The Denver Post has been sued for the first time by one of the Righthaven copyright lawsuit defendants.

Attorneys for Dana Eiser, a blogger in Summerville, S.C., and her Tea Party movement group Lowcountry 9/12 sued the Post, its owner MediaNews Group Inc., Righthaven and others Monday in the Court of Common Pleas, a state court in South Carolina. Among other things, the lawsuit alleges barratry, or the improper incitement and prosecution of lawsuits, and unfair trade practices on the part of MediaNews Group and Righthaven.

-----

Monday’s new lawsuit claims that after the Post actively encouraged users of its website to share its stories and other material, an agent of Eiser’s nonprofit group did just that and posted the column on the Lowcountry 9/12 blog.

But unknown to the agent, the Post had inserted a "Trojan horse" piece of computer code in the downloaded column, the lawsuit charges.

5. Yep...teabaggers are naive, severely delude and/or grossly misinformed, but Righthaven is pure evil

6. This is the question of who the greater evil is.

I am gonna get flamed for this, and I hate this group I'm rooting for. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. And it is RightHaven. :(

7. uhhhhmmm,,,is righthaven your enemy or friend?

[The Nexus]

9. I feel IMO, is the Tea Party is the greater evil.

At least Righthaven hides behind lawyers and use the legal system, despite loonacy of their reasons. The Tea Party however, they carry guns to rallys and are proven violent. As I said the enemy of my enemy is my friend so Righthaven at this juncture and case only, is my friend. I don't like to admit it but the tea party must be broken.

10. Righthaven is also the enemy of DU

So are they still your friend? Righthaven are thieves. I find thieves with guns more honest than Righthaven.
