A San Francisco radio host billed by his station as the "Lion of the Left" was sentenced yesterday to seven years of prison on a charge of e-mailing images of child pornography.
Bernie Ward, a former Catholic priest who is now married with four children, hosted a Sunday radio program called "God Talk" on San Francisco-area radio station KGO-AM 810 and another program on weeknights devoted to news and politics. According to several reports, Ward earned his "Lion of the Left" nickname for his outspoken and staunchly liberal viewpoints.
Ward came under FBI investigation last year after a woman with whom he exchanged sexually explicit Internet messages called police, reporting that Ward had sent her a photograph of children engaged in a sex act.
Bay Area television station KTVU-TV reported the FBI used 19 transcribed pages of Ward's conversation with the woman and a search of Ward's computer records in their investigation, leading to the discovery of dozens of child pornography photos. The Associated Press reported some of the images were of children as young as three, while others portrayed masochistic scenes of children bound and gagged. The transcripts also revealed that Ward confessed being sexually aroused by his own children.
Doron Weinberg, Ward's attorney, told KTVU that though his client claims innocence, arguing the images and Internet chat were part of journalistic research, Ward knew that the evidence against him was too condemning to drag his family through a prolonged trial.
Ward "is not a sexual predator," Weinberg told reporters, insisting "Bernie Ward is a good man."
Speaking of Ward's supposed research into child pornography, however, Weinberg did admit, "It's clear that it ended in a dark place."

Yes. The words are "you're" and "ass".
This is a prime example of unfortunate ignorant or stupid folks getting
their much-needed opinions from talk radio "smart guys". The unfortunate
ignorant person cannot even write proper English. Should we expect original thought from him?
No, certainly not.
The unfortunate ignoramus will continue getting opinions and talking points from
his magical "radio box" and will accept them as genuine truth.
This type of sub-class is easily led and usually quite weak willed.
Aren’t they always “a good man”?
“The transcripts also revealed that Ward confessed being sexually aroused by his own children.”
That must put Ward at the bottom rung of the perv ladder.
And your source of info is what?
Spoken like the kind of “class act” who declares he will “vote for McCain because he’s white.” I don’t know how you’ve survived the ZOT.
It's a gift.
Today, it's your very self!

Yeppers. That'd be you, chilly.
Could you tell me where you got those statistics? I’d like to take a look. Many thanks in advance...JFK
Can you cite any of those stats?
The “Lion” get 7 years for doing “research”! What is this country coming to?
The wikipdia page about Ward has links to transcripts of the chat room conversations where he discussed shild porn and the sex abuse he had with his kids.
I was afraid to open them. Just too damn sick.
Don't make the charge if you can't prove it.
Humblegunner has a habit of making bigoted assertions he can't or won't back up. On an FLDS ranch thread earlier this year humblegunner accused the entire Mormon Church of being child molesters.
Then there's the moronic idea that a guy getting addicted to pain pills after a nasty set of back surgeries is proof that large numbers of radio personnel are disposed toward drug use and child porn. Truly intellectually beathtaking.
Harry Reid, is that you?
I did not cite any facts provided by Limbaugh. I merely challenged your idiotic assertion that you can make charges and then other people are responsible for proving them for you.
Sure enough, they probably are. Cultist freaks.
Well hey, if you want to accuse 13 million people of being child molesters without providing any evidence at all, that makes you smart and a great American, right?
Do you subscribe to Limbaugh's site?
No.
What's your drug of choice? You know, the one that makes you engage in these bigoted rants online?
There aren't any.
I was just yanking the chain to see who would get rattled.
They put convicts like Ward in protective custody or “special needs” blocks of prisons. Probably he will not be killed in prison.
LOL.
thanks for the heads up.........
