Audacity of Truth
Whiner-in-Chief:
"[W]hether the grumbling is about Republicans on Fox or bloggers in pajamas, there's a word for what the president and his aides are doing. That word is "whining." And nothing [...] does more damage to Obama's credibility or authority than the sense that a popular president is becoming the whiner-in-chief."

Rev. Jackson offers scholarship to accuser in alleged Duke lacrosse rape case
… no matter if the report is true or not. Via the AP (emphasis added):
DURHAM – The Rev. Jesse Jackson said Saturday his Rainbow/Push Coalition will pay the college tuition of a woman who told police she was raped by members of Duke University’s men’s lacrosse team while working as a stripper — no matter the outcome of the case.
“I can’t wait … to talk with her and have prayer with her, because our organization is committed, when she’s physically and emotionally able … to provide for her the scholarship money to finish school so she will never … again have to stoop that low to survive,” he said from Chicago in a telephone interview with The Associated Press.
When asked, the civil rights leader also said his group will pay for the woman’s tuition even if her report proves false.
In other words, it’s the appearance of being a black victim that matters most to Jackson. Whether the person actually is a victim means very little. Same ol’ same ol’.
Usually, where you find Jackson you’ll find Al Sharpton, but so far Sharpton – infamous for his role in the Tawana Brawley rape hoax – has been a no show, despite reports that he was supposed to be in Durham last week. Let’s hope he stays away.

And if this turns out to be false, which really seems like it will, what of the victims of her false accusations?
What of their humiliation?
What of their shame of being put through this?
What of their scars and marks that will forever haunt and affect their lives?
What of the school’s reputation?
While many were ready to convict and throw away the key, it looks like this will turn out to be a false report.
If so, I do hope she is charged with making a false police report, and expelled from her school.
I do not think that is too harsh, because of all the problems she has caused if this turns out to be a false charge.
I wonder, would he be so generous, if the girl was white and the team was black?
No, of course he would, I mean to think there would be a double standard in how he would treat someone like this, that would be reverse racism, would it not?
- I was listening to an update on the case this afternoon on FOX, and the interviewer was talking to one of the atty’s involved in the case in some manner. One of the questions she asked her was “Is the accuser African American”?. To which she responded “I’m not at liberty to divulge that information”.
- Now either the court has cautioned both sides against inflamming racial passions in the area, or something else is not as it seems. This case just keeps getting more and more bizarre.
- BTW, speaking of Sharpton, hes worked hard the last year softening his rhetoric and moving more to the center as evidenced by his “lowball” appearences on O’Rielly etc. Hes probably gotten the inside scoop already that theres something fishy about this whole affair and is distencing himself. Jackson, on the other hand, never misses an opportunity for “face” time with the press, since like the other antiquated civil rights orgs, if they fall off the radar they’ll just disband that much sooner. You saw that heavyhanded press-push with the latest McKinney dustup. Will be interesting to find out the details of this case, and the resolution with the Grand jury on McKinney.
- Fitzy is painted into a smaller and smaller corner too, so the next few weeks should be interesting.
- Bang
I do want to see if charges are brought today as rumored to be happening…I just don’t think you will get a conviction without DNA..47 DNA and 0 matches!
I for one would rather have this lady getting her tuition paid,then having to strip in a frat house to pay her bills. This is how we can reduce violence in our society. Peace
Steve(FN), you posted a semi-lucid thought for a change. Unfortunately, as more and more details emerge, it seems this is another false accusation. A lower case Tawana Brawley.
Isn’t this the same guy that was using foundation money to keep his mistress??? Ohhh yeah I bet he wants a stripper in the stable so to speak. I have to question the motives of Jesse in this situation. Of course I pretty much question his motives all the time these days. – Lorica
Let me dissent from what may be the prevailing opinion here and say: You go, Jesse! Let the Revrunt and the others on the Far Left pour their dollars into scholarships for strippers, Hollyweird movies like The da Vinci Code and Fahrenheit 911, and any other goofball project designed to separate a fool from his/her money.
The entire Capitalist system is set up to seperate all the fools from their money,Daudi. Hopefully, you didn’t donate to the bush for President campaign. Peace
Well at least if Mwalimu Daudi did donate money to President Bush, both halves of your brain can rest assured that it was his own money earned from a thing called a job and not another socialist federal handout.
steve(FN), but isn’t your gripe that this system doesn’t then pass the separated money for keyboard commandos like you?
Oh, long as I’m skewering your daily crappolas, Bush only made a little over $700K last year. $400K was his salary for being President. How do reconcile Bush only making a little over $300K for all the graft, selling US ports, involvement in the Carlyle group, and every other source of profit the left hates?
And Cheney gave over 3/4ths of his income to charity. I can’t remember the dollar amounts.
That’s infinity times more than the “caring” Kerry did. The left can only talk about things they don’t know (speculation) to make them feel good about themselves.
I agree with Mwalimu.
It’ll cut down on his ability to spend anti-conservatives messages. Maybe he’ll shake down another corporation for more money…
Actually, steve, the Bush Administration sends me money. All card-carrying dues-paying members of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy get $50,000/yr (tax free of course) for a full membership, $20,000/yr for an accociate membership, and $5,000/yr for any dependents that I have.
I also get a pension for being a 2nd Lt. (retired) in the Chickenhawk Officer Corps Organization (COCO). That comes to a pretty penny, steve! All you leftists get is a pair of kneepads from the Nina Burleigh Fashion Line of PC Styles so that William Jefferson Clinton can, ahem, feel your pain.
That’s “associate” membership, of course! #@%&$! spellling!
Anyway, steve, now you know. Wanna sign up?
Religious anarchists get their money the old fashioned way, they earn it as carpenters or fishers of men. Peace
Rats! Now I’ll never get my free T-shirt!
In order to be a fisher of men, what kinda bait do ya use in the swamps where you reside?
Bait? He just unzips and trolls…..
Steve(fn) uses a fishing pole with an ear of corn out the back of a truck through trailer parks trolling for hogs.
steve(FN) is not a fisher of men, but a would be Caesar, if steve(FN) had a backbone and cajones to face the retribution for his policies.
steve(FN) forgets that by surrendering to Islam he is earning the wages of sin.
severian, you seem to have a crotch fixation. The rest of you should research Nero. Peace
What would a rape expert say?
How many times have groups of 47 or even 3 men who enjoy forcible rape committed gang rape in the past? (the Central Park Jogger gang rape false convictions was overturned by DNA). Name all the gang rape cases in the USA (3 or more men) that you can.
(If you think men are packs of rapists, you took too many feminist courses.)
How many of the men who enjoy forcible rape and get off on the power like their victims drugged unconscious so they can’t experience the rape?
Alternative Theories:
The victim was so drugged/drunk that she does not know what happened.
The victim was so drugged/drunk that she was not capable of giving consent and the men may not have realized this, being drunk/drugged or just young and naive (she likes me).
The victim blurted out “rape” when wasted and mad over a bad night and is stuck with her story.
The victim has psychological problems and not a good grip on reality.
Next time Jackson shows up to scheme some ‘face time’ with the press, somebody should ask him on the air if his mistress Karen Stanford is still on his payroll. Last I heard, she was pulling down $120,000 a year as a ‘ghost employee’ at one of his bogus non-profits and taking him to court to double child support for their love child.
Your generalizations and name calling is what starts the mess Steve.
Instead of name calling you should try not doing so.
Look at your 1:38 PM post and tell us all if you could’ve done better or not…. Quite the generalization so I’m thinking you know you could’ve done better. If you don’t know you could’ve done better then you have no hope. Your hate will continue unabated.
Ok, how does this make it all right! Wrong, we dont even know this chicks name. The sperm found isn’t theirs! HMMMMMM. Sure it wasnt your pimp or your baby’s dad! I feel bad for those men if their innocent. It isnt fair if their is no proof, how clear will the photos be. If it can’t show them screwing her forcibly…there is no proof. Guess what REAL STRIPPERS HAVE REAL BODYGUARDS!
I wish Jesse would give my black behind money for grad school. Oh, wait, I can think for myself, I don’t think he’d like me!
I for one would rather have this lady getting her tuition paid,then having to strip in a frat house to pay her bills. This is how we can reduce violence in our society. Peace — posted by steve
What does “getting her tuition paid” mean, exactly? You mean SOMEBODY ELSE ought to pay her tuition?
Are you prepared to write her a check?
Or should she turn to The Great Big Gummint Teat?
Colin Finnerty the Duke student accused of raping the young african american woman is also a defendent in a gay bashing case in Washington DC. Finnerty apparently beat a man he believed to be gay.
I used to be one of Jesse “The Joke” Jacksons greatest supporters back in the day until I read the book SHAKEDOWN by Timmerman. I now think he is the most disgusting excuses for a human on this earth. To be aware that he has used the Civil Rights cause for his own benefit and line his pockets with money he extorted on behalf of the black people just leaves me with feelings of disgust and anger for that person. He lives in a $1.5 million house in Chicago, his kids never went to a public school. He black balled a couple of female journalists for publicizing some of his shennanigans and then got them fired. His squeeze did Anhauseer Busch out of a distributorship in Chicago for his two sons and was paying his mistress Karen Stanford (pull it up on Solargeneral.com) to work as a ghost employee of his non-profit CEF to keep her mouth shut about their love child. Government inquisitors into his use of the non-profit funds first found on public record that he was paying her $24,000, then further inquiry discovered it was more like $36,000; recently, the mistress took him to court to increase the personal care and child support to $120,000 annualy. I really used to favor the bum until I discovered he was using “the black cause” to line his own pockets. Read the book, it’s a real eye opener.
Je$$ie Jack$son introduced Lawyers to parents of stripper
A man stands in the shadows of the Duke Lacrosse ‘rape’ case…watching and waiting. While the three wealthy, white male students remains in criminal court, he is not likely to step forward.
Even at this early stage, the stripper’s mother is “very much interested” in “getting Willie E. Gary is a litigator renowned for winning huge settlements.
The stripper’s parents met with Gary in April. The meeting was facilitated by civil rights activist Rev. Jesse Jackson.
Gary acts as a family adviser, and the parents are laying groundwork to make a civil bid. Public opinion can be a large bargaining chip in obtaining a lucrative settlement. Earlier, the parents spoke freely; now they’re being more media savvy.
Essence Magazine featured three articles by Kristal Brent Zook. Each is sympathetic to the accuser. (1st) “Family Defends Daughter’s Painful Past”, (2nd) “Nowhere to Turn,” depicts the accuser as living in terror. (3rd) is basically an announcement of Willie Gary’s appearance in the case; it concludes by stating that the parents “worry that their daughter may…need additional legal guidance.”
Civil law deals in torts or harms inflicted by one person upon another; its purposes are compensation for actual or perceived damages.
A “guilty” verdict in criminal court can be used to establish liability in a civil one but if the verdict is “not guilty” or the charges are dropped, a civil case can proceed independently.
Kobe Bryant settled out-of-court settlement. Such settlements are not necessarily admissions of guilt. After months of media blitz, Bryant may have been embarrassed to settle, so civil suits could be lucrative even if the “accuser’s” claim is completely fabricated. The Duke students will face the same choice?
Civil suits can be lucrative, and they’re easier to win; standards of evidence and other legal protections enjoyed by a defendant are significantly lowered in civil court.
Clearly, her parents wish to explore a civil proceeding. Gary is conspicuously available.
“Comment by me again @ 5/18/2006 – 12:36 pm”
Thanks for the take on what could follow. For one thing, Jesse can smell money a mile away and there has been nothing on record to verify that he has ever done anything not personally beneficial. You can bet that if Willie gets his, Jesse will get some, too. After I read SHAKEDOWN, a book by Timmerman, Jesse took ambulance chasing to a whole new level.
Thanks again for the legal stuff; I went to law school once but it was so darned long ago…. and then after I sat on my clay tablets and broke them, tried to rely on memory, but that didn’t work. Oh, well.
