Racist Nifong Resigns

Race Card Nifong Resigns

So where is the OUTRAGE from the Leftinistra that Nifong used the race card to further his political aspirations and destroyed the lives of the innocent? So the racist Nifong is gone.

What are the blog trolls going to do now? Certain blog trolls hailed Nifong as the hero that fought the Big bad White Man. One of them has a blog at Townhall because IT got booted off of the MIT (Moonbats In Training) blog hosted by the RINOs of the GOP.

Who will be the Hero of Blog Trolldom now?

Where is the outrage of the Sharptons, the Jacksons and other similar and equally racist charlatans? Everyone knows that the worse racists in America are the members of the Leftinistra Party. Where is the outrage?

“…It’s clear why: Because he was in the midst of a tight re-election battle - and could gain votes by inciting racial tensions in an already charged case. To the point where he deliberately withheld exculpatory evidence from the defense, and then lied about it to the judge…”

UPDATE:

Blue Star Chronicles begs the question:

Many of the blogs I’ve read make this a conservative versus a liberal issue. I don’t understand that. It has to do with justice, honesty, decency and the integrity of our judicial system. I would think all Americans would want our system to work for equal justice for all. It SHOULDN’T be a race issue - either way.

Exactly so…the Sharptons and the Jacksons and similar and partnered bigots and racists turned this into a race-card charade and an extreme injustice was served. Where are their apologies or are they too “good” for that? Will they stand by their White Sambo?

UPDATE:

ABC News:

County District Attorney Mike Nifong has been found guilty by the North Carolina State Bar for a battery of ethics violations in the Duke Lacrosse case.

The penalty phase of trial began Saturday afternoon. Nifong’s punishment could range from a written reprimand to disbarment. He already announced Friday his intention to resign as district attorney.

The bar’s three-member disciplinary panel unanimously found Nifong guilty of fraud, dishonesty, deceit or misrepresentation; of making false statements of material fact before a judge; of making false statements of material fact before bar investigators, and of lying about withholding exculpatory DNA evidence.

Moron. I hope he can sleep well…NOT!

UPDATE!!

ABC News:

County District Attorney Mike Nifong has been disbarred after being found guilty of a battery of ethics violations for his handling of the Duke lacrosse investigation, a North Carolina Bar disciplinary committee announced Saturday evening.

“We are in unanimous agreement that there is no discipline short of disbarment that would be appropiate in this case,” said F. Lane Williamson, the committee’s chairman.

Before the panel announced its punishment, Nifong said he believed disbarment would be appropriate and that he planned to waive all rights to appeal the findings of the bar panel, his attorney David Freedman said in court Saturday afternoon.

“He hopes that in light of his accepting his punishing it will restore some of the confidence in the criminal justice system,” Freedman said. “You have some semblance of relief when this is all over, regardless of the outcome.”

Let the Blame Bush begin…(?)

UPDATE!! What about Nifong’s Enablers??

Mike Nifong is all but gone - resigned as Durham County district attorney and disbarred by the North Carolina Bar Association for his attempt to railroad three innocent Duke lacrosse players on rape charges.

But what about the other members of the lynch mob?

Like the Durham City Council, whose members charged that the Duke lacrosse team “has been a ticking time bomb that has not been dismantled.” Or the area residents who picketed with “wanted” posters of all 46 team members and signs that read, “Don’t be a fan of rapists.”

And what’s to be done about the most outrageous perpetrators of all?

Namely Duke’s Gang of 88 - the faculty members (more than 10 percent of the entire staff) who signed a contemptible public statement that not only assumed the players’ guilt but hailed the “collective noise” that led Nifong to file his dubious legal charges?

“What Does a Social Disaster Sound Like?” asked their manifesto, citing the purported attack as proof of the “racism, sexism, sexual violence and homophobia” on Duke’s campus.

Even after the charges had been proven false, many of the signers remained unapologetic - insisting “the legal process will not resolve” the continuing problem of all those “isms” on campus.

Or the university’s president, Richard Brodhead - who not only refused to stand by his own students, but canceled the lacrosse season, suspended the accused players and pressured the team’s coach (a 16-year veteran) to resign?

Meanwhile, the rest of the Duke faculty - save for 17 courageous members of the economics department, who publicly disavowed the Gang of 88 - remained silent, afraid to speak out.

Yesterday, the university reached a financial settlement with the three falsely accused players, avoiding a lawsuit.

But no one has taken steps to remedy the cowardly school leadership that caved to the pressure of a politically radical faculty demanding that the legal rights of the accused be trampled on.

Sadly, what happened at Duke is typical of American academia these days.

That’s been especially obvious of late at Columbia University - which, after months of hand-wringing, finally decided that a thuggish assault against a politically unpopular campus speaker deserved only the gentlest of wrist-slaps.

Indeed, it took an entire week before President Lee Bollinger acknowledged that seizing the stage to silence a speaker “does constitute a disruption” of free speech - and even then, he insisted that was only “my personal view.” And this from a university president who is known as a specialist and scholar on First Amendment free-speech rights.

Of course, he’d earlier trampled on the rights of pro-Israel students who complained they were routinely harassed for their views by pro-Palestinian professors.

What’s happened at Duke and Columbia constitutes just the latest examples of how the American academy has been turned into a giant P.C. playpen - where genuine academic debate and the exchange of ideas have long since given way to hard-left polemics and the rigid enforcement of leftist doctrine.
