Yup, another one. I've run out of words. This guy wasn't some volunteer or donor to the Republican Party, he was the aide to the Republican Chair of Orange County, CA and worked for Republican Rep. Dana Roherbacher. Wonkette has more background on the case.

h/t and more from The Raw Story:

A former GOP congressional aide has pleaded guilty to molesting two male teens, including the 13-year-old son of a family with whom the staffer lived while working on Capitol Hill.

37-year-old Jeffrey Ray Nielsen, who has worked previously for Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA), as well the Republican chair of California's Orange County, agreed to two felony counts of lewd acts upon a child, reports the Associated Press. A jury had deadlocked at an earlier trial this year -- in which Nielsen was accused of engaging in sexual acts with a 14-year-old boy he met on the internet -- and prosecutors were prepared to bring additional charges in a retrial.

The plea deal is expected to bring a sentence of three years in state prison, according to the Los Angeles Times. Read on...

Small correction-- Nielsen worked FOR the OC GOP Chair Scott Baugh, according to the LA Times story at the end of your web link. Nielsen himself was not the GOP chair:

"Nielsen, a former aide to Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Huntington Beach) who has also worked for Orange County GOP Chairman Scott Baugh, was arrested in 2003. Westminster police had found thousands of images of child pornography on his home computer, laptop and a computer at his Costa Mesa law office" (LA Times).

Is the story and the GOP still really icky? Absolutely.

*[Fixed - thanks.]

Hmm, I guess it makes sense that those drawn to the authoritarian mindset (Republicans) are more likely to be drawn to sex where they are in absolute control (like that with a minor).

This is sick!

odds are, he, like so many other young boys forced to go to church by overbearing parents, fell in love with the naked crucified jesus and is now just acting out those boyhood dreams of sucking jesus' dick on the young skinny boys who are about the same size as that old sexy golden jesus statue. mmm, christolicious.... thanks for another one, christo-fascists! why is the christian right so un-christy and wrong?

This guy would obviously make a good addition to Larry Craig's come back campaign.

G.O.P. = Gay Or Pedophile.

damm only 3 years for screwin kids hope he learns his lesson to bad they didnt catch him with a bong or an oz of herb then he would really be doin some time

Another Mark Foley Hall of Famer!

I think I'm seeing a trend here. ;)

Another child molesting repuke, I'm shocked!

EVERY TWO WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!

Orange County is a Republican septic tank.

What is it about the Repub. party that attracts these sorts of people?

Funny, that doesn't look like Bernie Ward?

what happen to that just say no to sex program rePUKES are so proud of?

The party that would teach the rest of us old-fashioned ethics and "values" can't keep its collective zipper shut.

You are looking at man who knows his asshole is about to be torn up, or that he's fucking doomed, for a long time.

Is this how the GOP gets around those "abstinence only" programs?

Seriously though, I'm beyond words at this point... *shakes head in sorrow*

While it's good to have a hobby, it seems that a good many republicans have confused stamp collecting - philately - w/ something entirely different that begins w/ an "f".

(And wouldn't you know it - of course those two words would be called "homonyms".)

Got. To. Quit. Shooting. Fish. In. A. Barrel.

Gee another repug pedo. That's a huge surprise...not.

Do you suppose there's a repug out there somewhere who hasn't committed a crime? Hard to imagine.

Larry Flint is rumoured to be sitting on some fun stuff.

Number of ReThugnicans arrested for pedophilia: whatever

Number of DumbOcrats arrested for pedophilia: zero

It's not just the good ole boys down south that are having problems. After the Co. Chair was accused of (well, you can read about it here) the Wisconsin Republican Party dissolved the Brown County Republican Party was dissolved. (Brown County is Green Bay area and a long-time Republican stronghold.)

OMIGOD (term used only so I'm not left out of Romney's RELIGIOUS America), can there be any more room to file stories under "REPUBLICAN HYPOCRISY"??????

this is right next door to the san diego union tribune. i scanned the paper on their web-site but didn't see anything about it. no surprise there. what a rag.

only three years for years of sexual abuse of young boys. ah, those republican family values.

I'll say it. Pedophilia is non-partisan ickiness. War-mongering and war-mongering enabler and co-dependent Democrats are also icky.

cwazycajun @ 7:

Dont worry, cajun. he'll get his. Once his fellow inmates find out what he's in prison for, his life wont be worth a plugged nickel. Prisoners really hate child molesters.

Being forced into a religious life must be so destructive to do this to these people. They are all either in the closet seeking sex in public toilets or abusing young boys. Then on the other hand they constantly make noises about gay marriage, or homosexuals in the military or being teachers, with speeches dripping with hatred.

And yet when a heterosexual president has normal sex with a women of consensual age they go bonkers and ride the impeachment train all the way to the last stop.

Hypocrisy is the word.

He'll serve a year and get the rest off for good behavior---and then run for office---and get elected!!! THAT'S the real sick part!

is there any repub that isn't on the sex offender registry?

Wow! Where did that come from?

Actually, we're probably better off not knowing.

New name suggestion for our beloved blog:
Crooks, Liars and Molesters?

Wow, these Republican scumbags are coming out of the woodwork...what does it take before a real republican voter (who is still a real American with actual values) stops supporting this party of Child Molesters and Bathroom Perverts. I mean, even the people in the Republican party would want to keep people like this away from their children...so when are they going to want them out of their government?

This is more than a coincidence.

What do republicans have in common that would drive them to illegal sexual perversions?

1. One or both of their parents are probably republicans. That would be a factor.

2. They profess Christianity, and are hypocritical about religion,
A. They claim more frequent churchgoing than is true,
B. They claim larger church donations (and deductions) than is true,
C. They claim to speak with 'god', but much more often than is true,
D. They claim to be 'born-again', but usually only after cunnilingus.

3. They profess to have IQ scores, which is generally untrue.

4. They pretend to act rationally, by mimicking democrats.

5. They never wear condoms, and are therefore disease-ridden.

Well, this is stupid. There are a million reasons that could explain why republicans are deviates, social misfits except among their own kind, but the reasons aren't really important.

What's important, is that they are dangerous deviates, often pedophilic, and we must protect our children. We could expand the 'Stranger Danger' training to include 'Republicans are a NO NO'. We could isolate republicans in special camps, where they would only be able to diddle each other. We could try to educate and train them, but that would undoubtedly not be cost effective, since most are ineducable.

But we must do something. And soon.

Our liberal friends in the Orange County, CA, Department of Water and Power, are taking some action. They have arranged for all Orange County republicans to be drinking their own pee. In time, this should start to decimate them, at least the ones who are not used to drinking their own pee.

It's a good start, and we should all offer a hearty 'Thank You' to our Orange County branch.

Sorry John Boy, but I also believe religion is a major cause of the deviance we see in society. I'm not saying it doesn't have some good points, but I also believe that you don't need to pray to an invisible cloud man to have real values. the story of Jesus and the message in that story is a good one, but all the horrible things perpetrated by religious leaders, and the general oppression of very natural parts of our lives breads guys like this.

Hell, every teenage boy should know that the easiest girls to get into bed were the Catholic girls (Baptists girls were pretty easy too) but the more they were told not to do, the more they did. and that's a fact, it the girls did abstain from sex it was more from a positive parental influence and NOT only because their church said it was bad.

well,well,well........this will go over well.I can imagine being in a repugs office right now...they themselves have to start wondering about this issue........how many does this make now...in the last 7 years?

The list on DU is getting kinda long.

we've only been finding out about it for 7 years now, it's been going on since the 70's (maybe longer)! Sen. Craig's first accuser was from '81, and I doubt his first encounter turned on him...if that was the case Craig probably would have stopped doing it because of the bad experience. But my guess is for the Repug party this has been going maybe since the time of McCarthy...

it's all part of the Grand Old Perverts world!

He's connected to the GOP and will likely get plenty of legal "breaks", to include his own private cell. Of course, his entire time in prison will be one of trying to keep from getting his ass kicked from the other inmates. Or reamed.

Olby's Wig @ 14:

Funny, that doesn't look like Bernie Ward?

Bernie hasn't been convicted or pleaded guilty to anything. All the feds have on him are two images that were sent to his aol mailbox 3 YEARS AGO and which were deleted yet were found via trolling the AOL mail server cache. Three years ago he was writing a book and got those images briefly on his pc as means of entrance into a chatroom (exchange of pics was the way to prove you weren't a cop). The indictment of mr Ward years later is clearly a move to try and counter the every two weeks of so front page repervican gay sex scandal.

Hold the phone we have a winner.

Can I use this?

Some brave, strong, straight republican is going to have to sacrifice himself for the good of the republican's reputation, and start molesting girls, or, if he can handle it, women.
Good idea!?

Sh*t, it won't work. I just realized if he were brave, strong and straight, he wouldn't be a republican.

You obviously overlooked the fact that Orange County Municipal Water is used in the brewing of the local Heinekens, as well as the local Cristal bottling plant. Many, many empty Heineken cans and Cristal bottles are found floating in Newport Harbor each weekend morning.

I'm not sure either but I think it is part of the curriculum at many ivy league schools.

There's something about sitting in a room full of double-digit and lower IQ types who are earning in excess of $10M per year, looking them in the eye, and swearing that you 'know' 'god', 'love' 'jesus', are 'faithful' to your church, and not your wife, 'wish' you could be more like 'them', and are 'truly' enjoying the cigar they just gave you, that warps the mind.

And you just have to take all that frustration out on something or somebody, and if you happen to run across a kid, tough luck for him.

Republican deviates are made, as well as born, and we must all be aware, and wok hard, to eliminate this scourge.

Perhaps a billboard and bus-stop bench campaign would work, or at least help. And we could put giant pop-ups on YouTube and Google, to alert the kids.

'BEWARE THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM'

would be a good slogan to alert the kids to watch out for republicans.

Humor ideas : I'd like a cartoonist to draw a picture of Larry Craig having a gay adventure in a pubic bathroom while speaking into a cell-phone, "Clinton is a nasty, naughty boy and we should introduce bills of impeachment as soon as possible!! Get started on that right away !!"
Another idea: A comic strip or skit acted out on video : Any one of the famous Republicans going through a day (or week) of frantically, alternately giving speeches against gay rights and rushing in and out of cruising bathrooms....alternate Mark Foley type action then some intolerance of homosexuality action...then Ted Haggerty type action ....then anti-gay legislation action....then a Wide Stance action ....then speech on congress floor speaking out against gays-in-the military. etc., etc.

Hey ! Let's brainstorm such humor ideas here and send them to a video production company or famous cartoonist.
Wow ! I got really aroused writing this message. I'm gonna sneak out of my office now and go to that bathroom at the park where that fat republican got arrested and then said he was in the bathroom because he was afraid of black guys.

Man, It's got to suck to be a homosexual or pedophile these days...people will just kinda automatically assume you're a Republican.

I don't mean to offend homosexuals by equating homosexuality and pedophilia I was just making a much deserved snark at Republicans.

I also think that it is contradictory to think that being a Republican had something to do with it. I personally am not a Republican nor a Democrat (I am a citizen not a politician), so my opinion should be taken as unbiased:

[deleted - too long for this format]

Yo,

Here's a story about Glenn Murphy, the Republican chairman of the Clark County (Indiana) Republican Party. He resigned in August because of "business opprotunities" but news orginizations later found out that he had recently been charged sexual assault...

After a party where drinking was going on, Murphy stayed the night at the host's home. The host woke up in the night to find Murphy performing oral sex on him. Typical.

Good point Sharkcellar. How about this wording :

"Gee, it got to suck getting arrested for a sex crime these days...people will just kinda automatically assume you’re a Republican."

http://mediamatters.org/items/200712050004?f=h_latest while we're discussing Calif......this from Media Matters on the initiative to split the electoral vote in Calif.

Remember when you were little and your mom used to tell you that you will be known by the company you keep... and if you have lousy friends, then you will be lousy, too? or at least be thought of that way?

Well, Republicans have GOT to get some better friends.

What is it about the Republican party that their rhetoric and skewered values are like chum on the water to predatory sharks? They seem to attract the least desirable personalities that humanity has to offer.

This is beyond sickening and there is absolutely a pattern to the madness. One would think that Republicans should address this issue and fix themselves, but no. They just keep attracting more predators, the predators get caught and then they go right to work making chum of what's left of the person who was caught.

I dunno. Maybe it all wound up this way when Republicans started making a religion of their party. I say that because religious groups are constantly in the news for sex crimes and corruption, and have been for years and years. The rotten dirt bags who wish to keep being rotten dirt bags throw a protective cloak over their actions by joining the groups deemed "honorable" and "respectable", and usually that cloak is made of religion and Republican threads. I don't know if the scumbags have learned how to hide in plain sight, or if one of the prerequisites for being religious or Republican is that you have to have a soul made of garbage and shit.

I hope this jackass rots in jail for a good long time. Along with his Republican friends.

Basically anyone IN the Republican Party these days is, to some extent or the other, suffering from variety of mental illness or otherwise is afflicted with some form of mental disconnect, or simply run along in compliance with those who are steeing its ship. Its basically being an accessory.

Some Republicans are no doubt "in the closet", and that would be as in "SHHHHHHH!!! Dont be mentioning we are Republicans in public again!" type of in the closet, as in we dont want guilt by association with the sexual perversion wing of the party, which is overwhelmingly Republican.

This group, and their political philosohy on war, religion, and other sundry subjects are often sickening to be exposed to.

Molesting little kids - 3 years

One severely damages the mind of an abused chid, who may never have normal sexual relationships again...another hooks people up with a substance that is less harmful than alcohol or tobacoo.

Wes - good point. What's wrong with society that we tolerate this bullshit and nonsense? It's pretty fucked up when a sex criminal gets a few years for abusing little kids, but a cancer patient could go to jail and be fined for treating an illness.

I recently watched a video clip of the seminal 1970s punk the Ramones. Unknown to many, there was a long-standing rift between the lead singer (Joey) and the guitarist (Johnny). Joey was a progressive/liberal/Democrat and Johnny was a regressive/conservative/GOOPer. Johnny, in typical selfish, me-first GOP manner, stole Joey's girlfriend (Joey later wrote a song about it: "The KKK Stole My Baby.")

Anyway, in one scene in the video, the Ramones are listening to some other performer (can't recall who). When that person finished, all of the Ramones (there were two others in the band) clapped and whistled and cheered except one: the authoritarian, cheerless, grim and somber Johnny. He just glowered and sat on his hands. His lowest moment came at the band's induction into the Rock 'n' Roll Fame in 2002: When he stepped to the microphone, he said: "God bless America and God bless George Bush." Music lovers everywhere were aghast.

Just a little off-topic anecdote. As others have asked: What is it about Repugs?

Perhaps we need a few new posters on telephone poles

So you're a republican eh?

OK. I'll shorten it up in pieces.

I think that writing a story in this way is very irrational and destructive…it makes no sense. What do you say when “democrats” molest somebody? I’m not saying it will happen for sure, but it’s entirely possible. It is very risky to call this a Republican phenomenon, because if a democrat did it, then YOU would be called the hypocrite. But you shouldn’t be called anything other than your name, so it should not matter what affiliation you belong to. People are people and not a party.

Also, if you are going to reply with “yes you are right, it’s just that we want to point out the hypocrisy of the GOP for constantly being all about family values (yet commit adultery), religion (yet not following the golden rule), anti-gay (yet being gay)”…etc, then you are using this girl as a tool, for political gain. If you were completely honest, then you would go to her house, ask her parents if you could use her to show people how apparently evil all Republicans are. Do you think they would let you?

1. Not all Republicans believe in what the neo-cons believe. Not all Republicans think that if you are not heterosexual, Christian, family oriented, pro-war, pro-life, etc, then you are not Republican. You are lumping every honest Republican up with those in the White House and Fox News. There are honest Republicans just like there are honest Democrats. “Most of them”, “large majority”, “plenty”, “seems like most”, etc type arguments obliterate the few honest Republicans that exist. Are you going to just ignore them? They are right there, why ignore them?

2. People do not commit these acts because of the political party they belong to. To say they do and post these stories like this, encourages readers to become haters of people they shouldn’t hate. Stories like this will almost inevitably result in people saying “Republicans lie, molest children, etc.” Of course this is your ultimate goal, your ultimate purpose. But woah, ALL Republicans? That’s a complete fallacy and you know it. People will say this so they can lie themselves, get away with it, and still seem to be on the “right” side because they appear to be on the side of the 14 year old victim, when really that 14 year old is being used for political reasons. This is fact because people don’t think to themselves “I am a Republican or a Democrat, therefore I will go out and molest somebody”. They do it because they are evil as individuals.

[multiple posts aren't working either, you made your point]

seems the conservative gop that is so hateful and demonstrative against people who are not "family" and "god" devoted, is just full of child predators and sexual diviates, not to mention the totally unfaithful in marriage.

tells you a lot about someone who shouts the rules to others, but does the opposite.

Sara, you ignorant troll,

you obviously had meant to log onto the "Fluffy Bunny and Kittens blog report", perhaps you did not notice the title of this one.

We have had our fill of the Limbaughs, Malkins and Drudgies, the war on Clinton, on gays, on liberals, the clear channel assemblage of vitreolic-spewing conservative anti-democrat, anti-liberal, propaganda that other republicans seem to stand by with rubber stamp approval. I hear nothing of a self-critical nature in that party, just the noise that comes from their apologists.

This site has been very critical of those in the democratic party who do not act progressive and ethical, but this is war against a well-organized enemy, because war has been waged against liberal ideals since LBJ, Nixon and the CIA's poster boy for this kind of act, J Edgar Hoover. That republicans with organizational standing and power can always count on folks like you attacking sites like this as a distraction, to what is far more noteworthy, is partly the insularity that allows them to commit such crimes.

It's more than just-a-coincidence, and of course, you do not want to be associated with that, but republicans made their bed, and loved it when it was soft and comfortable, but now you have to sleep in it.

I know many republicans who are good people, but evil happens when good men do nothing, and it seems y'all have been rubber stampers of the status quo in your party without a peep in the media.

GOP=The biggest selacious sex ring and a club for all sorts of aberrant behavior in ameriKa...they have been running this country for twelve years.

It's a CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE. Look for it on google video. It only has over 12,000 hits. More people need to watch it.

WAIT A MINUTE! Here's the story we seem to be overlooking, it's breaking in the headlines currently:
San Francisco radio talk show host and Liberal activist Bernie Ward has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of using the Internet to send and receive child pornography, his lawyer said today.
Seems there is a strain of PEDOPHILIA in the Dem party as well.

If Bush Junior had any decency or kindness or intelligence or ANY salutary attributes, Johnny R.'s comment wouldn't have been so offensive -- and startling. (And this was even before Shrub began murdering Iraq.)

This isn't a normal pResident we're talking about.

Eye on the ball, please. Nobody ever said there are no Democratic pedophiles or adulterers or molesters.

But take an inventory of all the sexual-perversion stories of the last several years. The VAST majority of them involved sanctimonious Rethugs. From Rush Limbaugh to Larry Craig to David Vitter, they seem to have a monopoly in this area.

The point is that Republicans routinely and belligerently wrap themselves in the flag and the "family values" cloak while committing all sorts of predations and perversions. Hypocrisy is the standard here, and Republicans own that in spades. Period.

Yes, but even in 2002, early into 2002, it was obvious Bush was a plant. He started blabbering about Iraq after a one month period of silence imposed by 9/11

WAIT A MINUTE!

Self proclaimed progressive talk show host != Dem party.

And just a reminder. It's not limited to sex when it comes to California Republicans doing illegal stuff. Like O.C. sheriff Carona's gift collection program for himself.

But all this NAMBLA behavior in the Republican party needs a name. Especially the condemn a behavior but look the other way when one of your members engages in it. How about the Ernst Röhm syndrome?

Yes, OT, but delving into the abyss of the GOP supporter, I found this this about 2002's Rock and Woll Induction ceremony (along with this band being ranked 2nd, behind the friggin Beatles, as best all time bands by Spin magazine?)

Anyway, heres something interesting.

Infamous in the punk community as being one of a few conservatives, Cummings made his political affiliation known to the world in 2002, when the Ramones were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. After thanking everyone who made it possible — clad in his trademark T-shirt, ripped blue jeans and leather jacket — he said "God bless President Bush, and God bless America," [3]. He said in an interview, when questioned on his conservatism, "I think Ronald Reagan was the best President of my lifetime." This was evident at least in the mid-Eighties: when the band released the single "Bonzo Goes to Bitburg/Go Home Ann" in 1986, Cummings pressed for a name change, finding it insulting to Ronald Reagan. It was later changed to "My Brain Is Hanging Upside Down", after a line from the song's chorus.

I get the point that, on balance, Republicans seem to have a bit more of a problem with this sort of behavior and it plays well given their public stance, but it is not necessarily only Republicans:

Of course, the bottom line is this is disturbing, regardless.

I meant to also include this bit:

On July 20, 1999, all of the former members of the group except for Richie appeared together at Tower Records in New York City for an autograph signing. This was the last occasion on which the ex-members of the group appeared together before Joey's death. Johnny attempted to make peace with his longtime bandmate and rival Joey, but Joey would have none of it and simply ignored him. Joey Ramone died of lymphoma on April 15, 2001 in New York. Joey's last partially finished works were compiled as a posthumous solo album, Don't Worry About Me.

In 2002, Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee, Tommy, and Marky Ramone were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. At the ceremony, the surviving inductees spoke on behalf of the band. Tommy spoke first, saying how honored the band felt, but how much it would have meant for Joey. Johnny thanked the band's fans and blessed George W. Bush and his presidency, Dee Dee congratulated and thanked himself, while Marky thanked Tommy for influencing his drumstyle. This was one of Dee Dee's last public appearances, because two months later he was found dead at his Hollywood home on June 5, 2002 following a heroin overdose. Also at the ceremony, Green Day played "Teenage Lobotomy" and "Blitzkrieg Bop" as a tribute to the Ramones, showing the influence that the Ramones had on later rock bands.

Also an interesting comparison of responses.

Democratic response:
[Cantwell's chief of staff, Michael] Meehan issued a strongly worded statement Monday night saying McHaney had been fired.

Republican response:
The DA insists through spokeswoman Susan Kang Schroeder [R] that the case will be handled judiciously. But Schroeder is the wife of Nielsen’s friend Mike Schroeder, and she has excluded the Nielsen prosecution from her office’s weekly list of cases for the media to watch. “We list only the cases we believe the media is interested in,” she said. But she insists Nielsen has gained no insider advantage.

noticed that Maria Cantwell's former aid McHaney faces a minimum of 5 years if convicted for attempting to meet with someone posing as a 13 year-old for "consensual" sex (if there could be such a thing with a minor).

and Nielsen get's 3 years for actually raping a 13 year old multiple times,
not to mention the "consesual sex with the 14 year old.

Even when the dems try to screw up, they get more screwed.

We need to keep track of the dem's sex crimes and hold them up for comparison, I'm sure republican apologists and the rest of the world would like to see the scoreboard.

Thanks for all of that, odanny.

Yes, "Bonzo Goes to Bitburg" is a great title by Joey. I well remember that tone-deaf gaffe by Raygun. It's right up there with his presidential campaign kickoff appearance in Philadelphia, Miss., site of the infamous murders of three civil rights workers in 1964.

Before Commander Bunnypants came along, I didn't think we'd ever have a worse president than the amiable dunce.

Oh, and it's too bad Joey and Johnny couldn't settle their differences before their untimely deaths. Johnny died in 2004, I believe.

Boy, did ol' Jeffrey Ray ever pull a fast one on the prosecutors.

Apparently, they never even suspected the truly heinous things he was up to.

I mean, Republican Chair in Orange County, CA.!!

Well, you can just imagine!

100th!

[insulting and lying about C&L won't get you anywhere either]

So, another member of the holier than thou family values party exposed. Isn't it a pity?

This is silly.

A whole thread devoted to the question, "Why do republicans act like this"?

It's like asking 'Why do republicans always zip their dicks in their flies?'

It's just the way their minds malfunction.

Truer Words have never @ 88:

WAIT A MINUTE! Here's the story we seem to be overlooking, it's breaking in the headlines currently:
San Francisco radio talk show host and Liberal activist Bernie Ward has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of using the Internet to send and receive child pornography, his lawyer said today.
Seems there is a strain of PEDOPHILIA in the Dem party as well.

one case....and i think you need to read the indictment, which has just been unsealed...they found no kiddy porn on his computer...he is charged with downloading and trading during a very small window of time...and this occured over 3 years ago....why did it take so long to bring an idictment?

im not excusing his actions, but there is something fishy about the entire thing

Sara @ 101:
[...]

War has been waged by democrats. Don't kid yourself. That's worse than Bush's mentality of "we good, you evil" mentality. It isn't a Republican thing you know. The people of this country are citizens, not politicians. Republicans were elected by the people to end the Korean war as well as the Vietnam war...both wars were started by democrats. George W. Bush was elected because of his HUMBLE foreign policy. That's why I don't look at the world through a left-right lens...it is HURTING you to do so. I am not trying to say you're wrong, I am trying to make you see the light.

[...]

The choice is easy.

Let me guess. Ron Paul?

i've never understood why creepos would go after 13 year old boys. wonder how many pages he tried to hook up with.

niftyjwn @ 4:

odds are, he, like so many other young boys forced to go to church by overbearing parents, fell in love with the naked crucified jesus and is now just acting out those boyhood dreams of sucking jesus' dick on the young skinny boys who are about the same size as that old sexy golden jesus statue. mmm, christolicious.... thanks for another one, christo-fascists! why is the christian right so un-christy and wrong?

err, actually you're not far off the mark there. I'm gay, and raised catholic I (as a child) definitely noticed the gay porn in the church imagery. It's everywhere. I think it was meant to make gay kids turn to the priesthood (they do give that spiel around 7th - 8th grade), but now they just become republicans it seems.

sharkcellar @ 54:

Man, It's got to suck to be a homosexual or pedophile these days...people will just kinda automatically assume you're a Republican.

Or a serial killer, vis-a-vis Ted Bundy, Dennis Rader (BTK killer), etc.

Gregg @ 86:

Sara, you ignorant troll,

you obviously had meant to log onto the "Fluffy Bunny and Kittens blog report", perhaps you did not notice the title of this one.

We have had our fill of the Limbaughs, Malkins and Drudgies, the war on Clinton, on gays, on liberals, the clear channel assemblage of vitreolic-spewing conservative anti-democrat, anti-liberal, propaganda that other republicans seem to stand by with rubber stamp approval. I hear nothing of a self-critical nature in that party, just the noise that comes from their apologists.

That was eloquence personified. Thank you, sir! Now if it will only shut her up....

If Vern Schillinger was real, I'd hope he was this guy's cell mate.

Sara, Sara Sara -

1. Not all Republicans believe in what the neo-cons believe. Not all Republicans think that if you are not heterosexual, Christian, family oriented, pro-war, pro-life, etc, then you are not Republican.

Oh really? Since when? Every fucking one of them I know thinks this way.....

2. People do not commit these acts because of the political party they belong to.

So Nazis didn't kill Jews bwcause they were Nazis?

Stories like this will almost inevitably result in people saying “Republicans lie, molest children, etc.”

Which is so different from what FOX tries to spread around about Dems on a daily basis?

Republicans do lie, they do molest children. They are trying their best to fuck up this country.
