Oh, brother...this could have been forgotten by everyone but the likes of us observant conservatives in about a week -- but now, things are going to get uggggly.
You may remember that in the Tawana Brawley case, she was initially believed by the media majority to have been truly raped and beaten. Her mother made the now-infamous charges against the law enforcement figures in the area (including Harry Crist and Steven Pagones), but then refused to be questioned by the police. That's when Al Sharpton stepped in, giving her "sanctuary" at some church, and refused to allow police inside to interrogate her.
In this case too, people who know the truth are leading blindly faithful supporters on, and they will be loath to admit when they discover they have been duped.
I am not sure how I want this to be resolved -- quickly, so we can get it over with, or in a long, slow, dragged out scandal, so the idiots who leap to defend her will be exposed and shamed.
BTW...it was also on radio station KHVN that Lee Alcorn, the former President of the Dallas branch of the NAACP, made these remarks last year regarding the selection of Joe Lieberman as Gore's running mate:
Speaking on a gospel talk radio show on station KHVN on Monday, Alcorn said: "If we get a Jew person, then what I'm wondering is, I mean, what is this movement for, you know? Does it have anything to do with the failed peace talks?"Alcorn continued, "So I think we need to be very suspicious of any kind of partnerships between the Jews at that kind of level because we know that their interest primarily has to do with money and these kind of things."
