    I guess it is because people are holding "Fire Letterman" rallies.

    I would call that a big deal.

    because liberals do no wrong in their own mind. they allege that they are the party to stand up for women's rights, but tollerate or even defend Letterman's statements???

    It is a weird line is it not.

    Overt racism is ok, but overt sexism is not.

    Why did you even pose that statement as a question?

    We have a right to trial by jury not by press. If you want to substitute the trial process for one by press then kiss all your freedoms goodbye because the people are fickle and they will change there minds on a whim.

    BTW for a public figure you may be able to dig up dirt, but for Joe Shmoe that met anyone on the street and made that comment. According to the law you have no damages. Slander requires a loss of something that you cannot get back, earning potential, loss of clients, etc. If you are a young girl in this case 14, your earning potential is not such that a comment like that would adversely affect you, nor should you have clients.

    Some one could bring a suit and it would get dismissed as being baseless. Then the other party would counter sue for something and around we go.

    Again respectfully.
