Andrew Breitbart Dead of AIDS at 83

Apparently so. Even if it's in retaliation.

Hell,
If you get down to it one can accuse someone of making terrorist remarks then beat it into the ground OKC. As long as it's not in the title it's OK.

Although he doesn't report to me the last I heard Moen hasn't moved to Wisconsin, the state capitol building still stands and violence has not been a REAL issue (other than right wingers harrasing those seeking signatures for Scott Walker's recall).

Jibber-Jabber. Take a long hard look in the mirror OKC.

 

Such Personal Attacks on Members of the forum by other members will not be allowed

 

Thank you, Moderator.

He's an admitted domestic terrorist. I'm not beating it into the ground, just repeating what he said at appropriate times in posts that call for it.

Everyone has a mirror, Clembo. Take a serious look at yourself sometime. Really.

 

May we defame non-members?

 

The point is you can not accuse Moen of lying as he openly states his post was not true!! The person he was talking about is not a member of the forum so it is not a personal attack on another member
Sure it is in bad taste but we have seen the same sort of thing before
and will do again in the future
As for defamation I will leave that one to Peter to rule on as your 1st amendment of the US constitution makes the law in the US rather vague on what is and what is not defamation

 

I refer you to my post above, and will add that if you choose to defame anyone you leave yourself open to any legal ramifications
You do not have permission to defame anyone that is your personal choice and you are solely responsible for your own remarks

 

That's exactly how I read the Terms of Service. Members here "don't have permission to defame anyone...". I might add that I think it would be a good idea for everyone here to refresh themselves on the Terms of Service (so they don't leave themselves open to any legal ramifications, as you so aptly put it).

Since I can create a thread title that says just about anything against anyone who is not a member of this forum (as long as I state in the post that it's untrue) I think I may have a little fun....

 

Again I never said that you could do so
If you want to try playing games, you do so at your own risk. If I feel you are taking things to far I am giving you fair warning now that I will ban you.

"You do not have permission to defame anyone that is your personal choice and you are solely responsible for your own remarks"​

​

 

No games. Just curious how the Terms of Service specifically deal with defamation. From what I understand you saying and since it's not my intent to "take things too far", forum members are not given permission to defame anyone, but if we happen to do so, we take full responsibility for our remarks. Correct? In fact, the Terms of Service state, "You agree to not use the Service to post or link to any Content which is defamatory...". That pretty much says, "Don't post anything defamatory"!

Now, the thread title ANDREW BREITBART DIES OF AIDS AT AGE 83 (which is an outright lie and the poster even stated it was his intent to misinterpret the manner of death) will, as you said, have to be ruled upon by Peter as to whether or not it meets the definition of "defamation" outlined in the Terms of Service. Fair enough.

 

Once again I will reiterate it is a decision for Peter to make

 

This thread was intended to be political satire. Political satire has a long history in this country. Nobody considers political satire defamatory because of its obvious falsehood. It's not like Right-wingers ever get humor that is why it is so hard to find a successful Right-wing comedian. They just don't get it.

So, once again moen, why did you choose aids as the cause of death? Is there some sort of stigma attached to those who die of aids? Is there something about dying from aids that you find humorous?

 

Yes there is some sort of stigma attached to AIDS at least on the Right. On the Left we understand that it is a disease that anyone can die from. On the Right it is almost exclusively thought of as a gay person's disease. So if the irony is lost on you, I am unsurprised. Dying from a heart attack just isn't as interesting as dying from AIDS. Beside, we don't know if the fat slob didn't die from AIDS. Let's not assume anything here. AIDS is just as conceivable as any other cause of death.

 

Here, let me define hypocrisy for y’all.

Anyone here today has probably been around long enough to remember what was said by the same members whining about my treatment of Breitbart’s death when Ted Kennedy died. Where was the respect for Kennedy? Where was all the good taste they are calling for now when Kennedy died? Issues were dragged up from 50 years ago by all of the same people complaining about this thread. And I don’t recall anyone from the Left starting a thread in retaliation that had to be deleted by the mods. So please, put your phony indignation away. You don’t have the credibility to trot out here.

 

Well we have to be fair. It should be no surprise that people who are walking talking political satires themselves and seemingly totally unaware of it should not get it when they political satire consciously presented to them.

 

Breitbart's own supporters apparently are questioning his death because of his well-known propensity for stretching the facts. As far as the rumors of Breitbart being gay, I didn't start them and where there are rumors, we have the possibility that all that illicit gay sex he may have been having could have resulted in AIDS or even straight illicit sex, who knows? You just can't write this stuff.

And then we have this:

 

"At least on the Right." Thank you. I would add that the attitude is found particularly on the religious Right. And of course among those on the less religious Right who pander and bow to their more theocratic brethren. Which would be all of them. So never mind.

 

OK, now it's official: You've lost your mind.

Did you really just say that? REALLY? You have got to be one of the most inconsiderate, dispassionate, uncaring ignoramuses I've ever had the displeasure of conversing with. AIDS can be a devastating disease and to refer to it so callously is just a slap in the face to those faced with living with it and to those who have died from it.

 

Who here made fun of how Kennedy died or misrepresented the facts of his death?

 

The real measure of someone is when they are making an off-the-cuff comment. In this case we have moen using AIDS as a pergorative to insult Breitbart even in death.
