Apparently he posted a pic originally published in the Denver Post. The young man lives on his own on disability in a rented house. When sued he immediately took down the pic.
RightHaven (apparently) still wants $6,000.
By the way, this means that the Denver Post is now (apparently) a RightHaven client, though the Post didn't see it as 'news' and so hadn't reported it. Consider that fact if you have any dealings with the Post.

Hopefully his disability alone is enough to get the suit waived.
Fred, it sounds like you managed to beat the ethically challenged folks there at WrongHaven. Is there a one-size-fits-all way to do it? Did you end up forfeiting any $$ to them or did you get it back?
These bottom-feeding leeches on society. Hope they get sued for conspiracy to deprive citizens of their First Amendment rights--and lose big. They are one of the most despicable greedy bunch of ba$tards I have ever seen.

Goggle should be a target as they enable allot of this but provide no warning. Lets try warning labels like on cigarettes before site is accessed.
Those who advertise on those sites should be shunned. I just don't go there if I am aware.

It would appear to me that these bottom feeders are being encouraged by some thing. I get the nasty feeling that this is another attempt by the leftists to muzzle free speech. Perchance we pass the hat and get a real barracuda of the barrister occupation to perform an auto de fey on them and get some public humiliation.
In california they had a similar company going around suing small businesses for minor health and sanitation violations under some lawyer welfare law. A couple of the shock jocks in LA got ahold of the scam and the next thing we knew the law was overturned and the lawyers involved were in jail or hiding under some rock in Bimini.

Problem with that theory is that they went after Democratic Underground, hardly a right-wing (or even mild left-center) site.
The bright spot is that now all kinds of legal-types are working pro bono on behalf of DU.
Two of our adult kids went to the rally. Their signs asked for discussion of the various medical cuts, as they have both been without medical insurance at times. Our family stands to lose a lot in this budget cutting process. We recognize the need for the cuts and are willing to deal with them, provided the cuts are thought through. We do feel that this bill is being rammed through in the same manner that the Pelosi-care bill was rammed through: a lot of activists and legislators don't seem to know what's in it.
Nobody in this family holds much respect for the unions. And I sent a love letter to my state senator telling him that holing up in Illinois is disgraceful.
There were flakes from both ends of the political spectrum, but the flakes found themselves shouted down by their own allies. While assorted pro-union types were chanting, somebody hollered, "Walker is a Nazi!" The union members stopped chanting, said "He's not a Nazi; shut up!" and went back to chanting. Various security staff (including sheriff's deputies from other counties) politely but firmly told people who were making pests of themselves to leave--and they did, with some grumbling. No arrests were made.
People had mixed reactions to our daughters' signs reading "Think it through" and "Hyperbole doesn't help." A set of imported Tea Partiers from Minnesota didn't seem to understand the word "hyperbole". Neither did a few of the flakier liberal specimens.
The link connects you to a variety of items from the Wisconsin State Journal's coverage of the rallies
Brought to you by a unionized teachers establishment that somehow fails to understand itself or educates the public that Nazi is short for the Nationalist Socialist Workers Party. Unlike their redder brethren the [International] Communist Socialists who by pattern looted their own countries first, the National Socialist took a different approach of looting their neighbors to 'spread the wealth' along with specific ethnic communities. They're credentialed, not educated.

"Republicans are not about a shut down -- if that is the Democrats' intention, that is unfortunate," Cantor told the freshman lawmakers, according to the source. "When you go home and talk to your constituents, let's show them how united we are, and let's them that we are changing Washington and finally getting this government's fiscal house in order." Looks like vote-whoring Dems are counting on the idiot masses to run back to mama as soon as the $hit hits the fan.
I sent my reps to Washington with the idea that they had better fix the debt, which includes future obligations, under control. Even if it hurts me. And that they had better get the job done in a reasonable time.
If they have to shut down the government to beat that idea into thick liberal skulls in order to get the job done, so be it. Even if it damages the country's credit rating. I'm tired of a budget that isn't balanced. I'm tired of politicians buying votes instead of doing what's right for the country. I'm tired of the federal government way overstepping its bounds. I want to see competition between sovereign states, not a homogenous union whose only boundaries are lines on a map. I want good ideas to be adopted and bad ones shrivel up and die instead of getting subsidized until the good ones die.
Liberals would do well to consider what would have happened had the entire congress and their clueless president been up for reelection last November.
All parties would do well to act as if people will remember in 2012. And probably well beyond.
If my reps do that job, and do it honestly, I will vote for them again.
If my reps do not do that job, I will vote for different reps until I find some that will.

The Democrats are still fantasizing that a shutdown would be like the last one, under Clinton, in which, with the help of the MSM, the public were fooled into thinking it was the Republicans fault.
However, Bill was the consummate con artist in selling his scheme. Bambi is not. Many people now cringe at the very sound of his voice. And even though the MSM would get all leg-twingy about it, most people would place the blame squarely where it belongs--on the guy waving the veto pen.

But 'moose, a lot more people are dependent on the government now. A shutdown is an attack on THEM. Bambi doesn't have to be as slick as Willie.
Polls show that most people want spending reductions - but never a majority in any one (significant) place. So the pols do what works - keep on spending.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
