This crime was deep-sixed, predictably, and should be covered.
See the nearby thread by Klavan -- the reason the story of this murder is not in the news is ... "shut up".
The Gaystapo has infiltrated every news room with PC rules.
Duh. Some of us figured out a LONG time ago that the press is fundamentally dishonest (not that that's anything new with liberals) -- burying real news they don't like, promoting lesser items that agree with their agenda, and printing blatant fiction (lies) when necessary.
This story should be on Drudge.
Had white heterosexual men lured, drugged and killed a woman or a black man in upscale NW Washington three weeks ago, we would all now know their names, hometowns, professions and every ugly detail of the crime.
Camille, love you for your honesty. Come on over to Conservatism — you’re almost here and the water’s warm!
Oxford Town, Oxford Town
Ev’rybody’s got their heads bowed down
The sun don't shine above the ground
Ain't a-goin’ down to Oxford Town
He went down to Oxford Town
Guns and clubs followed him down
All because his face was brown
Better get away from Oxford Town
Oxford Town around the bend
He come in to the door, he couldn't get in
All because of the color of his skin
What do you think about that, my frien’?
Me and my gal, my gal's son
We got met with a tear gas bomb
I don't even know why we come
Goin’ back where we come from
Oxford Town in the afternoon
Ev’rybody singin’ a sorrowful tune
Two men died ‘neath the Mississippi moon
Somebody better investigate soon
Oxford Town, Oxford Town
Ev’rybody’s got their heads bowed down
The sun don't shine above the ground
Ain't a-goin’ down to Oxford Town
Bring the truth out about this, and every other sordid, buried crime of "protected" groups. Air it out. Daylight is healthy. This man went to the home of what he thought was an old college friend, and was drugged, sexually assaulted and murdered, by this so-called friend and two others. Let justice be served.
The fruit element in this country is an incredibly destructive and anti-American force.
I really admire Camille Paglia’s intellectual honesty and integrity: she is never afraid to follow a lead, regardless of what it uncovers or whose sins might be revealed. Her opposite among gay journalists is Andrew Sullivan, who not only strictly adheres to the Liberal nostrum of “no enemies to the Left”, it is apparent he also sees none to the rear.

Sullivan’s rear knows no enemy.
He does appears to invite "friendly fire".
I’ve read her stuff a few times at Drudge. As you say she covers both sides. In the 90’s, she went into a tirade when NOW when took Clinton’s side during the Juanita Broddrick thing. She also wrote about Clinton’s fondness for telling lesbian jokes when he was having a few drinks with his pals. I thought that was really interesting.
If you’re in with the MSM you get a lot of material if you have the guts to write about the hypocrisy around you.
There's the problem, right there. On the one hand, she is an "individualist"; on the other, she is a leftist. It's a contradiction. You cannot consistently follow a philosophy of individualism and be a leftist. This contradiction in her thinking leads to highly fragmented writing and behavior: she calls herself a "libertarian," yet voted for Ralph Nader a few elections back; she enthusiastically voted for zerobama, and only AFTER the election started writing on Salon that, yes, zero was being "secretive" about his birth certificate. She believes that government spending is a good thing, as long as it is spent on the right kind of projects -- meaning, projects she personally agrees with -- such as "infrastructure." Her posts reveal her to be a complete ignoramus in economics...God forbid she should ever actually read something by Sowell or Friedman or Hazlitt and learn something about the subject before publishing an opinion on it.
She's really just a kind of well-educated, intellectual hippie whose claims to "individualism" and "libertarianism" rest on the fact that she is "anti-authority." It's a weak foundation to support a philosophy of freedom.
If young black males were disappearing under similar circumstances, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson would be marching in the streets demanding justice. And if they were young female coeds, the story would be on Greta every single night from now until eternity.
Another student disappeared just last Sunday in St. Paul and has not been located:
Another point in the intellectually honest Ms. Paglia’s favor is that she is a friend of Rush Limbaugh. She supports his show (and his right to make his statements) constantly in her Salon peices. She (and he) seem to have a mutual respectn going. I think we are all judged by the people we keep company with.
