"You do realize that slander is a crime don't you?" First, it is not slanderous. If you think it is, please use all resources you can to do something about it. I dare or beg you too. Any way you want it.
I thought that slander was something that libertarians can tolerate. Who would enforce such a thing, BIG GOVERNMENT?
First, it is not slanderous.
A type of
defamation. Slander is an untruthful oral (spoken) statement about a person that harms the person's reputation or standing in the community. Because slander is a
tort (a
civil wrong), the injured person can bring a lawsuit against the person who made the false statement. If the statement is made via broadcast media -- for example, over the radio or on TV -- it is considered
libel, rather than slander, because the statement has the potential to reach a very wide audience.
So... yeah. Blatant misrepresentation of Paul's words and policies counts.
