Will the MSM Use the terms 'Republican' 'Homosexual' 'Underage' 'Pedophile

[JCMach1]

Concerning Foley... Remember what they did concerning Clinton...

We should demand that they TALK THE TRUTH here and not sugarcoat it.

[gully]

1. For about a day,

then they'll start talking about Clinton's "issue" again.

[thepurpose]

2. Why Homosexual? Homsexual does not mean you pray on children.

[JCMach1]

3. You could add 'pedophile' to the list... but definitely those

were the implied activities here

Or 'implied sex with an underage boy'

[CarbonDate]

4. Pedophile should roll off of our tongues....

...like "semen stained dress" rolled off theirs.

"Covered for a pedophile." Let's not hedge on this. Foley is a pedophile and Hastert covered for him. This is a fucking gift from the stars.

[JCMach1]

8. Democratic talking point 'Congressional/Republican Pedophiles'

Insert the word everywhere...

That is for the lurking Washington aides...

[Drifter]

7. WRONG ...

please look up the definition of Pedophile.

We look stupid when we use this term in this case.

Cheers

9. Doesn't matter... it's about perceptions... it even sounds nasty

even mispronounce it if you are a Southern Congressman

say 'PeeDoeFile'

Sounds very vile

14. Drifter, there are dictionary definitions

Pedophile; A person has recurrent, intense sexually arousing fantasies, sexual urges, or behaviors involving sexual activity with a prepubescent child or children

Hebephile; A condition in which an adult is sexually attracted to post-pubertal adolescents

Ephebopilia; A condition in which an adult is sexually attracted to young people about the age of puberty

and the Legal definitions

Pedophile; A person who has recurrent, intense sexually arousing fantasies, sexual urges, or behaviors involving sexual activity with a person who, in law, is a child (ie anyone classed as a child by the law of the state arresting them so for the majority of the US 18)

18. Since marriage is legal at 16 in Washington DC

(with the consent of a parent), and the same applies in Florida, and, accordin to the websites I've found, Louisiana, I would dispute that legally, 18 is the age at which pedophilia is determined. If it is, then there can be legalised pedophilia in DC and Florida.

20. Ages of consent - difficult

Federal age of consent - 18 if using post, telecoms or internet for enticement and also for transport across state lines. For "non-commercial" sexual acts 16 or, as long as the older party is within 4 years of the younger, as young as 12. Congressman Foley is a federal criminal :evilgrin:

Otherwise state laws apply
eg Delaware 16 if older partner is more than 4 years older than younger. 12 otherwise.
Colorado - no age lower limit if partner within 4 years, 15 if partner less than 10 years older. Also consent for marriage is 14 for boys 12 for girls.

Parental consent is needed for the those deemed minors which varies by state between 16 and 18 (so "Romeo and Juliet" advocates illegal activity!)

In general, where such acts are not illegal, homosexual age of consent is the same as the non-parental consent age but in a lot of states gay sex is illegal.

10. Adult man soliciting underage boys = homosexual pedophile.

As I understand the story the term is appropriate.

What am I missing here?

On edit: REPUBLICAN homosexual pedophile.

I know the conventional Republican framing incorrectly colludes homosexuality with pedophilia, however in this case the context appears wholly appropriate.

[terrya]

16. That's going to sadly be the spin around some quarters.

There are some people...some sadly ignorant people...who still equate homosexuality with pedophilia, And they are going to use the term "homosexual pedophile" every chance they get.

[HardRocker05]

19. man sleeps w/ girls = pedophile; man sleeps w/ boys = homosexual?

at least you put pedophile in there, but the fact is that nobody ever says "heterosexual pedophile," as if heterosexual was part of the accusation.

[Divernan]

12. I think you meant to type "prey on children", not "pray on children"

nt

5. Got up this morning and CNN did not have a word about

"rock hard" "one-eyed snakes" or towels, like it is some sort of a secret what this perv said.

[JCMach1]

6. In their defense, this is early in the spin cycle

I am interested in how they handle it from here...

[Rabrrrrrr]

11. No, they'll use "Not as bad as Clinton" and "No blue dress, like Clinton,

so difficult to tell if this is true or not" and "possible democratic setup" and "Not abusing the people's house like Clinton" and "at least he wasn't phoning China for campaign donations".

[jimshoes]

17. I bet you're right

This won't get reported without bringing Clinton into it in some way. It's always Clinton's fault with these anaccountable misfit miscreants.

[sweetheart]

13. Generous Onry Paedophiles

Gripping On Penises
Grafting Our Pensions
Gesticulating Obscure Perversions
Greed Over Preversions
Groping Old Perverts

There is the pathology of the republicans to think
like underage children. It is not a suprise they
behave like children or that they want sex with
children as they themselves have not grown up,
and have never taken a responsibility in their
lives for anything, not a thing.
