Orwell University Duke Profs' PC Travesty

by John Podhoretz - January 18th, 2007 - New York Post

Right now, a tent city's up at Duke University - the site of the most outrageous case of railroading in recent history. Three Duke lacrosse players were falsely accused of raping a woman and charged unjustly with that and other crimes by a district attorney who suppressed evidence and committed perjury before recusing himself from the case.

This monumental injustice deserves a protest, especially since the trumped-up charges have not yet been dropped (though they soon will be).

But the Duke tent city isn't about that. The hundreds of students who've taken up residence for weeks aren't complaining about anything. They're camping out for tickets to the semi-annual Duke-Carolina basketball game. As senior Jamie Deal says, they're "pretty apathetic" about politics.

Podhoretz is pretty confident that charges against the Duke Three will SOON be dropped. He obviously still suffers from the delusion that our courts are a system of justice. Though the charges are looking more and more likely to ultimately be dropped I would not count on it being soon. It has already been several months too late. Like Scooter Libby, and Maruice Stans as far back as the 1970s, it is pretty apparent that democrat district attorneys think they can charge white males with any poltically correct nonsense they drum up.

This article by Podhoretz is about the abusive hypocrisy of liberals and democrats on college campuses. Our nation is about evenly split between liberals and conservatives. However college professors are over 90% liberals, progressives, socialists, marxists and outright communists, fervent democrats all. 88 of these liberal, progressive, socialist and marxist bigots wrote an article drumming up support to lynch the Duke Three and declare their crimes typical of a white society passsionately committed to perpetuating crimes against blacks. These liberals insist the student body is not apathetic but committed. As the article above notes, there is a lot of evidence it is not committed but apathetic. However, now that it is obvious that the claims about the "Duke Three" made by the "88" are not true, they publish a new article, claiming that all their first article advocated was treating the Duke Three with a presumption of innocence (even though white society is evil). They were simply misunderstood.

Really? [grin]

You know with the comedy that liberals write in our papers on a daily basis, I sometimes wonder how real comedians are able to compete.
