Well the Justice Brothers (or more aptly named the Poverty Pimps) Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson along with the Left-wing media of MSNBC, CNN, NBC et.al. were able to get Rush Limbaugh booted from his part of the bid to buy the St Louis Rams.
Ah but the Justice Brothers are without sin…
The Truth About Jackson, Sharpton and CNN’s Sanchez (with Sources)
Here is what I have been thinking… Rush may not be able to sue for slander as he he is a public figure, even though the quotes being attributed to him all false and un-sourced and proven fabricated so while I’m not a lawyer I do not think he can sue for that… BUT there is this thing called “tortious interference with a business transaction or contract.” Well what’s that you may ask…
In short it’s “generally, business torts are claims for either intentional or negligent wrongdoing in a business relationship. These claims can either be based on statutes or common law. One such tort is known as interference with contract or interference with prospective economic advantage. Though the elements of this tort vary from state to state, generally, a plaintiff must establish the existence of a contract or some economic relationship between the plaintiff and a third party; that the defendant knows about that relationship; intent by the defendant to disrupt or harm that relationship; actual disruption of the relationship; and damage to the plaintiff. Other business torts include unfair competition and conversion.”
So according to Find Law…
A claim of tortious interference with contract requires (1) the existence of a contract, (2) the alleged wrongdoer’s knowledge of the contract, (3) intentional procurement of the contract’s breach, (4) without justification, and (5) damages resulting from the breach. Kjesbo v. Ricks, 517 N.W.2d 585, 588 (Minn. 1994).
So…
(1) Rush was involved in a contract with a group of buyer to bid on the St Louis Rams.
(2) This agreement was noted by those in congress, Shelia Jackson Lee those in the media, CNN, MSNBC, NBC and others and acknowledge by the Poverty Pimps Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.
(3) I think that’s obvious.
(4) what was their justification on? Race?
(5) Rush was dropped by the bidding group. (Note: Wisely Rush told them they would have to kick him out instead of him withdrawing.
So while there wasn’t a contract to buy the Ram’s there had to be a contract to bid on the Ram’s as you are talking about millions and millions of dollars and I seriously doubt that was set up on a verbal agreement and a handshake and therefore it would meet the interference of a contract.
As I said… I’m not a lawyer… but a lot of the lawyers I know aren’t either.
So what can Rush do? Sue the hell out of them and likely win as everything that was done against him is on tape and broadcast over the public airways. And I would like nothing better than to see Sharpton and Jackson brought down as these two race hustlers do nothing to help society and in fact hurt society. Wouldn’t be real sad to see Olbermann, Matthews and Jackson-Lee shut up either… sick of these idiots.

Wrote a little blurb about this on my own blog today. Didn’t see your post until after I googled the topic. As an attorney, I think you are right on the money. The tortious interference, here, would likely be DeMaurice Smith’s very public e-mail to Goodell citing racist quotes misattributed to Limbaugh.
