As I said, I have 17 year old son and have raised two more beyond that age. When they were 16, they were no longer kids. They were tough, strapping young men. By the time they were 17 they were adults in every physical sense of the word.

The Dems have pitched this as an assault against prepubescent boys. I'm getting sick of reading the posts of FReepers who have bought into that lie.

I too have a 17 year old son and if some 50 year old man was getting off, literally, while talking to my son, I'd call that creepy anyway you slice it.

There are unfortunately a lot of people in the Republican/conservative camp who are totally buying into this "pedophilia" / "child molester" Democratic propaganda (like Mona Charen's recent column. She sounds just like Nancy Pelosi - very odd.)

I smell Kool-Aid...

We only buy into it to this extent ~ that the Dems had the IMs (which they thought were real and involved young children), and SAT ON THEM FOR MONTHS.

The Dem didn't know this was all fake, but they were willing to let young children suffer at the hands of an evil pedophile until they could get a clear political advantage.

The Dems also didn't bother investigating the source ~ if they had they'd found this stuff was just BS.

Remember, for Democrats and Liberals, it's the seriousness of the charge, not the truthfulness of the accusation.
