Another Question for Conservatives...

Not accusing, pointing out the ones who have been arrested, convicted, caught on video, confessed, to raping children. No accusations here, actual pedophiles in office waving the GOP flag while raping children. Then promoted, asked to run for president, and protected by the GOP higher ups. No accusations, actual pedophiles.

So, for the record, you are not accusing your fellow members of either committing hate crimes or of supporting pedophilia?

I'm really glad you've set the record straight on that, because if you had been doing that, or if you had continued doing that after being asked to stop, it might have seemed inappropriate.

What? I'm just pointing out the facts.

Larry Craig Gay, told to step down. FOley rapes children, promoted.
Some Gov. is gay, forced to switch parties, Stumbo rapes a 5 year old boy, promoted to head of GOP.
Gay guy lynched from the nearest tree, pedophile asked to run for office.

A fly in your ointment: Strom Thurmond did not become a Republican until 1964, prior to that he was Dem. The alleged incident took place in 1925, when he was a full-fledged Dem. And it was not a rape of a 14 yr old girl--he impregnated a 16 yr. old girl when he was 22. Hardly pedophila in any case. By contrast Monica was 21, and Bill 49 or 50.

Not that any of it matters. Pedophila has nothing to do with partisanship. NOTHING. Both Dems and Republicans detest pedophiles.

However, I thought it was worth noting that your "facts" are as far off as your loopy thought-process.

What I'm saying is not complicated HHH, so pay attention. I'm not saying those things didn't happen. I'm not saying that nobody ever got off with less than they deserved.

I'm saying that you said that EVEN HERE Republicans were protecting pedophiles and bashing gays, and I'm telling you that you WILL NOT attack other members of ATS with such accusations unless you can provide a photo of said member with a homosexual's throat in one hand and a kid's butt in the other.

Within terms and conditions I don't care what the heck you say about Foley et al.

Are you cool with that? Or is it impossible to talk politics without hurling such sweeping accusations at other members? (If you come up with the wrong answer to that question, I suggest you keep it to yourself).

We now return you to your regularly scheduled discussion thread.

I am usually conservative. If I were to encounter a pedophile there is no way in hell I would ever stick up for him. Pedophiles are dirt, garbage, the most worthless pieces of Shi* EVER. I have never heard of the things you speak of in the first paragraph about republicans, but if true(I dont doubt that it is not) why were they in places of power and not in prison for molesting children? When it comes to pedophilia no one should ever defend their actions, especially on the basis of what political party they are affiliated with. If it was up to me, the punishment for pedophiles and sex offenders would be public hanging. No Joke.

Im not sure where you heard the "burn, kill, and drag a homosexual down the road"? I certainly have never thought that way about anyone except sex offenders! For people to want to do any harm to someone just because of their sexual orientation is ludicrous. Those people should be condemned themselves.

No one should ever stick up for a sex offender.

Well said. What I want to know is this: whatever happened to liberals' aversion to floating baseless, scurrilous accusations, a la Joe McCarthy. It a value that seems to have flown the liberal coop somewhere along the line.

Baseless? CHILD SEX RINGS OUT OF THE BUSH 41 WHITE HOUSE AND ANOTHER OUT OF TEXAS UNDER BUSH 43 PROTECTED BY ALBERTO GONZALES!!!!


Sorry, not sure anyone remembers the BBC Documentary that was banned in America as Child Pornography because it had video of children being raped by Republican Senators and Reps. and Cabinet members and lobbyists and judges. But yet its totally baseless...
