I remember a false rape accusation by a white woman against a white man, both young university students, at my own alma mater. It was my first year there. She prints a story in the school newspaper talking about how he “date raped” her. The young man was immediately kicked out of the university, the police were hounding him and his family, the local news made a HUGE deal out of it, but that’s not all. Women’s groups pasted a “WANTED:” flyer, with his picture on it, on virtually every telephone pole, every billboard, in at least a five-mile radius from the university.

Well, three weeks later, the white woman prints a retraction. Turns out that their entire meeting consisted of a 90-second “hi, how do you do, nice to meet you” encounter at a well-attended evening social function at the university. THAT’S IT. So, what were her reasons for printing the lie three weeks prior? I quote her: “to focus attention to the reality of date rape.”

Meanwhile, this poor dude’s life was ruined. The university only *grudingly* re-admitted him, the local news media got suddenly silent (as did the women’s groups), and furthermore, the women’s groups didn’t even bother to take down their “WANTED:” flyers that they’d posted all around the city. I don’t know if the young man ever sued her or the university, as I transferred elsewhere after that.

WHERE WERE YOU THEN, GLORIA STEINEM? ANITA HILL? HILLARY CLINTON? ELIZABETH DOLE? WHERE ARE YOU NOW FOR THESE DUKE UNIVERSITY LACROSSE PLAYERS?

These days, I don’t date Americans. I tend to date foreigners; they don’t seem to be so hostile to men.

Which apparently is much easier than having a brain and thinking the issue through. At least in her case.

You’ve got it right, sanity…American culture is being reduced to the celebration of mindlessness (exhibit A: the View) and preprogrammed reaction to certain stimuli (as in the Imus case).

As for Patty, she’s completely lost it, I’m afraid. If this woman was ‘violated’, why didn’t she file charges against the people whose DNA was found in her? It’s not like there would be any shortage of candidates.

No, the total lack of evidence and the constantly shifting stories lead me to believe she saw this as a quick payday: file charges, get the usual racial scam artists out to garner some publicity, and eventually get the accused to offer to buy her off just to make the whole thing go away. What she didn’t count on was (1) the case was so flimsy it didn’t stand up under even the most casual scrutiny, and (2) the defendants weren’t intimidated by the usual collection of liberal politicians, Marxist academics, and race-hustling charlatans.

Race is not really the issue here, but it’s here once again. The real issue is that a woman was violated. We’ll agree to disagree. It was a little more than just “circumstantial evidence.”

Your right Patty, there was little more than “circumstantial evidence” – there was nothing of these boys DNA on her at all.

You say race is not really the issue, then tell that to the race baiters Sharpton and Jackson.

Tell me this, woudl the uproar have been this much, would the media circus been this great, would Nifong done the same things, if it was a white girl claiming this against a group of black boys?

You say it has nothing to do with race, but how this was covered; how this grandstanded through the media; how this was escalated; speculated on; and essentially guilty until proven innocent….was all about race and class.

Even today, that is what people are saying:

“It’s interesting that it comes at the time of the Duke rape case. The boys are off because the girl lied and she didn’t- wasn’t raped. However, it’s interesting to me that a little white boy’s club was in effect in the Duke University situation too. You have a bunch of white boys sitting around with black girls, coming in and stripping. Alright, they didn’t rape them, but-”
- Behar from the View

If it isn’t about race, then why the emphasis on white boy and black girl?

Alright, they didn’t rape them, but-”

I was waiting for the …but they are still guilty..

See Behar can’t help make statements about race:

BEHAR: Old white guys sitting around making comments about women.

When talking about Imus also. Link

Hi my name is Behar and I am a hypocrite:
BEHAR: It doesn’t matter. It’s still a stripper. I don’t care about color. [crosstalk] Those are white boys. That’s a white boys club.

So even though they have been proven innocent, even their idiot guest can;t help but feel, just because they were falsely accused, they were probably bad boys and done stuff like this before:

Ah, but this is rich irony:

BEHAR: You know what’s great about this show? You can hold two thoughts that are antithetical at the same time.

McGOWAN: I actually hold both of those thoughts. It’s one or the other. I’ve argued with myself about it.

They can hold 2 thoughts and argue with themselves.

*rolls eyes*

This is what American Culture has been reduced to.

Just where in the hell do they find members of the surreal community like you Patty? Unfortunately we don’t have to turn over many rocks before people like you come crawling out like legions of maggots, with the exception that maggots actually have a useful function. Somewhere over the past few decades the ability, even the desire, to act like a reasonable, intelligent, properly serious and educated person has just evaporated. Maybe it’s the liberals running the schools, whatever, but idiocy, wishful thinking, and “feelings” have replaced decency, hard work, and a skeptical attitude. It’s truly as if the inmates are running the asylum. And people like Patty will continue to want to punish people for what they “think” they did. Nice, our republic is doomed.

Bye.

Ignorance is such a dangerous thing. Try thinking for yourself once in a while, Patty, you might like it.

We here see this time and time from leftists. They profess to know what is other people’s minds with statements about what others believe or think. Leftists SHOULD stick to FACTS so there can be a discussion about what facts really exist or there is no evidence of.

ALL of the Lacrosse players submitted their DNA and none of the semen on the lying woman came from ANY of the lacrosse players. Additionally, there was photographic evidence that exonerated the players and contradictory statements from herself and even from her friend that was with her.

This has ALL been discussed on conservative fact oriented websites versus leftist hyperbole oriented websites. I converted from leftism in 1991 for one big fat reason. The facts are 95% in line with conservative rhetoric. Conservatives aren’t perfect and don’t always state truth but you can almost always guess that the liberal perspective is not based in truth on almost every issue.

Patty wrote, “Great White Rat, their DNA was found on her and in the area that she said she was attacked.” Can you provide us ALL the link for that evidence? I’m thinking not. The evidence was found to exonerate them.

Patty really turned perspective upside down with this statement, “People in power wanted these boys free.”

The people in power put forth bogus charges even with lack of evidence. They cancelled the season. They ruined the boys lives. Etc. There was only ONE person in power who stood up publicly and that was the girls lacrosse coach. She went against conventional wisdom and decried the treatment these boys were receiving and how the school administration was acting. She was then vilified by members of the press for doing so.

I want you Patty to never have to endure false charges being leveled upon you. Like OJ for instance. All that he had to go through because of the people in power trying to get him. He was only successful in defending himself because he had money. His innocence finally came through and one day the real killers may be found.

You along with Sharpton and Jackson are a race hustler. Again, the facts of the case mean nothing as long as you have a podium to scream racism.

It is pretty sick and perverted for you, Jesse, Al, and the 88 professors to go off on a jihad against the team for something that DID NOT HAPPEN. Can you wrap your head around the fact that this dancer was a “ho” and psychotic?

These are two bright, articulate, outraged, and right people. Wow.
