We need a study to figure out how so many that attend college emerge with a lower IQ and cleansed of all common sense. Many here know the answer.trublue said:
For a “man” who boasts about having a law degree and an MBA from UW, he is educated beyond common sense and virtually always wrong.Sledog said:
Is HH another ambulance chaser?SFGbob said:
Wow, you didn't read the entire complaint did you O'Keefed. Man I pity your clients.HHusky said:
I didn’t say there were no partial quotations. Is there even one complete sentence quoted in the entire pleading?SFGbob said:There are numerous quotes in the complaint from the Post. You lied O'Keefed.
Allegedly works in some type of civil law practice.
Think he skipped criminal law or is suffering from the Biden syndrome.
He’s excellent at lying, obfuscation and denial even when his balls are in a vise.
His posting on the “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” fiasco in Ferguson were classic HH. -
Plus the dazzler is a moral coward.Sledog said:

Anyone else notice how the Dazzler has now posted dozens of responses all since the news came out exposing him as both liar and moron and not a single one of his posts acknowledges that he had his head up his ass.
That's some form of cowardice Dazzler. -
Yeah, the dazzler thinks that his taxes are to low and that this is a moral issue. But he won't pay more taxes unless he is forced to by law backed up by a gun. Definitely a profiles in courage moment.

I'm not the expert, but if someone put a gun to my head I'm betting he gets paid more than enough in a settlement.HHusky said:
There may very well be journalistic ethics rules and codes. But I’m not aware of anything that makes his legal claim any stronger.Doogles said:
I took a journalism ethics class many moons ago so I barely remember much, but I do recall the protection of a Minor's identity/image is a pretty big deal.HHusky said:
I’m not aware of any reason his being a minor makes any difference legally.greenblood said:
Does the fact that he's a minor have any impact? I assume not, but in the court of public opinion it could be a huge blow to the post. They might just settle to shut the kid up.HHusky said:
You’re making my point, blob. That paragraph is just about the only substantive allegation and the quotations are so choppy that you have to fully accept the characterization of the quotations as perfectly true to construct any argument. There are no lengthy statements quoted in their original context. The complaint goes on for pages without much more than conclusory statements about the Post’s alleged motivation.SFGbob said:
On January 19, 20 and 21, the Post ignored the truth and falsely accused Nicholas of, among other things, “accost[ing]” Phillips by “suddenly swarm[ing]” him in a “threaten[ing]” and “physically intimidat[ing]” manner as Phillips “and other activists were wrapping up the march and preparing to leave,” “block[ing]” Phillips path, refusing to allow Phillips “to retreat,” “taunting the dispersing indigenous crowd,” chanting “build that wall,” “Trump2020,” or “go back to Africa,” and otherwise engaging in racist and improper conduct which ended only “when Phillips and other activists walked away.”HHusky said:
Maybe. I just read the complaint though. You would think the Post would be extensively quoted in a case of defamation seeking $200 million in punitive damages. But the Post isn’t quoted very much or at much length. Instead, the theory seems to be what the Post knew or should have known. The word “malice” is thrown around, but it seems closer to a negligent reporting claim.HillsboroDuck said:
He ain't getting a quarter billion but I bet he gets a nice seven figure settlement.dflea said:
Sure. But damages are going to be difficult to document in a case like this.GrundleStiltzkin said:
For frivolous reporting. WaPo fucked up.dflea said:Frivolous lawsuit.
Why you always check O'Keefed's claims. Shocking, he lied.
Whether it's libel or negligence I don't know, but the kid is going to get paid.
He could probably say all kinds of shit being a minor, That all the backlash gave him anxiety and kept him from getting accepted into that six-fig dream school college, whatever.
Bezos will write a check, brush his teeth, and move the fuck on.

Hey fag I made it clear I don't know what I'm talking about, just surprised anyone would bet he won't get paid.CirrhosisDawg said:
You took a journalism ethics class? That makes you a first amendment and libel law expert in trump world. Do you advise GayBob on his legal analyses as well?Doogles said:

Weird. It doesn’t matter how many times I tell Gasbag that taxes aren’t a moral issue for me, he repeats that they are.WestlinnDuck said:Yeah, the dazzler thinks that his taxes are to low and that this is a moral issue.

Lying—it’s the new moral courage! -

I said I was surprised, ma’am. You know, like you were when Michael Brown’s parents got $1.5 million.SFGbob said:Anyone else notice how the Dazzler has now posted dozens of responses all since the news came out exposing him as both liar and moron and not a single one of his posts acknowledges that he had his head up his ass.
That's some form of cowardice Dazzler.
