NEW YORK (AP) -- Twenty years after her allegations of a racially charged rape became a national flash point, Tawana Brawley's mother and stepfather want to reopen the case, a newspaper reported Sunday.

Glenda Brawley and Ralph King want to press New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer and state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo to re-examine the November 1987 incident, which a state grand jury ultimately concluded was a hoax, the Daily News reported.

Megalomaniac Spitzer is crazy and I wouldn’t put it past him to open this case up again. He’s got to pander to the minority community, make it a racial issue, to get Her Thighness elected.

As for the parent’s, show me the money.

Tawana became a Muslim several years ago and now goes by some other, equally wacky name.I don’t know if her parents became Muslims or not. I’d suspect there’s a little bit of floating Islamic rage stirring this up again, combined with Al stirring the pot in all these staged “noose” cases and things like the “Jena 6,” etc.

It must be jealousy over all the attention the nappy headed ho in Durham got.....

Plus — the ignorant parents must think that they have a Governor and State Attorney General STUPID enough to go to bat for their skanky whore of a daughter....
I’m betting they’re RIGHT.

In a sane world, Tawana Brawley would still be in jail for her false rape charges..

I’m getting more than tired of lying black skanks and their “victim to profit” bullshit.

The fact that she hasn’t become a drugged out junkie...leads me to the curious situation of thinking that someone in the NY cop circles...was involved in this...and it wasn’t as bogus as we always thought.


Huh? Don’t follow your logic here. She could have gotten her life back together fo any number of reasons. And how do we know how she lives her life anyway?


The strange thing today...is why bring this back up, unless they really truly believed in what she said.

Its not strange at all—its all about the $$.

BTW—I have a bridge for sale in Brooklyn—cheap! Interested?

You have to be kidding me. It even sounds like the girl has moved on and made a life. Someone have an idea what the point of this would be?

Money. Free money.

I guess Tawana’s parents didn’t save any money for their retirement?

“Brawley has changed her name and become a nurse”

Hopefully I will come under the care of a nurse who is that nuts. Also, I would bet the Brawley’s had the mindset that they are “owed” even before Tawana was born.

Did Sharpton ever publicly apologize to all the Duke players for the accusations he made about them?

I thought after the Brawley hoax, Sharpton would never talk about her or the case when he was being interviewed. Now all of a sudden he will be ok about talking about it?

These lying hucksters need to have their assets seized by the courts.

This is the kind of story that libs try to avoid talking about. For your Sunday morning amusement, I found one entry at Dummieland, with only 4 responses.....and two of them implied it was a Republican backed move. The name Willy Horton was brought up. LOL!

What a stretch your post was. Talk about leaps of logic. Or illogic, I should say.

Because she didn’t turn to drugs (that we know of) the police must have had something to do with this. Huh??!!

Did ex Pres Clinton ever admit to having sex with Monica?
D.B. Cooper ever come forward?
Hoffa’s killer ever turn himself in?

knock knock. Anyone home there?!

They think times are better for this kind of hustle and in general they are right, but this one is so over the top they won't make it. OJ finds the drug dealers who murdered Ron and Nicole first!

A spokeswoman for Sharpton, who was held liable for $65,000 in the case, did not immediately respond to an e-mail message early Sunday.

Al didn't respond to the e-mail nor did he respond to the $65,000 judgement. Pagones should go Fred Goldman on Sharpton and follow him around demanding his money.
