David Yerushalmi Withdraws Libel Threat
I’ve blogged on Yerushalmi previously; his clients include Pamela Geller (who also likes to make legal threats while accusing Muslims of “lawfare”), and in 2008 he was involved with the absurd “Mapping Shariah” project. Yetman v. English refers to case in which an Arizona representative had accused a political opponent of being a “communist” over his approach to a rural zoning change; it’s odd to see Yerushalmi rely on such as a precedent, given that accusations of secret communism are a central strategy of so many of his activist allies.
