POSTER CHILD OF PC
Re: Bill Croke's
America's Second-Best Idea:
I watched parts of Parks. As interesting as this Burns' program
was, the air of political correctness throughout was too much for
me to take. Sad that this very talented person is a poster child
of the PC culture.

GENERATING THE VICTIM MENTALITY
Re: Steve McCann's
Does the Left Have a Sense of Decency?:
Wonderful column! The author captures brilliantly the methodology
by which the "race hustlers" try to convince minorities that
everyone is a racist. This attitude has been a destructive force
and generates the "victim" mentality seen today.

To Dan Martin above:
If your comment was made tongue in cheek, you failed miserably.
If you were attempting humor, you failed miserably.
None of the above? You are simply disgusting, and in serious need of calibration for your moral compass.

Gretchen, did I read correctly? Did you just cheer on rapists?
Indeed, most rape in this country is performed in prison, probably mostly against weaker prisoners, with the quiet approval of the populace putting us on level with, or perhaps even below, Saudi Arabia. If rape is "ok" sometimes, there goes our moral superiority...
Indeed, the horrid prison conditions in the states may be used as an argument at Polanski's extradition hearing.

The Top Ten Stupid Dave Tricks
10. He had sex with a subordinate employee.
9. He had sex with a subordinate while in a committed relationship and/or marriage.
8. He had sex with more than one subordinate employee.
7. His self-described creepy behavior was revealed by him as if part of a comedy routine.
6. The confession in “So what?” form was preceded by a typical joke critical of unfaithful politicians.
5. He manipulated the audience into laughing about his self-described terrible behavior.
4. After he made the laughter disappear with his confession, he made it reappear with a mock self-mocking about his sex partners having their reputation hurt by the revelation they’d had sex with him, as if it were less attractive rather than more attractive to have sex with such a powerful boss.
3. On a national comedy show, he hurt his mother and son and wife, who is also a former subordinate employee sex partner.
2. He pulled the curtain back on the fact that his regular self-deprecating remarks are even more justified than people realized.
1. He hadn’t booked for the night the former employee sex partner who once came back to the show and made embarrassing references to their former sex life.

First of all Gretchen never said anything of the kind. Second, most of the rapes in the USA are perpetrated on women and of those it is estimated that only sixteen percent are reported.
As far as what will happen to Polanski, if and when he is incarcerated, he will be isolated from the general prison population, not because he will be raped but because he would be killed.
Two point four percent of women attending a University or College report being raped; not counting the assaults that go unreported, that small segment of our citizenry alone accounts for far a far greater number of rapes than occurs in the entire prison population of the USA.
In one short post you have proved to us that you cannot comprehend what you read, you know nothing of the subject to which you speak, and you sure do not know anything about prisons.

Roman Polanski. You can't spell RaPe without RP.
Ask OPRAH about rape. I read she got her Polanski at 9 years old, was a runaway and pregnant at 13 , baby at 14, and her baby died an infant. So, I guess being Polanskied doesn't mean your whole life is ruined. OPRAH? Comments?

I don't have loads of time to read so excuse me if I missed it, but has The American Spectator retracted the false remark that Patrick Gaspard was employed by ACORN? If so, please tell me where I can read that.
