The Definition of Chutzpah

Remember USANext's smear job on AARP -- the internet-only ad that tried to marginalize the AARP out of the Social Security debate by suggesting that the group has something against American soldiers but loves gay marriage? Rick Raymen and Steve Hansen haven't forgotten. They're the Oregon couple shown kissing in the USANext ad. Today in Washington, they filed a $25 million lawsuit against USANext.

...

USANext President Charlie Jarvis apologized to the <Portland, Oregon> Tribune for using the photograph without permission -- and blamed the Montini firm for it. "We hired this company to buy commercial rights for anything we use on our Web site," Jarvis told the Tribune. "There will be beatings of a severe nature. In business terms that means fines and penalties. I’ll have to go back to the group and find out what’s going on."

Jarvis has offered no such apology or explanation to Raymen and Hansen. "They ought to be suing all the left-wing blogs for circulating this <ad>," Jarvis told the Washington Post last week. "That's who they ought to be asking for an apology."

1. Beyond chutzpah!!!!

They put it on the web, in the public domain, and then they get mad because people look at it and get irritated?

They are not just evil, they are stupid as well.

3. Classic right wing deflection

I don't call it chutzpa, I call it moral bankruptcy.
