Duke's Dunces

Houston Baker, a Duke English Professor certainly wasn't shy about weighing in on the Duke rape case controversy:
Houston Baker, a Duke English professor, demanded in an open letter that the panicked Duke administration do more to stop the "drunken white male privilege loosed amongst us" by expelling the entire lacrosse team and its coaches.

Bigot.

Or how about this stoop:
"A lot of people get focused on her identity, and we kind of lose a little bit of how this is a crime against women," said Robert Korstad, a history professor at Duke.

"People are using this [issue] to advance their own agendas," Kunkel said. "A girl was probably raped. She should be the one getting the attention and the support."


Should we ignore the fact that 2 Duke students have been charged with a crime that they in all likelihood did not commit.

I'm interested in the evidence you apparently have that the accused did not commit the crime. Unfortunately, you make no mention of it in your blog entry. Please correct that oversight. Then, your conclusion that the lacrosse players are definitely innocent might make sense. Currently, it doesn't.

I dont profess infallible knowledge about the case nor did my post say I did. But the defense attorney for Seligmann has shown me a timeline for the period when the DA says the rape occurred. He was a very bizzy and he wasnt a rapin. The photo ID's are shiite (see my earlier post) and the purported victim's credibility is threadbare. If you believe her, fine, have at it. Can you spell T*a*w*a*n*a.

Also, I am not a news source, nor do I pretend to be.

You believe the defense attorney before the trial. Now that's really living in reality. No wonder.

Talk about being way off base, ido, this post came way before the disclosure of the rape accuser's earlier accusations. Read and date a post before you snark about it.
