By Not Kowtowing to Columnist Blowhards, Penn State is Finally Moving On
Black Shoes Diary ^ | 1-10-14 | Devon Edwards

At some point, you almost have to wonder if maybe this isn't about James Franklin, that it's really about Penn State, that these schmucks would have had a problem with anybody we could've tabbed to coach our team, that they would've found some dirt on Al Golden or Mike Munchak or even Larry Johnson, that it's really a cause for their affronted wrath when we win a damn game or two, or threaten to become the national powerhouse we once were. This university can do no right, because then what would they have to write about?

The only good news is that, finally, after two long years of catering to those voices, our administration is no longer afraid of offending them. They're as exasperated as we are. They're willing to fight back, if albeit silently, and to do right by us all.

By Saturday, James Franklin will be the head football coach at Penn State. I'd tell Dodd and Brennan and Olbermann to take that and shove it, but the sad thing is, I really doubt they even really care.

Well, if the shoe fits, wear it. But I am only talking about the Paterno/Sandusky apologists. Or do you propose that what went on in that locker room was OK? Really?

Don't be a boorish shmendrick! NO ONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND IS DEFENDING THE PEDOPHILE MONSTER OR HIS ENABLERS!!! But, there are many people who love Penn State, as you ought to know. Grown-ups make a distinction between the two.

“Those of us who hate evil don’t originate these posts, dumbphuque.”

Maybe you’re the evil. You certainly sound like it.

“But thanks for playing. Hope you don’t have any young male children or grandchildren for Paterno and Sandusky and FlJoePa and their pedophile followers to abuse.”

Well, since Paterno is dead, and Sandusky is never going to get near another child, and they have apparently no “pedophile followers” I think there’s not much chance of that happening in any case.

“Are you seriously a practicing Catholic?”

Yes.

“Because that’s not at all obvious from your comment.”

Sure it is. I hope you get the mental help you so clearly need.

One of Sandusky’s enablers was Joe Paterno.

Another of Sandusky’s enablers was a Penn State leadership that placed winning at football over moral decency.

Do you really stand behind that statement you made?

Or not?

Choose carefully.

Non-sequitur.

Look it up if you don’t know what it means.

Read the post above please. The lead prosecutor (Fina) says, in his own words, that he found no evidence that Joe did anything wrong. Facts are facts. Your opinion is coming off as some sort of jealousy.

Of course I stand by all I said—it was common sense truth, after all. But, I see you have a cloud in your mind that apparently keeps you from recognizing normal discourse, and you’re not going to leave your cloud. Good luck with that.

Out of curiosity, why do you think it is your position to claim Paterno never had any knowledge of anything?

I know what it means. And I still think you may be the evil. You’re making things up out of thin air and attacking people who dare to post differently than you like.

As I said, I hope you get the mental help you so clearly need.

What is that, exactly? Can you describe this “cloud” that “keeps me from recognizing normal discourse”? And what is this “normal discourse” that I don’t recognize, EXACTLY?

Because your statement sounds to me like the kind of vapid bullshit that might be put forth by someone who doesn’t have any real argument to stand upon.

But, hey, maybe I’m wrong.

I’ll await your well-reasoned, well-articulated reply.

Why?

Because I oppose that which is evil, and also oppose those who embrace it and apologize for it?

Explain.

Does that really make any sense to you eyedigress? That a man so devoted to young people and their futures would knowingly turn a blind eye to the abuse of kids? Really?

You don’t think there may be another explanation?

Fina’s opinion is not a fact, it’s Fina’s opinion.

Your opinion is coming off as some sort of jealousy.

Jealous of what, exactly?

And what opinion? I hate evil. Pedophilia is evil. Those that facilitate and enable evil are, themselves, evil. Paterno aided and abetted evil. Penn State governance, aware of evil, abetted it. For what? For a stupid game.

No jealousy. Righteous anger, yes.

I am going by the briefs that were released to the court.

The gentleman that witnessed it said he approached Coach first, after that he went upstairs.

All ignored.

It came home.

“Why?”

Because what you’re doing is evil: “You faggot loving boy-raping proponents are beyond disgusting. How do you filthy vermin sleep at night? That’s what I’d like to know.” To accuse innocent people of being “faggot loving boy-raping proponents” and “filthy vermin” is evil.

“Because I oppose that which is evil, and also oppose those who embrace it and apologize for it?”

1) You’re not opposing evil in this thread, you’re spreading it. 2) Accusing innocent people of being “faggot loving boy-raping proponents” and “filthy vermin” is not opposing evil. 3) No one here is embracing or apologizing for evil except you.

“Explain.”

Done.

Really? This was a dream from somebody?

You can keep your JoPa mugs and blankets as you watch PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY gladly give out 200 MILLION DOLLARS for no damn reason.

Get real.

>> Done.

Wrong. Because you never showed that those embracing evil are, in fact, even opposed to said evil, let alone not contributors to this evil.

Evil is evil, and evil MUST be opposed WHEREVER it arise.

Or do you claim that homosexual pedophilia is not evil? Please make your position on this important question clear.

You're incredibly uneducated on the complexity of this case.

I would suggest the following links if you really want to know the truth:

Ryan Bagwell

Ray Blehar

John Ziegler

If you don't want to invest the time to learn what has happened, it's understood. But maybe you should consider lowering your voice and tempering your accusations.
