Hate Group Leader Owes Rachel Maddow $24,625.23

Minnesota hate group leader Bradlee Dean sued Rachel Maddow last year after Maddow quoted Dean verbatim seeming to express support for countries that execute gay people. Maddow successfully called for the silly complaint to be dismissed, and a judge agreed, ordering Dean to also cover Maddow’s legal fees. He requested a stay on that punishment, and yesterday it was denied. He now must pay Maddow $24,625.23 before November 13 or he could be held in contempt of court.

deploy to Iraq since he was so sure Obama was not an American citizen so could not be Commander in Chief. He was convicted in military court, is serving time, and lost his medical license and pension--all because he thought he could make a political statement through a court.

If they don't go with that angle, then they'll go with the standard

"Liberal bully extorts thousands from man simply exercising free speech."

Having to even waste ANY part of her beautiful mind on this foolishness.

What could Rachel have been thinking?

I wonder if she will say anything on air when she gets paid.
