A Lapse of Character
"It’s an illustration of the fact that character — good character — is not a constant. Character is dependent upon the situation. Probably any one of us could be faced with a situation at some point that would test our good character and we would prove wanting. And that has happened to Mike Nifong. But the fact that it has happened and the fact that we have found dishonesty and deceitful conduct requires us in the interest of protection of the public to enter the most severe sanction that we can enter, which is disbarment...It’s been truly — a fiasco is not too strong a word. But it could have resulted from a lapse of character of practically anyone, not just in particular Mike Nifong." - DHC Chair F. Lane Williamson

Truthtelling in Durham
There will be a National Day of "Truthtelling" in Durham, North Carolina, this Saturday. No, I am not making this up. When I first read this, I thought perhaps the Feds would be descending en masse, surrounding City Hall and the Courthouse, and letting no one leave until the extent of the corruption and criminal wrong-doing in both places was fully exposed. Apparently, that is not the case ... or not yet anyway. The National Day of Truthtelling, according to a quick look at some of the sponsoring participants on their website, appears to be just another feel-good/flex-flaccid-muscle day for the usual suspects: your friendly neighborhood Marxists, your Professional Victims, a few women who never got over not being invited to Prom, and some guys whose Mommys make them bang pots instead of play ball. Yes, there are even a few once admirable organizations in the list, but they have sadly defined themselves by the company they choose to keep and by their sorry actions in the Nifong-Mangum Hoax. Looks like the parade route will take the participants past the Lacrosse house where, if they make enough of a nuisance of themselves, they may actually succeed in getting Ms. Mangum her day in court ... albeit as a defendant. In the spirit of truthtelling, perhaps we need Crystal Mangum criminally charged and finally exposed to put these Pot-banging minds at rest...
I wonder a bit about the public relations strategy of the folks planning this event though. What member of Mensa suggested Durham, North Carolina, as the home base for any event with "Truthtelling" in its title? With Durham's current national notoriety, it might have been prudent to move the locale to someplace with a better reputation for veracity and accuracy. Perhaps Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, the home of the sometimes credible Phil the groundhog, would have been an upgrade. Right now, "Durham" and "Truth" seem to be mutually exclusive entities. In Punxsutawney, at least once in awhile, the groundhog can be believed.
For the past year, the whole nation has watched as Durham's Homeland Credibility Threat Advisory spiked into Red Alert. At some point, a color coded warning should have been attached to any statements emanating from any of the local "leaders". The Durham power structure seems to be replete with two types of individuals - the deluded liar and the deliberate liar. I don't mean to imply that all the cast of characters we have observed fit into one of these two categories ... No, not at all. Some, by their silence and inaction, are merely enablers of liars. But all of the above are pretty scary, considering the power they did and DO hold. And, folks, they're all STILL THERE, on the job in Durham, North Carolina to this day.
Be that as it may, the National Day of Truthtelling will soon come to pass in Durham. Oh, the heady anticipation! Beyond the requisite march, banners and bluster, one wonders what else we may be so fortunate to observe? Will that great local Truthteller, Sgt. Mark Gottlieb, be on hand, perhaps running a "Pin One of Crystal's TALES on the Lacrosse player" illegal lineup for charity and recreation? Perhaps Linwood Wilson, the Capo-regime of Witness Intimidation will be entertaining the crowd with some righteous gospel music? Can we expect to see Crystal Mangum crowned Truthtelling Festival Queen surrounded by her runner-up court of Bob Ashley and Samiha Khanna? Will City Manager Patrick "She only told one story!" Baker be there to cast his credibility at the feet of his favorite demented local sex worker as her float passes City Hall? Will Judge Orlando Hudson, the latest Hero of the Cause, be carried jubilantly on the shoulders of the crowd? And will that Capo di tutti Capi, the Godfather of all greedy, corrupt morally debased legal Mafioso. D.A. Michael Nifong stand on the Courthouse steps to salute the other "Truthtellers" as they pass in review?
One can only imagine.
In any event, there is something about the concept of a Truth-telling Day that is downright infectious! In that spirit, we pose the following questions, and ask that these noted Truthtelling participants (you just KNOW they're going to be there!) show their own true colors. Truthtelling marchers and preachers, show your own personal veracity, and honor their glorious cause by giving, for once and all, ... straight, direct answers to the following questions. You may E-mail us here at LS with your honest replies. We await your noble display of your own PERSONAL integrity.
Proposed List of Questions for Truth-Telling Workshop:
To: Serena Sebring
From the very start you actively promoted on the Trinity Park List-server & on Durham-Responds that these players were guilty of something. Your e-mails into the Trinity-Park were some of the very first. Considering your close relationship with the Duke 88, were your actions coordinated with them? How did Duke University Professor Faulkner Fox contact you about the proposed candlelight vigil? Will you admit to and apologize for misleading a national TV audience and condemning innocent men when telling Nancy Grace there was "clear evidence of some sort of an assault having happened."?

We noticed a picture of you walking away from the Vigilante Poster on a trash can and thought you might enlighten us on your participation. Did you create or reproduce the Vigilante Poster? If you didn't, who did? Do you know who distributed it throughout campus? Are you responsible for the false "fact sheet" distributed at the protests? Will you admit that nearly all of the "facts" on the "fact sheet" were untruths?
To:Manju Rajendran
Considering you were the Leader of the 610 protest, intended, in your words, to confront and "shame" innocent men, don't you think you owe a special apology for the sexual harassment & physical threat caused by the huge "CASTRATE" banner carried outside the Buchanan house? Who made that sign?
With whom did you meet on March 25 at 4:30 pm to plan the protest at 610? Who were the local media members contacting you prior to the protest without your notice to them?
By the way, Jason Bissey says you woke him up with the pot banging. Try to show a little consideration to others along with your zeal.
To: Theo Luebke
As the son of of Paul Luebke, North Carolina House member, do you have any personal regrets for your rush to judgment considering your father's long and impressive career of fighting for Human Rights? Do you have the decency to issue a statement and say you were wrong? Or do you believe you have some personal dispensation to walk through life, attempting to destroy the lives of others, and never look back? What does Dad say?
To: Dasan Ahanu aka Chris Massenburg, Duke Women's Center Sexual Assault Support Services Assistant Coordinator
As a Duke employee and staff member of the Women’s Center, do you have any regrets for your participation in the protest at 610 now that the three young men have been found innocent? Don't you think the cause of women who actually have been raped has been hurt by your support for the False Accuser? Will you repudiate the ridiculous fairytale that "women never lie about rape" as a first step in restoring your organizations credibility?
To: Sam Hummel, Manju Rajendran, Dasan Ahanu, Serena Sebring, and Theo Luebke
As Leaders of the protest movement against the lacrosse team, both on and off campus, why haven’t you issued an apology for your protests against the Innocent Duke Lacrosse Players? Unless you have the integrity to do so, your own integrity is seriously in question. Don't demand "truth" of others, when you don't deal in it yourself! Why are you marching for Truth, when you can't handle the truth yourself?
Finally, a joint question to the group - Did any of you work with the Duke 88 in organizing these protests, especially Duke Professors Houston and Charlotte Baker, Mark Anthony Neal, Wahneema Lubiano, and Thavolia Glymph?
Can we expect any truth, or moral courage or contrition from our organized Truthtellers? Will they accept any responsibility for their OWN mistakes while banging pots to point out the "mistakes" of others? As they march by, I suggest we look closely for the mite in their collective eye. It allows them to self-congratulate themselves without any moral purview or personal responsibility to their OWN actions and mistakes. Without the integrity to admit grievous error, these marches are little more than vanity strolls...ALL ABOUT FEELING GOOD AND IMPORTANT ABOUT THEMSELVES, "sound and fury, signifying nothing."
We see the real measure of a man's integrity, not when he's right, but when he's wrong.
If these noble souls truly care about others, Sam Hummel, Manju Rajendran, Dasan Ahanu, Serena Sebring, and Theo Luebke will be carrying a banner together Saturday saying:
TO THE INNOCENT DUKE LACROSSE TEAM: WE APOLOGIZE!
And Heaven knows, maybe they will.
If there's one thing we've learned, in Durham these days, anything is possible.
And, that's the truth.

Dear Duke Police...
Duke Profs Receive Racist E-Mail After Lacrosse CaseDear Duke Police,
Durham — Duke University police are investigating death threats against professors who questioned racial attitudes on campus a year ago, shortly after a black woman accused three white Duke lacrosse players of sexually assaulting her.
We read the above article concerning allegations of e-mail threats to the Duke 88. We hope you are investigating this matter thoroughly. The sending of hateful e-mails is strongly opposed by our blog and other blogs who supported the innocent Duke Lacrosse Team. No one should ever receive physical threats.
As you know, Reade Seligmann received death threats while walking into the Durham County Courthouse. Those were recorded on national TV. Do you know if those who were shown making those threatening remarks were ever questioned by the Durham PD or Sheriff's Department? During the first weeks of the Hoax, some lacrosse players mentioned they were threatened on campus. Duke lacrosse coach Mike Pressler also received death threats generated by this Hoax. Did you ever investigate the threats to Coach Pressler and the lacrosse team?
Enclosed is a picture of a physical threat to castrate the inhabitants at 610 N. Buchanan. It occurred between 9:00 am & 10:00 am on Sunday, March 26, 2006. Those inhabitants were members of the Duke University student body. The angry protesters were chanting loud demands that the members of the house get out of town. The physical threat was undeniable.
As you can see, it was a rather large sign that required two protestors to carry it. Have you investigated this obvious threat, considering it is about 2 ft high X 10 ft long with Capital Letters "CASTRATE"?Also, I do want to let you know that news crews from WRAL-TV were there at the site interviewing the protesters. Since they wrote the article, maybe they can show you the video they shot to help you identify the threateners.
PS: Your police were there too! Here is a picture of one of Durham's patrol cars (#500), and it appears the officer is talking with two Duke police officers ... one uniform and one Duke police badge are visible, with another Durham PD officer standing by.
If you need help in identifying who was there, I am sure the Duke 88 will be happy to name their graduate students who actively participated.Yours truly,
Baldo
and Your Friends at LieStoppers

For What?
."I believe we serve the university best by serving the news media well. It's in Duke's enlightened self-interest to work effectively with the media. Invariably there will be negative stories. One of the questions you always have to ask when you have a negative story is how to keep it a one- or two-day story as opposed to a one- or two-week story. The best way to do that is to be direct, to be honest, to be transparent in discussing it...
"The general value system of a university should suggest that it's unafraid to discuss controversial issues, even when those issues may be perceived as affecting us negatively. It's important to provide some context, some understanding as to why a university has taken a particular action or why it has to defend a particular faculty member's right to say something or do something. Universities occupy a very special place in society. This is one of the few places where controversial issues are discussed openly and where all points of view are invited." -- John Burness, Duke University Senior Vice President for Public Affairs

Lara Loves the Hoax
It's a challenge I'll admit it!
She's tough to canonize!
What a pity ALL that DNA
Is from ALL those other guys!
.
But it's the duty of the media
To let agenda obscure fact!
Despite all the hideous challenges...
We must keep Crystal's victim hood intact!
.
Sister Samiha set the course for us.
Strippings a "performance obligation."
And Crystal's comments ripping Kim
Were suppressed to advance creation
.
Of a shy-new-dancer, sweet persona
That was Oh, so far from fact!
But we were committed from the beginning
To keep Crystal's victim hood intact.
.
When the neighbors tried to tell the truth
Our little college friend did a save,
Wouldn't report the "unsavory" details
Of the wayward pole-dancing maid.
.
Suppression, omission of all we've learned
Need to keep "Our Agenda" clear.
Do you like my one sided propaganda piece?
Keeping Crystal's victim hood revered?
.
We don't care too much for truth.
We don't need to state the facts
All that exculpatory evidence
Just takes OUR storyline off track.
.
Boo! Hoo! Pole dancer's traumatized!
Strangers scare her so!
Don't MENTION she handled strangers well...
Up on motel row,
.
So if she can't express herself
Maybe the surroundings don't suit her vibe!
Send the SP's to the Platinum Club!
Help us keep Crystal's victim hood ALIVE!
Joan Foster

Dean Sue Gets Off Her Chair
Dean Sue Gets Off Her Chair.
It only took a year, my friends, to get Dean Sue off her chair.
It only took a year for a small gesture that she cares.
Those vigilante posters SUDDENLY have poor Dean Sue distressed...
Dean Sue is "completely motivated to make sure this is adequately addressed!"
.
Think back to when the posters were on every campus tree...
Inflaming passions so very negative, some players had to flee!
Did Dean Sue castigate the wording, the very guilt they seemed to stress?
Oh well...NOW she's "completely motivated to make sure this is adequately addressed!"
.
As a board member of Crimestoppers did she publicly decry
The pronouncement of MOST CERTAIN GUILT...or ask who? or what or why?
Did she ever have a moments care, that the team faced such duress?
Hallelujah!, NOW, she's "completely motivated to make sure this is adequately addressed!"
.
I liked to say respectfully, it's too little..,much too late.
A day late, and a dollar short...to step up to the plate.
Your betrayal, and your callousness...ah-h-h...but I digress...
At LONG last, Dean Sue is "completely motivated to make sure this is adequately addressed!"
.
You didn't speak when the boys were smeared on those posters far and wide.
You didn't speak when all the world was inflamed by Fantastic Lies
NOW, YOUR name has been appearing in the blogs and in the press!
NO doubt it's made you"completely motivated to make sure this is adequately addressed?"

On Monday, March 13,2006 about 11:00pm, the Duke University Lacrosse Team solicited a local escort service for entertainment. The victim was paid to dance at the residence located at 610 Buchanan. The Duke Lacrosse Team was hosting a party at the residence. The victim was sodomized, raped, assaulted and robbed. This horrific crime sent shock waves throughout our community.

How do we solve a problem like Mike Nifong
The State Bar Chorus Sings:
.
How do we solve a problem like Mike Nifong
Now that he's got the whole world looking in?
Do we say that he's A-ok?
We do these things everyday?
We allow ANYTHING to get the State a win?
.
How do we solve a problem like Mike Nifong?
If only he'd kept his sorry act in town!
But 75 times or more...
He shot his mouth on his media tour!
(Thank God!, Jay Leno must have turned him down!)
.
How do we solve a problem like Mike Nifong?
He says he can't remember where he was!
Should we assert these are not "lies"
Like Crystal, he's traumatized!
So of course his memory's morphing into fuzz!
.
How do we solve a problem like Mike Nifong?
He responding to ALL that he's done nothing wrong!
And of course, his defiance implies
In the past we averted our eyes...
He's implying the Bar would usually play along!
.
So-o-o, how do we solve a problem like Mike Nifong?
He's become Carolina's national disgrace!
So... as we are judging His Hoax...
WE ARE UNDER THE MICROSCOPE!
The fool has put us in a tricky place!
.
He's wants us to tell the world that he is blameless!
North Carolina law supports the things he did!
He wants us to canonize him
Absolve, or perhaps advise him,
And send him back to Durham, with a grin!
.
How do we solve a problem like Mike Nifong?
It's unlikely we can get the Fool to budge!
He ruined three kids to stay in place
But...we COULD use our USUAL saving grace...
Appoint him "administrator" or make the man a judge!
.
How do we solve a problem like Mike Nifong...?
Oh-h-h-h, how do we see manure and call it...fudge!!!
