25 years after her rape claims sparked
a firestorm, Tawana Brawley
avoids the spotlight

New York Post, by MICHAEL GARTLAND

Her silence is deafening.Twenty-five years after the spotlight first glared on Tawana Brawley — a black woman who as a teen claimed she was raped by a gang of white men, smeared with feces and stuffed in a garbage bag — she’s desperately struggling to stay hidden from public view. “I don’t want to talk to anyone about that,” Brawley, 40, said recently after The Post found her in Hopewell, Va., where she lives in a neatly kept brick apartment complex with signs warning of video surveillance cameras.

If I looked like her, I´d avoid ANY kind of light.

It takes a loooong time to get over ´illegitimate´ rape.
Oh, wait.......that doesn´t exist.........

The difference with the Centrl Park jogger case was that the five lads admitted that they committed the crime.

People have always had to live with bad people among them, but today we have far more than our share and way too many get off with celebrity. Why do we allow this?

Wouldn´t want her around my sick gerbil.

Bag of garbage Al Sharpton has never paid the price for this insane travesty.

Today he´s an adviser for the president of the United States....

Skank is too good a word for this lying cow. I lived in Hyde Park and was called for jury duty and was in the court house when the skank and sharpton waltzed by us to
leave the court house. No one believed her that had a brain. Her neighbors were laughing their heads off as she was a big liar and was sneaking out to meet whoever. They left Poughkeepsie and would have been run out on a rail if we had had our way. Sharpton is a fat short media hunter and a liar to boot. They would not dare come back to that area.

An apology from this woman and an explanation as to why she did what she did would go a long way towards helping me forgive her. OTOH, apologies from Sharpton or from his two attorney colleagues would never suffice; they were and remain malicious race-baiters, blights not only on their race, but on humanity.

She should have been imprisoned along with Sharpton.....

Sharpton should still be in jail for what he did. This affair should be brought up every day and thrown in his ugly face.

As noted above, Al Sharpton´s advice is often sought by Obama.

I am inclined to forgive Ms Brawley. She made a mistake as teenagers, does not purport to be person of the cloth and has shunned the lime light since then.

On the other hand, the Reverend Sharpton has yet to apolgive,for the Brawley fraud, or any other his his frauds, basks in the lime light and continues to pontficate as his scat did not stink.

Isn´t it interesting how the truth eventually comes out. I imagine she´s a very unhappy camper now that her employer and coworkers know all about her.And now that Pagones knows where she lives and works he can start hounding her for money.

She only remembers the rape claims after she smears herself with a daily dose of dog feces (which she really did do to herself and blamed on "cops").

I have to agree with #18. I´m wondering why this reporter felt the need to track her down and out her to everyone she knows.

Agree with the posters at #18 and #25. The only decent thing for her to do is disappear from the spotlight and get on with her life (without making any more false accusations against anyone.)

Anybody who is up, out the door and headed to work at 6:30 AM deserves credit. She took the time and effort to earn her specialized training as an LPN. That license does not come out of a crackerjack box. She is credited by co workers with being a good worker.

While the Rev. Al and the MSM are still making headlines with preposterous narratives about "racist" events that never happened, it appears she has been busy in the real world, working and contributing something of value to society.

Food stamps have made her obese.

They should leave her alone. What she did was despicable, but the involvement of Sharpton and the other guy (whose name escapes me, unfortunately) is what really caused all this. She was very young and I think she was tricked. If her upbringing had been better, maybe she would not have been so easily led to the lie.

She works a living, hopefully pays her taxes, I say give her some peace. It´s Sharpton who continues to play this card and who should be in prison.


Reply 31 - Posted by: Rather Read, 12/23/2012 1:43:58 PM     (No. 9080830)

I can´t help but think that she made a stupid mistake as a teen, was exploited by Sharpton and Alton Maddox and now....well, she is working and paying taxes and making her own way.

I will pray for her.

The word rape is from a quote of a statement by a 15 year old child. And it was shown beyond a reasonable doubt that there was no rape. So the headline should have quotes to read "rape".

But what do I know? I didn´t go to journalism school so I still believe that headlines should tell the truth instead of a spreading a sensational lie.


Reply 33 - Posted by: robwin, 12/23/2012 5:04:24 PM     (No. 9081032)

Tawana is now an insignificant little cipher. Sharpton, however, the parasite who launched his national career by using her, continues to be an honored member of the Democrat Party and has his own TV show. Just imagine if this, with races reversed, had involved a Conservative white preacher.

This reporter and his editor are no better than paparazzi and stalkers. They would do well to leave her alone and do some real reporting on something that matters – how about tracking down one of the rescued Benghazi staffers, for example.

I do not agree to cutting her any slack at all, the men she accused of raping her were losing their jobs and wives - finally one man found some black that would talk and that was when she should have been jailed and kept there. No apologies, no nothing from this dirty brat.

She was 15 at the time. Lied and then was easily manipulated. Not excusing her, but not going to make it out to be like she was a 30 year old adult. She is a nurse and apparently does some good in this world. Sharpton etc took advantage of her. How Christianlike of many of you.

No sympathy. I´m glad they tracked her down. She is a reminder of what a liar and scoundrel Sharpton is, and this story should dog him the rest of his days.

Sharpton and Brawley ruined lives and cost the taxpayers heavily. They should have gone to jail.

By changing names for the fraudulent purpose of hiding from her debt, she is still breaking the law.

As someone who has been in theaters where people have not turned off their cell phones, I have many long, elaborate fantasies about what I would like to do to those people. In some of these fantasies, I merely clear my throat loudly or poke them a little with a sharpened umbrella. In my more grotesque imaginings, I shout, “FIRE!” “Where?” everyone else in the theater asks. “Right here,” I say, touching a lit match to the hem of the offender’s coat.

Has President Nixon been replaced by Sergeant Schultz? The “Smartest President Ever” has disappeared. The Barack Brain Trust long-touted by liberals is gone — replaced by hacks whose rallying cry is straight from Stalag 13—“I know nothing. Nothing!” The top law enforcement agency in the land spied on the top news-gathering organization, secretly seizing phone records from their home and cell phones. They did so without the legally required notice to the Associated Press. And what did Attorney General Eric Holder say when asked why his Department of Justice would do such a thing?

We are in the midst of the worst Washington scandal since Watergate. The reputation of the Obama White House has, among conservatives, gone from sketchy to sinister, and, among liberals, from unsatisfying to dangerous. No one likes what they´re seeing. The Justice Department assault on the Associated Press and the ugly politicization of the Internal Revenue Service have left the administration´s credibility deeply, probably irretrievably damaged. They don´t look jerky now, they look dirty. The patina of high-mindedness the president enjoyed is gone.

There’s a problem for President Obama in dealing with the cascading public-relations crises involving the Internal Revenue Service and the Department of Justice — a problem that can’t be repaired by “fixing the problem,” as he promised to do yesterday with the IRS in a rainy press conference at the White House. The problem is that these are agencies the Obama presidency has empowered and is in the process of empowering still further. They are arms of the federal government whose authority and reach he wishes to increase — at a time

In 1977, I was publishing a small newspaper in the Bronx, the Parkway News. There was a mayoral candidate who wasn’t being taken seriously. He was destined to become a footnote in a field dominated by such names as Bella Abzug, Herman Badillo, incumbent mayor Abraham Beame, Mario Cuomo, and Percy Sutton. Many thought the Parkway News was crazy to cast its lot with the quirky candidate it favored, but I saw something special in that candidate, Edward I. Koch. Today I say do not write off Anthony Weiner.

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up.

Watching President Obama trying to dodge raindrops and responsibility yesterday reminded me of the moment when Dorothy pulls back the curtain and discovers that the Wizard of Oz is “just a man.” Stripped of his spell of mystery and power, the wizard is worse than mortal. He’s a fake. So it was with Obama in the Rose Garden. His performance was tired and trite, ordinary to the point of dull. His veneer of passion was so transparent that you could see him trying to summon his old-time magic by pushing the buttons

STANDING BEFORE reporters Thursday, President Obama declined an invitation to compare the recent scandals weighing down his administration with those that forced President Nixon to resign in 1974. So allow us to do the work for him: There is no comparison. Nixon, in a series of crimes that collectively came to be known as Watergate, directed from the White House and Justice Department a concerted campaign against those he perceived as political enemies, in the process subverting the FBI, the IRS, other government agencies and the electoral process to his nefarious purposes. Mr. Obama has done nothing of the kind.

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

The State Department, under Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, created an arrangement for her longtime aide and confidante Huma Abedin to work for private clients as a consultant while serving as a top adviser in the department. Ms. Abedin did not disclose the arrangement — or how much income she earned — on her financial report. It requires officials to make public any significant sources of income. An adviser to Mrs. Clinton, Philippe Reines, said that Ms. Abedin was not obligated to do so. The disclosure of the agreement that Ms. Abedin made with the State Department comes as her husband,

The disclosure to the Treasury general counsel and the deputy secretary was a cursory one, according to J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration.

The lawmaker leading the charge to investigate the Benghazi terror attack on Friday subpoenaed the co-author of a report that slammed the State Department but didn´t interview Hillary Clinton. House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) formally demanded that retired ambassador Thomas Pickering submit to being deposed by the committee next Thursday. The subpoena comes in the wake of a series of acrimonious public exchanges this week between the two men. Issa didn´t issue a subpoena to former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Michael Mullen, who co-authored the Benghazi report with Pickering.
