Of course the fems are going to get behind this guy. Beleive there is a LARGE political contingent that does not see a single thing wrong with what is going on here.
I posted some time ago to the effect that Nifong "knows his base". Honestly, in feminism-land, these are the types of qualities that get you promoted in the justice system. In Maine a DA that went great guns after a male teacher for a weak sexual assault charge - even though the guy was easily found innocent - got kicked up into the highest public-safety post in the state. He "made his bones" my ruining this guy's reputation - and by standing fast against a public outcry to drop the case.
Nifong's (and the feminist's) problem is that in this case their shenanigans got exposed to national scrutiny. Believe me, there's nothing going on here that isn't going in almost every "democratic stronghold" in the country.
The more the leftist Fifth Column factions prevail in these cases, the more traction they get in gaining positions of power. Those successes multiply exponentially as the cycle of dumbing-down and weakening of Americans escalates while the left's use of the courts as a bludgeon also escalates.
