+The man in the audience committed two political crimes which hurt conservatives and Trump. He made accusations that he could not back up (no first hand knowledge on Obama’s religion, birthplace and muslim training camps.
Secondly, he embarrassed Trump and hurt him”
First, everyone knows Obama is a Muslim in his heart whether they admit it or not.
Second, Trump will not be hurt by this as long as he stands strong. I’ve been vacillating between Trump, Carson, Cruz, and Walker. Now I am firmly in Trump’s camp. We have every right to speak out whether people like it or not. Since when can’t one third of the people say what they believe. and if they were honest, there’s at least another third that believe he is a Muslim, but are afraid to admit it openly. The other third are either lying don’t care, or have a low IQ.
There is a very great difference between an “I believe that” opinion and a “declarative statement” that someone “is” something.
Can be the grounds for a libel suit. I know of one such case that I worked on where someone who should have known better left out a “clarifying” word or two and got sued by a hardcore leftist wacko attorney. Took years to settle.
If you want to “say what they/I believe”, go ahead, but think “smart” about what you will say. Say something unprovable and you will look like a fool.
I’ve been a writer for 45 years and never sued. I take “accuracy” very seriously.
