Well, expect a right wing assault on Conyers over this.

My read on it is that there are two people in the family who won't take shit from anybody.

[rateyes]

1. Yeah, the Repigs will try to jump on this...

which will just make John that much more determined to put # behind bars where he belongs. I say, if indeed that woman was drunk and Monica was defending herse, then that woman got off easy and she needs to STFU before she finds herself in legal trouble.

[Flubadubya]

2. I hate this...

Bless the Conyers. John really doesn't need any negative publicity. DAMN! You suppose this woman who attacked her was a plant? I wouldn't be at all surprised. Well, at least it's not as bad as being "Wellstoned". :shrug: :eyes:

[rzemanfl]

3. Gee, do you think our government would stoop so low as to do

that? Another explanation is that maybe the woman needed some money and knew that every right-wing talk show would be waving money in her face to appear if she could pick a fight with Mrs. C.

At least this happened at the best possible time for a bad story to break.

4. Now this just sounds like a lie:

Mews, who appeared on WDIV-TV on Thursday with a black eye, denied she was intoxicated. Mews said that when Conyers began speaking to her date with her back to her, she tapped her on the shoulder and said, "Pardon me."

"She turned around and began yelling at me," Mews said. "When I began yelling back at her, she punches me in my left eye several times," Mews said. "I never struck her. Never once did I hit her."




Ever notice that when people tell their own version of a story, they always end up having done absolutely nothing wrong?

"I just tapped her on the shoulder, and she freaked out!"

:eyes:

10. There were witnesses though

I don't know the story at all but I believe there was a judge and a lawyer involved as well along with others in the establishment. I think Mrs Conyers is in the wrong for striking the person but I think she was highly provoked. She will probably settle a suit out of court and that will be the end of it..We have to guard against letting our anger get the upper hand over our wits....

12. Like our "establishment" is above setting someone up....get the

judge's name and watch the federal judicial appointments. See who the next U.S. Attorney is. I don't trust anything anymore.

[ComerPerro]

5. Somebody please watch the FReepers and other forums. I can't wait

until all the racists come back out into daylight.

I love it when we get to see a glimpse of how they truly feel.

They disguise it while fawning over people like Powell and Condi, but when stuff like this happens you get to see how bigoted they really are!


:popcorn:

[rzemanfl]

6. What skin tone is Mews? n/t

[ComerPerro]

7. Don't know.

[madokie]

8. so she grabs her by the whatever and repeatedly punches

her in the left eye. I see kkarl rove's fingerprints all over this altercation and report.

[rzemanfl]

11. Ali in his prime could not "repeatedly" punch someone in their

left eye. Who is this Mews woman? I googled the name but only found some cop in Yorkshire.

9. It's not like she used her car to kill an ex-boyfriend
