Hillbilly Justice

Lemme tell ya a story 'bout the Durham DA
Was strugglin' to win re-election in May
And then one night a stripper said that she was raped
And the Durham DA had some goats that he could scape

Charge those boys...get re-elected

So the Durham DA got all over the TV
Said 70 times "They're guilty - you will see."
He forgot one thing trying for some fame and glory
He didn't check out the false accuser's story

Get an indictment...then investigate!

Now three men're indicted with no DNA match
There was semen present, but it was her boyfriend's batch
Sex with him could explain everything away...
...but none of that matters to the idiot Durham DA.

Bottom 10% of his UNC class...violates the bar code.

(to the tune of the Beverly HillBillies)

"Preppie-looking parents"

What are parents of an indicted rapist supposed to look like exactly? I guess they should have donned their gangsta clothes for the occasion!

Can you believe this?

I can't believe it. This prosecutor is really scarry, too. Almost makes me ashamed to live in NC.

Just guessing, but since the third player was implicated by the weakest of DNA evidence, Nifong is ecstatic to have something other than the victim's word to prop up his fiasco of a case.

No need for that, out of control DA's can be in any state!

I will say I would never send my kid to Duke. That's not NC's fault, that's Brodhead's fault imo. Failure to support these kids and their families in an effort to be politically correct has done irreperable damage (again, in my uneducated opinion).

From his writing style, JAMES GORDON MEEK seems to envy the success of this kid's family. (He probably suffers from penis envy too)

Evans family is wealthy. Are the elite of Durham hoping to get a "payoff"? A "new land or building" donation from the families of those indicted?

It's right up there in possibilities...

The lacrosse guys were just trying to help by patronizing an African-American business. As a result the stereotype of "don't deal with those of another race" is, so unfortunately for us all, reinforced. I am SO ashamed.

You think THAT is the lesson folks should be gleaning from this whole tawdry story? I have a better one: Don't patronize sex workers

Too bad mom doesn't work for the gun lobby or for some tobacco group. They'd really have a field day then.

Here's another possible motive for all the media hatred being directed at these young men. Maybe it's been mentioned, but I haven't seen it.

The gays that I have encountered usually virulently hate everything about male athletes and sports, particularly college athletes. The more 'white' and 'establishment' the sport, probably the greater the hatred.

These young Duke lacrosse players not only represent the young white male establishment, they represent the young HETEROSEXUAL male establishment. This is particularly true because of the crime with which they're charged.

I doubt if that's got anything to do with Nifong's nasty little agenda, but it may very well have something to do with the sickening enabling of his actions from certain members of the media.

Thank goodness he IS well connected. He's going to need good connections to get a decent job and then get along with his life.

The militant alternative lifestyle groups are not as powerful on local issues as they used to be in Durham.

"Rae Evans is a prolific campaign donor, stuffing a whopping $31,420 into mostly Republican coffers since 1994"

Twenty-six hundred bucks a year! That's Rockefeller-sized money, all right. ;)

"The latest Duke University lacrosse player accused of raping a stripper is the product of the rarefied air of Washington power and privilege."

The latest bloviating MSM jackal attacking an accused player personifies the end product of the putrefied liberal air of hate whitey and envy.

You know, Jerry Meeks is Chairman of the North Carolina Democrat Party. I wonder if the author of this article, James Gordon Meeks, and Jerry Meeks are kin.

Washington D.C. attorney and regular commentator on the Libby/Fitzgerald/Plame affair, Clarice Feldman, weighs in on the Duke case.

Snip:

As the prosecutor made his case public in countless public appearance just before the primary election in which he was a candidate, and because the votes of the black community were critical to his candidacy, suspicion of the strength of the charges is even greater.

In the meantime the team has been devastated, the university harmed, and, most importantly, three young men and their families have to suffer through the emotional and financial devastation of facing and defending against these charges. Their expensive education is being interrupted as they’ve been suspended pending resolution of the charges.

Every day this drags on drains the families and the accused emotionally and financially.

He must be guilty then. We all know how most crimes are the result of the well to do. I've been to those rich neighborhoods. The crime is out of control. You don't feel safe walking or even driving at night.

The elite have been on the dole and getting all sorts of "fundings". The liberal elite are the ones with money, not the conservatives. The elite hide their "dough" from theiry doughty followers.

The latest bloviating MSM jackal attacking an accused player personifies the end product of the putrefied liberal air of hate whitey and envy.

MSM want all those new contracts in other parts of the world. Besides, they've spent 40 years and trillions of investment dollars "keeping racism and sexism" alive and fueled. In the common vernacular, we used to call it "trying to get into another's panties" as a means to a self-centered goal.

Bingo. It's standard Phase II Dem Strategy.

I doubt if that's got anything to do with Nifong's nasty little agenda

The gay lobby (Progressive Alliance) in Durham were Nifong's supporters.

On the day that Evans was indicted I think there were over 60 other people indicted. Are the pundits going to find out who they are and rip on their parents too? Say, now that I think of it, the A/V in this case had been convicted of various crimes. Perhaps the newspaper clowns should start investigating her parents and ragging on THEM!
