Who wants to take bets that this turns out to be phony?
Just came upon this and here I am at post #3 and I find someone who feels the way that I do.
Weird!
Yup.
15 minutes thang. This prof learned the joys of fame from AH's like cindy sh@@head.
Rev. Al Sharpton/Tawana Brawley cast call.
Someone should check to see whether he was seen at any
local bondage or S&M clubs before jumping to conclusions. [sarcasm]
Interesting, nobody I know would lay a hand on the face slapping hate mongering professor. See a Christian would never act in this manner, there is a Book that defines what is acceptable and what is NOT, and this does not fit a Christian profile.
Nyuh-uh! This one stinks to high heaven.

It sounds like it. It would take a serious wuss to beat someone with a metal object and for them to only get away with scrapes and bruises.
It also has too many hokey references. A pickup truck? Two white males? He is looking to make the "stupid rednecks want to fight instead of talk" ploy.
If it did happen, I hope they jail whoever did it. But my bet is on that this is a staged event.
Who has the money to waste? That bet would be thrown away.
Bash Christians AND get another 15 minutes - he just couldn't resist.

That was the first thought I had when I read the headline.
Our town supposedly had a rash of violence against peace protestors and Muslim property shortly after 9/11. Every incidence was phoney, or no evidence was found to back up the so called incidences.
My money says it was a phony episode.
IF he was really beaten up by strangers, it was probably a robbery and he saw an opportunity to bash Christians.
Too bad they didn't break his knees.
No bet here. I think it smells of when that professor out west (Evergreen St.?) faked a hate crime not too long ago.
"Who wants to take bets that this turns out to be phony?"
No bets here, either.
"described as two white males between ages 30 and 40, one wearing a red visor and wool gloves, and both wearing jeans. They were last seen in a large pickup truck."
This seems to have been lifted from the "Easy Rider" script.
it has the same feel as the story about the sailor who claimed racial discrimination, derogatory names spray painted on his door, etc., thru turned out he'd done it himself
I'll take a 100 on phony
Sucker bet..

It could certainly be phony. There's plenty of precedent for it among lefties such as Mirecki. However, to be fair, it could also be legitimate. Mirecki may be a hypocrite and a kook, but that shouldn't merit a beating.
Hope you're right, because to think that someone would defend Christianity with violence like this is a stupid thing to do.
I say it's a phony incident if you're keeping track.
