The phrase 'SPLC-designated hate group' sounds as if the SPLC is an official body which can 'designate' things. http://fairus.org - a campaign for less immigration - and many other undeserving causes have been mislabeled thus by the SPLC. <br /><br />The FRC's words are indeed hateful - the SPLC does sometimes tell the truth. But the its legal successes might have more to do with money than truth. And the anti-white prejudice which you exposed at Duke.Jay Knottnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-22372367376650848962012-05-14T19:18:34.223-04:002012-05-14T19:18:34.223-04:00To the 9.45:

Nor am I aware of any pending lawsuits against the SPLC filed by the FRC or any of the organization's supporters. In general, the truth is a good defense against any slander of libel lawsuits, as the FRC's attorneys doubtless informed them.kcjohnson9https://www.blogger.com/profile/09625813296986996867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-8080026479559352462012-05-14T09:45:03.532-04:002012-05-14T09:45:03.532-04:00I'm surprised to see the co-author of 'Pro...I'm surprised to see the co-author of 'Proven Innocent' and this blog using the term 'SPLC-designated hate group'.

Obviously that is something the administration at Duke does not do and the faculty doesn't even comprehend.<br />I wish the families of the three INNOCENT LAX players would file suit on the individuals involved. I would love to be called for that jury. Anyone who has ever been fishing in the country knows how the worm squiggles when the hook goes in.

Furthermore, she took obviously false testimony from Tonya's ex-husband and portrayed it as being true.<br /><br />(The ex-husband during the custody hearing after Tonya's acquittal admitted under oath to preparing false documents so he could qualify for a federally-sponsored mortgage. And he has admitted to telling other lies under oath during the criminal trial. Also, his testimony during the trial was 180 degrees different from previous testimony he had given under oath.)<br /><br />My point is that Murphy not only is a liar, but she seems to gravitate toward people who are pathological liars like Mike Nifong. And why journalists will cite her as an "expert" speaks to the depraved state of the American media today.William L. Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01802990642236807359noreply@blogger.com
