      Can they be Rule 11'd for using Rule 11 when it's clearly not applicable?

        The couple doesn't have any standing to bring the suit especially over privacy. They lost control over the image when they allowed the paper to publish it. In this case the paper is the only one that could bring suit. The entire exercise is a waste of the courts time.

          Using someone's image without their permission as part of political propaganda is not illegal in the US?

          It sure as hell is in Canada, you need to give explicit permission for this -- even if the newspaper wants to publish your picture.

          Not only is there the issue of using your image without your permission, it associates you with their message and has obvious libel implications.

            The only part of this sordid affair (other than the idiotic content of the attack they launched on AARP) where they erred AFAIK is that they failed to get permission from the newspaper beforehand. I'm kind of shocked that the paper hasn't gone after them on that point.

                I do respect this couple in doing what it has to...

                But it isn't democratic to execute your oppponents. You don't like them? Then you just gotta deal with them.
                For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

                  Democracy is just the best and most fair way to choose leaders... it isn't the end all be all of politics, nor should it be. ****, if everything was democratic, nobody would pay taxes.

                  Personally, I'm getting sick and tired of Republican scum in this country. Instead of committing suicide, I'll probably just go on a shooting rampage at my local GOP headquarters.

                    I'm sick and tired of people like you, and people on the conservative side who are just like you (but opposite in beliefs)... who are violent individuals. Many republicans as myself are moderates.

                          That will just sharpen the borders and nothing more...

                          OTOH, what's wrong with the ad? Ofc kissing is always better than shooting! If all would kiss instead of shoot, the world would be a better place!

                          Hooray for the AARP agenda! Make love not war!

                            What "extremist" position do I hold on anything?

                            If anything, I'm militant... but not extreme.

                              Militant = Extreme.
