Torture Advocate Alan Dershowitz Implicated In Sex Slave Lawsuit [View all] 99th_Monkey Jan 2015 OP

no fucking way? I hope juxtaposed Jan 2015 #1

It's not on many nooz sites yet, but is on "Veterans Today" 99th_Monkey Jan 2015 #3

Veterans Today is a hate site. zappaman Jan 2015 #7

Is NY Daily News a hate site too? nt 99th_Monkey Jan 2015 #41

No, but the site you linked to is. zappaman Jan 2015 #43

Because 99th_Monkey Jan 2015 #115

Thanks! zappaman Jan 2015 #117

"hate" site? Looks like its a NUTJOB site!! 7962 Jan 2015 #46

The math says you are quick to come to the defense of Dershowitz . rhett o rick Jan 2015 #50

It's hardly a defense of Dershowitz to point out that a hate site isn't the most credible source.nt msanthrope Jan 2015 #59

The math says I pointed out a hate site zappaman Jan 2015 #60

Pointing out "hate sites" seems to be more important than discussing the issue. rhett o rick Jan 2015 #65

Aw, you think hate sites should be linked to DU? zappaman Jan 2015 #68

I just think we need to keep perspective. Raging about a link to a hate site rhett o rick Jan 2015 #71

I don't know, Rick? zappaman Jan 2015 #72

If you support Alan Dershowitz you can tell us. nm rhett o rick Jan 2015 #102

What are the charges? n/t zappaman Jan 2015 #106

That he is a Dersbag. How do you feel? rhett o rick Jan 2015 #107

I feel pretty good. zappaman Jan 2015 #108

Of course it is a distraction. As for the naming of Dershowitz in that law suit, I think it's sabrina 1 Jan 2015 #83

+1 dmr Jan 2015 #116

hate sites aren't ok, unless they call themselves parodies? or hate sites are ok, unless NewDeal_Dem Jan 2015 #78

Ok zappaman Jan 2015 #79

The only new thing about this thread was the link to a hate site muriel_volestrangler Jan 2015 #113

Good,with that out of the way, what do you think of Dershowitz's support for torture? sabrina 1 Jan 2015 #81

I think it has nothing to do with the OP zappaman Jan 2015 #82

It definitely has something to do with his willingness to overturn our judicial for SOME people. sabrina 1 Jan 2015 #84

No it doesn't. zappaman Jan 2015 #85

He doesn't need a system to defend himself. LisaL Jan 2015 #89

He disagrees with you. He is angry that he cannot use the judicial system to defend himself. sabrina 1 Jan 2015 #92

Like the accusations against Cosby made in court documents and TV. Why the double standard? Fred Sanders Jan 2015 #101

Message auto-removed Name removed Jan 2015 #109

He was on CNN prior to the terrorist attacks TexasMommaWithAHat Jan 2015 #14

You might not want to use VT. NuclearDem Jan 2015 #53

He has come out very forcefully that he didn't do it. hrmjustin Jan 2015 #2

Really? Surprise surprise. 99th_Monkey Jan 2015 #5

So freaking what? LisaL Jan 2015 #6

That's a hate site. zappaman Jan 2015 #9

Not that there is anything wrong with spreading hate, protected free speech, right? Fred Sanders Jan 2015 #17

I find your obsession with the spread of "hate" some how ironic. rhett o rick Jan 2015 #70

What's the issue, Rick? zappaman Jan 2015 #73

The progressive approach if one disagrees with the OP would be to address the issue. rhett o rick Jan 2015 #74

I already told you I believe in innocent until proven guilty. zappaman Jan 2015 #75

Really? You mean just when Dershowitz is concerned because you favor him. rhett o rick Jan 2015 #77

Let us know when he's been charged, Rick. zappaman Jan 2015 #80

I, for one, am glad to hear you're not a hypocrite. DisgustipatedinCA Jan 2015 #126

If he's imprisoned, it's by choice. zappaman Jan 2015 #127

You'll need to supply the answer, as you're the one talking about prison. DisgustipatedinCA Jan 2015 #128

You said "free Assange" so I assumed he was in prison zappaman Jan 2015 #130

Assange is completely free. Donald Ian Rankin Jan 2015 #142

UK Mirror? 99th_Monkey Jan 2015 #48

yep. somebody was posting garbage from that site on a friend's facebook page. m-lekktor Jan 2015 #49

I am not a fan but he said he would wave statue of limitations on it. hrmjustin Jan 2015 #10

Veterans Today is another hate site. grossproffit Jan 2015 #12

Yeah, he says he waives the statue of limitations TexasMommaWithAHat Jan 2015 #8

I am not a fan of the man but he did come out swinging. hrmjustin Jan 2015 #11

That means nothing one way or another. BillZBubb Jan 2015 #31

Maybe to you. LisaL Jan 2015 #32

What does it mean to you? BillZBubb Jan 2015 #34

Maybe to you. LisaL Jan 2015 #36

And any rational person. BillZBubb Jan 2015 #38

How do you know what it would mean to a rational person? LisaL Jan 2015 #42

That means that he clains his innocence. hrmjustin Jan 2015 #33

You would expect him to admit guilt? BillZBubb Jan 2015 #37

point taken. hrmjustin Jan 2015 #39

Is it failrly common? LisaL Jan 2015 #44

No. DemocratSinceBirth Jan 2015 #97

I believe him when he submits to torture. Hassin Bin Sober Jan 2015 #61

The statute of limitations can only be waived by the legisislative body that created it. Jesus Malverde Jan 2015 #135

Oh for crying out loud. LisaL Jan 2015 #4

Being accused is a long way from being "busted." NaturalHigh Jan 2015 #13

Tell that to Cosby. Fred Sanders Jan 2015 #15

Cosby isn't exactly busted since he is running around free as a bird. LisaL Jan 2015 #18

"Busted" has several meanings.......?? A secret being exposed is also "busted", no? Fred Sanders Jan 2015 #19

Anybody can be accused of anything. LisaL Jan 2015 #20

Not sure what you mean. Of course it is. Cosby was also "busted", do you feel the same.. Fred Sanders Jan 2015 #21

I am not sure what you mean. LisaL Jan 2015 #23

Busted! Fred Sanders Jan 2015 #64

Cosby hasn't personally addressed the charges beside making a crude joke about rape./NT DemocratSinceBirth Jan 2015 #93

Exactly. I don't hear Cosby screaming from the rooftops about his innocence. LisaL Jan 2015 #94

Oh, so you have to shout your innocence or you are obviously guilty? Fred Sanders Jan 2015 #104

Different strokes for different folks, and Cosby is not a lawyer...this is weak stuff, man. Fred Sanders Jan 2015 #103

You have to be an officer of the court to refute a lie? DemocratSinceBirth Jan 2015 #118

I like you 99th_Monkey, but that's a pretty low fucking bar for "busted". nt Bonobo Jan 2015 #16

"Busted" changed to "Implicated", just for you. 99th_Monkey Jan 2015 #143

Here's a Guardian article... He also hired PI's to try to discredit one of Epstein's accusers.. SomethingFishy Jan 2015 #22

Seems like a standard defense in that sort of case. LisaL Jan 2015 #24

I would expect anyone with a modicum of decency to back the fuck off SomethingFishy Jan 2015 #26

Dershowitz is a lawyer. His modicum of decency disappeared years ago. BillZBubb Jan 2015 #28

Yeah and apparently much of DU's along with it. SomethingFishy Jan 2015 #29

dershowitz has always been scum imo. but he's popular at DU. NewDeal_Dem Jan 2015 #54

I haven't said anything about "righteous." You are the one trying to imply that LisaL Jan 2015 #30

I'm not implying anything. At the absolute least SomethingFishy Jan 2015 #35

I didn't know all this. thanks for posting this. hrmjustin Jan 2015 #40

So Alan Dershowitz, Bill Cosby and Giraffe walk into a bar... R. Daneel Olivaw Jan 2015 #25

Lawrence O'DONNELL lashed into him last night (about something else) n/t UTUSN Jan 2015 #27

Yeah, Dershowitz kept saying "France rewards every terrorist." SunSeeker Jan 2015 #55

This was a smear. former9thward Jan 2015 #45

And anything said about Bill Cosby so far wasn't under oath Omaha Steve Jan 2015 #52

No, cosby's accusers are given 100% credibility here at SelectivePolitics-land. NewDeal_Dem Jan 2015 #86

Wait for it... Omaha Steve Jan 2015 #88

You don't have to be under oath to defame someone DemocratSinceBirth Jan 2015 #95

Not sure what you mean. former9thward Jan 2015 #96

I meant is either accusation more of a smear than the other to the public? Omaha Steve Jan 2015 #105

I think the shear number of accusations against Cosby former9thward Jan 2015 #110

that is actually not true dsc Jan 2015 #112

I don't like the guy, but the accusations are not credible and are baseless bluestateguy Jan 2015 #51

how so? roguevalley Jan 2015 #56

Where is the proof? davidn3600 Jan 2015 #57

when the trial if it comes the proof will come. that he is digging dirt on the accuser is a roguevalley Jan 2015 #58

If someone made false child abuse claims against you, you would likely be digging dirt too Democat Jan 2015 #62

What trial? LisaL Jan 2015 #66

Kick elias49 Jan 2015 #63

He's sick when it comes to torture. Jesus Malverde Jan 2015 #67

Yup no need for a trial. zappaman Jan 2015 #69

Torturers and their advocates don't get trials. Jesus Malverde Jan 2015 #111

Personally I would like to see a trial, but I understand how you might feel otherwise. nm rhett o rick Jan 2015 #124

Of course you don't understand sarcasm. zappaman Jan 2015 #125

And I bow to your superior smartness. Now if we can only get you to address actual issues. rhett o rick Jan 2015 #129

Yes, this is such an actual issue for you, isn't it? zappaman Jan 2015 #131

I don't like Dershowitz and not sure why you do. You just won't tell us rhett o rick Jan 2015 #132

Where did I say I liked Dershowitz, Rick? zappaman Jan 2015 #134

Since you won't commit one way or other I had to surmise from your avid rhett o rick Jan 2015 #136

Where did I defend him, Rick? zappaman Jan 2015 #137

Just trying to guess whether you like Dershowitz or not as you won't commit. rhett o rick Jan 2015 #138

You don't like the 6th amendment either. zappaman Jan 2015 #140

A pro-torture guy having sex with a minor and a slave at that? Why does that not surprise me? nt valerief Jan 2015 #76

But he's innocent! Haven't you read this thread? SomethingFishy Jan 2015 #87

I would say he is innocent until proven guilty... DemocratSinceBirth Jan 2015 #99

He's not innocent of fighting to protect a pedophile.. SomethingFishy Jan 2015 #133

If Hitler lived I would have argued he deserved legal representation at Nuremberg. DemocratSinceBirth Jan 2015 #141
