The site, called glennbeckrapedandmurderedayounggirlin1990.com, toes the line on defamation—and may have stepped across it.

A sterling example of the hypocrisy of the left. To them, dissent is patriotic if they aren’t getting their way. Those who booed and jeered at Bush were viewed as heroes. They protested the war, our troops, and even our flag. And now it is their turn at the reigns, and they attempt to quell [...]
