Sharpton then accused a local police cult with ties to the Irish Republican Army of perpetrating the alleged assault. The case fizzled when a security guard for Brawley's lawyers testified that the lawyers and Sharpton knew Brawley was lying.

It's not a right/left issue. It's not always a black/white issue. It's one of hysteria and the lynch mob mentality of the populist crowd. It is examples like this that had America's founding fathers consider a direct democracy and throw that idea into the toilet. We have a representative republic form of government. Our democratic politics might be messy, but our government structure helps put the brakes on the process, to keep our (the people's) mob impulses in check. Justice is blind, and we help her by slowing down the demands of the lynch mobs.
