Where did that four-eyed freak, Keith Olberman, come from?

[Straight Vermonter]

ESPN just had John Ford from Court TV on saying how smart it was to have David Evans speak out the way he did.

[OldFriend]

Your imagination has run away with you. You compare that biased bigoted woman with Tiki Barber?

I have never heard a biased comment from Tiki Barber in any context.

[INSENSITIVE GUY]

ESPN is upset because the"white boy"would not roll over for them!White males are the most persecuted gender and race in all of America.This entire case is nothing more than a political and racist trial just as they all are.The false accuser should be put on trial for what she has done!

[OldFriend]

ESPN found this bigot in Philadelphia. That's all we need to know.

[Darnright]

Deborah Robinson sounds like the "activist" yesterday who wanted a gag order put on David Evans' attorney.

These people are dispicable. They want these players crucified, and it doesn't do their position any good for the country to see them as normal, good people.

[OldFriend]

The feminazis.......ah yes, the same ones who were outraged that slick willie would be getting bj's from a young intern in the oval office.

[FreedomPoster]

I took his post as more of a "contrast" than a "compare".

former Philadelphia prosecutor Deborah Robinson is no newcomer to the wonderful world of legal anal-ists. Here she is, on TV with Nancy Grace, commenting on what else? The Michael Jackson jury.
___________________________________________________________

"NANCY GRACE: Deborah Robinson, former prosecutor, what about the 12 in the box?

DEBORAH ROBINSON, FORMER PROSECUTOR: Look, I think it`s a very fair jury. What he`s saying is he`s saying that black people can`t be fair. That`s not true here. They are not giving them any credit. Look, they work. African-Americans have morals. They know right from wrong. And for that matter, nobody can really identify with Michael Jackson.

GRACE: Well, the other issue, well, if he`s going to act like this -- take a look at that, Deborah. I call that the horn shot. That was during the Tommy Mottola debacle. Remember that lawsuit?

But back to the jury, either side didn`t use up their jury strikes. They hardly touched the jury strikes.

So, Deborah, if the defense didn`t like this jury, they could have kept striking until they get to the back row. They wanted this jury.

ROBINSON: I totally agree with you. They picked the jury. They thought this jury was fair and impartial. They picked the jury. This is a fair jury."

"I'm wondering why the other two boys haven't come forward and said the same thing before they got him. It just doesn't add up to me," the accuser's father said. "

AV's father speculating that Reade and Collin might be guilty since they didn't speak out about their innocence.

One could see the liberal bias in the Zulu princess' comments. I said this before, the jury for these Duke players will be all black and there will be a railroading like never been seen before for the sake of PC. An outrageous decision will make the Tawana Brawley or O.J. Simpson cases look like a misdemeanor.

[OldFriend]

LOLOL.....do you get the feeling that ESPN received some feedback with regard to their Philadelphia analyst! LOL

[Biblebelter]

There was a shift yesterday in how FNC covered this case. On Brit Hume Mort Kondrake revealed that he was good friends with Evans parents and then proceeded to say that this was the worst case of prosecutorial misconduct that he has ever seen. Tucker Carlson said that Federal government should send someone down to NC to straighten this prosecutor out. Dan Abrahms show has become nothing more than a forum for public ridicule of Nifong as a prosecutor. As I commented on another thread, does anyone think that this accuser has any creditibility when the Sharpton and Jackson the two biggest race pimps of all time sniffed around and disappeared. If the accuser and her family had any leg to stand on, they would still be in Durham looking for any TV camera with a red light on. Witches like Clinton defender Wendy Murphy and evidently amateur race pimps like the one mentioned in this story are the only ones understanding that a 90 per cent identification of man who had a mustache but who in reality never has had a mustache put this prosecutor on island of legal ethics that even the Sharptons and Jacksons want no part of.

[OldFriend]

Nancygrace-less and this nitwit. Perfect together.

"Odd - I don't recall [Deborah] Robinson similarly condemning DA-cum-candidate Mike Nifong for his 70 press interviews and his public assertion that he believes the accuser - which of course amounts to accusing the defendant's of the crime. Guess outrage only works one way for ESPN's "legal analyst."

I doubt she would. Justice, in the eyes of some bigots, runs only one way. History has already taught us that.

[Jane Austen]

You are right. I've seen scores of cases. Scott Peterson, Michael Jackson (he was even cheered for doing it) declared loud and clear that they were innocent. Prosecutor Deborah Robinson has led too shelter a life for the job. Or perhaps Robinson has memory problems.

[CedarDave]

Yes, maybe I should have used the word "contrast" rather than "compare", but I believe my intent was clear.

[zerosix]

ISn't ESPN part of ABC or one of the BS networks?

[caver]

Her race shouldn't matter and I shouldn't even have thought of it, but this whole case reeks of racism. I'm tainted by the media storm and probably wouldn't be a fair juror.
