Hello? Lawyers Of The Right? Bueller? Bueller?

Before we get to this segment of America’s Third Watch, I want to ask a question. Why do the litigators of the Right never – ever – take a play out of the Left’s playbook? It’s confounding that the Right side of the political/ideological aisle is so delinquent in even taking the most minute steps to throw wrenches into the Marxist Left’s machine.
Case in point, and this comes courtesy of Sky News Australia host Rita Panahi – who I find brilliant and honest. Included in the latest edition of her segment Lefty’s Losing It, Panahi features a few moments that focus on the fact that 34 percent of the registered Democrat voters believe – believe – that the assassination attempt on Donald Trump was manufactured and staged by the Trump campaign for the purpose of political opportunism. The segment, linked here at UndergroundUSA.com, is absolutely worth the listen.
In that section, Panahi features a social media post by the racist hate-monger Joy Reid of MSNBC, in which she declares that she believes there are too many things wrong with the facts surrounding the assassination attempt to believe it wasn’t manufactured and staged. Give this a listen:
Astoundingly hateful.
Now, I’m not a fan of Alex Jones. I have nothing against him personally, but I don’t consume his product. That said, his entire enterprise, along with his ability to bring his product to market, was obliterated by a court decision that adjudicated he committed defamation against the parents of the Sandy Hook shooting victims for saying this, as provided during his deposition:
Regardless of what you think about Jones, his show, or his take on Sandy Hook, isn’t what he said almost milquetoast compared to what Reid said about the assassination attempt against Donald Trump?
Seriously, how is what Reid said not worse than what Jones said?
And more importantly, since this is a status quo modus operandi for Reid, why hasn’t the litigation sector of the political Right used the legal precedent established in the ruling against Jones to go after Reid and MSNBC for defamation? Both Reid and Jones – as well as Trump and the Sandy Hook parents – exist in the public square. Why haven’t there been any lawsuits against Reid and MSNBC, seeing how there is precedent for a case against them in the Sandy Hook ruling?
Is it laziness? Is it a lack of foresight? Is it that litigators on the Right are too unwilling to engage in pro bono work that would actually benefit the country instead of their wallets? Honestly, I’m confounded as to what the answer is for the lack of initiative, the lack of want to fight fire with fire that exists on the Right.
And I’m not saying to censor or cancel Reid. I am saying she shouldn’t continue to be afforded a billion-dollar, megaphone corporate outlet for her conspiracy theories and abstract hatred toward over half the nation. It would be exactly like giving David Duke a primetime opinion show. No one should tolerate it, regardless of your political leanings.
With the advent of social media, no one is disenfranchised from espousing their opinions in the public square. In fact, social media is more accurate when it comes to gleaning a pundit’s level of support because that support is organically and directly calculated. So, just like David Duke – who doesn’t have an MSNBC show, Joy Reid, Rachel Maddow, and the propagandists at Morning Joe – all employees of Comcast’s MSNBC, by the way, would all have an opportunity for their voices to be heard without the billion-dollar, megaphone corporate outlet. Then we could really gage exactly how much support they have.
Here is a chance to sideline one of the most heinously racist and divisive voices in American politics – using precedent established through the lawfare of the Left to silence someone they perceived as “right-wing” – and litigators on the Right won’t even step up to the plate to take a swing in a tee-ball game.
This lack of foresight and initiative is truly pathetic. But then, the deep pockets on the Right seldom support those who actually do the grunt work for the conservative movement. Go figure…
One has to wonder if they really want to get back to constitutionalism.
Then, our segment on America’s Third Watch, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL AM860 & FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.
