Can anyone refute the claims in this letter? Yes, I can. The letter claims the ad is libelous.
In fact, it's would be IMPOSSIBLE to win a libel claim about just about anything said about a high profile politician. Any lawyer will tell you don't even bother with a libel suit if a person is a public figure....anything goes.

It's one thing to "advise" the stations on their legal rights as to accepting the advertisement, but there's a distinct odor of intimidation about this letter -- "Run the ad and you'll pay" comes across loud and clear.
Just when I think Dems can't get any lower, they dig a hole in the dirt and crawl down.

True, Falwell lost against Flynt.

YOu are correct...high profile person can't sue for libel or slander...ONLY if it affects his current source of income. OR that is how I have had it explained to me...
