The Leftist race hustlers never give up. Shoot down their phony case and, lo and behold, they wait you out and then pop back up to try it from another angle. Or repeat the same one like their news media cronies did with Trayvon Martin, running his baby-faced picture over and over again instead of his gold-grill thug mug. Even after the discrepancy became common knowledge.
Comes now a book dedicated (in the words of ace WaPo crime blogger Radley Balko) to rehabilitating the disbarred and disgraced district attorney who prosecuted the white Duke Lacrosse players for their alleged gang rape of a black female stripper who couldn’t get her story straight. William Cohan’s “The Price of Silence” has gotten the usual hurrahs from the Democrat news media and their Web buds like the Puffington Host.
While over at Amazon, the readers and potential readers have much longer memories and they’re taking no prisoners. Out of 52 reviews so far, 41 have given it one star, the lowest possible rank. However, I see that only six reviews are from verified purchasers (four liked it, two hated it), and two are Amazon “Vine Voices” meaning they got it free from Amazon (one hated it, the other liked it).
It’s probable that at least a few of the others got the book free from the publisher or the author, or even thumbed through it at a (gasp) book store, but it looks to me like most of the reviewers (most of them negative) are just piling on in the way Amazon political lurkers sometimes do, especially when they haven’t read the book in question. Amazon doesn’t require it in order to write a “review.”
At least one of the verified purchasers, who hated the book, is a blogger who does a fine job of explaining his position. All of which leads me to conclude how refreshing it is to see, once again, that the gatekeepers of old (cBS’s Dan Rather, anyone?) no longer control the gate. Especially when the issue is one more labored assault on white men by the race hustlers.
