IMUS SUIT DROPPED

DAN MANGAN

September 12, 2007—A Rutgers basketball player who sued radio host Don Imus for calling her team “nappy-headed hos” has dropped the defamation case less than a month after filing it, The Post has learned.

Kia Vaughn gave no explanation in her “voluntary discontinuance” of the suit against Imus, his sidekick, Bernard McGuirk, and corporate radio and television partners, which she submitted Thursday in Bronx Supreme Court. Her lawyer could not be reached for comment, and Imus’ lawyer declined to comment.

[...]

Interesting.  I see a pattern here; after playing the race card(Imus), the “white privilege” card(Duke Lacrosse players) the gay card(Mark Foley) or the “mad bomber” card(Richard Jewell), with the resulting MSM blitz, it turns out there is no “there” there.  Much later, out of the glare of the MSM klieg lights, it turns out that no charges are filed, that the accused is not guilty of anything alleged.  No apologies are issued, no comparable publicity is given to the actual facts, and the MSM sweeps it all under the rug, while they get ready to do it again.

Disgusting.

You assume an awful lot.  How do you know they didn’t just reach a settlement?

ou assume an awful lot.

No assumptions necessary.  Do you really maintain that Richard Jewell, Mark Foley, the Duke Lacrosse players are really guilty of anything, and that would go unreported?  It’s the smear tactic of the MSM in action.  If any real crimes had been committed in any of those cases, we would know about it.  The reason they don’t report the final result is that it exposes them for the liars and fabricators they really are.

From your 4 examples:

1.  Don Imus:  You have no idea why the case was dropped.  It could of been becuase Imus settled.

2.  Duke Lacrosse Players:  The dropping of their charges got alot of media attention.

3.  Mark Foley:  A congressman who was sending inappropriate e-mails to House Pages.  It was news

4.  Richard Jewell:  He got screwed.  It should of been front page news when the FBI dropped the charges. 

Batting 1 for 4 is even bad in baseball. If you want to prove a theory get better examples.

1. Don Imus: You have no idea why the case was dropped. It could of been becuase Imus settled.
She dropped the suit with no comment.  That’s all you know.  The rest is just you refusing to accept reality.

2. Duke Lacrosse Players: The dropping of their charges got alot of media attention. Not anywhere near the intensity or duration of the accusations, not to mention the penalties assessed on them during the false accusation period.  Makes my point.

3. Mark Foley: A congressman who was sending inappropriate e-mails to House Pages. It was news
That “news” was never proven, only alleged, which again makes my point.  The fact that there were never any charges brought against him also makes my point.  It was a typical MSM use of gay smear against a Republican for purely political purposes, which makes my point.

4. Richard Jewell: He got screwed. It should of been front page news when the FBI dropped the charges.

No theory involved, except for your guesswork about Imus. While .250(your claim) is a decent batting average in the majors, my real BA is at least .750, which is beyond Hall of Fame.  Actually, I batted 1.000, and you know it.

My guesswork?  I was just pointing out that you had no evidence.  I have no idea why the case was dropped.  You are the asshole making the assumptions.

I doubt you can find one person who followed the case who does not know the outcome.

That “news” was never proven, only alleged, which again makes my point. 

You want a criminal conviction for Foley.  That is not the standard we hold public officials to.  It is a matter of public record that he inappropriately e-mailed pages working for the House.  Whether it was actually illegal based on the age of the page is irrelevant to the ethical issue.

My guesswork? I was just pointing out that you had no evidence.The evidence is that she abandoned her case.  Your guess was that there was a settlement.  It is you who have no evidence. I have no idea why the case was dropped. You are the asshole making the assumptions.You describe yourself.

Not anywhere near the intensity or duration of the accusations, not to mention the penalties assessed on them during the false accusation period. Makes my point.

I doubt you can find one person who followed the case who does not know the outcome. I repeat, it’s about the duration and intensity of the false accusations, compared to the scant coverage of this outrage.

That “news” was never proven, only alleged, which again makes my point.

You want a criminal conviction for Foley. No, I don’t, since he did nothing wrong, other than to be a gay Republican. That is not the standard we hold public officials to. It is not the standard that Dem public officials are held to, and you know it. It is a matter of public record that he inappropriately e-mailed pages working for the House.
Whether it was actually illegal based on the age of the page is irrelevant to the ethical issue. Your selective ethics; he was smeared as a political tactic, when he broke no laws.

Not so might Hawk has struck out.  There is no joy in Mudville tonight.

That should be “Not so mighty Hawk has struck out.”

More on Imus: Remember, the whole thing came right in the middle of the sh*tstorm of lies from the MSM about the Duke “rape” case, and so playing the race card was getting a lot of juice.  Imus made a fairly innocuous remark, and was crucified for it, just like the Duke players were crucified for being white.  In addition, to collect civil damages, you have to prove and quantify the damages, and there were none, so the suit was doomed as soon as the truth came out about the Duke case.  Everyone in the MSM was ashamed of being found out to be liars about the Duke case,(until the next time, of course) and there was no more “juice” behind overinflated playing of the race card, especially in a case so utterly trivial.
