This just keeps getting stranger. The victim arrived at the party at 11:30 am, and was found passed out drunk in a car in a parking lot of a convenience store at 1:30 am.
Good ol' everclear.

IT's totally bizarre. She supposedly shows up drunk and in bad shape at 11:30 (according to pictures). Her partner calls the cops at 12:15 saying she's being accosted with racial slurs outside the house. And now the accuser is found drunk in a car at 1:30. It all adds up to something, but not a consistent story.

It's a complete mess. Race, class, dumbshit lacrosse players, the District Attorney going too public too far ahead of where the evidence leads him, the whole thing.

Oh, and lacrosse players? In case we didn't know -- assholes.

which means one can't speculate. For example, that the woman had an earlier "job", maybe involving sex, comes to her next job at the house, where the drunk shits start accosting her and probably refuse to pay her because she's in a bad state. She leaves, is pissed at not getting paid, getting called the n-word, and who knows what else, says she was raped, and there we are. But that would be speculation I don't care to make, since all we have is snippets of evidence that are leaked.

This reaches a new level of absurd.


OSU librarian slapped with “sexual harassment” charge for recommending conservative books for freshmen

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Officials at the Ohio State University are investigating an OSU Mansfield librarian for “sexual harassment” after he recommended four conservative books for a freshman reading program. ADF has demanded that OSU cease its frivolous investigation, yet the university is pressing forward, claiming that it takes the charges “seriously.”

“Universities are one of the most hostile places for Christians and conservatives in America,” said ADF Senior Legal Counsel David French, who heads ADF’s Center for Academic Freedom. “It is shameful that OSU would investigate a Christian librarian for simply recommending books that are at odds with the prevailing politics of the university.”

Scott Savage, who serves as a reference librarian for the university, suggested four best-selling conservative books for freshman reading in his role as a member of OSU Mansfield’s First Year Reading Experience Committee. The four books he suggested were The Marketing of Evil by David Kupelian, The Professors by David Horowitz, Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis by Bat Ye’or, and It Takes a Family by Senator Rick Santorum. Savage made the recommendations after other committee members had suggested a series of books with a left-wing perspective, by authors such as Jimmy Carter and Maria Shriver.

Savage was put under “investigation” by OSU’s Office of Human Resources after three professors filed a complaint of discrimination and harassment against him, saying that the book suggestions made them feel “unsafe.” The complaint came after the OSU Mansfield faculty voted without dissent to file charges against Savage. The faculty later voted to allow the individual professors to file charges.

On March 28, ADF sent OSU officials a letter informing them of Savage’s constitutional rights. A copy of the letter can be read at www.telladf.org/UserDocs/OSUMansfieldletter.pdf. The university so far has declined to stop the investigation, saying in its response that it takes “any allegation of sexual harassment seriously.”

“The OSU Mansfield faculty is attempting to label a librarian as a ‘sexual harasser’ because they disagree with his book suggestions,” said French. “It is astonishing that an entire faculty would vote to launch a sexual harassment investigation because a librarian offered book suggestions in a committee whose purpose was to solicit such suggestions.”

Read the e-mail correspondence among the OSU faculty
here (Exhibits to the Letter). It's mind-boggling.

You have just lost your "Ty's arguments are lame 'cause he cites to some wackadoo left-wing blog" privileges.

And it's clear even from that slanted version that the sexual harassment charges stem from the recommendation of a book by Santorum, which everyone knows is the frothy mix of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex.

First, the guy proposes four conservative books for a freshman English class whose main attributes are that they were best-sellers on Amazon.com, and that they are long on inflammatory text and agenda and short on genuine scholarship. Next, after someone starts to criticize the selection, he starts to copy thefire.org on the emails, and gets the ADF in on the act. Third, he admits up front that he hasn't "read them all" - so why does he recommend them ?

This guy was trying to stir the pot. The faculty members should have just told him he was an idiot and continued on with their lives. This is no gay harassment, but to act as though the librarian is some kind of innocent victim is equally ludicrous.

The American Dance Festival has always seemed pretty liberal to me. "Peace, Love, Respect, For Everyone." And those basically naked, touching each other all over, Pilobolus people.

Apparently Slave is a fan of an organization that provides model legislation that calls "sexual liasons of a casual nature" "unlawful sexual activities" -- groups it with prostitution.

How people change!

ETA the legislation defines "specified sexual [something or other, I closed the link]" in part as erotic touching of female breasts. Maybe slave is happy that his hairless manly chest can be erotically touched w/out violating ordinance?

The faculty was suggesting books by Hillary Rodham Clinton and Jimmy Carter - wow, the intellectual and scholarship level is high at OSU - yet it was this guy trying to "stir the pot"

[Also - that one of the books he suggested specifically targets the liberal hijacking of all universities is so ironic, its uncanny]

However, unable to merely sit quietly with an outsider in their midst, these fuckers felt the need to smear this fellow and try to ruin his career.

Unfuckingbelievable

It's too bad the ACLU stopped being a free speech advocate for anyone but a few scumbag liberals.

Why isn't this being viewed as a public declaration of war?

I'm not going to defend OSU here, although I suspect that there is more to this than being said. But Horowitz's book is surpassed as a giant steaming piece of shit only by Horowitz himself.
