In a scathing letter to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, Sheldon Adelson's lawyer accused the organization of "maliciously branding Mr. Adelson as a pimp" and demanded the DCCC either retract and apologize or be sued.
The three-page missive to DCCC press secretary Jesse Ferguson refers to a claim already rated "Pants on Fire" by PoitiFact because it is a claim made in a lawsuit against the Las Vegas Sands chairman, who is dominating the headlines this cycle with his SuperPAC donations. The letter demands the claim be scrubbed from the DCCC site as well as an apology -- "a prominent statement, in a form approved by Mr. Adelson, retracting and apologizing for your false claims."
I have posted it at right.
Waiting for response from DCCC.
Earth to Sheldon "Sue".
Also, save your money, Mitt won't win, in fact he will lose by a lot.
Oh Sheldor, get over it. Prostitution is accepted at Venetian and Palazzo too, just like every other casino on the strip. Known prostitutes are allowed in those casinos when under the company of VIPs and high-rollers. Security knows it, gaming staff knows it, and the executives know it. It is accepted because there is a market for it, and the rich patrons who like to bang strange in Vegas go where they won't catch any heat for it.
The same happens in China, and everyone in the industry knows it.
If he sues this could allow the DCCC to get access to video tapes at his property and they may find something else, Who knows
Law suits have a way of evolving into something else.
Criminal Mitt Romney should rot in the penitentiary and has no business touching the oval office even with a ten-foot pole. What most people do not know is that Shifty Mitt can easily be charged with tax fraud, medicare fraud, perjury, tax evasion, money laundering, among others that even his corporate asset protection shield can be pierced and thus will not be able to protect him personally. For him to sue me, he will lose more because 350 million people will back me up and I will come out smelling like a rose. And I have nothing to lose because to prove himself innocent, Shifty Mitt will have to come out of the closet and expose himself with his hidden billions wide open for the world to see. The truth is that Mormon bishop Mitt Romney is a slime of the worst kind. Shifty Mitt is actually a billionaire but his false modesty as bishop of a cult is offensive, repulsive, disgusting and repugnant. If elected, criminal Mitt Romney will have unbridled monopoly, absolute power, and total control as President of the USA, the sole power and most powerful nation on planet earth in a new world order! No power on earth can ever prosecute Shifty Mitt then since not only will he ensure himself to be permanent US President but also will be Lord and Master nationwide and worldwide! Nip him in the bud now before it is too late!

There it is...

Hey keystone6, what everyone in the industry knows is that his name is Sheldon...
As the Plaintiff in a high profile libel/defamation action (MILLER v. JONES), I can attest that the DCCC clearly committed libel per se in this instance. Their actions were indefensible.
Of course there is no prostitution in Vegas casinos or limos taking people out to Pahrump. What about the junkets and high roller rooms in Macao. Time to go on msnbc
Uh, Shelly? I say if the shoe fits, wear it, and wear it proud. Life is too short, especially at his age to be so litigious at the risk of exposing/incriminating himself if he is indeed what the DCCC say he is.

Prostitution happens in the WH. Just ask Clinton.
Adelson has forgotten about the trial of Peter Zenger on Aug 4, 1735 which was the cornerstone for Freedom of the Press, Freedom to Publish and to Speak.
"Extra Extra - Read all about it."
It's time that Sheldon Adelson learned to be an American instead of a surrogate for Israel and Macau. Lots of jobs in Macau, right Sheldon?
SHELDON SHOVELS SHEKELS to ELDER ROMNEY.
Comrade Adelson's Communist Chinese landlord partners and his Likudnik Israeli Mossad masters have decided ELDER ROMNEY will be the next President of their colony; THE U.S.A.. PRESIDENT ROMNEY will transfer American wealth and jobs to COMMUNIST CHINA and transfer American sovereignty to LIKUD ISRAEL. Comrade/Sheky Adelson will grease the skids of America's demise by SHOWERING SHEKELS on ELDER ROMNEY.
Yours in Christ/Mao/Uncle Bibi/Comrade Adelson,

SunJon, apparently you forgot to read Gertz v. Robert Welch, Inc. (1974)
Zenger only applies if the DCCC can prove their statement to be true. Otherwise Gertz applies towards a finding of defamation.
And contrary to casinokid's dream of "access to video tapes", case law requires that the DCCC support the truthfulness of their statement with evidence already in their possession.
marhunt and white trash do not comment on the article but go off on some other tangent.
mred: prostitution is LEGAL in pahrump...duh!
I hope Adelson sues thier butts off. Time to put a stop to the slander and lies these organizations tell.
Oh the DCCC doesn't have the cash to fight either so if Sheldon pursues this they will apologize and that will be hysterical.
The claims being made started in a lawsuit brought by a fired high-level LV Sands Macau insider Steve Jacobs.

Prostitution at the Las Vegas Sands' Macau subsidiary casinos made headlines in December 2010 when police rounded up more than 100 suspected prostitutes at the company's flagship Venetian Macao casino-resort while Mr. Adelson was in Macau.
I guess if you are from "someplace else" this whole issue makes you gasp. But seriously, who is buying this line Adelson didn't know?
Poor Sheldon just trying to provide good family entertainment. A Carnival of joys and this nasty business spoils it.
