Mike Nifong, the disgraced and dis-barred, ex-district attorney who lead the legal witch-hunt against the Duke Lacross Team (see above) was a Democrat. The faculty members of Duke (The Group of 88) who wrote the utterly unfounded and incredibly prejudicial add in the local newspaper condemning the players before the investigation was even complete were almost all "liberals". Leave politics out of this. Witch-hunts as well as prejudging and premature leaps to conclusions can come from ANY wavelength of the political spectrum.
