1) I made a short response about Freedom of Speech and the rest was responses to someone who had no idea what it meant. No intent to spin. I corrected his notion and was backed by a number of other posters.
2) Thanks for the compliment, but it was unfounded. I wasn't pulling anything. If I did, what the hell was I TRYING to pull? I agreed with you for gods sake.
No need to be so defensive, the "wag the dog" comment was meant as a joke. For it not to be a joke would mean that I'm saying you are an evil genius on par with Karl Rove, which clearly you are not.

I'm not the one assuming rumors are fact and adding emphasis that has never been reported. The Police have only ever said 2 things. "Visible injuries" and "light bruising". YOU are the one spinning that into "somebody beat her up". Hiding behind technicalities? Really? No charges. No police report. No facts to judge or convict on.
I'm not the one jumping to conclusions and adding pieces to the story that aren't there
That sir is SPIN...and I'm not the one doing it. You are.
One of the initial reports said that MacDonald's girlfriend told police he hit her and dragged her by the hair. I went back to look for a link but I haven't been able to find it, so take it for what it's worth.
In any event, she had visible injuries and bruising. Who besides McDonald would have done that to her?
I'm generally a believer in due process too, but justice is infamously difficult to attain in these cases which makes due process a highly flawed defense for you to stand on. Even the SF board of directors thinks it's weak shit.
If you were not a 49er fan you would not be defending the guy. IMO, you should just let this one slide.
