City to retract release calling Free Republic a 'hate group.'
Fresno will pay $60,000 to conservative online forum Free Republic and retract a news release that called the organization a "hate group," according to a settlement agreement released Monday. Free Republic founder Jim Robinson, who lives in Fresno, said he wouldn't have filed the suit if the city had acknowledged its error.
"I think it's unfortunate the city did not retract and apologize immediately after they knew they were in the wrong," Robinson said.
City Attorney Hilda Cantu Montoy said the lawsuit was settled to "avoid the expense and burden of litigation."
"It's not in any way admitting any liability by any party," Montoy said.

One is considered to have hit the big time over there if you have had the opportunity to have one of your posts here on FR, CutnPasted to ElPeePee. That practice is referred to as QVCP (Quoted via CutnPaste) Star billing goes to Howlin. We are only co-stars in their sorry-ass production.

"The second quarter fundraiser = 100%. Thanks, City of Fresno"
More like, "Thanks, TAXPAYERS of Fresno.
While I congratulate FR on it's vindication, I can't get enthused over the idea of making the taxpayers pay for the gross stupidity of specific individual(s).
Off to work...and pay taxes.

Thanks Admin. Mod. for deleting Post #183. I messed up the HTML, for those of you wondering if you'd missed something exciting. Trying again....
If I wanted to be catty, in addition to the wOOhOO, I could add:
Yo! City of Fresno!
...but, I'm nicer than that. ;)

Didn't some doofus council member on another thread, imply the city settled it for $20 bucks Yes, and that doofus was none other than the President of the Fresno City Council himself, Brad Castillo.
"It's cheaper to pay these guys $20 and get rid of them than waste an attorney's time on them," Castillo said.
To: Johnny_Cipher
Cool! That's a whole quarter of fundraising all at once! :-)

"Maybe they settled on that amount because it was the yearly salary of the late (job-wise anyway), unlamented Ms. Reyes."
funny, that was my thought as well....
