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.
