69. Let me be blunt
You don't file lawsuits you are sure to lose. You don't file lawsuits where there is clearly a valid defense. Unless you want to waste your time and money, the court's time, and risk sanctions.

Of course I want to see people like Coulter held responsible for their ridiculous statements. But frankly, Rall is not much better than Coulter. He just happens to be on our side (most of the time). That doesn't make him a saint, and it sure doesn't make him the person to take on the Right ON THESE FACTS.

Lawsuits aren't always the answer. When I first got out of law school, I thought all you had to do was file a lawsuit and people would start throwing money at you. I quickly learned that they don't -- you have to chase them down, beat them up (figuratively speaking), and tear the money out of their hands kicking and screaming.

And you know what? I really don't mean to be condescending, but since you keep prolonging this I will: If you were a lawyer, you'd KNOW that what I said in this discussion is true.

Bake, Esq.
