I hit a sore spot with you and I’m sorry but I thought this was common knowledge. It was front page news in his day and appears in every biography of him.
*shrug* My ignorance.
I do know that during the same general time frame Fatty Arbuckle was falsely accused of murdering Virginia Rappe.
The press tried him, convicted him and destroyed his career. The jury found no evidence to support the charges.
His real crime? He had a sense of humor and liked to play the occasional practical joke. And he was fat.
Yeah, it’s a personal sore spot for me. You see, I’m fat and I have a sense of humor.
No one is immune from false accusations.
I’d be willing to put money on false charges and planted evidence of pedophilia being the left’s weapon of choice against anyone decent who attempts to interfere with the solidification The 0ne’s grab for absolute power.
After all, the mere accusation is enough, it’s not the truth of the charges that is important, but the severity.
Thanks for the common knowledge background. I wouldn’t have thought of your actions as despicable had I known of that.
I was out of line, and apologize for that comment.
But some of it was innuendo driven by hatred of communists (not that there's anything wrong with that, but it did distort some of the reportage). An Englishman, he was accused of concealing Jewish heritage by haters of the day. Suffice it to say, he had his hands on too many teenage girls, but times were somewhat different then, and lines were drawn between "good girls" and "hoydens." The girls he was chasing weren't exactly Sunday School teachers.
