WestVirginiaRebel Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Politico: Rush Limbaugh has drawn the ire of celebrity lawyer Gloria Allred, who sent a letter to the Palm Beach County state attorney requesting an investigation into whether the popular radio host should be prosecuted for calling a law student a “slut” and “prostitute” last week. “Mr. Limbaugh targeted his attack on a young law student who was simply exercised her free speech and her right to testify before congress on a very important issue to millions of American women and he vilified her. He defamed her and engaged in unwarranted, tasteless and exceptionally damaging attacks on her,” Allred told POLITICO Friday afternoon. “He needs to face the consequences of his conduct in every way that is meaningful.” In a letter dated March 8, Allred, writing on behalf of the Women’s Equal Rights Legal Defense and Education Fund, requested that Palm Beach County State Attorney Michael McAuliffe probe whether the conservative radio personality had violated Section 836.04 of the Florida Statutes by calling Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke the two derogatory words. The statute stipulates that anyone who “speaks of and concerning any woman, married or unmarried, falsely and maliciously imputing to her a want of chastity” is guilty of a misdemeanor of the first degree. Allred explained that the statute recently came to her attention as having never been repealed, and that it could very well apply to Limbaugh’s remarks as his show is broadcast from West Palm Beach. It is now entirely up to the prosecutor to exercise his discretion on whether there will be a prosecution. McAuliffe did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Allred, whose most recent high-profile clients have included Sharon Bialek, who accused Herman Cain of sexual harassment, and porn star Ginger Lee, who exchanged explicit emails with former Rep. Anthony Weiner, said Friday that she has not yet been in touch with Fluke. “I don’t reach out to women, they reach rout to me,” she said. “If she did reach out to me, obviously I would respond.” ________ "Come on, girl! There's dollar signs here!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raygun Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Gloria Allred has drawn the ire of RayGun, who posted on a conservative discussion forum requesting an investigation by the local community college state attorney into whether the contemptible celebrity lawyer should be prosecuted for violating Constitutional free speech guarantees. “Ms. Alred targeted her attack on a conservative talk show-host who simply exercised their free speech and their right to express personal outrage to their audience on a very important issue to millions of Americans and she vilified him. She defamed him and engaged in unwarranted, tasteless and exceptionally damaging attacks on him,” RayGun told members of the Right Reasons web-forum Friday evening.. “She needs to face the consequences of her conduct in every way that is meaningful.” There. Fixed it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argyle58 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Section 836.04 of the Florida Statutes is a defamation statute. As such, the accused must only prove that his/her claims are true to avoid conviction. Since this whole mess started with Fluke publicly discussion her rather full dance card, I don't think that Rush has much to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evad Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 @WestVirginiaRebel Would it be wrong to call Ms. Allred a media whore? I think it would be more accurate to just call her a plain old garden variety whore, but, since she does it for money...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
