Why we need tort reform

I thought that the right wing didn't believe in frivolous lawsuits.

Filmmaker sues Kerry, campaign aide over Vietnam documentary - Boston.com: "Sherwood's suit alleges that Kerry directed the DNC to issue a statement that falsely said the film was produced and funded by 'extreme right-wing activists.'

The film was funded only by Vietnam veterans from Pennsylvania, according to Sherwood, a Harrisburg resident who served in Vietnam. He and a combat veterans group called the Vietnam Veterans Legacy Foundation filed the federal suit in Philadelphia on Monday.

The suit charges that Anthony Podesta, who ran Kerry's campaign in Pennsylvania, called Sherwood 'a disgraced journalist' and 'Bush hack' in a widely circulated e-mail."

And their point?

Whatever.
