		<description>This is a totally asinine statement, typical of the kind of mindless, emotional outburst with no regard for truth that fuels almost all Leftist &quot;thinking&quot; and politics. The McMartins WERE members of the &quot;religious right,&quot; you moron. The &quot;witch hunt&quot; was fomented by people who hated them for their faith. And what makes you think the &quot;religious right&quot; would ever stand behind and enlist the services of a godless, immoral and evil woman like Martha Coakley? My God, how much longer do we have to endure the rotten fruit of our secular leftist education system? </description>

		<description>&quot;Do you think I should say she was driving&quot;.--Ted Kennedy to his friends at the motel just hours after swimming from the bridge that he drove off drunk leaving an innocent Mary Jo to die gasping for air with her nails dug into the seat.  [exerpt from &#039;Senatorial Priviledge&#039;-1988] 
 
The Kennedy seat that Coakley apparently has decided is a slam dunk is a tainted one.    I sent Brown a nice fat check on Saturday. </description>

		<description>If by any miracle, this evil woman would get in ,she would fit right in with the rest of the gutter feeding trash, that OBAMA surrends himself with.  Maybe her an the child molesting school czar could share the same office. Scum with feathers flock together.  70 yrs and I have never seen anything as corrupt as this bunch. </description>

		<description>Well Coakley&#039;s arrogance and cluelessness notwithstanding, I&#039;d say that these kinds of cases (child abuse) bring out the puritanical witch hunter in prosecutors.  The thing is, if you are going to prosecute someone with such a charge, you have a need to be right because it is one of the worst things you can charge someone with. 
 
This kind of prosecutorial intransigence is typical of child molestation cases for that reason.  We have seen this the Little Rascals Daycare case here in NC, as well as the McMartin Preschool case out in CA.  Even in  the case of obvious and overwhelming innocence on the part of the accused, even when the children were claiming things (at the coaching of child psychologists) that were physically impossible, the prosecutor continued to press the case. 
 
If the field of psychology weren&#039;t so PC, examining the mindset of prosecutors in this area and what makes them act like this might be good for at least a few Ph.ds. 
 
Oh, and the fact that white males are often the target of these witch hunts.  Putting a white guy in jail is the sort of thing that makes every liberal prosecutors day.  It allows them to feel like some balance has been restored to the Universe after putting so many black guys in jail.

		<description>I cringe every time I have to tell people I live in the state that elected Harry Reid, but I&#039;d shoot myself before admitting to being responsible for electing Kennedy, Dukakis, or Coakley. What planet are you people on? </description>
