So it is true that you are in favor of handing out convictions without a trial, and guilty verdicts without evidence, and pink slips on allegations alone: Cart ... Horse. [Uncle Chip]

Of course he is. That is what is posts are all about: Keeping the lynch mob worked up. [FredZarguna]

#1...Kinda hard to "lynch" a corpse...wouldn't you say? (Or did I point out a fact beyond both your IQs???)

#2...As for your other allegations here, allow me to quote columnist Scott Ostler, who was writing about all of this back in November of 2011-- Penn State's Joe Paterno gets what he deserves:

With responsibility comes responsibility."

And commenting upon Paterno's mea culpa: "With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I had done more," Paterno said in a statement. That's pathetic. You need hindsight to tell you that you must do whatever you can to stop a dangerous criminal?

And finally: Several e-mailers demand, "Have you ever heard of due process?" The due process I've heard of involves a justice system and a legal trial. Paterno faces no legal action or charge. Legally, his rear end is covered. But there was no trial when Paterno was sainted, no jury declared him one of the noblest and finest college coaches of all time. The public decided. It's the same deal on the flip side...

So "trials?" "Guilty verdicts?"

More over-the-top hyperbole? What now, Chip? Are you saying that people are going to drag ole Joe's corpse from the grave and "try" him some court of law?

Are you lamely claiming that Joe is under indictment somewhere down here? Is he up for trial somewhere?

Oh...so you're lamely attempting to speak poetically...or word-picture, wise? Is that it?

If so, then Ostler's comment fits there: "...

there was no trial when Paterno was sainted, no jury declared him one of the noblest and finest college coaches of all time. The public decided. It's the same deal on the flip side...

SS;DR.

Please post with larger font. I can't see how intelligent you are with these small characters.

Ask yourself that question. You're the one doing it. And you are obsessed to the point of a mental disorder over it.

What you keep trying to do is lynch a reputation, you mouse.
I am guessing you were diddled (or worse) as a youngster, by an adult you trusted? Is that what this is about?
And it's all Joe Paterno's fault?
