The Most Scurrilous Headline of 2012



No, Daily Beast, we're not.

Yes, the world is broken and, yes, we are all sinners and shot through with weakness and flaws.

But however much reflexively allocating the blame for the specific acts of cowardice and depraved indifference of a specific group of institutionally-invested individuals to "everyone" might warm the cockles of your mingy, Centrist heart, we are not "all Penn State".

Yes still hiding behind the cloak of anonymity. I have jobs to apply for.

At least the jurors were not "Penn State" but we all will be if we continue tolerate those bastard Catholic priests and ass swipe hierarchy that had committed the same heinous crimes.

Thankee Driftglass. I, for one, am not Penn State. I hate big religion, big football, blind hero worship, pedophilia, and corrupt police forces in no particular order. So count me out of "we all".

This reminds me off when Newtrich
inferred that the women who pushed her car in to the lake with her children inside was some sort of victim of teh liberal agenda...or more recently when someone else you know implied that Sandusky was a symptom of liberalism in general.
Their usual level of lying is bad enough...I am not going to sit by an let them blame us for this pervert...
This hippie is getting sick of this shit...time to punch back...

I think the point of the "scurrilous" comment is that this country has turned into a country of deniers, liars and cheaters.

In a way, that HAS happened because we all benefit and tie into a system where we get the goods and the rest of the world gets the leftovers. In America, the 1% get all the juice, and the rest of us strain for the remaining drips.

Sandusky was just an extreme example of the national sickness that grips the US today.

Wagonjak: not hardly. He is an extreme example of a selfish evil person who used his position to abuse others. Hmm, maybe I see what you are getting at.

I'm with Anonymous. Count me as another hippie who's ready to punch back. More than ready, in fact.
