Verbal attacks are also pretty mild compared to what she did to that cabbie whose taxi she stole and that cop she tried to run down a few years back.
The last resort of losers is to ad hom those who outdid them. Goslee will never realize it, but the one who outdid her was Mangum. Goslee foolishly placed faith in this woman's word because she is black.
Goslee is just another racist.
The accuser is a whore who should be prosecuted for whoring.
Here's a review of a book Mary Winstead wrote about the civil rights era and one of the big cases during that period:
Back to Mississippi: A Personal Journey Through the Events that Changed America in 1964
By Mary Winstead
Hyperion (Hardcover, $22.95, ISBN: 0786867965)
Publication date: August 2002
Description from Publishers Weekly:
Although Winstead was born into “a family of storytellers” and possesses a promising tale, the pedestrian style and rickety structure of this memoir defuse what could have been a riveting and revealing historical account. The story concerns her discovery of her father’s cousin’s involvement in the 1964 murders of three civil rights workers in rural Mississippi. Amid the ragged juxtaposition of bits of research with unabsorbing details of daily life, Winstead’s periodic sketches of the victims (James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner) are often more intrusive than significant. This is also the case with her depiction of cousin Edgar Ray “Preacher” Killen, who coordinated the killings and was released in 1967 by a deadlocked state jury. (According to Winstead, his case will be tried again soon, and Mississippi’s attorney general has named him as the state’s main suspect. He did not talk to Winstead for this book.) Winstead’s colorless retelling of growing up in Minneapolis during the 1950s and ’60s, with occasional trips to visit her father’s Mississippi family, suggests comparison with Diane McWhorter’s Carry Me Home (2001). Alas, writing one’s life does not always mean examining it. Winstead’s acceptance of the notion that “most people in Philadelphia [Miss.] believed that the whole thing was a hoax” calls for greater scrutiny of her source, the Meridian [Miss.] Star. Andrew Goodman’s mother tells Winstead the event was a very important time in the nation’s history, and that for a long time not much was said about it at all. Winstead adds little to that record. —Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information, Inc.

Did you happen to notice, Maica, that within 24 hours of the President's presentation the huge and immediate amounts of cache and insurgent capture and destruction in Iraq by US & Coalition forces? :)
Democrats in Durham, NC are most certainly communicating a world-wide message. To whom? Possibilities boggle the mind.

No.
"The accuser is a whore who should be prosecuted for whoring."
Nu, the accuser is a whore and should be prosecuted for perjury and bringing false charges...
Paula Zahn will host a forum on race in Durham Tuesday night. I'll let you guys watch it.
I have a 100 pound Lab and my son occasionally brings his three <15 pound dogs for us to watch for a weekend. We keep them separate because although they get along OK the Lab plays with a different degree of enthusiasm and does not realize he is a Large Dog. *g
Anyway, we have one food bowl for him and one that the little dogs use, as well as small/large water bowls. When the little dogs go out they head stright for his food - even though it is identical to theirs - and when the Lab goes out he drinks every drop of their water.
It is so funny to see each believe that the others' is better even though identical!
We are both right.
OMG i totally agree! they make me laugh my head off! had i offered lucius a bowl of that soft stuff before we got this puppy he would have turned his nose up at it and looked at me as if i was nuts! he is 23 lbs, she is 6.5 lbs, he has always been incredibly laid back if not TIMID. she is a feisty little snip who is constantly in his face. she will agitate him to the point he will chase her around the house at top speed as if he was going to maul her, she will run under a chair or if caught in the open will immediately flop on her back and show her belly. it is hysterical. a minute later she is back in his face agitating! i buy the bully sticks for them bc they both love them. i bought one for each of them, but NO. he doesn't want her to have ANY. he will get up and leave his, to tear her's from her mouth! this, from mildmannered mr. scaredypants.
Thanks for the post. What a sweetheart you are for posting that! I should have known that you too are a dog lover.
OFFTOPIC. Please scroll through this post unless you like to read about dogs. It has nothing about the Duke hoax.
What you're suggesting is pretty well what I've been trying to do for the past couple of days. No free food and no water dish for the pup. She's four months old and -- I just found this out -- has been kept in a crate when the groomer goes to work. I'm old and old fashioned and I detest crate training. My dogs have always had the run of the house and they have always been housebroken. Some were easier, but even when I had an apartment, I could housebreak a dog with time and patience and lots of praise and rewards. This little girl does her business within ten minutes AFTER she comes in from outside. I've been grabbing her in the act and putting her back outside. She's not getting it.
But this is unfair to the older dog -- who was a breeze to housebreak, but I got her at eight weeks old. First, Heidi wants me to have nothing to do with the pup. So giving praise is a problem. Not that she has deserved any praise yet. (But she's so cute!) Second, Heidi is used to having her water and her food whenever she wants. Now her dishes are in the bathroom and the door is shut when the pup is out of the kitchen.
Last night, it seemed that Heidi was trying to train the pup. She came back to the study (with the pup on her heels) and made a big show of barking to indicate that she wanted to go outside. They both went out with me repeating the word "outside" and Heidi did both of what they are supposed to do, but the little one did nothing -- until ten minutes later in the kitchen.
The pup is a handful. She's so cute. She thought the Clorox cleanser bottle was a toy. (That's what I've been using to clean up her messes.) I found it in the middle of the kitchen floor -- this was in a matter of minutes. It had three punctures at the bottom. It was like a fountain when I held it up and squeezed it. (And no, the pup didn't drink the stuff. She's fine.)
This was a dumb idea and the pup will go back to the groomer on Wednesday. Heidi is 12 and I hope she has many more years left before a puppy enters this house again. She's been too good of a dog to endure a major change like this in her old age. It was a dumb idea and I'm to blame. I am a sucker for puppies -- especially standard poodle little girls.
