Those damn filthy Repub ..... uh ...hmmm .... wait, this guy is a Liberal?

Well, nothing to see here, move on, move along now.

It's sad, I don't agree with most of what he says but I used to listen to him everynight and he was a great talk radio host.

"I worked it out in conjunction with my attorney."

Don't worry,Bernie....where you're going,they'll work it right back in...

"Don't worry,Bernie....where you're going,they'll work it right back in..."

I don't think they'll sending him to yer favorite bar.

Can one of you computer kats link us to the thread that first appeared on the Retort when the news initially broke?

It would be interesting to see the responses.

Hans .... Hans?

We know you have a card catalog of everything that has ever been said on here.

Bernie Ward is a stinking piece of shit, who can be rightfully criticized and condemned for many things.

But the "crime" for which he is being prosecuted is one that should send chills down the spine of everyone, who supports "freedom." As I understand the charge, Scumbag Bernie never was in contact with an abused child. He just possessed and distributed pictures.

So, the dissemination of "information" is now a violation of the law. What's next? Possession of anarchist literature? It spills over into the politicial sphere. It also spills over into what people can feel, see, and discuss. Why is the government intruding in this?

If "child porn" is the justification here, what's next? Is "adult porn" to be included in the expanding crackdown on what it is proper to read and see, and distribute? Then as it goes down the slippery slope, what subject matter is next deleted from the public arena? Chilling.

"Ward, 57, a former Roman Catholic priest,"

All I need to know.

It's a mental illness, I tell ya.

And as a card carrying librul, I'll just denounce him as a sick fuck. I'm betting you won't see too many lefties mounting a Larry Craig defence here.

Catholic Priest?

Is there anything more to say? Oh yeah, Religion is a crutch!

Have a good weekend!

"So, the dissemination of "information" is now a violation of the law."
--JOHNSON

Making the "information" available is where the biggest evil is, because it requires sexually abusing a child. But those acts are supported and encouraged by those who disseminate and purchase such material.

By diseeminating this information, one encourages the producer to keep on abusing children.

Should be pretty cut and dry.

Don't forget that he was a liberal.

Yeah, that he's a liberal.

So, now we have the racist dirtbag "johnson" equating possession and distribution of child pornography with possession and distribution of Good Houskeeping magazine.

That scumbag needs help.

"That scumbag needs help."
Posted by Dave

If by "help," you mean a good old fashioned ass kicking followed by years of intensive therapy, I agree with you!

The guy broke the law--admitted it--remorseful apparently--will serve time--

Then when he's out he will return to the radio--watch and see--or become a professor at Berkeley.

Just note that this was the one charge he plead down to --his actions were much more involved with kid porn--way more.

Murphy

Kiddie diddlers and their mindset or perversion or whatever you want to call it just elude my ability to figure out. It has to be some sort of illness.

But more than that, I just don't understand how these people STILL think that they WON'T get caught by sending this stuff over the internet. Sort of like the guys that agree to meet "kids" they've met on the 'net.

Wow, somebody slap me but I almost agree with Johnson here. What he did is disgusting and is/should be criminal but in the context of the constitution, should this really be "wrong"?

Have we received comment from the ACLU yet?
I assume they are handling his case.


Also remember that just like homosexuality, pedophilia is something you are born with. So, we can't judge.
What you don't believe that? Just wait 30 years, you won't be allowed to believe anything else.
We'll be told about how pedophilia (loved by the Greeks) helps children explore their sexuality.

Note the only way I am equating homosexuality with pedophilia is in the slippery slope they slide down. You don't think NAMBLA learned for the gay rights movement. And since the Left can't discriminate between right and wrong, they have no defense against the next moral issue coming down that greased slope.

Wow, somebody slap me but I almost agree with Johnson here.

Somebody needs to.

Liveordie (who is normally pretty much of an idiot) lays it out pretty well:

Making the "information" available is where the biggest evil is, because it requires sexually abusing a child. But those acts are supported and encouraged by those who disseminate and purchase such material.

"And since the Left can't discriminate between right and wrong, they have no defense against the next moral issue coming down that greased slope."

Once again, evildave, and with all due respect, go fuck yerself.

With all due respect Dave--the "LEFT" does not have a moral core of values--everything goes.

It's not like he said the "Dems" can't discriminate between right and wrong.

The Left has no morals.

That's how you can have a 1970 bomber of the Pentagon, cop stations and judges' house get a job as a professor at Chicago University and become friends with a POTUS candidate.

That's the ACLU protecitng NAMBLA when they are all about kiddie porn--and folks on the left do not blink an eye. They need to be defended to carry out their perverted gross acts on the innocents of this country and the world.

I could go on--but you get the idea.

"the "LEFT" does not have a moral core of values--everything goes."

so what your saying is if your a christian or some other faith with a moral code of values, you can't be the left?

sounds pretty illogical

Slippery slope arguments equate to manufactured reasoning IMO.

If you can't argue against something, you just suggest it will lead to something worse, that's much easier to argue against.

Kind like a strawman, only slippery, and at an angle.

"sounds pretty illogical"

"Illogical" would be a compliment for murphy. This bonehead is just too stupid fer words.

He's also now a former liberal radio commentator.

Why don't you need to know that, too?

BTW: Are all people in radio fat, loud-mouthed perverts?

With all due respect Dave--the "LEFT" does not have a moral core of values--everything goes.

Keep right on beleiving that. It is just one more of the thousands of things the "right" is wrong about.

The Left has no morals.

From the party of Duke Cunningham, Tom Delay, Jack Abramoff, Scooter Libby, Richard Nixon, Jerry Lewis, Ted Stevens, Toetapper Widestance and George W. Bush.... priceless.

No problem, but how'd you figure out he was a Catholic Priest, Sgt Plain as Day?

After the priesthood, Ward worked as a schoolteacher, served as legislative assistant for then-Rep. Barbara Boxer for three years...[the latter being a precursor to his eventual need to consort with a Dominatrix]

Do you see the down-Ward trend here?

A priest is the Shepard of the flock, and there's always the alter boys, but a School has close to 8 hours of titillating contact. Maybe he felt himself going over the edge and decided to wrap himself in some political cover, but working for Babbling Boxer only twisted him further.

A professional journalist would be researching crime files - he was in a position to gain access and assistance from law enforcement. To Catch a Predator is integrated into the legal procedure, so I don't buy this guy's defense.

The fantasy role play belies even the premise.


I could go on--but you get the idea.

Posted by MURPHY

Oh, but you do - go on that is about Obama's associations when we all know that some are part of any politician's need to reach all segments of his Party's constituency...and that includes the more radical elements, like Jerry Falwell on the Wright.

You have good reason to favor Duncan Hunter, but as vet I find him too supportive of the collaboration between the military and its vendors, not mention the outsourcing in and occupation of Iraq. I'd vote against him.

Yet, I have to admit that I also support Ike Skelton and he's pretty hawkish himself.

Gee, I wonder if Ward ever interviewed Obama. Nothing like tying a guy to a pervert. Archives, Archives!

I've met Webb. I've seen his record and have read some of the things your refering to. The Dems made a good choice running him in Virginia. It's not often you meet someone with the presence the man has. One day you will see him go national.

That is a valid question. What do you think of the show 'to catch a predator'? As unseemly and disgusting as it seems to me for guys to try and hook up with kids, I always sort of viewed that show as being involved in entrapment. I mean, the person they were chatting to was actualy an adult. Even if they thought it was a kid, the fact still remains that it wasn't.

I do see how they can get them for attempting to have sex with a minor after they show up, but if the action that led them there was not illegal then how can they be charged?

I am in no way advocating child porn or attempting to meet up with a minor for sex, but something just never seemed right about that show as far as I was concerned.

the most prominent liberal voice on Bay Area talk radio

You picked up on priest and I picked up on Lib. He was a preist, he is a lib.

a Librul Priest ... that must be confusing.

726--

The comment was not about a "Party".

The comment was made about the values of the "left"--if you want to be more specific--"hard Left".

If there is someone who is on the far left and believes in God and yet condones anything goes values--I would like to meet them.

This guy is a prime example--he was with the church--a priest. He fell from the church--although pretending he was still a believer.

Yet he--(like other so called priests) enjoyed kiddie porn--or worse pedophilia acts.

Complete contradiction in his mind and soul.

And now it comes out that as a 27 year old priest--he had two complaints of sexual misconduct with teenage girls at a high shcool--gave her pot and booze and tried to feel her up. The other one punched him in the stomach.

He is a bonehead and a hypocrite. He bad mouths the church--but he was doing the same shit!

He should have never been on the radio--he should have been in jail. But folks like him are glorified and put on pedestals, given tenure at colleges, dinner plates at some liberals house for chatting.

The left doesn't realize evil if it bit them on
the nose. They embrace Castro and pineapple head..

They defend NAMBLA--some folks have no moral integrity..

He is a sick SOB--if this was you or me--we would be put away for 20 years. This guy might get 5 years--more likely less.

And his fantasy is to watch his two children do whoopy in front of him--Dad of the year for that guy!

Murphy

I wonder if jesus was Well-Hung?

Might explain a lot.

Don't get your tighty-rightie-whities in a bunch:

Bernie will go to jail, and like most criminals who want to avoid being butt-fucked, will find jesus...

Oh wait, that's where he started. Ironic. huh?

Bernie Ward will get a PC unit. I don't forsee Him getting GP. He could possibly get the SHU/Ad Seg.

I remember mine. Ward initially said that material was for a book, and my basic response was: So what? You broke the law, douchebag. You can't do a bunch of coke, get caught with it, and then claim to the cops it was research material for a book. If he wanted to do that, he could have hooked up with the guys that do NBC Dateline stuff(to catch a predator).

But the book excuse was BS, mr. ward. Enjoy your time in prison, sicko.

With all due respect Dave--the "LEFT" does not have a moral core of values--everything goes.

Bullshit!

You were one of his staunchest supporters and you even went so far as to fantasize about fellating him.

*KIDDING*

:-)

Mr. Ward still broke the law, even if he is honest about not being a pedophile.

I cannot tell the cops that I was "researching for a book" and that is why I chose to illegally screw a prostitute, take drugs, or any other crime I can think of, and expect to not face the consequences.

A smart man would have worked with the police on this book, so that when he traded pictures of NAKED CHILDREN with these scumbags, it was on a sting, not his personal time.

Sorry, bernie...ya done fucked up, son.

ROFL

Looks like everyone in that thread thought Bernie Ward was a tool. Sorry 101...no gotcha for you.

Alex,


As much as I feel that DR lefties take some pretty absurd positions on just about everything, the one topic in which just about every DR lefty, no matter how hard-core said lefty, absolutely cracks down on is crimes against children, especially when of a sexual nature. (forgive my run-on sentence)


I've seen some DR lefties defend some pretty specious shit, yet those very same lefties will be making exceptions in their opposition for capital punishment (or will be giddy about a convicted pedophile getting his never-ending due with Bubba in penitentiary) when the topic of a thread is a flagrant and sadistic pedophile.

*I know I just said the same thing twice, but it's Friday and it's very late.

"That's how you can have a 1970 bomber of the Pentagon, cop stations and judges' house get a job as a professor at Chicago University and become friends with a POTUS candidate."

...at least that's what Sean Hannity told me while appearing onstage with Ollie North.

"the only way I am equating homosexuality with pedophilia is in the slippery slope they slide down."

That, and you don't know the definition of consent.
