Okay, so the Duke boys were exonerated. I have no problem admitting that I thought they were guilty as sin. They were not, I have apologized for my error, and wish them well.

And I pretty much agree with this one too, even though I doubt that if it had been a white woman accusing a black athlete of rape, that the woman's name would be all over the newspaper like that... Do we even know that woman's name?

But that is the nature of racism in our beloved country.

We have a group of beautiful and intelligent young black women, who happen to be athletes. They are shamelessly attacked by a popular radio host, with the worst kind of sexist and racist dribble, and our friends on the conservative side want to make the debate about Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton.

Eh, its not about either guy, and I would expect the Family Values bunch, to be defending womanhood and respect and all that...

Imus was fired for a reason. His comments were inexcusable. I dont doubt he was a good man, his charity work demonstrates that. I personally think if he would have stepped up as soon as the blunder was exposed, apologized, offered to make a donation to the athletic program of Rutgers, whatever... he may have survived.

Regardless of all of that. I am just amazed at how my conservative friends can wring their hands and cry over the Duke Case, (A case where a bunch of boys admittedly hired a couple of strippers and had a rowdy assed party), NOT EXACTLY examples of family values or virtues... While they ignore the pain inflicted on a bunch of innocent 18 year old women, in order to take a shot at a couple of not highly relevant "black leaders."

Jackson lost most of his credibility with the affair that was exposed a couple of years ago. Sharpton, while entertaining and smart, is an entertainer... It would be nice to see conservatives, especially conservative WOMEN, to be a little more concerned about the young women who were impacted by Imus' statements, rather than simply looking at this as an opportunity to criticize and "expose," a couple of black guys who are fighting to stay relevant in the face of Obamaism...

Of course the racism is pretty thinly disguised, these are people who are still trying to make Obama a clandestine Muslim.

It seems that Katie's staff has decided to join the Fox News slander of Barack Obama (I believe that's the liberal talking point phrase used to describe the reports, based on interviews with childhood friends and acquaintances) and repeat that he "prayed in mosques" as a child. And he prayed in Catholic churches, but it wasn't "serious" prayer.

Sorry Jay ole buddy, it was in the MOSQUE where the prayer was not serious. You need to listen to that one again.
