2. Thinly veiled warning of impending slander suit

if hastert does not eat the foot he shoved in his hate - filled mouth.

PS - name in lower case intentionally.

3. Finally someone is standing up to these thugs

Someone with enough resources to fight them into bankruptcy to clear his own good name.

Soros is a hero for this. "Have you no shame", as another hero said.

5. Good example of a level playing field, huh?

I doubt Hastert will apologize. It's just in his character. I'd love to hear about a good law suit real soon!

6. How much you wanna bet Coach Cretin thought he was immune...

Due to being a Member of Congress?

Sorry, Denbo...that only applies to statememts made on the House floor.

Prepare for a summons, shithead. Get Adams Apple Annie to defend you...then you can both plead insanity.

7. Speak Softly

And carry a big stick.
Wonder if Hastert has any options.

8. I do hope he sues Hastert...

But does the fact that this was displayed publicly on the internet negate a potential lawsuit for Mr. Soros; i.e., by displaying the letter on the internet he is, in effect, helping to defame his good name by publicizing Hastert's vicious remarks. I wish he had kept the letter secret, between him & Hastert.

9. Oh sure. Keep it secret and let the public Hastert statement stand

uncontested.

Are you nuts?

13. I'm not a lawyer but...

I don't think your concern holds any water. Publicizing Hastert's slander doesn't diminish the slander.

10. Why doesn't Soros just have him whacked?

Like they did with Wellstone.

16. oublicizing the letter won't harm a future case--

is in fact a generous offer to accept a public apology IN LIEU of a lawsuit. That's how I read it.

14. Pistols at dawn, sirrah!

Hastert exemplifies the Dupage County crowd, crass, ignorant, vulgar, and liquored up. It's long past time someone called one of these guys out for their remarks.
