Brodhead fired the LAX coach, who had done nothing wrong.

...anonymous 1:11 PM, on a letter-writing campaign:<br /><br />It doesn't seem reasonable to me to ask Prof. Johnson to spearhead a letter-writing campaign. He has already done a great deal to advance public understanding of this case (and gives every indication he will continue in this role).<br /><br />Anybody can start a weblog at Blogger or Blogspot. That would be a natural technology for focusing a group of like-minded, geographically-dispersed folks to orchestrate a campaign along the lines you envision.<br /><br />Your 1:11 PM comment shows that you have a good handle on many troubling aspects of this case. There's enough open-source material here and elsewhere to add detail to the level needed.<br /><br />I imagine the prominent blogs covering the Duke Rape Hoax would gladly link to such an effort.AMachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08872008617279528583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-70975831576546294432006-09-29T14:38:00.000-04:002006-09-29T14:38:00.000-04:00To anonymous 9:21

I just think we should stop for a minute to contemplate what it means. Hint: it does NOT mean physical danger, at least not right away. It means that after decades of feministic jurisprudence, the likelihood of a false accusation of rape or sexual impropriety plus the inevitable devastation that follows, makes it insanely risky for a guy to be anywhere in the vicinity. Let's be clear on that point.<br /> If I were a woman worried about having any of my complaints along these line taken seriously I would want to hang M. Nifong. Because there is no other interpretation to place on your comment than that modern women are terrifyingly willing to tell devastating lies about men.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-19223637988919636212006-09-29T13:38:00.000-04:002006-09-29T13:38:00.000-04:00KC: One more thing on the letter writing campaign...KC: One more thing on the letter writing campaign: If we could do it before the Oct. 20 Court Hearing, we could contact national t.v. supporters such as Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson and Dan Abrams and they could let their viewers know where to print the letter and send it out.

As taxpayers and US citizens we have a right to justice. The Department of Justice has enough evidence to step in and go after Nifong and his band of thugs. <br /><br />You have the ability to break this down step by step and unweave the lies and corruption for everyone to clearly see. You have an indepth knowledge of this case and your writing is exceptional. Can you please draft a letter to the US Department of Justice and US Attorney General Gonzales, requesting an investigation into Mr. Nifong and the DPD and their criminal activity. Millions of US citizens have seen their Bill of Rights and Constitution desecrated. This can happen to anyone's son if Nifong is not put in his place. We can print the letter, sign it and forward it to the Department of Justice. The volume alone will get attention. <br /> He has terrorized these young men and their families for way to long. Nifong is a terrorist of the worst kind. For his only cause is himself. The Department of Justice and the US Attorney General need to assert their powers of checks and balances as NC clearly has none. <br /><br /> Nifong has admitted to destroying exculpatory evidence against the judge's orders. He has lied in court in regards to exculpatory evidence about the notes taken at the institute the accuser was going to be committed at. He has broken numerous police procedural codes and codes of his office as DA. He has conducted an unconsitutional lineup. The list goes on and you know them all.<br /><br />As long as NC is still a state in this country, it should abide by the Constitution. The Federal Government has the oligation to all taxpayers to see that the Constituional rights for every citizen is protected. <br /><br />Thank you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-18063378882652137502006-09-29T11:18:00.000-04:002006-09-29T11:18:00.000-04:00To 12:47 AM poster who wrote - What can readers o...To 12:47 AM poster who wrote - <I> What can readers of your excellent blog do, if anything, to bring justice to this case? <br /></i><br /><br />Here is something everyone can do: <br /><br /><a href="http://recallnifong.blogspot.com/">http://recallnifong.blogspot.com/</a> <br /><br /><a href="http://recallnifong.blogspot.com/2006/08/re-campaign-contributions_10.html">http://recallnifong.blogspot.com/2006/08/re-campaign-contributions_10.html</a> <br /><br /><a href="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=help%40recallnifong%2ecom&item_name=Committee%20to%20Recall%20Nifong&item_number=76%2d0834873&no_shipping=2&return=http%3a%2f%2fwww%2erecallnifong%2ecom&cancel_return=http%3a%2f%2fwww%2erecallnifo">Donate by credit card here</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-76632175462122257682006-09-29T09:21:00.000-04:002006-09-29T09:21:00.000-04:00When I read Broadhead started a Campus Cultural In...When I read Broadhead started a Campus Cultural Initiative I knew he was in an ivory tower made of stone. Any students who hire exotic dancers to perform are so studpid they don't deserve to be in any college. If they didn't learn from the travesty of the LAX team, they are fools. We don't need an initiative to make that change. <br />If Duke doesn't already have programs in place to recruit and support minority students, I'd be shocked. This can't be the first time Duke has taken a look at the role race plays in completing a course of studies at Duke.<br />Let the CCI study, meet, discuss, write, and report. Instead of dealing with the matter at hand, Broadhead distanced himself and Duke through an academic exercise. Duke needs to think about how they deal with the local law enforcement officials.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-24187648656054846212006-09-29T06:10:00.000-04:002006-09-29T06:10:00.000-04:00KC, you students are lucky to have you as their pr...KC, you students are lucky to have you as their professor.
