1. Maybe the police have decided to help him find the real killer
The police never did go back to investigating the case after the trial.

The real killer is still out there somewhere!

2. Oh, good!
That oughta give the bush babies some cover.

I'm willing to bet the cops made double-damned sure they have a solid case before they grabbed him.

3. Obviously he was framed again.
Hopefully Mark Furhman wasn't anywhere nearby this time (oh, wait, that asswipe lives in my backyard now and has a radio show).

13. I don't know.. We expected weeks of coverage for Paris' arrest too..
and it was surprisingly low key. Maybe the MSM is getting a slight clue?

Paris Hilton was a blip on the media radar screen as compared to O.J. The media was all over his arrest and trial for a year and a half. I'm afraid it's going to be a feeding frenzy all over again. :banghead:

It's not another murder charge, anyway. But they'll use the fact it's OJ as an ascuse.

43. Re: distraction
No kidding!

This is made-for-TV feed, straight from the bag. OJ could probably use the bucks he must be getting paid for grabbing attention this way. Next comes the part everybody's 'better off' being distracted from?


More Hollywood pre-game show.

50. Are you suggesting that someone paid OJ to do this so that was a story?
Edited on Mon Sep-17-07 04:47 PM by SayWhatYo
I hope not... I agree that the coverage is ridiculous and there are far more important things that deserve more coverage than this shit, but come on now...

27. Who gives a damn about the Browns and Goldmans?
Those are human beings. When have obsessed people ever cared about anything but their causes? Bring living, breathing human beings into a cause and you're just messing with the heads of the paranoid fanatics. They believe that the Illuminati just created Paris Hilton and O.J. Simpson to distract us from the fact that Mercury Insurance is run by aliens from the planet Mercury.

38. You seem a bit obsessed with obsessed people. Is that your cause?
I believe we all have the right to our own obsessions so I won't condemn yours.

We can be interested in many things at the same time.

20. What does this story have to do with "keeping the Black Man down?"
Why the mocking tone? Normally, you don't see that around here when DU'ers attempt to discuss "racial" issues.

Democrats, and DU'ers are often black, or did you not know that?

18. Fox is amazing...
I some DUers watch from time to time, but I'm a Fux virgin. I fliped thru the channels, paused at Fux, and am totally stunned at the Fux coverage. Wall to wall and totally biased.

I don't care whether he did anything or not, but Fux is Fuxed!

36. it's damn entertaining, though
When it first came to Canada I used to watch it for shits and giggles. It's entertaining, but it begins to wear you out if you watch it for too long.

It's better than nothing. But it will dominate the news and be used to distract. It's much easier for the media to cover OJ than it is to give us the truth about Bush.

34. While channel surfing with my brother today as soon as
this story came on the news he started to sing this-

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAVI16FSjxU

If it's not one distraction it's another. The media will spend hours giving just about anything "breaking news" coverage that doesn't require them to be real journalists.

54. You probably won't get your wish
Last I heard the alleged "victim" didn't feel threatened by O.J.

The "news" said that O.J. had no gun...

The DA (as usual with those assholes) charged everything up to and including the kitchen sink -- and probably can't prove anything beyond a reasonable doubt...

---------

Just more crap for the evening news...instead of real news about the crimes of the U.S. govt....But then, what else is new?
