In the hours and days that followed the arrest, a string of friends and Socialist allies stepped forward to defend a man they insisted could not have done such a thing. Jean-François Kahn, a well-known journalist, said he was "practically certain" that what had taken place had not been an attempted rape, but "an imprudence… the skirt-lifting of a domestic". Jack Lang, a former Socialist culture minister, wondered why, when "no man had died", Strauss-Kahn had not been released on bail immediately. Philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy, meanwhile, raged against a legal system that had treated DSK like "any other person". "Everybody," declared the philosopher, "is not everybody!"

Sad how many ostensibly "conservative" FReepers sound exactly like these openly socialist, rapist-defending scumbags, ain't it...?

Must be one of those hyphenates----balkanized separatists who put their hidden agendas over and above everything else.

Hyphenation-separation is NOT the American way of life.

Anything that hyphenates should be declared persona non grata in America.
