- coltrane68, on 02/08/2009, -29/+500OK - this guy is a (is alleged to be a) complete scumbug and is a Republican.
With all due respect, these two things have nothing to do with each other. I may be a Democrat, but I have no illusions that people who share my political views are less likely to be child molesters. - novenator, on 02/08/2009, -63/+368Ted Haggard, Larry Craig, and now this guy. Way to go right wing, hypocritical since 1883.
- SheilaNoya, on 02/08/2009, -5/+288This scumbag also has 5 other previous allegations of child molestation dating back to 1982, but he's never been convicted.
Here's a few more details on this creep:
http://coloradoindependent.com/20907/pueblo-manage ... - Fixhotep, on 02/08/2009, -21/+228Buried for the title making it sound like Rick Davis by saying "John McCain's Manager." This fool was just the manager at the Pueblo office. In other words, small potatoes. He's just a small town wannabe, not a campaign manager for a presidential nominee.
If it were Rick Davis, then it should be on Digg. Pueblo n00b = not news. - Bookant, on 02/08/2009, -15/+182I guess this means John McCain "pals around with" child molesters.

http://www.armchairsubversive.com - D4M4N, on 02/08/2009, -28/+102are seriously think that because he helped run the campaign against a democrat hes a child molester?
im not defending him, but i find your logic retarded. We might aswell arrest everyone who did anything to run against the democrats. - Frankyfan3, on 02/08/2009, -3/+75[Citation Needed]
- inactive, on 02/08/2009, -7/+75Don't forget about Mark Foley for your list....you know the guy that was hitting on and having phone sex with underage male pages and interns...
- evilsin, on 02/08/2009, -1/+66left wing repression is a aviation term which describes using aileron to stabilize the plane if i put my nutz on your chin
- LilBoyLuver, on 02/08/2009, -10/+74This isn't the only coincidence, however, it turns out that all of these child molesters drank water 1-8 times per day.
- THETEH, on 02/08/2009, -12/+73Guys. Imagine if a democratic politician molested a kid. Would you want the right-wing turning it in to an attack on the left? It's time diggers showed a bit more integrity when debating politics. I'm a liberal, but I'm not about to attack the right because they've got a few perverts in their party. I'm sure there are some child molesting Democrats too. Let's talk about some REAL political issues, shall we?
- woodsjransom, on 02/08/2009, -9/+67Let me file this away for future reference. What a sicko.
- Echota, on 02/08/2009, -7/+57Low life scum!
- inactive, on 02/08/2009, -9/+56I definitely agree with you. My problem is that the Republicans time and time again try to make the claim that there is a connection between the two. They're the ones who started this whole crusade, arguing that somehow it's the liberals who are responsible for all moral degeneracy. I don't have a problem acknowledging that morality and political views are unrelated, but I really ***** wish that in the face of all this, the Republicans would do the same.
- broncfan23, on 02/08/2009, -11/+57I remember the days when just being a child molester was wrong and it didn't matter what party they were from. Everyone has just become partisan hacks.
- inactive, on 02/08/2009, -17/+61Buried as inaccurate for the sensationalist and inaccurate headline.
Here is the correct headline, "Man who led Sen. John McCain's presidential-campaign office in Pueblo arrested for child molestation", which is FTA. The OP needs to get it right next time, although being a political liberal hack on digg is becoming a dying breed of late. - inactive, on 02/08/2009, -14/+56Always from the party that brings "good family and moral values" to our nation... Isn't that what Bush was supposed to do when he came into office after Clinton got a blow job from someone of legal age? He campaigned on bring "integrity" and good morals back to the white house... all to the most gullible of all...the Talibangelicals...and they bought it hook, line, and sinker...every word of his *****...
From ALL that they do, with regards to their party and the nature of crimes they commit that reach and cover a full spectrum of issues, they seem to be MUCH worse than we "elite, liberal, dems) when it comes to having decent morals. We're not perfect, but we are nowhere near how bad they are... - adverpart, on 02/08/2009, -7/+48Neither party condones raping five-year-olds.
- adverpart, on 02/08/2009, -6/+43Ted Haggard and Larry Craig had creepy consensual sex with strange men.
This guy raped a five-year-old.
There's a huge ***** difference there. - Drahkar, on 02/08/2009, -2/+37Why because she should have been psychic and known that the guy was a Pedophile? Remind me to go get some of those rose color glasses you've got. They make a wonderfully simple view of the world.
- inactive, on 02/08/2009, -7/+41You know, you're absolutely right, political persuasion has nothing to do with it - which is why I am so goddamn sick of the Republicans. They're the ones who originally trumped up this notion of a tie between political affiliation and morality, and it's sickening how they continue to sell that ***** despite example after example proving otherwise.
- mcquitty, on 02/08/2009, -20/+54Here's a small list I found in 10 seconds of googling:
The only difference it seems is that Republicans throw out their perverts..Democrats re-elect theirs.
REP. JOHN YOUNG (D-Tex.):
On June 11, 1976, Colleen Gardner, a former staff secretary to Young, told the New York Times that Young increased her salary after she gave in to his sexual advances. In November, Young, who had run unopposed in the safe Democratic district five consecutive times, was reelected with just 61 percent of the vote. The scandal wouldn't go away, and in 1978 Young was defeated in a Democratic primary runoff.
REP. ALLAN HOWE (D-Utah):
On June 13, 1976, Howe was arrested in Salt Lake City on charges of soliciting two policewomen posing as prostitutes. Howe insisted he was set up and refused to resign. But the Democratic Party distanced itself from his candidacy and he was trounced by his Republican opponent in the November election.
REP. FRED RICHMOND (D-N.Y.):
In April 1978, Richmond was arrested in Washington for soliciting sex from a 16-year-old boy. Richmond apologized for his actions, conceding he "made bad judgments involving my private life." In spite of a Democratic primary opponent's attempts to cash in on the headlines, Richmond easily won renomination and reelection. But his career came to an end four years later when, after pleading guilty to possession of marijuana and tax evasion - and amid allegations that he had his staff procure cocaine for him -- he resigned his seat.
REP. JOHN HINSON (D-Miss.):
On Aug. 8, 1980, during his first reelection bid, Hinson stunned everyone by announcing that in 1976 he had been accused of committing an obscene act at a gay haunt in Virginia. Hinson, married and a strong conservative, added that in 1977 he had survived a fire in a gay D.C. movie theater. He was making the disclosure, he said, because he needed to clear his conscience. But he denied he was a homosexual and refused GOP demands that he resign. Hinson won reelection in a three-way race, with 39 percent of the vote. But three months later, he was arrested on charges of attempted oral sodomy in the restroom of a House office building. He resigned his seat on April 13, 1981.
REP. ROBERT BAUMAN (D-Md.):
On Oct. 3, 1980, Bauman, a leading "pro-family" conservative, pleaded innocent to a charge that he committed oral sodomy on a teenage boy in Washington. Married and the father of four, Bauman conceded that he had been an alcoholic but had been seeking treatment. The news came as a shock to voters of the rural, conservative district, and he lost to a Democrat in November.
REP. DAN CRANE (R-Ill.) and REP. GERRY STUDDS (D-Mass.):
The House ethics committee on July 14, 1983, announced that Crane and Studds had sexual relationships with teenage congressional pages -- Crane with a 17-year-old female in 1980, Studds with a 17-year-old male in 1973. Both admitted the charges that same day, and Studds acknowledged he was gay. The committee voted to reprimand the two, but a back-bench Georgia Republican named Newt Gingrich argued that they should be expelled. The full House voted on July 20 instead to censure the two, the first time that ever happened for sexual misconduct. Crane, married and the father of six, was tearful in his apology to the House, while Studds refused to apologize. Crane's conservative district voted him out in 1984, while the voters in Studds's more liberal district were more forgiving. Studds won reelection in 1984 with 56 percent of the vote, and continued to win until he retired in 1996.
REP. ERNIE KONNYU (D-Calif.):
In August 1987, two former Konnyu aides complained to the San Jose Mercury News that the freshman Republican had sexually harassed them. GOP leaders were unhappy with Konnyu's temperament to begin with, so it took little effort to find candidates who would take him on in the primary. Stanford professor Tom Campbell ousted Konnyu the following June.
SEN. BROCK ADAMS (D-Wash.):
On Sept. 27, 1988, Seattle newspapers reported that Kari Tupper, the daughter of Adams's longtime friends, filed a complaint against the Washington Democrat in July of 1987, charging sexual assault. She claimed she went to Adams's house in March 1987 to get him to end a pattern of harassment, but that he drugged her and assaulted her. Adams denied any sexual assault, saying they only talked about her employment opportunities. Adams continued raising campaign funds and declared for a second term in February of 1992. But two weeks later the Seattle Times reported that eight other women were accusing Adams of sexual molestation over the past 20 years, describing a history of drugging and subsequent rape. Later that day, while still proclaiming his innocence, Adams ended his campaign.
REP. JIM BATES (D-Calif.):
Roll Call quoted former Bates aides in October 1988 saying that the San Diego Democrat made sexual advances toward female staffers. Bates called it a GOP-inspired smear campaign, but also apologized for anything he did that might have seemed inappropriate. The story came too close to Election Day to damage Bates, who won easily. However, the following October the ethics committee sent Bates a "letter of reproval" directing him to make a formal apology to the women who filed the complaint. Although the district was not thought to be hospitable to the GOP, Randy "Duke" Cunningham, a former Navy pilot who was once shot down over North Vietnam, ousted Bates in 1990 by fewer than 2,000 votes.
REP. GUS SAVAGE (D-Ill.):
The Washington Post reported on July 19, 1989, that Savage had fondled a Peace Corps volunteer while on an official visit to Zaire. Savage called the story a lie and blamed it on his political enemies and a racist media. (Savage is black.) In January 1990, the House ethics committee decided that the events did occur, but decided against any disciplinary action because Savage wrote a letter to the woman saying he "never intended to offend" her. Savage was reelected in 1990, but finally ousted in the 1992 primary by Mel Reynolds.
REP. BARNEY FRANK (D-Mass.):
In response to a story in the Aug. 25, 1989, Washington Times, Frank confirmed that he hired Steve Gobie, a male prostitute, in 1985 to live with and work for him in his D.C. apartment. But Frank, who is gay, said he fired Gobie in 1987 when he learned he was using the apartment to run a prostitution service. The Boston Globe, among others, called on Frank to resign, but he refused. On July 19, 1990, the ethics committee recommended Frank be reprimanded because he "reflected discredit upon the House" by using his congressional office to fix 33 of Gobie's parking tickets. Attempts to expel or censure Frank failed; instead the House voted 408-18 to reprimand him. The fury in Washington was not shared in Frank's district, where he won reelection in 1990 with 66 percent of the vote, and has won by larger margins ever since.
SEN. DANIEL INOUYE (D-Hawaii):
In October 1992, Republican Senate nominee Rick Reed began running a campaign commercial that included a surreptitiously taped interview with Lenore Kwock, Inouye's hairdresser. Kwock said Inouye had sexually forced himself on her in 1975 and continued a pattern of sexual harassment, even as Kwock continued to cut his hair over the years. Inouye, seeking a sixth term, denied the charges. And Kwock said that by running the commercial, Reed had caused her more pain than Inouye had. Reed was forced to pull the ad, and while many voters took out their anger on the Republican, Inouye was held to 57 percent of the vote - the lowest total of his career. A week later, a female Democratic state legislator announced that she had heard from nine other women who claimed Inouye had sexually harassed them over the past decade. But the women didn't go public with their claims, the local press didn't pursue the story, and the Senate Ethics Committee decided to drop the investigation because the accusers wouldn't participate in an inquiry.
REP MEL REYNOLDS (D-Ill.):
Freshman Reynolds was indicted on Aug. 19, 1994, on charges of having sex with a 16-year-old campaign worker and then pressuring her to lie about it. Reynolds, who is black, denied the charges and said the investigation was racially motivated. The GOP belatedly put up a write-in candidate for November, but Reynolds dispatched him in the overwhelmingly Democratic district with little effort. Reynolds was convicted on Aug. 22, 1995 of 12 counts of sexual assault, obstruction of justice and solicitation of child pornography, was sentenced to five years in prison, and resigned his seat on October 1. - Whackly, on 02/08/2009, -18/+50Hold on. This is beyond politics. You can't fault conservatives for the action of this man. You're saying you don't like right wing repression. Are you suggesting that if this person were a democrat they would be unrepressed and would molest children openly? What exactly are you saying?
- banthis, on 02/08/2009, -1/+32What a ***** piece of *****.
- desertmonkey, on 02/08/2009, -5/+36mcquitty, you make a laughable argument. First, we're talking about child molestation, and many of the cases you cite involve prostitution stings, adult sexual harassment and adult gay relationships (didn't realize that being gay meant being perverted). And maybe you should read your list better. I count 2 Republicans here that you list as Democrats (Baumann and Konnyu). Maybe you need a refresher course in high school debating and a remedial reading class too.
- robberry, on 02/08/2009, -2/+30Yet another reason to ban dihydrogen monoxide.
- inactive, on 02/08/2009, -11/+39It has to do with them being the "family values" party...
You people go off on every single lie being spread about Obama day and night on these boards... I guess if this was one of Obama's field managers that was having sex with someone underage, you would be saying nothing right?
Would you have just written what you did? Go ahead and lie...it's what those in your party do best. - inactive, on 02/08/2009, -42/+69I love it when the weekly Republican scandal comes out about some nasty Repuke getting caught trying to anal rape some young male, the apologists say, "I don't care about xxxxxx's sex life. We have a lot more pressing issues in this country right now than who dipped his wick in what.
But when a male Democrat is caught haven't consensual sex with consenting adult female, you never hear the end of it! - brstilson, on 02/08/2009, -2/+29It's never okay to molest children (duh!) but presenting yourself as a pillar of "family values" while doing it is even worse.
- norman619, on 02/08/2009, -0/+26It's sad that you aren't aware of the shinanigans that went down at Boy's Town. Let me fill you in on the basics. The Boy's Town orphanage was being used by many of our elected officials in Washington to have sex with children and to buy drugs. There is a documentary that was going to air on teh Discovery Channel but was suddenly blocked by someone who bought the rights to it and refused to allow it to be aired and then proceeded to try and destroy all copies. Here's the leaked rough version of the documentary that escaped destruction. Thanks to whoever leaked this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?=jQ37lFha8Uo&feat ... - brstilson, on 02/08/2009, -6/+31It's one thing to be a homosexual. It's quite another thing to hide being a homosexual so you can judge and condemn other homosexuals for being homosexuals in order to elevate yourself to a false pedestal of moral purity.
Then again, this has nothing to do with homosexuality. But still, the Republican party has presented itself as the party of "family values." Considering that the majority of sex and drug scandals happen to prominent Republicans, you can't deny that it's a bad reflection of the party as a whole, and presents it in a rather hypocritical light. - misternovember, on 02/08/2009, -15/+40am i seriously being told that im a molester because im a republican by a guy who has DILDO in his ***** username????

I just find it sad that had this come up a few months ago and on the other side, it would be used shamelessly as a vehicle for intellectually dishonest character assassination on fox. Palling around with child molesters...I can see the headline. I can see Hannity raging, taking sideswipes at moral relativism and permissive sexual attitudes while he was at it.
It's really depressing what we call journalism these days. It's not just exclusive to Fox, either, but it's the obvious offender. - DangerCollie, on 02/08/2009, -5/+22This guy has a long history of this behavior. This isn't his first interaction with the law on molestation charges.
And I think dildoolielly has a point. If there was a similarly ugly list of Democrats, Republicans would be throwing it up every chance they got. Masters of the political smear.
Why is it so hard to accept that the party of ignorant fundamentalism would attract whackos, oddballs and perverts? -
