The Duke case is a DEMOCRAT scandal

Durham County, North Carolina is a Democrat bastion; Durham County's appointed District Attorney Michael B. Nifong is a Democrat; the North Carolina Governor (Michael Easley) who appointed Mr. Nifong is a Democrat; and North Carolina Attorney General (Roy Cooper) who has not intervened in the interests of justice, is a Democrat.

And the only elected officials who *have* taken a stand against this outrage--Congressman Walter Jones and State Rep. Stephen LaRoque--are Republicans. I'm shocked, I'm telling 'ya!

Michael B. Nifong is a Democrat

Oh no, he is NOT !!!

Is he really ?

[GSlob]

""60 Minutes" never mentioned during is two-part segment on the Duke case broadcast last Sunday night that the Duke case is a Democrat scandal. But, IT IS! Durham County, North Carolina is a Democrat bastion; Durham County's appointed District Attorney Michael B. Nifong is a Democrat; the North Carolina Governor (Michael Easley) who appointed Mr. Nifong is a Democrat; and North Carolina Attorney General (Roy Cooper) who has not intervened in the interests of justice, is a Democrat."
And '60 minutes" is staffed [and stuffed] with Democrats. Why did Michael Gaynor break the logical sequence?

[Mount Athos]

If Nifong didn't run with a (D) next to his name on the ballot, and wasn't appointed by one, then I don't think of it as a "Democrat scandal". But it's interesting that he is a Democrat.

laden as the case is with class envy and racial opportunism, how could it not be Democrat? Although I find a lot to condemn about the players' activities as well and don't want to associate it with acceptable conservative behavior. Maybe it's libertarian behavior?

The "Duke" case, and many like it (President Nixon) are all based on revenge and get the opposition. The Democrats will silence all opposition when they have the power. They do not have it yet. The real blame will be on the Republican voters that stay home rather than voting.

I love watching Repubs and Dems duke it out. Maybe one day y'all wipe each other off the face of the planet and let more sane, reasonable people take over.

He ran in the "D" primary

[luv2ski]

The numerous posts about the behavior of the team the night of the party must be from people who are in their 70s or more. People in their 60s were part of the flower children who were so drugged out in college it's a miracle they have any brain cells left.
So kids party on campuses these days. *yawn* So did I, and my husband and my boys who are in college. Big deal.
You might recall that Reade Seligman took a cab back to his dorm. I asked my son if that was unusual and he said they always take cabs or have a DD. This generation (at least the bright ones) knows not to drive drunk.

We'll make sure to take out the third-party trolls first.

well I'll be pushing my 70's in another couple decades, an amazingly short time, sigh. But this should be a cautionary to many young people who are "just along for the ride," when this kind of stuff gets talked about or started.

When will the media stop calling this the "Duke Lacrosse Rape" case and start appropriately calling it the "Michael Nifong Case"?

[HarmlessLovableFuzzball]

Dream on. I believe the correct term is Nifongate.

[Paladin2]

"Mike Nifong's re-election as a 'rat" case.

[TrollBridge]

We'll make sure to take out the third-party trolls first.

I'll have you know that I am a member of the 4th party thank-you-very-much.

"By remaining silent about this obvious miscarriage of justice, black leadership looks as racist and cowardly as it paints white people who ignore obvious mistreatment of blacks.

Worth saying again. But of course, that's not what is happening. Instead, the actions of the black leadership serve to increase racial tension and friction.

Nothing new there.

>>He ran in the "D" primary

And in the general election, I believe with a "D" next to his name. In a town where the primary pretty much is the election, though I think he almost got nailed by a write-in, in the general election.

Pinging some locals for clarification.

It would be interesting to see all of those who came to Durham, North Carolina and jumped on the Nifong band wagon in the early days of the prosecution. I would love to see their quotes at the time. Al Sharpton and others come to mind.
