Worse and Worse: Rolling Stone Admitted There Were A Few Minor Problems with Its UVA Rape Story Just as Washington Post Was About to Drop the Nuke on ThemRolling Stone doesn't appear to have dug into the details of its story (the details of which already should have been confirmed) on its own. Rather, it seems that the Washington Post dug into the details, asked Rolling Stone for comment, and Rolling Stone, realizing it had an indefensible story (and I do emphasize the word "story") on its hands, not to mention a likely hundred million dollar defamation lawsuit, scrambled to say Oh we totes got taken in by our source. You can read Allah's digest, or go to the Washington Post's expose of the false Rolling Stone story. Several key aspects of the account of a gang rape offered by a University of Virginia student in Rolling Stone magazine have been cast into doubt, including the date of the alleged attack and details about the alleged attacker, according to interviews and a statement from the magazine backing away from the article.... Well. This is very Salem Witch-hunt like. We have one likely hysteric make an implausible accusation, one involving ritual rape as a core institutional recruitment tool, and when people say, "That seems somewhat implausible to me," there come the shrieks from the other hysterics: Then you are a Rape Denier! How is this different from Salem? "I saw Goody Hauptman Dancing with the Devil." "Um, that doesn't seem very likely to me." "Do you deny the Devil's works?! Are you in fact a Devil Worshipper yourself?!?!" As Allah concludes, no lessons will be learned from this, except, I think, this one: The Hysterical Accusers now know they have to make even more hysterically defamatory accusations to shut down any kind of skeptical inquiry at an even earlier stage. If you permit people to ask questions, then they will eventually come across the truth. Hence, you must cow them from ever even considering asking a question in the first place. The only problem here, from the perspective of the Hysterical Shrieking Accusers brigade, is that they were too moderate and too soft in their nonstop hysterical accusations. Exit quotations:
