Kev doesn't give us too much in the way of rules.. heck or even guidance for that fact. But he did ask us once to keep any potty language out the subject lines. And I always like to give people with virgin eyes a warning. -- (And the rant mode is still on.)
That subject should have read.... Terry Moran is a fucking asshole.
DON'T FEEL TOO SORRY FOR THE DUKIES
Mike Nifong, the North Carolina prosecutor who pursued a case of rape and kidnapping against three Duke University lacrosse players, has been found to have been reckless and deceitful in the discharge of his duties according to the state's attorney general. He abused the power the people of Durham granted him. Based on the public record of what he did in this case, he may well be properly disbarred.
The accuser in this case has been shown to be either a vicious liar or a troubled fantasist.
The three young men who she accused are truly innocent of the charges brought against them according to the North Carolina Attorney General and the investigation led by his office.
...So as we rightly cover the vindication of these young men and focus on the genuine ordeal they have endured, let us also remember a few other things:
They were part of a team that collected $800 to purchase the time of two strippers.
Fucking, fucking asshole. The team (famously) had 40 guys on it. That means each kid kicked in a whopping 20 bucks. Asshole Moran wants you to think because they are little rich kids it's ok for them to be falsely accused of rape and spend a few years of their lives wondering if they are going to the slammer for a 30 years for a crime they didn't commit.
How much does Terry Moron make?
Don Imus loses his job for his comments and this asshole is still employed. Why? He certainly offended me. -- Oh, I'm not black, I forgot.

I completely agree and just posted on the ABC News site telling Moran just how stupid he truly is. He "intuits" what went on in the house that night - and just like Nifong, completely without facts!
He is a complete idiot!
I'm waiting to see if ABC has the "brass cojones" to publish my response. I was less nice than usual by a LOT.

This is one of those things you just naturally assume is satire, because it is just beyond the pale. Okay, Terry, this one just may sink you.
Does Terry even realize that by all standards he himself is considered "rich" and "priviledged" ? Does anyone think that any of the sons and daughters of these media elites (like Terry) do not go to prestitious institutions such as Duke? Of course they do! Terry Moran and his kids would fall into all of these categories. And does Terry not think any of his offspring and the offspring of his media elite peers ever partake in (gasp) underage drinking? And god only knows, I'm sure no sons of the media elite have ever been around strippers!
And OMG they actually REQUESTED one of the strippers be WHITE!!! (this has to be the FUNNIEST one of all)..
Would he say the same if one of his kids were falsely accused?
Just # 1 zillion why I could never be a liberal. They are insane.

Remember, we were told all during the first weeks of this trial, to not look at the "victim" as a STRIPPER, but as a mother. I remember hearing this over and over and over.
Heaven forbid we look at the accused as anything other than white, rich and priviledged, because that of course is that defines them.

Terry Moran has at numerous times egaged in sexual relations with underage boys.
Let's bring him to court and drag him through the mud for a year. If he is found innocent, no one should feel sorry for him, because I intuit that something has gone on in his house at some point.
Most importantly, you should all feel sympathy for me, the one who levied false charges against Terry Moran, because even though I lied and nothing ever occured, somehow those young boys are still victims.

Let's not forget Terry Moran's other contributions on his Greatest Hits - Hit List
This is the same Terry Moran who raked Scott "Mr. I don't have a pair, but I'm cute and fluffy" McClellan over the coals when Newsweek ran the bogus Koran flushing story that resulted in the usual mayhem/riots/death for the religion of peace, to which McClellan suggetsed Newsweek practice more care in what they publish and how to repair the damage.
In response to this, Moran not only took issue with it the White House's position that Newsweek not run incorrect stories that could result in death/mayhem/riots, he got downright indignant.
http://www.opinionjournal.com/best/?id=110006709
http://www.mediaresearch.org/cyberalerts/2005/cyb20050518.asp
Obviously, he felt it was okay for the media to print false stories, even if acciddentally, if the greater good of undermining Bush was attained. A review of his blog entries also outlines a clear liberal bias.
As the typical liberal, Moran is probaly well compensated (150K+/year), lives in a toney intown apartment, sends kids to exclusive schools, soap-boxes about the poor while making his Ecuadorean nanny work on Christmas Day so she can "earn extra money", hates rich people who don't pay their fair share, but itemizes the hell out of his tax return (thereby depriving the poor if applied too conservatives who are rich) to reduce the tax liability.
If he had a little more talent, he could be a college professor teaching about how the US is the greatest evil to befall the planet

At the time this case first became public I was struck by the inconsistancies in the accuser's story. I also remember saying to myself:
"How jaded are you when you are surrounded by pretty college coeds and you have to hire Strippers to work your party?"
I'll readilly admit to the fact that I am still puzzled by this. But that's as far as any bad feelings towards these guys goes. They were the victims of every person's worst nightmare, and they were splashed over the nation's (and the world's) newspapers, held up as the worst sort of craven Richies.
While I'm of the mind to call Moran every name in the book, I'm not surprised by his statement. After all, Moran sounds like the Classic Liberal Canard: The Ends Justify The Means.

Jo, that is right nobody other than those guys have been wrongly accused of a crime, and absolutely nobody has ever been convicted of crime they did not commit based on the shoddiest of evidence, or the political ambitions of a DA.
On Friday, Feb. 25, 1983, 10-year-old Jeanine Nicarico was abducted from her home in unincorporated Naperville home, brutally raped and slain. Investigators narrowed in on a trio of Aurora mopes: Alex Hernandez, Stephen Buckley and Rolando Cruz.
The case was built on unreliable statements by would-be informants and contained no physical evidence against the defendants. When it became clear the men would go to trial, Du Page County Sheriff's Detective John Sam, who helped lead the investigation in the early months, resigned from the department in disgust.
Cruz and Hernandez were convicted on Feb. 22, 1985 and sentenced to death.
That same year, Aurora resident Brian Dugan was arrested for the brutal rape and murder of 7-year-old Melissa Ackerman of Somonauk. He confessed to that sex crime and a series of others, and he offered a detailed admission --though not a formal confession -- to the Nicarico murder.
Cruz and Hernandez were not exonerated until 1995.

The Democrat Party "IS" a Perpetual Fraud. There will never be a defense or excuse for their behavior for is would be the same as admittance of guilt to all the lies past and present , election and voting fraud and the essential aid of their democrat Media to win them elections. They can only continue to deny and smokescreen what is right out in the open for anyone to see. Those that they have yet to brainwash , payoff or corrupt and the ability to be honest that is.
It is insane and unrealistic to think that the Democrat Party can ever be ethical , honest and transparent let alone say it for all the world to hear.
