What you present here is a bit of fact and a bit of falsehood yourself. The issue about Jennings not reporting the teenage victim was not about the victims actual age... but the fact Jennings statements about the event were that he believed the boy was 15. Massachusetts law is not based on actual age but also perceived age. If you believe an underage child has been victimized, you must report it by law... and Jennings did believe the boy was underage.

A lot of the facts you present do not prove the right is incorrect and is nothing more than more false rhetoric like you accuse the right of making. If you are going to disprove the opposition, you will not succeed by behaving in the same manner you accuse them of. Your accusation about MassResistance being a hate group does not prove what they say is false nor stating the Southern Poverty Law Center declared them a hate group when the SPLC has come under increasing fire for accusing groups and labeling unrelated instances together to create patterns that do not exist.

Often, radical groups left or right are accused of falsehoods just because people attack them for being radical rather than addressing or proving what they say is false. This in turn gives these radical groups more power instead of taking it away from them.

Your wrap up about NAMBLA... how does saying he values every life as a precious gift prove he does not support NAMBLA? The very foundation of NAMBLA is that the sexual predators who molest little boys are also supposed to protect them and help them mature into manhood. Guess you didn't understand that part as they do express that these childrens lives are precious... but then, they have ulterior reasons for saying this.


I won't disagree that the right can be extreme or their attacks at times can be unwarranted, but much of what they say about Jennings hs proven true. Even if one of their accusations were true, the severity of the accusations warrants giving Jennings a closer look. Defending Jennings using the tactics you accuse the right of using is self defeating and you should invest more time to get the facts straight to focus on the ones you can prove are false rather than giving truth to them with false or incomplete statements trying to prove them wrong.

While correct on issues like Jennings being falsely accused of being a pedophile, you cite dubious reports on other issues no different than you claim they have cited to prove their points. That's why it is often better to address things separately in some cases and stick with the ones you can prove if you are going to attack the opposition for things it turns out you yourself are as guilty of doing.
