Nevertheless, Rush opened his bank account up to lawsuit for calling 0 a liar and forger regarding his place of birth.
Rush just put a whole lotta money where his mouth is.
Or is this lost on you? Do I need to break out the crayolas?
Oh, please. I think not.
Obama is a public figure and besides, Limbaugh made no direct accusations.
Why in the world does EVERYTHING said or done by this radio
personality attain some kind of holy status? He's just a guy who talks.
“Nevertheless, Rush opened his bank account up to lawsuit for calling 0 a liar and forger regarding his place of birth.

Exactly. Love him or hate him, Rush is smart enough to understand that unless he has definitive proof, he’s not going to open his mouth about it.
Yikes. LOL
no, as a public official, Obama can’t sue for defamation
Interesting. If Obama sued, what evidence would he need in court?
Why? Obama is a public figure - perhaps THE most public figure - so he would have to prove that the statement Rush made was knowingly a libel of Obama. Rush could certainly show a lot of reasons why he sincerely believed what he said (assuming that BO was actually born in HI and can prove it in pleadings to the court), thereby killing BO's case. Further, what's the damage? Seriously, what's the cost to Obama is Rush Limbaugh says "he wasn't born in Hawaii?"
Fauxbama has no libel case.
