Paterno managed to take a shameful situation and make it more shameful -

[hedgehog]

I saw him facing the press apparently at his house. Next to him was his wife, who looked scared and lost. Now, I have no idea of what Mrs. Paterno's health status is, but it sure looked like he was hiding behind a sick woman!

1. That is his legacy

I can't get my head around these clowns talking about how his legacy is tarnished. Got news for you Don Shula It is his legacy, he owns it because he allowed the rape of children FFS!

18. his wife looked terrible, poor little thing. I am sure she can't figure

this out. I wish her well in this mess.

2. The Daily Show was right on when they showed a picture of JoePa with a bishop's hat photoshopped on.

Joe's halo sure has slipped and now the horns can be seen.

3. He wasn't the one diddling little boys

Give it a rest.

4. May as well been for all that he cared

Now go back to your corner

Do you know that he wasn't? I didn't think so

14. Stop with the witch hunts. NO ONE has accused Paterno of molesting ANYONE.

Give the self righteous indignation a rest.

17. Joe paterno knew so he is as culpable as anyone involved

Now go away and leave me alone. K

19. That's bullshit logic

And no, you don't get to post controversial opinions on a public message board then have everyone "go away and leave you alone". that is not how this works.

[madokie]

20. What did I say that is bullshit logic

I stated fact only

[TheWraith]

5. No, he was just covering it up and actively enabling the rape of little boys.

You're right, that's so much more moral. :eyes:

8. What newspapers are you reading and what television coverage are you viewing...

in your alternate universe?

9. Oh really? So when he heard boys were being raped in his shower, he went to the police?

Or he made sure that the administrators did? Or he notified the rest of the board at Second Mile, where he was a director, of the allegations?

When you look at the evidence, there is no plausible scenario where Paterno did NOT know what Sandusky was doing, and he actively avoided reporting it to the police, and helped keep it quiet.

15. You were on the grand jury?

[Bluenorthwest]

10. So do you always call raping a child 'diddling'?

I see lots of people try to play that off. Sounds charming, really, compared to rape by force. Diddling. Is that how you phrase it in other rape cases?

[Zoeisright]

13. Tell that to the little boys he DID NOT PROTECT.

Christ. What is wrong with some people?

[Whisp]

16. diddling?

how utterly and totally disgusting you would describe such an assault on a small child mere diddling.

fucking sick.
