How convenient: 27 Charged In Child Porn Sting

[Imagine My Surprise]

Call me cynical, but how convenient for the toad's administration to make a big sting involving child pornography:

27 charged in child porn sting
Web site containing live 'molestation on demand' shut down

CHICAGO, Illinois (CNN) -- An Internet chat room that streamed video of live child molestations has been shut down, and 27 people have been charged with online child pornography offenses, federal authorities said Wednesday.

"We plan to prosecute them and others involved in this vile chat room to the fullest extent of the law," Attorney General Alberto Gonzales told reporters in Chicago, adding that the victims "are now in safe custody."

Call me cynical, but this kind of thing could occur any day of the week and yet just when asshole's numbers are at their lowest, a "morals" story appears for the sheep.

1. Look! Over there! n/t

[Imagine My Surprise]

4. Exactly. I can't be the only one that recognizes this for what it is

[niyad]

2. baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[seemunkee]

3. And right when they want Google to turn over data

obviously they don't need it if they caught these people but won't keep them from trying to link the two

[Jara sang]

28. Yeah, that is what I was thinking.

2+2=cow for this misadministration, yet the sheeple still believe.

[Imagine My Surprise]

5. I always check out CNN online just to see the latest diversions...

and I sure found one.

[jesus_of_suburbia]

6. I won't take up for these asshole pedos....

But I'll be damned if I'll let the government spy on people without a court order!

[DemInDistress]

7. Same here in NYC...ABC ran that as there top story..

sort of like breaking news..Massive kiddie porn ring busted. I thought the same thing as DOJ fights Google to obtain a phishing license to snoop on us all a child porn ring has been busted. How convenient. Bet we see front page news tomorrow in the papers.

[Imagine My Surprise]

8. Hell yeah, this will be considered good news for dumb ass

[LisaL]

20. So, if Bush had good ratings, they would just say-continue to

molest and rape children and send those images over the net-we don't care?

[Imagine My Surprise]

9. It defies me how Gonzales can say "vile" with a straight face

[Double T]

10. The Champions of the attention redirect.........

are no longer able to draw MOST peoples attention away from their incompetence, bungling and failures. bushco still has plenty of room to drop even lower in the poles.

[SnowGoose]

11. Didn't Bush just have dinner with a porn star?

Hell no, I'm not trying to draw moral equivalency between child porn and 'regular' porn.

I'm just saying that steering the national conversation toward pornography invites discussion of Bush's choice of dinner companions. Perhaps the blogosphere can play a role in reminding people of this.

25. She bought a ticket to a fundraiser — if you're trying to make it an

issue, that dog won't hunt.

[Kurovski]

36. He could have returned the money...BOTH times it happened.

A few years ago Dems returned donations to the Playboy Company because the corporate media made such a big deal out of it for a over a week.

But nary a peep about Mary.

[NYCGirl]

39. Well, actually the Dems were going to HOLD a fundraiser in the Playboy

Mansion, and that's what they had to kill because of the media "outrage".

That's different.

[Kurovski]

44. Thank you for the correction.

It is indeed different. :hi:

[politicaholic]

12. Anytime is a good time to break up a child porn ring in my book...

on a roller coaster, during dinner, or during sex with another consenting adult in a consequence free environment. Anytime's just great.

I doubt this has anything to do with Bush. If I'm wrong then please, go ahead and tell me how this child porn ring's continued prosperity is to the benefit of society.

[LisaL]

14. Exactly.

I am sorry, but some ideas are paranoid? They busted a child porn ring because Bush has low ratings? Sounds like these perverts molested children, including an infant, and send this over the net to their sick perverted friends.. WTF does Bush have to do with it?

[stillcool]

15. wait for the story...

nothing is displayed on national media without motive. Paranoid? NO. Paying Attention.

[EwokMyWeewok]

37. thank you!

hello sanity!

not everything is KKKombo Breaker Karl Rove's plotting.

[Dorian Gray]

40. I agree...

Why is there "outrage" over this. This is a good thing. 27 scumbuckets have been stopped from victimizing children. Not everything is political. I would hope that this would happen no matter who was in office, no matter what political circumstances abounded, and no matter the political climate of the times. They are the worst kind of criminals, and I'm thrilled that this ring of perversion has been busted.

[librechik]

13. and Google records had nothing to do with it.

[blogslut]

21. I would hope not

...considering that the DOJ's demand for Google's search records has nothing to do with stopping CP. The DOJ wants those records in order to buttress their case for COPA.

COPA is the Child Online Protection Act. It's been ruled unconstitutional 3 times and has been thrown back by the SCOTUS twice. The law is designed to keep underage surfers from seeing adult porn. However, it's a badly written law and the last time the SCOTUS threw it back to the lower courts, they did so with the opinion that parents and filtering software would do a better job of protecting kids from seeing adult content than COPA would.

[leftchick]

16. the US KILLED Five Children in Iraq today

that we know of, could be more. It is a smokescreen.

[Neil Lisst]

17. I hate to tell you, but this is just the start of their campaign offensive

They are going to be stroking the base in the next few months about all issues relating to MORALITY.

[gatorboy]

24. And you think this is a bad issue?

Jesus, man. I'm just thankful that this gov't gets something right.

[Neil Lisst]

27. I think this is an issue that fits THEIR base

While everyone is concerned about child porn, when the administration starts pursuing porn, it's about separating themselves from the "left."

They're ramping up for the fall elections.

There will be some FCC fines for some radio or tv groups.

There will be more domestic sabre rattling to get the base stoked.

This is political theatre, and Rove is beginning his attack.

[NYCGirl]

30. So you think they PLANNED this?

Perhaps they should have waited until nearer the midterms.
:sarcasm:

To think that busting this slime is a bad thing IN ANY WAY is the worst kind of cynicism.

[Neil Lisst]

35. you misconstrue my comments

No one said anything about thinking that busting this slime is a bad thing. Surely you're not so naive as to believe the administration doesn't pick and choose its time of disclosures for things such as this.

Instead of addressing the imaginary straw man in your head, try addressing my comments as they are written, not as you pretend them to be.

[NYCGirl]

38. Even with this crowd in the WH, sometimes, JUST SOMETIMES, things are

not political.

[walldude]

18. I can't believe you people

This may be a smokescreen but anytime they want to bust kiddie porn is the right time. You know threads like this are what end up making liberals look insane.

[LisaL]

19. Paranoid. For christ sake, busting a child porn ring is a good thing.

These people are alleged to videotape themselves abusing minors on demand, including an infant, and sending it over the net. To say that these arrests were made because of Bush is insane.

[Dorian Gray]

42. I agree....

Thank God there are some rational voices about this. I am SO disturbed that people think this is a political PLOY! We have some of the worst types of criminals who have aired the footage of them RAPING children, including BABIES, over the internet. And people are complaining about the timing of the story being leaked?

[npincus]

22. you've got that right

conspiracy theorists gone wild.

Bust the fucking scum- anytime, anywhere.

[Pavulon]

33. Here here

This was in the works for years.

If guilty may they suffer in prison and burn in hell.

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

43. Sad but true

So many seem to live in an X-Files fantasy.

[mtnsnake]

23. One at a time, I hope they stick each of those 27 child porn dipshits in

the same jail cell as that priest from Boston, Father whatever the fuck his name is.

[RazzleDazzle]

26. I'll call you worse than cynical

As I understand your post, after careful and deliberate reading, your cynicism is about the timing of the news released about this?

Because you damn sure sound completely and totally uninterested in the fact that children were being molested live, and thankfully the government shut them down and arrested 27 people in the sting. You sound damned uninterested in the plight of the children, or the horrific scourge on our country child pornography and child molestation is.

You sound damned callous.

[Rainscents]

29. Are they going after Women and child beaters next?

I hope so!!! This would put lot of freepers in jail!

My x was women beater and he is freeper.

[jmowreader]

31. I think I see where IMS' consternation comes from

Go to the link and scroll to the end. This ring was busted on March 6.

Today is March 15.

I don't know about y'all, but it appears to me that they saved the announcement of this arrest until they needed to knock some bad news about Unitary Executive George the First off the front page.

[NYCGirl]

32. It says one was arrested on 3/6, another is mentioned as wiping computers

on the 9th, and a third is still being sought.

There was bad news for the GOP going on March 6th, too.

[Balbus]

34. Yeah, I'm sure those kids could've put up with the molestations...

a little while longer in order to not cause a diversion from Bush's low poll numbers. Selfish little brats. Kids nowdays...
