| 8. I am curious why is DU entertaining tabloid rumors re Edwards when it has handled Obama differently |
|
Edited on Thu Aug-07-08 11:22 AM by avaistheone1
in reference to tabloid rumors of Obama having a sexual relationship and sharing crack cocaine with Larry Sinclair?

I agree--if he's guilty of screwing around on his wife, he won't be the first |

He should either confess or sue. |

His role in the Convention should indeed be diminished if the coverage it will garner |

If he denies it, this story will not die anyway and if he confirms it then |

If the story is false, he should sue. The media are not going to cover a story with a libel lawsuit. |

He's already denied it -- strongly. I don't know why folks at DU are uninformed. |

Larry Sinclair failed multiple lie detector tests. That makes it a dead story. |

Ignoring is not "the right thing," it's the dumb thing. It's what Kerry/Edwards did in 2004. |
