Obama tangles with online pervert

[cali]

Here's a really revolting story. I found out about it because it was posted in freeperville. You don't even want to know what some of the cretins had to say.

Photos of pol's daughters were posted on pedophile's web site
MARCH 4--Senator Barack Obama is threatening legal action against a self-described pedophile who has posted photos of the Democratic politician's young daughters on a web site that purports to handicap the 2008 presidential campaign by evaluating the "cuteness" of underage daughters and granddaughters of White House aspirants. In a February 26 letter to the web site's operator, an Obama lawyer demanded the removal of a photo of the Illinois senator's two daughters, noting that the image's inclusion on a site advocating pedophilia "is not simply defamatory, but is a criminal act." Robert Bauer, general counsel for Obama for America, also demanded that references to Obama and his family be scrubbed from the site and that a link to the candidate's web site also be removed. A copy of the Bauer letter can be found below. Responding to the legal demand, the site's owner, who identifies himself as Lindsay Ashford, deleted the photo of Obama's children, Malia, 8, and Sasha, 5. However, he continues to link to Obama's campaign web site and refer to the politician and his family, claiming that his comments are "laudatory," not defamatory. On his creepy web site, puellula.com, which is registered from a Panamanian address, Ashford notes that his Latin nickname translates to "lover of little girls." He claims to "have been bestowed with the gift of girllove. I have chosen to unmask here because I have a very strong conviction that I should not be forced to hide my sexual orientation."

5. I went to freeperville and alot of them were condemning the pervert.

they did not seem to be getting chuckles out of it. I read about 15.

7. Yeah, At FreeRepublic

it seems most of them condemn this sort of thing.

there were a few Clinton "jokes" and a few posts saying Obama deserved it either because of his (wife's) support of Planned Parenthood or because the Democrats support sexual immorality (homosexuals).

The prevailing mood seems to be sympathy. Even the "he deserves it" crowd doesn't seem to really wish a pedophile on him, so much as they are being smug about the "wages of sin." I guess it is easier for them to say "I told you so" than to sympathize with a man they dislike. Besides, by making it Obama's (or the Democrats') fault, they can be snug in their delusion that such a thing would never happen to them.

8. Yeah, most of them are condemning it while blaming liberals

making disgusting remarks about Clinton, suggesting that Obama set this up himself, making disgusting remarks about gays, and then there's this, which has not been deleted and which no one has condemned. Yep, they're just so righteous, those vile little freepers.

I think this is great, these scum bags support gay rights but when it comes back to them well they wnat to act differently.

NAMBLA is part of the gay rights movement.

10. This is ridiculous

Not only do the democratic candidates have to campaign to overcome the republican swifboating and slurring they are now faced with the defamation of their children. These people should be arrested. This is scary.
