Can The Left Come Up With One True Story?

Yesterday, up on the stair,

I saw a rape that wasn't there,

It wasn't there again today!

Oh why, oh why did it go away ...

From the Duke lacrosse team, the Columbia mattress girl and the University of Virginia, the left has not been able to produce one actual rape on a college campus. It's beginning to look as if the rape of the Sabine women never happened, either. Someone's going to have to go back and investigate.

The big finale to the latest college rape fable, Rolling Stone's whimsical "A Rape on Campus," about a fraternity gang rape at the University of Virginia that never happened, is the Columbia Journalism Review's "investigation" of the story, released Sunday night. It's more of a house of mirrors than a finale, inasmuch as CJR's report is so preposterous that it demands its own investigation.

The CJR treats "reporting" as if it is some sort of learned craft, requiring years of study, as opposed to basic common sense. For example, if someone has an incredible story that he's dying for you to publicize, but loses interest every time you try to confirm any of the facts, a normal person would say: Oh, that's because it's probably a lie.

The real victims (yes, VICTIMS) of these false rape allegations need to go after the perpetrators who have slandered them.

They need to get into them for some MAJOR damages and punitive $$.

Hang a carcass on the fence. Show these liberals that all lives matter.

"the left has not been able to produce one actual rape on a college campus"

That is a idiotic, incorrect, and dangerous statement. To downplay or outright ignore rape on college campuses is ridiculous, given how often it happens. At the University of Maryland College Park, there were 19 forcible sex offenses on campus in 2013. Every Univ deals with this type of crime.

But hey, don't believe me - look it up for yourself http://ope.ed.gov/security/index.aspx

This is an Ann Coulter column which explains a lot. Rape does happen and is real and sometimes women falsely accuse men of rape. Neither decent liberals nor decent conservatives want rapists to get away with their crimes.Sometimes women just like men are mentally unbalanced. I think it is safe to say that is likely the case with Jackie, It might be worth mentioning that we all can be fooled by a sociopath.
