re: #47 Charles Johnson

It’s obviously a right wing site. This is exactly what I was talking about. The “fake rape” meme is becoming a mainstream right wing opinion.

It feels odd to defend Dark, but in this case, did you read the entire PH post that Dark linked to? If anything, I took it that Ken White (proprietor of Popehat) was saying to let the legal system determine guilt or innocence, not private parties.

#Teamharpy’s supporters seem to suggest that Murphy should rely on the goodwill of the librarian community, not the legal system, to vindicate him. If there’s truth to the accusations against him, he should get legally curbstomped. But if there’s not, why should he rely on the goodwill of a community that apparently wants to define him as guilty by dint of having been accused? Does this sound like a community that will judge him fairly?
