Liberty Counsel: The Associated Press Has Put Our Lives In Danger And Defamed Us By Reporting That We Are A Lying Hate Group

The Liberty Counsel has written a furious letter to the legal team at the Associated Press, accusing them of defamation for correctly reporting that the Liberty Counsel is a lying hate group. According to Mat Staver, the AP’s report has put his life in danger. Nutjob Austin Ruse, who himself has called for executing liberal college professors, writes at Breitbart:

In a blistering letter, signed by Liberty Counsel president Mathew Staver and delivered on Monday to Brian Barrett, AP’s Assistant General Counsel, the group charges an October 4 story is “defamatory and presents Liberty Counsel and me in a false light. The words and the way the article is written as a whole present a clear and unmistakable message to a reasonable person — Mat Staver and Liberty Counsel are liars and haters, and the organization is a ‘hate group.’ These assertions are very damaging and place lives in danger.”

Staver’s letter charges that Galofaro knew of the dangers he and Davis were in but published the SPLC charges anyway. He says Galofaro “…knew that Kim Davis had received death threats. She knew that people threatened to kill her and her husband and burn down their house after raping her. She knew that people had threatened to kill her and her staff at the Clerk’s office. She knew that I had received death threats and that our staff hat Liberty Counsel received death threats.”

The Liberty Counsel is demanding that Associated Press delete their story and remove it from their cache. Oh, my sides!
