Go figure: Gotcha lawyer Gloria Allred has proved herself more than willing to embroil herself in the controversy that continues to plague radio host Rush Limbaugh. The president of the Women’s Equal Rights Legal Defense and Education Fund sent a letter to the county prosecutor of West Palm Beach, Florida, to call for an investigation into whether Limbaugh violated Florida defamation law. From TPM:
Allred cites Section 836.04 of Florida Statute, which says that “whoever speaks of and concerning any woman, married or unmarried, falsely and maliciously imputing to her a want of chastity, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor of the first degree.”
“Mr. Limbaugh has publicly acknowledged that his reference to Ms. Fluke as a ‘slut’ and ‘prostitute’ were baseless and false,” Allred writes. “In view of the fact that Mr. Limbaugh resides in your county and allegedly made the false statements concerning Ms. Fluke in your county as well, this letter is directed to your office.”
I always knew Allred was an attention whore but she’s gone Full Nazi this time! Uncle Adolf would love her.
Fluke gives public testimony of how she's going broke having so much sex she can't pay for the contraceptives, and you wanna sue Rush for defamation?
LOL!!!
Allred is nothing but a camera f***er.

Hey Gloria! Go After Media Matters Too!
Gloria Allred wants Rush arrested under an obscure defamation law. But did you know the law states further?
Publications which tend to expose persons to hatred, contempt, or ridicule prohibited.
(1) It shall be unlawful to print, publish, distribute or cause to be printed, published or distributed by any means, or in any manner whatsoever, any publication, handbill, dodger, circular, booklet, pamphlet, leaflet, card, sticker, periodical, literature, paper or other printed material which tends to expose any individual or any religious group to hatred, contempt, ridicule or obloquy unless the following is clearly printed or written thereon:
(a) The true name and post office address of the person, firm, partnership, corporation or organization causing the same to be printed, published or distributed; and,
(b) If such name is that of a firm, corporation or organization, the name and post office address of the individual acting in its behalf in causing such printing, publication or distribution.
(2) Any person, firm or corporation violating any of the sections of this statute shall be guilty of a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.
One could argue that Media Matters that does have offices within Florida actually was guilty of breaking this law in it’s ongoing “war” on Rush Limbaugh and indeed other conservative media members. You could say that Media Matters and has sought to expose Rush to hatred, contempt, or ridicule, and has done so through media and print. So it appears they broke this law.
Not really a hard prediction, as I know you're aware. Progressives are so easy to read, as Rush has noted, and so predictable.
I predict that Allred&co will fail miserably in their attacks on Rush and will make fools of themselves in the process.
Another easy prediction. >grin>
You and I know this to be fact but far too many on FR are in denial.
