Now that the "Duke Boys" have been cleared of all charges, the racial agitators have a chance to come to their senses. Yet, it seems as though Don Imus is reluctant to allow that to happen.
I have no intention of defending Imus's comment. It was worthy of his dismissal from MSNBC, and was long overdue. They were degrading to the Rutgers' basketball team in a very personal way. Wikipedia carries a revealing list of Imus's insults directed at women and minorities. It really makes you think about the job requirements that MSNBC demands. But then again, MSNBC doesn't generally hire the best and the brightest to fill up time and gobble up ratings. If Imus belongs anywhere, it would be on Sirius satellite radio, with his rival, Howard Stern.
Mike NiFong, the Durham Dirtbag, has represented the lowest form of our legal system by exploiting racial tensions in an election year with an investigation that was faulty from the beginning. Crystal Gail Mangum, the stripper and self-claimed "rape victim", will serve in reminding our society of Tawana Brawley, another "rape victim" that the Race Card Reverends rushed to judgement to defend.
"There have been public calls to the authors to retract the ad or apologize for it, as well as calls for action against them and attacks on their character. We reject all of these."
Collin Finnerty: "[K]nowing I had the truth on my side was really the most comforting thing at all throughout this last year."
David Evans: "I hope these allegations don't come to define me."Reade Seligmann: "[T]his entire experience has opened my eyes up to a tragic world of injustice I never knew existed."
As news broke about Nifong facing a possible lawsuit and facing trials of scrutiny, coincidentially, I was reading The First Oration Against Catiline by the great Roman orator, Marcus Tullius Cicero. The speech was in response to his murder plot, headed by Lucius Catiline.
"Shame on the age and on its principles! The Senate is aware of these things; the consul sees them; and yet this man lives. Lives! ay, he comes even into the Senate. He takes a part in the public deliberations; he is watching and marking down and checking off for slaughter every individual among us. And we, gallant men that we are, think that we are doing our duty to the republic if we keep out of the way of his frenzied attacks."
We face a similar age of injustice, with abuses of power and blind loyalty with our legal system, which has been led by the Durham Dirtbag and the Race Card Reverends for this past year. Nifong's prosecutorial abuses of power has alarmed the public over these character assassinations. Finally, the truth has unraveled, but the usual suspects are quick to flee the scene of the accident.
First, Sharpton charges Steven Pagones with raping Tawana Brawley. After his innocence was proven, he moves on without apology, accusing the police. In 2002, the Associated Press asked Sharpton, then a presidential candidate, if he would apologize to Pagones. Here's what the remorseless race-baiter had to say.
"Apologize for what? For believing a young lady? ... When people around the country know that I stood up for a young lady ... I think it will help me."
In 2003, the walking obscenity of a "presidential candidate" was at it again, in a state we call denial. When asked about the same case, Sharpton told the New York Daily News...
"[A] jury said in the Central Park jogging case … that I was wrong, and it was just overturned 13 years later. Juries can be wrong. I've stood by what I believe. Juries are proven wrong every day."
You have to wonder if Jesse Jackson has paid off Mangum's scholarship as promised, regardless of the outcome. Can you imagine him spreading his charity to a Jewish girl? I doubt it. Especially if she lived in "Hymietown."
But the Race Card Reverends have been avoiding involvement with the fictitious rape allegations against Duke White Devils' lacrosse team. After all, they've been blessed with the "nappy-headed hos" remark from Don Imus.
On The Today Show, Meredith Vieira had Jesse Jackson on as a guest. Obviously enough, Imus was the trial du jour. In any event, Vieria took a good shot at Jackson's hypocrisy.
"But people do say stupid things sometimes. And Reverend Jackson, I apologize, but some of your critics reminded me of 1984, and I remember it as well. You were running for president, and you referred to New York City as 'Hymietown.' And you were raked over the coals for that. A lot of people said you were anti-Semitic, gentlemen. And it took you seven days to apologize, and then you begged for forgiveness. So what's the difference between that and this?"
After the Don Imus story is bored to tears, it will be interesting to see what the Race Card Reverends and the Duke Professors have to say. Chances are, someone equally as reprehensible as Don Imus will expose his true colors. If it's in a rap album, it won't make the headlines. If it's a white man, you're in for another bail-out.
