Curtis Sliwa vs.The Muslims' Lawsuit. He won :D

While driving home from work the other night I was listening to talk show host Curtis Sliwa talk about the time muslims connected to the ones responsible for the first world trade center bombing sued him for five million dollars for blasting them on his radio show after the first World Trade Center bombing. His rant was so inspiring and fascinating that I wanted to share it here in my blog to show what you can do if you stand firm in your beliefs when all things turn against you. I'm including his website below so you can see him broadcast live from 10 pm to 1 am e.s.t. I've seen and heard him live at Sean Hannity's freedom concerts and even photographed him there broadcasting with Sean.

For those of you not familiar with Curtis, he is the head honcho of a crime fighting group in New York City called The Guardian Angels that he started some 30 odd years ago and has since expanded to major cities across the country and the world. They patrol the streets and arrest people and fight crime. No weapons except their exceptional karate skills. They wear red berets and red sateen jackets. Curtis has also been shot up by John Gotti Jrs. people and narrowly escaped death so he's had quite a life.

The other night he was talking how he was warning people that the terrorists of the first world trade center bombing who are now in jail such as Ramsi Yuseff and the blind sheik were all out of the same mosque and these mosques preach jihad in this country. Well this went on for several weeks. After 9/11 Curtis said a see I told you so and blamed the mosque and other mosques who preach hate. The day after the Iraq war he was hit with a five million dollar lawsuit by CAIR for slander and defamation of character. Needless to say he was scared out of his pants. He went to the "suits" his bosses at the Disney owned studio where his show originates from and they were enraged. Instead of sticking up for him they told him that he better not say anything else bad about muslims and they wouldn't back him. He said he had to listen to that constantly on a daily basis and be berated by them. He went to lawyer after lawyer and played them the tapes of his show and none would suppor thim. All they said was that he better offer some kind of payment as these people have a lot of money to spare and will tear you down even if it takes years, but undaunted he pursued on.

Curtis then decided to go to his old radio sidekick, liberal ACLU lawyer Ron Kuby. Even Ron said. "Curtis, you haven't a chance against these people. You better pay them some coin." Curtis was furious and worried. He could never make that much money in his lifetime he was saying so he decided to contact a lawyer who had done some work for his Guardian Angels. This lawyer said, "Curtis, these people are very patient and are willing to take years and wear you down emotionally and financially,but I'm interested and will take the case non grata because it's you and I know what you are up against."

Curtis described how this lawyer spent every waking hour and far into the night reading all about muslims and law strategy. More than any lawyer he's ever seen. Finally after six years of court hearings and postponements the big trial came. Curtis said the coutroom was typically symbolic of New York: a racially mixed jury consisting of black, white, hispanic men and women, a jewish judge, a protestant lawyer, a catholic defendant ,(him) and a muslim prosecution. To hear him describe this scenario was quite amusing. He was literally sweating bullets. The cross examinations were tough and fair he said. The muslims were also asking for $280,000 in compensasory damages. Curtis went on to say how his lawyer was very relaxed, calm and sharp during the proceedings and excelllent in his cross examination of the muslims. Finally the jury was dismissed to render a verdict. Curtis said he could hear his heart beating. His lawyer showed him the sheet of questions the jury would have to consider to render a verdict. About ten minutes later the jury came back and rendered their verdict of "not guilty." Curtis was so relieved and thanked everyone for their support after six long years.

I'm enclosing his website here. You can click where it says Curtis cast and see his podcasts of his commentaries. You can click on the different cities at the top and see him comment on stories from those cities. He has such a funny way with words using a lot of street expressions I always get a kick out of. If you click on where it says live video stream from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. e.s.t. you can ,watch him broadcast live.
