That's the important part? OK if you say so. "...who communicates a defamatory statement* does so knowing that the statement is false or very likely false."* So when you characterized comments about Palin on this thread to be SMEARS, what did you mean? You might find a dictionary important even if you don't like to use it. Smear: to sully, vilify, or soil (a reputation, good name, etc.). Or a Thesaurus. Main Entry: smear Part of Speech: verb Definition: tarnish a reputation Synonyms: asperse, bad-mouth, befoul, besmirch, blacken, blackguard, blister, calumniate, defame, defile, denigrate, discolor, drag through mud, give a black eye, hit, libel, malign, pan, poor-mouth, rap, rip up, scorch, slam*, slander, sling mud, slur, sully, taint, traduce, vilify Words have meanings sir and they are worthy of consideration.
