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.

Something about a billion dollars here, a billion dollars there ... pretty soon you're talking about some REAL money. Who was it, G. Gordon Liddy said that ?? Or was it Will Rogers?

Can someone please tell me why the City of Fresno NEEDS a Human Relations Commission? Because many city beureaucrats on Fresno have kids (with liberal arts degrees) who can't find a real job and they want those kids out of the house...

I thought about it, but since the subject matter was already part of this thread, I just appended it.
I think the source website is San Francisco-based.

I'm the guilty party for the repeat, not cedar dave. I didn't see it a couple of days ago, and didn't really re-post as a new thread.
When I read it, I laughed so hard I almost wet my pants. The leftists need a reality check, bad

Whoops ! I just did a Google Search for that expression and found this:http://money.cnn.com/2003/04/09/news/companies/pepsi_billion_game/
Billion here, a billion there
No matter how many people ultimately watch the program, though, can any product marketer afford to give away that much cash? After all, as the late Sen. Everett Dirksen once observed, "a billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you're talking real money."
