It's incredible how many freepers fell for the "Guilt by Association" gambit (and still do) when the incredible hammer of moral and economic injustice was smashed indiscriminately on the university, the community and on the heads of everyone including the school janitor that had any connection with Penn or Paterno....innocent or otherwise.
"Guilt by Association"....one of the age-old pillars of the "commune vs. the individual" agenda.
I was in church the Sunday morning after Martin Luther King was assassinated. More than 200 in the pews.
The substitute young pastor (fresh out of seminary) delivering the sermon leaned forward in the pulpit and, pointing his finger repeatedly, stated over and over again:......"and YOU pulled the trigger"....."and YOU pulled the trigger"....."and YOU pulled the trigger".
An usher, our Township Supervisor (a heavy donor to the church) and I got up and quietly walked out. The scores of other congregants sat mute and took their indictment like sheep.
The upshot was that the liberal young minister was never invited back. He is now the head Administrator of a large Senior rest home and hospital facility owned by our denomination in my former state of Illinois. Probably where he and his bleeding heart belong.
The point here being...."Guilt by Association" is a marxist/fascist propaganda tactic. Watch for it everywhere. Obama's speeches are rife with it. The anti-gun movement is rife with it.
Separate out those who are the real perpetrators and sinners.

“Separate out those who are the real perpetrators and sinners.”
Excellent analysis as to how things actually are, rather than the made up versions we are assaulted with by the MSM and the Libs. Bravo.
