Amazon 7 #26 February 18, 2008 Quote Similar to questions about Mark Foley (R-FL), or Catholic priest pedophiles who had been given "a pass" for years. The folks giving Foley (R-FL) a pass included the GOP house leadership and some Florida newspapers. The folks giving priests a pass included Catholic Archbishops. I dont care what these predators political persuasion is... I would send ALL of them to a very special prison in the Aluetian Islands set up just for themIf they want to have sexual relations with children.. ... they need to be removed from our society FOR LIFE.. no exceptions.. period. These dregs of humanity sentence their victims to a lifetime of problems.... so I would have no problem locking them away from humanity for a lifetime where there are no children for them to hurt.

champu 1 #27 February 18, 2008 This is why partisan politics is idiotic. It's because of shit like this. Sensible people aren't supposed to be having conversations about which political party has it worse when the media reports on one of its members doing something despicable. Political parties, in general, are indefensible. Don't let them take you for a ride. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jakee 1,563 #28 February 18, 2008 Quote You dont think that had this been a Sean Hannity it would have been reported differently? Almost certainly yes, simply because Hannity is much, much more famous than Ward. Hannity has several national TV shows and a nationally syndicated radio show. Ward had a local radio show that was ( very briefly) nationally syndicated over a decade ago. For what reason would he ever rate the same amount of coverage as Hannity would in the same situation?Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not talking about the amount of coverage as much as how it is covered. Pick a lesser known conservative and in the first setnece of the report the word conservative would have been used so, why not use liberal in the first line of the story as well?"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

Muenkel 0 #31 February 18, 2008 Both of you are right on the money. We can tally how many pedophiles exist in every demographic until we have carpal tunnel syndrome. This process gets us nowhere. The bottom line is these sick predators must be charged and tried and hopefully sentenced to life in prison along with anyone who is complicit in their crimes. _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
