Filmmaker Michael Moore has offered to put up the $20,000 bail required to release WikiLeaks leader Julian Assange from the London prison where he is currently being held. In a manifesto posted to his Web site, Moore characterized Assange as “a pioneer of free speech, transparent government and the digital revolution in journalism.” As for fear of a flight risk, Moore argued against this possibility by quite convincingly invoking the matter of Assange’s own ego. “I believe that Julian takes pride in his reputation and as any journalist would understands that if he were to abscond he would ruin his reputation in the media and journalism industries,” Moore said.

Who knew MM was such a big fan of sex offenders?

It's a non-case so they can prosecute him for something.
 
Alleged sex offender.

It's a good thing you aren't on his jury. Apparantly you have found him guilty until proven innocent.

Any you haven't jumped on the they're guilty band wagon when a soldier or a group of solders get accused of something?
 
Meh, he's rich, he can afford it. I don't really care too much.
 
Really? any evidence of this or are you calling possible rape victims liars?

Like with Duke University's what was it rugby or lacross team or something like that? I think a lot of people jumped on the "She's making it up" wagon (which she was).

Good thing for the victims you're not on his jury either.
 
Good on Michael Moore.

Yeah and let's not forget Tawanna Brawley.

He said alleged. Not innocent. ? He's acting much more impartial than you or I

Well what I was responding to was the statement "Are you calling rape victim's liars". Which in some cases, yes they do lie. In many other cases, it's the truth. The point being before anyone can jump on this wagon or that wagon; there needs to be a proper investigation. If there is evidence for a trial, then bring him to trial. If not, then don't.

Not true, he has no trouble saying I shouldn't be on the jury because I've pre-judged the sex offender. Obviously he would have no trouble with you on the jury even though you've pre-judged the victim.

As a habit, no. I was a journalist in community college, and I got use to using the word "alleged" when describing any suspect's crime.

Its possible that the alleged victim is lying so they can try to get something on Assange. You can't really prove rape with physical evidence. All a DNA test would prove is that the alleged rapist semen was found in the alleged victim.Which doesn't prove rape. Its like a finger print on a shell casing, it doesn't prove you fired the gun in a crime
 
66,000 Iraqi civilians dead. Just sayin'.
Wouldn't this retort really only makes sense if we were talking about Iraqi patriots?
