@ Twatty/Rick: Yeah, I know — no use expecting a response from this idiot, especially now that Ellen finally sent him away (thx Ellen), but I gotta ask . . .

Would anyone be surprised to learn that Soros, Bloomberg, or the Obama cabal were behind this phony “lawsuit”?

Hm, dunno why Bloomberg would have anything to do with this — he’s a former repub who doesn’t like Obama . . . the people “behind” the lawsuit are a family-owned media company (the NJMD is owned the Borg Family, who’ve owned the Bergen County <i>Record</i> since 1930.) Thought you rightwingnuts were all for wealth concentrated in family dynasties . . .

@ Lynn Braddy: “I hear NJ Media Group ready to declare bankruptcy, unless Palin settles for 100 mil.”

Where’d you hear that, Lynn?

Wait, lemme guess — your own personal “echo chamber”:

Joseph, that’s 2012 in a nutshell. Fox News was told that they couldn’t use music, clips and other media because of how they were using it. GOP politicians were told they couldn’t use songs and restricted use footage because of how they were implying they were going to use it.

It became that they’re picked on for being conservatives.

I know that when a Republican asks for the support of my workplace or volunteer venues, I say no. Then I make it clear that it’s not because they’re republicans. It’s that their party attacks my profession daily, tries to shut down the charities I help, calls the center teachers “thugs and parasites” to their faces, and attack me personally as a woman, a minority, a Bay Area resident, a charity volunteer, and someone who’s life depends on health care reform.

Well, that’s what Republicans do, but it’s not like I hear the word Republican and say no- They might be one of the few exceptions. Hasn’t happened yet, but you never know.

They then demand to talk to my supervisor who tells them the same thing- Often louder, and with a huge “and the horse you rode in on!” at the end.

I love how Rick showed up to call this a “phony lawsuit.” Because, you know- Putting a PAC copyright on an already copyrighted picture isn’t a crime or anything. Not only that, but the copyright on it is listed as having a non commercial restriction, meaning that Palin violated copyright again using it as an ad.

Oh, and let’s not forget the small little fact that, in the article, as well as every article about this, Palin and her people thought they were above the cease and desist order.

but, nice to know that pointing all this out makes you “hateful.”

Mark, isn’t it so interesting how the right-wing community feels it’s their right to break the law as they see fit but for everyone else, they turn into the Red Queen?

You just know that if a “liberal” inadvertently violated copyright infringement (such as, say, using a FoxNoise commentator’s statement in a political ad*), the right would be in court demanding an immediate cease-and-desist order be handed down and if the “liberal” didn’t respond within 5 seconds, he’d be slapped with a minimum 7-figure lawsuit. BUT, let a rightie deliberately violate copyright infringement (such as, say, using a rock song as her “theme song” without getting approval by the song’s writer/s or performer/s) and they whine and whine and whine about how it’s “fair use” and they’re “being persecuted for being conservative” and how it was “just a mistake” while not stopping until they’re either sued or threatened with being sued.

*Technically, such use does fall within “fair use” guidelines but there’s also the idea that a “public figure” (even a talking head) does have some right to protecting the use of their own image. It usually requires a court to determine how much unauthorized use of another person’s image can be permitted under the “fair use” doctrine. Actual politicians (even aspiring politicians) lose some of the image protection rights but newscasters are generally more strongly protected, especially when the programs on which they appear are officially copyright protected.

And what is it about Caribou Barbie that we’re supposed to like, wingnut teabagger moron? And what part of “copyright infringement” don’t you understand?

God, what a hateful bunch of simpletons you people are!

Pretty patriot princess Sarah Palin is prominent, politically powerful, and popular with the people. Would anyone be surprised to learn that Soros, Bloomberg, or the Obama cabal were behind this phony “lawsuit”?

Sarah sez

Can’t we all jest git alone … ah, along …

The Grifter from Wasilla could give Elmer Gantry huckstering lessons.
Lower than whale shit, she is.

Waiting for the winsome, wholesome Whore of Babble-On to try to wriggle herself out of this wicket with yet another BJ infomercial with her BFF Van Suckup.

That lamestream media strikes again!
