Can 88 Duke Professors All Be Wrong?

The infamous Duke lacrosse players have been cleared of all charges. But there are still some loose ends hanging around. What will happen to District Attorney Nifong, the prosecutor who abused his office to pursue a blatantly political case? What will happen to the New York Times, a newspaper that willingly served as judge, jury, and executioner of the lacrosse players simply because it could get away with it?

Most of all, what will happen to the 88 Duke Professors--the pampered sinecured monkeys who took it upon themselves to declare the lacrosse players guilty, and demand their expulsion from school? What will happen to those assholes who let their insignificant political ideas lead them to verbally libel and abuse students at their own university?

Unlike Don Imus, none of the 88 professors has apologized for what was basically an assault on the legal system. One of the 88 is an English professor named Karla Holloway. She is chair of the Race Subcommittee of Duke University President William Broadhead’s Campus Cultures Initiative. Shouldn’t she resign?

The three young men face huge legal bills and will have the stain of false accusation with them forever. The 88 faculty professors face no sanction for their behavior at all.

The Duke president, no profile in courage, canceled the lacrosse season and fired the coach. As recently as a few months ago President Richard Brodhead was still defending the 88 professors who trampled on the presumption of innocence, going so far as to describe some of them as victims, too.

Worst of all, this story so neatly fit the radical agenda of our "newspaper of record," The New York Times, that the paper disgustingly advanced the hoax on its front page, long after other media outlets had backed off.

In a case of "all the lies fit to print," the paper on Aug. 25 affected an air of Timesian authority in a damning article, spoon-fed by DA Nifong. It tried to put to rest some of the alarming inconsistencies in the accuser's story about the night she was "attacked."

"While there are big weaknesses in Mr. Nifong's case, there is also a body of evidence to support his decision to take the matter to a jury," quoth the Times. And, "The full files, reviewed by The New York Times, contain evidence stronger than that highlighted by the defense."

Will the Times make reparations now?

The shit-throwing monkeys at the NY Times, and the monkeys on the Duke faculty, are apparently made of the same material.

The double standard that allows these monkeys to hound and abuse innocent students into severe legal debt and ruination of reputation, but drives an inconsequential radio/TV clown like Imus off the air for a poorly considered joke, is something that an intelligent society would take a long hard look at.
