A historic reminder from Maynard
Here’s a FOXNews report from April 15, 2006 about the Duke rape accuser.
It’s always interesting to look back and see who got things right from the start and who had it backwards.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson said Saturday his Rainbow/PUSH Coalition would pay the college tuition of a black woman who alleges white members of the Duke University lacrosse team raped her.
No one has been charged in the case, but the allegations have rocked the community. Jackson has yet to speak with the woman, but said his group pledged to pay for her tuition even if her story proves false.
The woman should be able to support her two children and pay her tuition without having “to sacrifice her body to make money.”
The prosecutor has said he believes a crime was committed at the party, citing a medical exam that found the woman’s injuries and behavior were consistent with being raped.
Attorneys for the players have said DNA tests failed to connect any players to the attack, and they have urged the prosecutor to drop his investigation. But several defense attorneys say they expect the district attorney to ask a grand jury Monday to indict one or more of the players.
But in a phone interview with The Associated Press, Jackson said he believed there was enough circumstantial evidence indicating something happened to the woman.
“There’s more evidence that violence occurred to her than she’s the lead of a hoax,” Jackson said.
Somebody ought to ask the Rev. Jackson whether his organizations have made good on that pledge to pay the accuser’s tuition, or whether they intend to do so in the future. I suppose it would be pointless to ask him to apologize or express regret at the part he played in promoting the slander.
I think we may speculate now that Don Imus raped this woman.
Yes, reverend Jackson, whatever you say–and how is your love child, born out of wedlock doing these days? She ought to be about 9 or so, huh? How does she feel about your organization paying the tuition for Ms. Mangum today?
So you and Sharpton tell us that YOU are the moral guideposts of today? You both are just as covered with slime as is Don Imus, dude.
How I look forward to the day when you mind your own business!
I heard that IMUS apologized to Rodney King, OJ Simpson and Barney…
(haha- Fortunately, I saved my comment!))

Yeah, and on that day a shivering disoriented Satan will show up in St Peter’s Square to complain it just froze over.
I wonder if Duke would accept her if she applied. She does have stellar liberal credentials: making unsubstantiated and false accusations that ruin another person/politician/country (USA)in order to advance your own agenda…
“Somebody ought to ask the Rev. Jackson whether…”
…whether he’s already retained counsel to defend him against the inevitable and thoroughly justified defamaation suit?
I was talking to my father about this issue tonight. Rev. Jesse Jackson & Al Sharpton should personally apologize to the three men, but I’m sure it would be a cold day in hell before you see that happen.
As for Mike Nifong, I hope they sue him.
I would love to see the 2 “reverends” sued for defamation of character by the lacrosse players. Wouldn’t it be sweet to see the master of the shakedown, the rev. hi-jackson get hijacked himself?
I spoke with the pious, drive-by Iman Jihad Jackson in a phone interview at his multi-million dollar estate, and asked him weather his tax-exempt organizations have made good on on that pledge to pay the accuser’s tuition, or whether they intend to do so in the future.
Jackson said he believed there was enough circumstantial evidence indicating something happened to the tuition.
“There’s more evidence that nothing occurred to her than she’s the victim of a hoax,” Jackson said.
I then asked him if he intended to apologize or express regret at the part he played in promoting the slander.
Apparently there was an equipment malfuntion, as his response began, “Shulaanduuh…” and then became an unintelligible artistic expression of English.
The interview was cut short so Jackson could affirm the Duke Admissions Board to reparate the single mother with waived tuition and a package of exceptions.
Keep hope alive!
Wasn’t the Imus thing convenient for Sharpton and Jesse. Lets stir up trouble elsewhere to deflect what assholes we are.
The woman should be able to support her two children and pay her tuition without having “to sacrifice her body to make money.”
Perhaps there is a bigger issue here that Jackson is conveniently ignoring, namely the lack of fathers in the “black community.”
