are these people somehow in bed with Dingy Harry?

Not likely. The Democratic Party of Nevada and Democratic Underground are among their targets.

The article says that some are claiming Righthaven is engaging in barratry: abuse of the legal system to harass.

I note that barratry is a felony in Texas, and also that Righthaven has filed suit against the Second Amendment Sisters, who are based in Lakeway, TX. If any of the SAS folks are here, you might consider filing a complaint against Righthaven in Texas.

And, barratry is a misdemeanor in California. Jim, if your attorney doesn't already know this, you might want to ask him to consider filing a complaint against Righthaven.

Wiki but whoever wrote this has a way with words.

Barratry, when used elsewhere, may refer to the buying and selling of positions (which are expected to bring greater income in time) within civil authority. This venality is the secular counterpart of simony, which is the buying and selling of positions (notably benefices) within the church.

In his Inferno, Canto XXI, Dante places barrators in the Eighth Circle, fifth bolgia of Hell.

We at Second Amendment Sisters are following this very closely---barraty could be a good thing for us.......
