Free Clara Harris! (Farah finally goes off the deep end)

Free Clara Harris!

Clara Harris loved her husband. She loved her family – the family she and David Harris, an orthodontist, had built together.


Clara Harris

When she discovered her husband was carrying on an affair with a co-worker, Gail Bridges, a divorcee with three children of her own, she worked hard to rebuild the marriage.

When her husband told her July 24 he was breaking off his affair with Bridges at a dinner engagement that evening, Clara Harris was hopeful and elated.

She hired help to watch the children for a couple days and announced she was leaving to go bring her husband back home.

But, as a woman spurned once, she was not naive. She checked with a private detective she had hired to watch her husband and learned he was not at the Houston restaurant having dinner with Bridges. Instead, the creep was at the very hotel at which Clara and David Harris had married on Valentine's Day 10 years earlier.

Even Lindsey Harris, David Harris' 16-year-old daughter from a previous marriage, was incensed at her father's treatment of her stepmother. Tearfully, she decided to accompany Clara Harris for a confrontation with the creep.

Clara Harris caught up with David Harris and Bridges in the hotel lobby. She threw a few punches and ripped the blouse of the home-wrecking wench. The creep stood by – apparently afraid to intercede in the fight. A hotel clerk had to break up the fight.

As Clara Harris was escorted from the hotel, the creep mustered the courage to shout to her: "It's over! It's over! It's over!"

This time, the creep was right.

When David Harris emerged from the hotel and tried to get in Bridges' truck, Clara Harris hit the gas on her Mercedes and ran over Harris, shearing the passenger door right off the home wrecker's Navigator. She ran over him a few more times to make sure he was dead.

Then, she apologized to the creep and told him how much she loved him.

Clara Harris is on trial for murder in Houston.

I say: Free Clara Harris. We need more women like her. Live like her.

There is no accountability any more for the kind of wanton irresponsibility David "The Creep" Harris showed toward his wife and his children. There's no penalty any more for adultery, for abandonment of one's spouse and children. The state doesn't get involved – except to divide up the property and sort out custody issues. No one is punished.

And that, I believe, is why America's families are crumbling at such an alarming rate.

People are no longer accountable to anyone. They don't believe they are accountable to God. They don't believe they are accountable to their spouses. And they don't believe they are accountable to their children. They are not accountable to the state, as no-fault divorce laws have made certain.

Since everyone is abdicating responsibility and accountability, there are sure to be more incidents like the Harris affair.

If I were on that jury, I would find Clara Harris not guilty. After she was sprung, I'd give her a medal. She did the world a favor. She may have acted emotionally. She may be sorry for what she has done. But, frankly, she did the right thing. That creep deserved what he got.

Apparently I am not alone in my thinking on this. Even "The Creep's" own parents have stood by Clara Harris' side through this ordeal.

Free this woman now and let her rebuild a life with her poor children – who have been victimized enough by the trauma instigated by the dead creep.

Free her and let her be an example to every cheating husband and wife in America. There is a price to pay. Sometimes it's the ultimate price.

Anyone can make a mistake. Anyone can be tempted into sin. But the creep had a second chance. Now let's give Clara Harris a second chance.

Unless I'm missing some kind of over the top sarcasm from Joe, I'd say he's finally lost his mind. He seems like a very intelligent journalist, despite wacky statements in the past.

But if we are going to institute the death penalty for adulterers, and handing out medals to their executioners, I don't think there's enough gold in the world to fit the demand.

I certainly hope he is kidding.

Funny, but I thought it was Farrah Fawcett from the "Burning Bed."

Anyway, he's right that we've lost a moral compass in this sick country of ours. But I don't think that murder by Mercedes is the answer.

As this is WND, don't bet on it.

He should be imprisoned for inciting violence (I also believe that dems should be imprisoned for inciting theft).

Farah sounds like a loon in this piece.

Hopefully he's not coming down with Huffingtonitis.

The National Enquirer and The Star are veritable paragons of respectability compared to WorldNetDaily.

Reply to post #1: I feel for Clara, but you can't legally let people go around killing people and not punish them. If I was on the jury, I'd convict her of manslaughter in the lowest degree and give her 3 years in prison. It would punish her but not ruin her, and she would get out in time to still raise her twins.

In a sense, I understand his point. A marriage is supposed to be a legally binding contract. Maybe a cheater should spend some time in jail or something. However, the wife instead of getting herself in trouble by running down her husband could have just taken him to court. Aren't wives able to get decent divorce settlements if the husband was a cheater?

Yikes, Joe, even Clara admitted her coldness drove the guy away. Maybe you should consider the trauma caused the little girl who was trapped in the car screaming while her stepmom murdered her Dad.

Farah must have taken a stupid pill before he wrote this article.

It's too bad most states now prohibit "alienation of affection" lawsuits. Then Clara Harris would have had grounds to sue the other woman.

But if those lawsuits were allowed, the courts would be jammed with litigation involving the Clintons.

Not so fast Joe. Clara was not David's first wife. The step daughter was 6 years old when Clara and David were married. How do know Clara was not the home wrecker of David's first marriage?

She wouldn't be the first women who had an affair with a married man, broke up the marriage, got married, and then --surprise-- he has an affair with yet another women.

What's wrong Clara? You're shocked that he had a roving eye even though he broke up another marriage to be with you? You thought that you were so special that his serial philandering would end with you?

Ironic and sad, but not enough reason to kill someone.

Very good and true point.

I agree with your sentence.

Adultery destroys lives by leaving children without an intact parental family. It, too, is violent. That is Farrah's point.

I wonder if Farah would approve of some of his favorite congressmen being murdered by their wives?

The take on this and comments are incredibly dense.

It's not sarcasm, but yes, you folk are missing something.

Give her a medal, throw her a parade.

You take it literally? And you call Farah dumb!

Yeah, for once I'd say that Mr. Farah has finally gone off the deep end. There is simply no excuse for murder & Mrs. Harris knew exactly what she was foing when she ran over her hubby several times. C'mon, Joe.....you can write about more important matters.

Do you have information that indicates otherwise? I haven't been following the case. I'm assuming you do since you continue with this accusation...

If you have a better idea of what Farah is trying to say, then why be coy about it? Why not post your take on it? Otherwise, your post as it is adds nothing to the discussion.
