Inside Info: Is Larry Sabato a partisan in disguise?
self | 09-27-06 | WL-Law


Posted on 09/27/2006 11:53:22 AM CDT by WL-law


Many are questioning whether Larry Sabato's issued, then modified, then somewhat-withdrawn accusations against Sen. Allen amount to Sabato unmasking himself as a democrat partisan, posing as an impartial observer.

I can add one new fact that I have personal knowledge of, one that is somewhat curious, and potentially relevant.

Here it is: the person that Allen referred to as "Macaca", the person who was stalking the Allen campaign, is one of Sabato's students, in Sabato's class at UVA. I don't know whether this fact has been disclosed anywhere.

Hmmmmmmm.............

He may have criticized Clinton once or twice, that does not make him bipartisan.

If he's a professor, he's a partisan hack. With the exception of Walter Williams, you can take this to the bank.

I enjoyed Newt's response to Alan Colmes when posed this question yesterday. After calling Sabato a lefty, Colmes said "No he isn't." Newt said "So, then why did you ask me the question?!"

Sabata has lost all credibility with his uncorroborated attacks on George Allen.

Is it that hard to sue the pants off of some reporter for slander or libel? If the report is only based on heresay and gossip, then to print it should be considered libel. Basically, no publication in this land should be allowed to print information that could be considred libelous unless they cite first person witnesses or accounts. Otherwise, there should be a minimum fine,at the least, and the opportunity for the harmed individual to take the publication to the cleaners. If this were the case, the NYTs would have been out of business years ago.

What little credibility he MAY have had after the '04 election cycle is totally gone........

I may be dense but I still believe Zabato is trying to be fair. He misunderstands much of what he does and he fails to realize how he's being used. But. I am not convinced he's doing any of this as a partisan hack.

Jack has been in this business too long to know that the definitive statement he made about Allen was done to hurt Allen. As a result he will now be known as what he really is... a partisian HACK.

I wish I had his office phone number.
Anybody got it.

But "Homosexual Jack" has such a nice ring to it!
Actually the REAL scandal is Webb terrorizing blacks in Watts by pointing the fake guns at them. I would have paid to see Webb and his idiot friends getting beat up by that pissed off black guy.

I have a little inside baseball on this. The guy became a student after the controversy. Though the way he did so is rather interesting.

Sabato's PoliSci classes are so in demand that prospective students have to write an entrance essay in order to be considered for the class. While other students slaved away at their keyboards, the student in question did a little less work. He simply turned in an "essay" composed entirely of this one sentence: "I am macaca."

He was accepted into the class...
