The Question the News Media Won't Ask About the Duke Rape Case

WHAT IF SHE'S LYING? They will hardly ask such a question, because it is too politically incorrect. Not when it is far more politically correct to assume that the accused men are automatically guilty because they are white, they are in the South, they are presumed to be wealthy, and the woman doing...

Boy, oh, boy, did I blow this one!

After years and years of being nagged by the anti-oil environmentalists, I am dying to hear what they have to say about this.
