I think that's a big reason why people are apprehensive to believe him this time too.

Nobody has to believe Ford's denials if they dont want too...but...they should also absolutely want both the Star and the Globe to prove what they allege with the same veracity. Instead, I get a very definitive feeling that those folks who are all over this thing as done and complete....are not holding the actual accusers to anywhere near the same level of accountability. Guilty til proven innocent, and that is mostly by people who would consider themselves among the "tolerant and compassionate" side of the political spectrum. Its quite telling.
I mean if I was to contact some US based website and tell them I have a video of Calgarys mayor smoking crack with me and my dope selling gangster friends, but offered zero actual proof other than the words from 2 calgary sun reporters....those same people would be up one side of me and down another, calling for libel suits and defamation decrees all the while.
It doesnt matter what Fords previous buffonery contains (and its extensive no doubt) because this is a very seperate and highly volatile accusation. I dont get why people cant seperate those things, but its the way both the law and reality work.
