Susan B. Anthony List is a reputable organization. It’s possible that they made some small factual error, but it’s extremely unlikely that they lied about this guy.
And as a public figure he is open to criticism as a matter of free speech. It is VERY difficult to convict someone for libeling a public figure, even if they blatantly lie—which leftists do all the time. But I have received mailings from SBAL for many years, and I have never seen anything like that.
So the Tea Party ought to sue Biden for defamation with him calling the Tea Party terrorists? Oops, I forgot, rules and laws do not apply to RATS!
SBA was doubtless correct when they spoke of the net effect of his vote, plus his responsibility to have known better. I very much doubt they ever accused him of “wanting to kill babies” or such.
In the meantime, I wonder if he weeps all the way to the bank as a lobbyist.
And I'm not talking about Governor Mitt either.
Since when is an elected position your "job and economic livelihood," and better yet, since when is it YOUR JOB????

If this prevails, even someones published voting record may not be able to be used against them. If this was another Judge other than an Obama appointed, the First amendment and election free speech might have a chance. But with him probably calling Holder at DOJ to find out how to rule makes it less likely to end well. Unless of course the defendant happens to be one of Holder’s people, then all bets are off.
Where’s that ad that said “If you vote Republican, black churches will burn” or that “When George W. Bush vetoed that hate crime law, it was like lynching my child all over again.”
I’d bet $1000 that whatever was said in that pro-life was probably more true than those two hit jobs.
A Party member was ousted. The people at fault must be made to pay.
How can he say it isn't true? The bill provides for taxpayer funding of abortions. He voted for it. He supports taxpayer funded abortions. QED. If he wins this one it is truly an abrogation of the First Amendment.
“Elected office as a livelihood. There’s so much wrong with this lawsuit it’s hard to know where to begin.”
If they do get away with this and it becomes fair game everywhere we will be able to put democrats in the poor house.
