"I personally and professionally support Mike Nifong for District Attorney.
I have known Mike my entire law enforcement career and know him to be
an honest individual with impeccable integrity. His lengthy career with the
District Attorney's Office demonstrates his commitment and dedication to
the citizens of Durham. As a lifelong resident of Durham I want the best for
our citizens and Mike Nifong is the best candidate for District Attorney."

Durham city manager Patrick Baker negotiated a sweet early retirement
deal with DPD Chief Chalmers this summer. We never did learn the contents
of Baker's report to the City Council on the DPD 'investigation' of the
Durham Extortion and Fraud Scandal. And to think all those federal agents
helping out on other crimes might have noticed anything?
Barber must be one of the more blatant hypocrites and charlatans in NC. He loves to throw in the religious rhetoric and quote MLK. He knows how to 'talk the talk' :
"The Lord needs you. The cause of justice needs you," Barber said.

"And to stand here today as president of one and an alumni of another is a humbling state of being," he said. "I tell you, these verdant greens and sloping hills are historic and holy grounds."
Yet Barber lets the NAACP use Joyner to 'monitor' the lacrosse hoax; kept a list of over 80 contentions about the lacrosse defense up on the state NAACP site for a long time , and by doing so effectively endorsed the lie that race was a feature of the alleged "crime", and encouraged the black community to draw the same conclusion.
And nary a word of condemnation has been heard for the NAACP's sharing a rostrum with the NBBP. If the KKK had shared a rostrom with anyone, there would have been condemnation from one side of the country to the other. But the NAACP apparently feels no shame in uniting with a group that calls for the extermination of all whites, beginning with the Jews.
Mr. Barber, where is your apology, your renunciation of this meeting, your denouncing of the NBBP, and your declaration that never, under any circumstances, will you refer to them or members of the NOI (who also believe in the final end of the white race) as "brothers and sisters"?
