Media Matters sued

(From the diaries, because it's always fun to see the degenerates that the Illinois Republican Party dredges up -- kos)

I thought these people were against stupid lawsuits like this.

A controversial journalist and Republican activist has sued the left-wing Media Matters for America and its founder, David Brock, for slander and invasion of privacy, claiming the nonprofit is a, “hate machine organized and orchestrated to smear conservatives and Republicans who dare to speak out against the liberal orthodoxy and manipulation in the nation’s media.”

Anthony “Andy” Martin served Brock with the lawsuit on Thursday after Media Matters wrote a piece calling Martin an “anti-Semite.” In a letter dated March 30, 2007, Martin demanded a retraction and an apology with a notice that he would sue Brock and Media Matters for defamation/libel if the group did not comply.

Sadly we knew this was only a matter of time.

This part really takes the cake.

"David Brock has invented a new form of political organization: a tax exempt group that is subsidized by taxpayers while Brock gets to spew his hate/smears," Martin charges. "The sympathetic left-wing national media love it.

"Brock attacked Don Imus. He has attacked Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly. And he as also smeared me. I am in good company with national media personalities.

"I have sued Brock and MMFA. He can defend his defamatory accusations in DuPage County, Illinois Circuit Court.

"I can't prove it yet, but I believe there are links between Brock's tax exempt hate/smear group and Barack Obama's campaign," Martin will state.

So there you have it Media Matters is being sued.

Hum is this the same Andy Martin that is after Media Matters?

Free Obama's White Grandmother -Andy Martin

Looks like this Andy person is runnig for Senator against Dick Durbin in 2008

Andy Martin is the Republican Party’s only Iraq expert with the credibility and independence to take on incumbent Dick Durbin and attack Democratic Party duplicity on the Iraq fiasco. Iraq is going to dominate the 2008 campaign; Andy’s experience and analysis will dominate that debate—and dominate Dick Durbin.

Now this is just to funny come on now admit you all are loving this.

Yet the Illinois Supreme Court denied him a law license, saying he lacked the fitness to be an attorney. Federal courts have repeatedly sanctioned him for what judges have said is his filing of hundreds of largely meritless legal actions. He's had several stints in jail.

He has repeatedly refused to answer questions from the Tribune and has in the past unsuccessfully sued the newspaper for libel. On Thursday, during a telephone news conference, he threatened to sue the Tribune over a recent poll on candidates for governor that showed he had support from fewer than 1 percent of likely Republican voters.

Then there is this

In a 1983 personal bankruptcy case, he referred to a federal bankruptcy judge as a "crooked, slimy Jew, who has a history of lying and thieving common to members of his race."

In 1973, the Illinois Supreme Court refused to allow Martin admission to the bar. The court's decision noted that Martin, a University of Illinois law school graduate who was previously known by the name Anthony R. Martin-Trigona, had a Selective Service record that showed he had a "moderately-severe character defect manifested by well documented ideation with a paranoid flavor and a grandiose character."

Something tells me I might be sued I'm scared.

A decade later, the federal court system began issuing sanctions against Martin for his filing of what one federal judge, Edward Weinfeld of New York, termed as "a substantial number of lawsuits of a vexatious, frivolous and scandalous nature." The courts eventually required him to obtain prior approval to file any legal action at any federal court. The restrictions require that judges, who are not identified to Martin, decide whether the filings have merit and should proceed.
