6. Ever notice it isn't left wing personalities that get busted with child porn?
Maybe the right wing bluster and uber-Christian blather is a cover, just like the character Tartuffe.

11. Actually a left-wing radio host got arrested for child porn a couple years ago.
I'm blanking on his name. Can anyone help out?

be heavily weighted on the right.

5. I wonder how a search warrant was put together to take computers?
The police determined he was in possession of two illegal guns and then get a search warrant for what?

I don't condone child pornography, but I'll be interested to learn how finding someone with an illegal gun turns into confiscating computers.

is fair game. This is what we were all screaming about. The whole "Patriot Act" was an assault on civil liberties. But the Repugs got exactly what they wanted. Tough when it bites them in the ass.

47. Not just illegal guns.. Stolen. They got a warrant to see what other stolen
property this asshole was collecting. This was perfectly legal and valid.

45. Thanks for that.
I was only able to load 48 of 50 some whatevers, and the page locked up, but I was able to read the article. Guess it was just ads that didn't load. Sounds like he may still be in jail, but with $7,000 bail he only has to come up with $700 to pay the bail bondsman.

21. This guy was a "mini-Rush"
He was arrogant, intolerant, misogynist, racist, and constantly regurgitated Limbaugh phraseology as a dog whistle to the ditto-heads in the area. He was sickening to listen to. Just dredging up the hateful nuts in this area.

I put this up on the Kentucky State group on DU this morning, I am glad to see up here as well. I see a definite pattern in these hateful, authoritarian conservatives; we peons have to obey the law, and we get talked about like dogs for simply wanting progress, but his kind sees themselves as the Lords of the Manor, and laws don't apply to them.

Guns and Kiddie Porn, what else out of an authoritarian wing-nut.

36. As Bill Hicks once stated...
...anyone that far to the right is hiding a deep, dark secret (paraphrased).

Let me guess, he was doing "research", right? The stolen guns are a nice touch too.

44. A few months ago another Clear Channel repuke here in Orlando got into some trouble
Shannon Burke, host of The Shannon Burke Show on Real Radio 104.1 WTKS, was arrested Thursday night and charged with aggravated battery with a weapon and animal cruelty. Monday afternoon, Real Radio 104.1 announced that Burke had been fired.

According to the arrest report from the Seminole County Sheriff's Office, Burke got into a verbal argument with his wife, Catherine Burke, Thursday night.

At some point Burke grabbed his .40-caliber handgun from the closet and threatened his wife with it, then, according to the report, he pointed the gun at the couple's dog.

Deputies said the handgun discharged, but did not specify if the shooting was intentional. The bullet went through the dog's leg and hit Catherine Burke in the head.

"I was playing with a gun. I didn't know it was loaded. It went off and I've hit my wife in the head. She's all right. It just cut her skin and she's bleeding really bad," Burke said on the 911 tape.
