ANTI-GAY Preacher's Lawyer: 'Rachel Maddow's Career Is OVER ' (AUDIO)

" Rachel Maddow's career is over. At least that's what Larry Klayman -- the lawyer for controversial preacher Bradlee Dean, and founder of Freedom Watch -- said will come of a lawsuit filed against Maddow and MSNBC.


Bradlee Dean, a conservative preacher who is known for his incendiary, anti-homosexual rehetoric, and his ministry are seeking damages in excess of $50 million from Maddow and MSNBC for slander and false light.


After announcing the lawsuit Wednesday in New York, Dean and Klayman spoke by phone to the Michele Tafoya Show show on CBS radio.



Maddow, the lawsuit says, took those comments and ran with them, claiming that Dean was essentially advocating killing homosexuals. Dean has issued a statement declaring his firm opposition to violence toward gays. And since Dean has been linked to Rep. Michele Bachmann -- the two have appeared at fundraisers together -- Klayman claims MSNBC and Maddow are trying to sabotage Bachmann's presidential campaign, by way of Dean.



Maddow's remarks have harmed both Dean's reputation and finances, Klayman said. "You can't just say whatever you want," he said. "This is going to cost MSNBC hundreds of millions of dollars and will probably end the career of Rachel Maddow."

1. You can tell the truth, however. Silly man.

[rurallib]

3. about 15 years ago, FUX won a lawsuit that said telling the truth

meant nothing. Somehow I wouldn't put it past our judicial system to find that telling the truth was wrong.

4. Couple that with a tea-bagger judge.

[The Magistrate]

7. Very Different Case, Sir

Basically, someone sued a Fox outlet claiming they had published a lie, and the judge said,'so what, that's freedom of speech'....

This lawsuit will not survive prelimnary hearings; it is ludicrous on its face.

[Warpy]

2. I guess the lawyer was also too busy having his own hissy fit

to listen to the whole thing. Maddow read the little prick's disclaimer at the end of his rant.

You can't sue someone for telling the whole truth and expect to win anything but a stern lecture from a judge and paying the target's court costs.

5. Dean reminds me of Charlie Manson in a way.

Maybe it's because he's batshit crazy and dangerous.

[marmar]

6. Legend in his own warped mind.

8. Yeah, because Klayman is such a brilliant lawyer ...

Hundreds of millions of dollars? Really, Larry? Where did you go to law school ... Falwell U?

I don't think so. I don't think your complaint survives a simple motion to dismiss.
