We could then get around to freeing the 7 or 8 that were actually innocent of some noxious crime.

A New Jersey congressman has fired his chief of staff -- a former after the aide was arrested in Maryland on a charge of soliciting sex from a minor.
Democratic Rep. Steve Rothman took the action after learning that top aide Robert Decheine was among 11 people snared in a Gaithersburg, Md., police sting. Police placed ads on a website and an undercover officer communicated with customers through phone and text messages.
Police said the 48-year-old was arrested on Nov. 17 after soliciting to have sex with an underage girl. Decheine was released on $15,000 bail. Eleven arrests were made during the operation, which came in phases. First, ads were placed online and an undercover officer began communicating with each "John," according to the Website TMP.
The Record newspaper reports Rothman's office issued a statement saying the New Jersey Democrat considers the alleged criminal act "to be shocking, appalling and indefensible.''
Decheine told the newspaper in an e-mail message he had no comment. Decheine was a senior advisor to the Obama campaign in 2008, according to PolitickerNJ. He previously served as chief of staff to Rep. Bill Luther (D-MN).
Decheine has run Rothmans Washington and New Jersey offices since May 2003.

It’s your posting history.
Here’s the link to it for anyone interested.
You seem to think that people are over reacting to the sex offender thing with your *Sex offender hysteria* comment. THen there are your snarky digs at other FReepers. Like this uncalled for one....

You forgot the 3rd through 10th ones, who were just as drunk, and did nothing worse that head home and sleep it off. So tell us, AMPG, how many children have you molested?
Pretty provocative behavior for a *noob*.....
Not to mention your continual little digs at Palin.

You’ve obviously aroused suspicions.
What was your previous screen name?
Whenever I see a recent sign-on insulting other FReepers at random and responding with sarcasm in the majority of their posts, it often seems that they are eventually revealed as retreads. It seems that despite their best efforts, they are unable to conceal their hostility.
Can somebody please find an “I’m with stupid” shirt to send him?
Oh, and the arrow has to point straight down.
Wow, “Hysteria” about child molesters???
I’ll show ‘em some freaking hysteria!
You know, there’s good reason to be suspicious about someone who’s so lackadaisical about child molesters.....
Anyone who doesn’t want child molesters executed has something wrong with them.
Or at the very least life imprionment. But they should work for their keep, as should all prisoners.
You give Elwood a bad name, Doud. And Jake and I are not amused.
That's a pretty broad paint brush you are using.
If I’ve aroused the “suspicions” of anyone, it’s merely a paranoid such as yourself. How many dozens of posts did you have to dig through to find crumbs to feed your fantasies (and think of how much you could accomplish if you had a job)? If you don’t want to be snarked at, don’t threaten other conservatives.
And why does the possibility of police/prosecutorial overreach make you get nuts because children are involved? Lovers of big, unrestrained government are usually found on the Left.
I shall treat you as nonexistent static vainly trying to stir trouble among conservitives hereafter.
As a rule, conservatives understand what censorship is and leftists cry censorship whenever they are not allowed to say whatever they want.
So troll, do you know what censorship is? Do you understand that, with the exception of Jim Robinson, NONE of us have the "right" to post ANYTHING on Free Republic?
Talk about paranoid... You're the one thinking that I've *threatened* someone. I have no power to do that.
Speaking of job, you're obviously not busy enough to stay off FR. Think about how much you could accomplish of you had a job instead of posting on FR so much. Why don't you go out and do something worthwhile with your life instead instead of insisting that others go easy on sex offenders?
You're no conservative. Conservatives do now downplay sexual offenders as you've done. Although, after reading your post to me upthread, I can see why you'd want people to go easy on sex offenders. Your mind is in the gutter and it's more a reflection of you than it is of me.
Liberals classically don't know their Constitution very well. It's a dead giveaway for exposing a liberal in conservative company.
The restriction is on Congress and specifically prohibits one action on their part. It is not a blanket prohibition against censorship by private individuals. Anyone can restrict any activity they want on their property because the First Amendment doesn't apply to private citizens.
Liberals don't get that. They think that the First Amendment can be used to force others to let them say what they wish without restriction.
Case in point.
Can't be overstated.
I've reread the posts on this thread, and I'm guessing that the talk about censorship was probably a diversion.
People who complain about police entrapment have often been convicted of serious crimes and cry "police entrapment" rather than take actual responsibility for their crimes.
It’s also likely a diversion to keep people from noticing what they’re really stating.
Typical red herring.....
Ding ding ding. Winner.
Am I in before the Zot?
