Daniel Parisi, a political blogger, filed a defamation suit against Jeffrey Rense, a radio talk show host who had written a foreword for a twisted memoir by Larry Sinclair claiming President Barack Obama had engaged in gay sex, drug use and murder.
A federal district court ruled that Parisi had not made the case that Rense’s foreword had anything to do with the shutdown of his website Whitehouse.com since the book was published months after the site shut down. Parisi’s suit against Sinclair is still pending. -db
