Glennbeckrapedand murderedayounggirlin 1990.com is Protected Speech, Says Arbitrator

 

Glenn Beck's lawyers have lost the effort to shut down the Web site glennbeckrapedandmurderedayounggirlin1990.com on grounds that it is protected speech, said World Intellectual Property Organization arbitration panelist Frederick Abbott.

Site creator Isaac Eiland-Hall argued that Beck's rhetorical techniques are being parodied. Marc Randazza, his lawyer, referenced Beck's interview with Muslim congressman Keith Ellison, asking for proof that he was "not working with our enemies."

Its origins lie with a Web meme from Fark.com on Aug. 31, when the question was posed by a user: "Why haven't we had an official response to the rumor that Glenn Beck raped and murdered a girl in 1990?" Eiland-Hall's site was set up the next day.

  It is protected speech  
 
but if you claim it and it´s not true, then it´s either slander or libel.

I don´t think truth is the _only_ defence against libel and slander in American law. (And unfortunately I don´t think it isn´t always a defence in Australian law! WTF!)

I thought comedy and parody was quite permissible.

Just found this on the wikipedia website for defamation:
"Claimant is incapable of further defamation–e.g., the claimant´s position in the community is so poor that defamation could not do further damage to the plaintiff. Such a claimant could be said to be "libel-proof," since in most jurisdictions, actual damage is an essential element for a libel claim. Essentially, the defense is that the person had such a bad reputation before the libel, that no further damage could possibly have been caused by the making of the statement."

Do you think that would apply with Glenn Beck? :D

  LOL  
 
"but if you claim it and it´s not true, then it´s either slander or libel."

That´s Fox News´ business plan.

  What I´m worried about  
 
Is that people are saying Glenn Beck´s threatening to rape and murder another young girl if people don´t stop talking about it!

Glenn Beck has not proven that he DIDN´T rape and murder a young girl. You have to ask yourself why?

  Beck should get the domain name  
 
the same way Jay Leno stole www.JayLenoShow.com from Zambrano:

I agree. I´m not making any accusations, but it seems suspicious that Glenn Beck hasn´t provided even the slightest bit of evidence that he didn´t rape and murder a young girl in 1990. Is he hiding something? Something related to the his alleged rape and murder of a young girl in 1990 perhaps?

"...to the his alleged..."

Ignore either "the" or "his".
 
 by: erasedgod   11/10/2009 07:09 PM     
  Good.  
 
I´m glad the quest to get Glenn Beck to comment on whether he raped and killed a young girl in 1990 will continue. I think it´s shameful that he remains silent about such an important issue.

I´m also getting tired of Glenn Beck trying to take away all our freedoms.

  that joke  
 
was used in the fryer´s roast of bob sagat by Gilbert Gottfried he kept saying stuff like how so many people loved bob sagat, who raped and murdered a girl in 1990, and how people appreciate the acting skills of bob sagat, who raped and murdered a girl in 1990. those weren´t the exact jokes but that´s what its from.

  I was around in 1990  
 
and I don´t remember hearing anything about how Glenn Beck raped and murder a young girl in 1990. But of course that doesn´t mean Glenn Beck didn´t rape and murder a young girl in 1990. Glenn Beck may of just raped and murdered a young girl in 1990 under the table.
