Hillary.com editor peeved at "Hillary Serpent" pic

Those of you who are frequent readers of Nealz Nuze know that I like to post nifty little pictures on this website. One of my favorite targets for fun and, yes, ridicule is none other than Hitlary Clinton. Several days ago I posted a picture of The Hildebeast with a rather interesting little addition. You can see that picture by clicking right here!!!

Well, it seems that some of you folks out there have taken this picture from my website and posted it to a website called The Hillary Clinton Forum. Believe me, the people who run that forum aren’t amused. Imagine my distress.

Here is an e-mail I received from Esme Taylor, the editor of The Hillary Clinton Forum, this morning:

Mr. Boortz,

That serpent-tongued picture of Hillary, with your name on it, is back to harass us again.
You admitted it was harassment so why did you continue to leave it on your server for people to harass us again, and again, and again?
Please delete that picture fromyour server or you leave me no option but to sue you. I don't want to do that I just want you to get it off your server to stop people from harassing us. You know they are harassing us so why do you continue?
I expect it to be removed immediately you receive this email. If you are not capable of accessing your server, then please reply to this email to inform me that you have made arrangements for it to be removed, and what time you expect this to be done.
It puzzles me that you have such bad things to say about Hillary, yet you do not hesitate to harass me and the members on my forum, both left and right with a vile and extremely disgusting image.
It also puzzles me that you have deliberately exposed us to even more harassment after I put you on notice. I hope there is a shred of decency in you to which I can appeal for relief from this despicable harassment.
As I told you before, there have been hundreds of ugly Hillary pictures posted on my forum, but this one is so vile that it makes us all sick.
Esme Taylor Editor, Hillary Clinton Forum

Now --- I want you naughty people who have been posting this picture on The Hillary Clinton Forum to do the right thing and apologize. Here’s the editor’s e-mail address. Editor@hillary.org.

Sorry I am late to this, haven't been on the pc for a few days! Sent this to the "editor@hillary.org" I wrote this before reading all of the posts here....

I have no idea what you do on your forum....and am not the least bit interested!

What I do find interesting is that in your frustration, you are blasting one person and threatening to sue when it is not that person's responsibility!! Anyone can take a picture from anywhere and post it on a forum. You seriously cannot believe that you can hold one person accountable for the actions of others he/she may not ever know....because they took a picture from that site and put it on yours? This person is not harassing you!!! If others place it there, it very likely isn't even the same people each time. So who will you sue???!!!! Everyone on the internet????? And you will get it to stick because ?????

They chose to express their opinions, placing a picture on your forum. Are you saying that because you find it distasteful you have a right to censor them, or sue this person? and the constitution and bill of rights mean what to you? freedom of speech and expression??? what country do you live in????? perhaps a move is necessitated on your part to a place where opposing opinions are unlawful!

What are your regulations on your forum? Maybe you need to change them so that they prohibit anyone from posting anything dissenting to your program!! That way you can enjoy everyone patting each other on the back and all being a bunch of "yes-men" and "yes-women".....unable to have any true thought of their own that may deviate from "The Program".

Maybe the real question here is, are you trying to be blinded to the fact that THE someone pictured perhaps does speak with a forked tongue ? Or is it the masses you are trying to blind and shield?

Even funnier....the fact that in your state of high adrenaline your letter was full of grammar mistakes and missing words! But, who noticed!!!

I am with the artist.....I do not believe words that come from the mouth of either Hilary or Bill Clinton. They have proved they cannot be trusted. Continue to hope there is "good" in them, if you like, but if you would examine past behavior the truth would be evident! I am sorry that you are blinded to it, and pray that your eyes will be opened before long. It is odd how some people can just exude evil, and it can show. The Clintons exude it, as does Steve Forbes and a few others!!! Just looking at them it can be seen. Maybe it is only clear to those who look from the eyes of the soul.

irritated by your irrational threatening! like a fly that can be flicked off!

FLICK!

BTW-Bush is a functioning illiterate.

The term is 'functional illiterate', you boob.

Just like a socialist...lying just like your heroes the Clintons.

In case you didn't notice, our President has a degree from an Ivy League school of some note...unlike your other idol Algore, who flunked out of Divinity School.

Oh, and he won his home state in the last election, unlike the disgraced Clinton/Gore losers.

Go crawl back under the rock you came from.

The free speech issue arises outof its attempt to restrict others.
It would be akin to JimRob telling me I can't post certain info on my personal website because others were lifting it and putting it on FR.
Also, presumably, Hillary.com is a quasi-public site in that it is an advocate for a US Senator.

The problem with your analysis (and say this with the utmost respect for your opinion) is that the so-called free speech dispute is between private parties and as a result the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution never comes into play. I am absolutely 100% positive that if the parties involved in this dispute were to go to court on the premise that Hillary.com was violating the right of free speech within the constitutional sense, the court would certainly throw the case out and quite possibly impose sanctions against counsel for engaging in frivilous litigation. Also, the conduct of Hillary.com does not equate to "state action" simply because the website is an advocate for a public officer. Both the SCOTUS and the US Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit have established a very high threshold for a private organization to be held liable for constitutional violations as if the private person were acting as official arm of a governmental entity. Indeed, I just filed a brief with the US District Court for the SDNY addressing the exact issue. Trust me on this one: Hillary.com can not be held liable for depriving anyone of their First Amendment rights in violation of 42 USCS section 1983.
