John Edwards Scandal: The Myth of the Edwards’ Denials

Peter replied, "Man, I don't know what you're talking about!" --Famous denial, Luke 22:60

Media Circulates False Story that Edwards Denied Love Child Allegations in December

National Enquirer's December Allegations NEVER Denied

No Edwards' Denials After November 29: A MSM Urban Legend

UPDATE to follow at end of story. UPDATE #1: pending

Perhaps history's three most famous denials were issued by the apostle Peter on the night that Jesus was arrested. Thus, Peter issued three more denials in one night than John Edwards has made after November 29, 2007; i.e., none.

One recurring theme turning up for Mainstream Media apologists in the last several days goes something on the order of, "Edwards denied this story in December". Variations range from yesterday's Raleigh Telegram's insistent "Edwards continuously denied the accusations," [Enquirer Publishes Blurry 'Photo' Of John Edwards] to Deceiver's July 28 "The John Edwards Non-Scandal Keeps Getting Not-Weirder":

Then, last December, Edwards denied having an affair and an illegitimate child with Hunter after the National Enquirer spotted her, visibly pregnant, living in North Carolina.

One British newspaper repeated the "Edwards' December Denial" recently. Yesterday, at NRO, Byron York cited--inadvertently, no doubt--the EDD meme. From "John Edwards: The Picture of a Scandal" (emphasis added):

Last December, when the Enquirer first named Hunter, Edwards did deny it. A couple of months earlier, when the Enquirer published a thinly-sourced story claiming that Edwards was "caught in a shocking mistress scandal that could wreck his campaign," Edwards quite emphatically denied it.

The media cover up of why the MSM didn't investigate the John Edwards scandal back in December has already begun. Will they succeed?

Hell, he's a lawyer.
You'd think he'd be used to lying.

If this case is true I hope his wife beats the ever living snot out of him and then castrates him while he’s awake and fully conscious. My husband and I are going through IVF right now so I can empathize with what she went through to have more kids for him. If he is low enough to cheat on her after that, and not to mention that the woman is sick to boot, I cannot think of enough painful punishments for him.

Seems to me that alot of men in powerful positions will throw it ALL away for to get some “strange” on the side. What is up with that? The only other group of people so foolish seem to be female high school teachers.

One only wishes female high school teachers had been that dysfunctional when I was in high school.
