A good thwack of the rolled-up newspaper to the nose, which will hopefully discourage any other such attempts to undermine our sovereignty in this manner.

Huh? I thought it was quite clear that I was siding against the sleaze bag (who is, by definition, anyone who tries to undermine US sovereignty by going to the globalists).

Beck actually had a problem with this? Why would he even give the guy any publicity? He fell into a trap.

Why the he77 did this go to an “arbitrator” instead of U.S. courts. And why didn’t Glenn Beck sue for defamation of character and/or libel ?

LOL! Yes, I understand why, strategically, Beck went to the international arbitration panel but.... Let's see if Beck accepts the guy's gift of the digital real estate.

I am always amazed at so-called FReepers who will give up their core principles just because they happen to agree with the person who is trying to abuse them. The BushBots were the worst, but the fact that cripplecreek and Mnogamer are attacking you for defending the first amendment is really proof that they either have no idea what they are talking about or are simply Totalitarians coveniently hiding behind the mantle of conservativism. I will assume the former since ignroance has a much higher probability.

As a guy who's written a number of parodies (see, Rainforest Man, for example), I agree with the decision.

The fact that the Beck parody is not based in any fact, is completely unfunny and slimy, is irrelevant. Taste is not for the judge to arbitrate.

Beck didn't sue for libel, he sued for infringement and had no case.

What if the shoe were on the other foot and they used Obama’s name in a lie like that? Or Pelosi’s? Or Mohammed’s?

At the end of the day, it is always the same Thought-police who like to play their littel “call-out” games for those who really, truly stick to their principles.

I am forced to wonder if you are so wishy-washy in all aspects of your life?

Do you change favourite sports team dependent upon who just won the championship too? I bet you just turned from a Phillies fan into a Yankees fan didn’t you?

I can at least hope you change you underwear as often as you change your primciples.

The most amusing part is, you don’t even understand what I am talking about do you?
