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... |

In a letter to County Attorney Denise Nieman in West Palm Beach, Florida, dated March 8, Allred says Limbaugh may have violated a misdemeanor statute against defamation. "Mr. Limbaugh has publicly acknowledged that his reference to Ms. Fluke as a 'slut' and a 'prostitute' were baseless and false," Allred wrote. Allred said Nieman's office should "open an investigation into whether or not Mr. Rush Limbaugh is in violation of Section 836.04 of Florida Statutes.... |

Another lawyer not familiar with the 1st amendment or her own party.
I wish someone would counter by suing Bill Maher.
To heck with them. I don’t care about stooping to their level.
Gosh, I thought her calendar was all booked with prosecuting the Herman Cain floozies......
Prosecuted for calling names? Had he thrown sticks and stones, maybe. But names?
Gloria supports legalization of prostitution probably has marched in the “Slut Walks” and if not she surely supports women who hold signs in favor of Slut Pride. It is the really cool thing to do if you are a feminist now.
She sees nothing wrong with women who choose to be prostitutes. So why is she upset with Rush calling a women a prostitute when she defend prostitution as a worthwhile profession?
“In 1994, Allred wrote an editorial for the December 6 issue of the Los Angeles Times, titled “Prosecution or Persecution,” in which she asserted that laws prohibiting prostitution are sexist and victimize women. She advocated legalization and regulation of the sex trade in order to reduce sexually transmitted diseases and drug abuse. According to Allred, “Unprotected, uninsured sex workers are the real victims who deserve legal status and an end to government-funded harassment.” http://www.answers.com/topic/gloria-allred
Gloria is a SLUT.
Gloria stepped in it. The comments section in Politico, of all places, was essentially 450 comments calling Allred a publicity whore. Different words, many more harsh, but the same sentiment.
Good point.
I saw this and about hit the moon.
I need to go chill out for a while.
Nite all.
I think those people are called "lawyers."
She wishes. You cannot prosecute somone for their opinions.
She is spinning her wheels
Oh.. puh-leeze!
Fluke you, Gloria.
Any idea what law would have been broken?
Didn’t Allred recently accidentally and inappropriately release her massive list of lib press release contacts to keep her name constantly in the press? Obviously, Rush could “help her out” by advertising her released info and asking his listeners to contact all those the media people (over and over again) to insure that Gloria achieves the level of media hog visability she is seeking.
A few million calls and emails a day to those on her list would get Gloria what she deserves.
The discovery process is going to be quite something.
