Backlash at Duke

I didn't follow the Duke Lacross debacle very closely, but am familiar enough with it to know that it followed the 21st centruy American tragedy script:

  • Some kind of human tragedy takes place
  • There are acts of varying degrees of immorality on both sides
  • People from various existing political persuasions take advantage of the situation, the cloudy facts and the morals to exploit innocents and further their own agenda.
  • For reference, see Columbine, Terri Schiavo and the "Global War on Terror"

After we found out that much of the hype was a complete scam, some conservatives on the Durham campus are not letting folks off the hook that easily. Powerline has it all covered and linked up.

Hats off.
