Will Nifong go after bloggers?
November 8, 2006

Posted on 11/08/2006 2:41:16 PM PST by CondorFlight

Now that the election is over and this can't be considered just an election ploy :

Rumors are said to have been circulating in Durham to the effect that Nifong might consider (legally) going after a couple of bloggers; that if he deals with a couple of them the rest will be intimidated and fade away.

This is just a heads up; so that if anything untoward happens, everyone will know about it in advance and be able to make the connection. The rumors are well-sourced.

I think it is 90% certain he will go after ones with mustaches.

Yeah, it appears you and maggief REALLY exposed him. Multiple times, no less! LOL! Everyone is thankful he at least had a towel on.

Liefong got the black vote. The local and state black organizations and church leaders were behind him. They formally endorsed him.

So, they're not rueing the day they gave him the nomination. If they had, they wouldn't have voted him in yesterday.

When the trial happens or should I say, IF it happens, Nifong will get his A$$ handed to him.

Right before the O.J. verdict, I too believed that justice would prevail.

Delete www and you get to

which is that same site. That happens when domain names are not properly registered, IRRC.

Not to be rude, but, please, get a clue. I think you need to read up on this case some.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I understand what you are saying quite clearly. I have followed the Duke case quite carefully and my opinion is that mnost of the Black Folk in Durham are decent people. It is a minority of emotional, harpy, pedantic racists who exploit the MSM and the community to make a "get whitey" movement. Enter Nifong who needs an issue to carry him into office. What better opportunity for this scumbag, than to fan the flames of inter-racial hatred ( Soon none of our black women will be safe, etc.)Most black folk in Durham don't buy it, but there is a certain entertainment value in watching Nifong make the establishment upper class jump through hoops.

I will be surprised if the case ever gets to trial. Most of the evidence is circumstantial, and the DNA evidence, so called, has a very low provenance in terms of admiussability into evidence.

I stand by my statement. The Black folks of Durham are decent folk.And they hardly resemble the collection of firebrand moonbats who have convinced the nation that Jim Crow still inhabits the shadows of the county.

I would just love for Nifong to come get me in NJ. I'll have a few friends waiting for him ;)

Maybe he'll use the rape-shield laws to go after bloggers who revealed "VICTIM X's (Crystal's) real name. Sounds like something Nifong would do.

"Wouldn't be surprised to see a lot 'Rats trying to shut down the blogs and sites like this one, either."

I may just be paranoid, but I think we are about to hear about a new "fairness doctrine" that will include web sites. (And for my money, Reynolds makes the best foil.)

"When the trial happens or should I say, IF it happens, Nifong will get his A$$ handed to him."

As Nifong said or I read he said: The evidence means nothing, all that matters is a jury that is with you. If I read correctly he will have that jury and the verdict will be guilty no matter the evidence. Several thousand innocent people are convicted every year by prosecutors who care nothing for their oath of "protect the innocent and prosecute the guilty" but just want a conviction.

It happened on this thread. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1735046/posts I believe the first mention is on post #43. I cancelled mine, which popped up 3 times.

In post #27 on that thread, meandog linked to a graphic from the dhs.gov website. It is not tracking anyone, it is only meandog's picture of Bush & Rumsfeild.

"Will Nifong go after bloggers?"

On that subject I fully expect a law suit will be filed against FR by some newspaper.

Further, I believe there will be a new tactic in that war, Libel, or is it Slander when speaking of Blogs/Bulletin Boards?

BTW Since the polls closed last night I am 100% so far on my predictions.

I called Rummy right

I called the President's new tone with the Democrats right

I called the online polls right (About how soon should the soldiers come home

and I got the first Salvo of questions and stories right concerning the MSM going straight to how soon will we pull out of Iraq and claiming that this was a referendum on the war in Iraq.

And it makes me all very sad.

You really have NO clue at all what you're talking about. I wasn't sure after reading just your first post, but I am now completely convinced. You're just simply wrong in every aspect of your post.

I watched that visoe of him approaching Harris (hope that is name-The Duke Announcer)

Nifong's affect was ....I want to say inappropriate, but beyond that.

Delusional. King of the World. Everyone Loves Me.

How many clues did Harris give to Nifong to get the hell away from him?

As good is my witness, I honestly believe (IMHO, of course) Nifong had no clue or comprehension. That is why I think he will try to go after some bloggers.

Justice did prevail, but not in the court room. Cochrane is prematurely dead, and OJ?

He is the laughing stock of the community in which he resides, AND will likely come to a sad end on the target end of a husband's high caliber handgun.

I think if he goes after the bloggers the MSM might turn on him.

Not in the criminal court room. I can't wait for the Duke 3 and Ashley Cannon to sue Durham.

That's not what rape shield laws protect.

Why am I even replying? Because I do not believe in racism as a way to relate to my fellow Americans.

You do. Racism is conquered by simply taking a good look.And understanding where the emotion comes from.

In this case it does not come from the stereotypes you espouse. It comes from you.

Do you have the courage to go and talk to the decent folks. They would hardly want any nnocent man to pay for a crime uncommitted. Black folk know about that from the past.
