Tell me why lewd, sexual photograhic images of kiddie porn on a hard drive will justifiably send a person to prison, while literary/verbal images of the same, in a published book, will allow a person to be elected to the U. S. Senate?
Because with photos a child is actualy harmed.
Because we're living in Bizarro World. Let Webb suddenly decide he made a mistake and really is a Republican, then those writings will be given non-stop coverage.
Not always....a lot are computer generated.
A crime is only a crime when a Republican does it.
Because Allen ran a bad campaign. Had he kept his mouth shut, he would have won.
One is thoughts the other is deeds. If you are talking about Webb, those that voted for him most likely didn't care
Actually, the photograph does not have to involve deeds (actual photography) to throw a person in jail, just trafficing child porn images is enough to land a person in jail for many years. What is so disgusting is that this written reference seems to normalize sodomy against a child.
Pretty awful, you know he was thinking it , why it was necessary to write about it I don't know. But...as usual when it is a Dem its no big deal and the person who dares point it out is the bad guy
I shall coin a new word for a small dumb thing that creates a big bad consquence. Henceforth, it shall be a "macacca". Or an "Allen".
Then someone in the Allen campaign should be charged with trafficing in Child Porn. The flier and subsequent publicity certainly was seen by more people than the original book.
This was a stupid move by the Allen camp, the only people who would have voted against Webb because of this would have voted for Allen anyway.
THat doesn't mean I don't think Webb is a freak, btw. You just asked for the difference.
Webb looks to be to be one of these opportunistic former military imbeciles. Many of them are "former Republicans" (or former RINOs), like Wesley Clark. Can you believe that Clark was head of our NATO opperations? If the Russians had been really clever, they could have could have taken adavantage of us with him in charge. Actually, he has no successes to his credit.
The military is a bureaucracy, and the best don't always rise to the top. Did you notice how many generals Lincoln ran through before he got one who was able to win (and he did it only by having greatly superior numbers)? Think of a top military leader who transitioned well to politics. Eisenhowever! No, not a good example. Let's see: I am still thinking. Hmmm.
How about a play on "alienate" and use "Allenate"? :)
Thanks, I needed that laugh....
Or an "Allen Wrench"
Because what Webb wrote, was taken from real life situations that happened and not published for prurient purposes, while porn is done for prurient purposes and actually hurts children.
But I bet you already knew that.
