If the statement was verbal it was slander and not libel, which is 
shy the small verdict. I listened to some woman the other night 
bewailing the fact that nobody believes Tawana Brawley but they do 
believe the Central Park Jogger, who ended up in a coma, was 
attacked. The grievance of course was that Tawana is black and 
therefore should be intrinsically more believable. I suspect that 
the Tawanna Brawley matter, like the Exodus, will never die and never 
be forgiven.

Farrakhan is not anti-Semitic. He just hates Jews, that's all. I 
have heard liberals point out that Arabic is also one of the Semitic 
family of languages. The fellow who pointed this out (on a radio 
program) suggested that putting that blind sheikh in prison who 
masterminded the first WTC attack was anti-Semitic because given the 
he is Egyptian his native language is Arabic and Arabic is a Semitic 
language. The same argument would apply to all the 9/11 hijackers 
since peoplek from Arabia also speak Arabic. Political correcness 
nowadays is a real bear.
