Actually, when it's in print, it's libel. When it's spoken, it's slander. Also, to sue for either you have to prove damages, that means loss of money or property. Bannon is a White Supremacist. Did I just cost him money or property? Did I just damage his "brand"? Nope. That's not how it works. I hate having to remind these people that none of this is how it actually works.

Can I sue you for damaging my eyeballs with his ugliness?

Can we say "he dies alone and unloved, of natural causes, many years from now, after being in a coma starting in 2017?" Please Doc?

Exactly. Satan has standards. He also has some quality sinners and bastards in the infernal regions. He knows they wouldn't stand for Jim Hoft being there with them."Yet close we lie, and deep we lie, and if I gave him place, My gentlemen that are so proud would flout me to my face; They'd call my house a common stews and me a careless host, And -- I would not anger my gentlemen for the sake of a shiftless ghost." -- Kipling

Denial that white supremacy even exists is now a thing among the alt-right. I used the phrase in a post yesterday and some Butt-bart regular jumped in to say there is no such thing. I wish I could train my dog as well as the alt-right trains its followers.

How can Bannon be racist when Milo is as gay as Christmas?*
