So you admit that, AT THE VERY LEAST, Paterno covered up for a child rapist.

I agree that it appears that, in a moral sense, that's the case. What remains to be seen is what additional facts come out to mitigate or exacerbate those actions, good or bad.

And yet, as evidenced by the title of this thread, Penn Staters were chanting that they love him to say nothing of engaging in a full blown RIOT after he was fired!

The fact that you're unable to distinguish between their anger over how the administration and BoT handled the firing v actual support of Paterno is surprising. This appears to be a straightforward exercise in logic, but perhaps I'm expecting too much of other posters. So I'll try it one more time: the seemingly pro-Paterno chants are in reality criticism of the BoT and administration. In a sense, their actions foolishly made him into a martyr.

You people are coo coo for coco puffs.

You know, I can remember seeing your posts for many years, and always found you to be fairly logical and on point. Your tone and (il)logic here come as a real surprise.

“...when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you - when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - you may know that your society is doomed.

-Atlas Shrugged”

You might want to remove this quote from your profile page, lest you appear to be a hypocrite.
