Glenn beck raped and murdered a young girl in 1990 .com is Protected Speech, Says Arbitrator
Glenn Beck's lawyers have lost the effort to shut down the Web site glennbeckrapedandmurderedayounggirlin1990.com on grounds that it is protected speech, said World Intellectual Property Organization arbitration panelist Frederick Abbott.
Site creator Isaac Eiland-Hall argued that Beck's rhetorical techniques are being parodied. Marc Randazza, his lawyer, referenced Beck's interview with Muslim congressman Keith Ellison, asking for proof that he was "not working with our enemies."
Its origins lie with a Web meme from Fark.com on Aug. 31, when the question was posed by a user: "Why haven't we had an official response to the rumor that Glenn Beck raped and murdered a girl in 1990?" Eiland-Hall's site was set up the next day.
