Here we have the same Ms. Meadows and her editors who in their early reporting stereotyped the lacrosse players as rich white privileged jocks, now devoting an entire piece to humanizing Reade Seligmann.

So nimble, the MSM.

"He'd already planned to go to law school, but now, he says, it's gotten personal: he wants to become a criminal defense lawyer."

That's outstanding. I would also suggest that he look into fighting for people who are discriminated against in things like school admissions, hiring and promotions - white males.

"He doesn't mind being noticed but gets upset when people say his reputation is ruined."

The proper response is: "Bite me."

Duke should fold up its tents and get the heck out of Durham.

Who in their right mind would send a child there?

Maybe she finally figured out that Nifong's folks had picked out guys on their presumptive "Jewish looks", "Jewish names", and proximity to "New York City".

With an election coming up that was a homerun for the Democrats ~ just run against the New York Jewish guys who rape poor black women.

You don't need to go any further than that.

Doesn't that Edwards guy "caucus" with these people ~ the NC Democrats?

Justice will not be served in this case. Nifong belongs in jail. The whore belongs in jail. Duke deserves to pay millions to the kids as does the town of Durham. None of it will happen. These boys will never be able to fully restore their names. Everywhere they go they will be known as the kids in the Duke rape case. Sexual assualt charges never fully go away.

Mel Watts (D-NC) is head of the Black Caucus. Edwards, also from NC, is courting every Black he can find, and Mel is from his own backyard.

Yes, that's one adjective that could be used to describe them...

On what planet does "Collin Finnerty" sound Jewish, or look Jewish?

I had three conditions there ~ all of them need not have applied.

Nifong used what he could get at the time ~ plus one of the guys already had an incident pending in DC.

You have to understand, the audience Nifong was playing to doesn't care if all the Jews have Jewish names either, particularly if they're from New York City, or near there, or hang around with people from there, or know how to spell it.

Maybe we can get ol'Mel or his hillcountry batboy to open their mouths a little further ~ like Cindy McKinney and her daddy!

The audience Nifong was playing to is the 50% plus of Durham County that is black, radical and largely ignorant. Their interest lay in prosecuting three rich white boys ... period. For supposed past "injustices," regardless of their guilt or innocence.

Your theorizing is always amusing, but this borders on silly, almost as silly as your categorizing the entirety of Southside Virginia as some sort of Klan stronghold.

Not the entirity ~ just identified the part of the commonwealth where they live.

Susannah Meadow's May 1, 2006 Newsweek article " What Happened At Duke ?"
helped promote the myth that a date rape drug was used.
She was everywhere on tv talking about her exclusive.
"Nifong, a white man who is running for election in a racially mixed county,
hinted to NEWSWEEK that blood and urine tests of the woman would reveal the presence of a date-rape drug. "
