NEW YORK Columnist Ann Coulter made a provocative remark Friday about "Doonesbury" creator Garry Trudeau and editorial cartoonist Ted Rall. Trudeau is shrugging it off, but Rall is considering a lawsuit.
Coulter reportedly said Friday at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C.: "Iran is soliciting cartoons on the Holocaust. So far, only Ted Rall, Garry Trudeau, and The New York Times have made submissions."
Giving her remark another twist is the fact that the conservative Coulter has the same distributor -- Universal Press Syndicate -- as the liberal Rall and Trudeau.
When asked Monday if he wanted to respond to Coulter's comment, Trudeau told E&P via e-mail: "Nah."
Rall announced on his blog that he would look into taking legal action against Coulter if readers of his blog wanted him to -- and if they pledged the $6,000 needed to draft and file a lawsuit in New York........"

I'm sure that Ann could beat Rall in a fist fight.

I dont know if fantatic does it for Rall. Sociopath maybe. His cartoons are generally a picture of Bush, drawn terribly of course, with a voice bubble that says " I likes killin babies.". Maybe not verbatim but they arent far from that.

The freaky part is that many people could probably imagine Rall doing exactly what Ann said! Really, would anyone say such a thing was off the table for that guy? I mean, if one is willing to stoop to mocking the dead and condoning eco-terrorism, how much further down the road is something like making fun of the Holocaust?
Talk about being able to dish it but not being able to take it.

I'm already laughing. The more they do to point out to the public how radical they are, the better.
Sue away !!!!!

In Rall's case, Ann would win because he would run away crying.

Rall is sooooo liberal: easily offended, hair-trigger litigator, asking others to pay his way, persona dominated by characteristics of the opposite sex.

1. Truth is a complete defense.
2. Idiot, you have made yourself a public figure.
3. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and there's no
anyone could think this was anything but AC's opinion.
4. Satire is a form of protected speech.
5. Idiot, in light of your past work and statements,
you are not slanderable.
Take that to your lawyers. If they accept the case, they are guilty of a disciplenary offense because they know up front that this case is impossible for you to win. If it was such a great case and you were so sure of winning, you would be putting your own money. Also, you have probably committed an offense by seeking others to pay the costs of your lawsuit. This is a form of barratry and hopefully you will be sanctioned by the court.

"barratry" is a sin indulged in ONLY by lawyers.
