SiriusXM's Dean Obeidallah Sues Neo-Nazi Website For Defamation

Obeidallah

SIRIUSXM talk host and comedian DEAN OBEIDALLAH is suing neo-Nazi website the DAILY STORMER publisher ANDREW ANGLIN for defamation.  The LOS ANGELES TIMES reports that the suit alleges that on JUNE 1st, the DAILY STORMER published faked Twitter posts in OBEIDALLAH's name to make it seem like he was the mastermind of the MAY 22nd MANCHESTER bombing at an ARIANA GRANDE concert.

The DAILY STORMER, which publishes anti-Semitic and racist material and takes its name from the Nazi paper Der Stürmer, was dropped by domain name registrars GOOGLE and GO DADDY this week after posting an article mocking HEATHER HEYER, the woman killed in CHARLOTTESVILLE on SATURDAY. The website briefly returned from a Russian host and domain TODAY (8/16) but went unavailable later in the day.
