Indeed, make sure you do.
Because Charlie Sykes is publicly attributing to Chris Liebenthal a profane and abusive statement that Mr. Liebenthal in fact never made. You see, anybody can fill in the blanks with someone else's ID and leave a comment at the website in question, like so:
And, ironically, Charlie Sykes urges Mr. Liebenthal to "stay classy."
Need a lawyer, Chris?
I'd say the evidence is in BadgerBlogger's hands. They could examine the IP addresses of the commenters claiming to be "Capper" in this thread and previous threads.
ReplyDeleteSykes' burden of proof seems to be "if you see it on the Internets, it must be so." But then, he's just an entertainer, right?
I thought Haas's comment was correct: If you're not supposed to be using the Parks logo on political material, then both groups were in the wrong.
Mr. Sykes appears to be doing a bit of scrambling, more recently posting a note from one "Bruce" asserting once again that Chris authored the remark. An admission, of sorts, that Mr. Sykes had no such evidence when he published his initial claim.
ReplyDeleteThat could be a theme song:
ReplyDelete"I'm a capper, he's a capper, wouldn't you like to be a capper too?
Be a capper, comment at BB as a capper".
OK, so it needs work.
So they've since acknowledged that your ID has been spoofed. Why should anybody believe, then, that the comment Charlie Sykes is still using to defame you is not a spoof as well?
ReplyDeleteSimple. That would require mental health professionals to cure of them of their paranoid thinking first.
ReplyDeleteAnd they don't like health care.

ReplyDeleteLevin might know libel law better.
