Rolling Stone Retracts Article on Rape at University of Virginia
It's good to know that a popular national magazine can defame an entire college campus and there will be no consequences for those involved. There is more at the link if you are inclined to read the rest of it."Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." ― C.S. Lewis, God in the Dock: Essays on Theology (Making of Modern Theology)Tags: None

Sailer has a good one:
Originally posted by Steve SailerDear Editor, I am 42 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Haven Monahan. Papa Jan says, “If you see it in The Times, it’s so.” Please tell me the truth, is there a Haven Monahan?
-Sabrina Rubin Erdely
Sabrina, your little friends are wrong. …
Yes, Sabrina, there is a Haven Monahan. He exists as certainly as hate and privilege and patriarchy exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its purpose: to destroy. Alas! How dreary would be the world if there were no Haven Monahan! It would be as dreary as if there were no Sabrinas. There would be no politically correct dogma then, no hoaxes, no slander to make tolerable this existence. We should have no blood libels nor ensuing pogroms, no nights of broken glass.
Not believe in Haven Monahan! You might as well not believe in transgenderism! You might get your Papa Jan to hire interns to watch in all the fraternities during Rush Week to catch Haven Monahan, but even if they did not see Haven Monahan coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Haven Monahan, but that is no sign that there is no Haven Monahan. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see Tawana Brawley being gangraped by white policemen? Of course not, but that’s no proof that Crystal Magnum wasn’t right. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the gangrapes there are unseen and unseeable in the world….
Is it all real? Ah, Sabrina, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.
No Haven Monahan! Thank God he lives and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, Sabrina, nay 10 times 10 thousand years from now, he will continue to make tingle the hamster of womanhood.

The girl is either just an outright liar, or she suffers from some sort of borderline personality disorder, where she makes up stuff to get attention and sympathy, and it backfired on her when the story went national.

This is has been the narrative from the left for a while. Rampant rape on University campus. But think about it - who would be doing the raping? Well yes, the boys that were schooled largely in government schools. The liberal controlled education system. So are the liberals pumping out rapists? Has their moral relativism just come home to roost? Or is it all just BS?Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

Relax, the victims had privilege, you're allowed to abuse people designated privileged"Some people feel guilty about their anxieties and regard them as a defect of faith but they are afflictions, not sins. Like all afflictions, they are, if we can so take them, our share in the passion of Christ." - That Guy Everyone Quotes

Knowing how liberals think, the reporter no doubt feels that she told the "right" story even if the facts were wrong. Remember, as far as a liberal is concerned, the only thing that matters is the seriousness of the accusation. Whether or not it's true is immaterial.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
Than a fool in the eyes of God
From "Fools Gold" by Petra

Originally posted by Sparko View Postthere are conservatives that think that way too though. I saw a fake article about how the KKK made a black baker make a cake for them. It was published on a lot of conservative news and blog sites, but it was completely phoney and not many people researched it. When it was pointed out to some of them they used the excuse well the story might be fake but the point was valid.
Not saying it's right, just not sure it's totally analogous.

From what people are saying, it seems Phi Kappa Psi will be filing a lawsuit against Rolling Stone. I guess there will be consequences after all. Good for them."Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.
