Looks like the state GOP damage control efforts are kicking into high gear, feeding information to our good friend Stefan at (un)Sound Politics. Stefan complains that this is not a “fake” sex offender postcard at all, but actually represents a real live sex offender from Pierce County.
Oh. Well forgive me for not figuring that out. Stupid me (and Jon and Richard) were looking in Clark, Walla Walla, Kitsap, and King counties… you know… where the bulk of the postcards were actually mailed. You see, when we read the bold print at the top that said “This violent predator lives in your community” we just assumed the state GOP meant the community of the person receiving the postcard. Silly us.
Rep. Bill Grant represents the 16th Legislative District in faraway Walla Walla County. I sincerely doubt his constituents consider Pierce County to be their community.
Of course, then Stefan tries to switch the discussion off his GOP overlords getting caught in a disgusting and irresponsible dirty trick, and move onto the Republican meme that Democrats are soft on crime:
I suspect that part of the reason that the Ds wanted lesser sentences for offenders who are known to their victims is not, as publicly stated, to ensure more convictions of creepy uncles, but to protect teachers who prey on their students.
You know what Stefan… fuck you. If you actually believe that Dems would protect teachers unions over sexually abused children then you are just plain sick. And if you don’t believe it, then your are as dishonest and conscienceless as the GOP operatives who designed and executed this disgusting fear campaign.

Cougar that is a good observation you made and I have to agree for the most part. The world is a great place and many countries are fun to visit, but the people are the greatest entertainment. I cannot wait to head back to South West Asia and meet some open-minded folks for a good conversation.

“Wabbit why do you insist in protecting the teachers union? If everything is on the up and up there should be no problem with an investigation, right?”
You didn’t even read my post, did you? I agree with the school district AND teachers union that the identities of accused teachers who were not found to have committed wrongdoing is none of the Seattle Times’ business. What the Times wants goes way beyond what the Washington Supreme Court said newspapers are entitled to.

Disgruntled Dems Consider Challenge to Lieberman

WASHINGTON — Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman may be some Republicans’ idea of a good Democrat, but a growing number of fellow party members in his home state couldn’t disagree more.
“It’s at the point where he’s no longer interested in his own party’s opinion, he’s really out of touch with reality,” said Mitchell Fuchs, chairman of the Fairfield Democratic Town Committee in Connecticut. “For me, he’s crossed the line a number of times.”
Passions flared after Lieberman’s recent trip to Iraq. Upon his return, the three-term senator pointed to what he views as progress on the ground there and suggested that Democrats should avoid harsh criticisms of President Bush’s Iraq policy.
In turn, Republicans and administration officials, including Bush, used the senator’s comments to bolster their case for war and underscore Lieberman’s differences with other Democratic leaders on the issue. Republicans have since charged that Democrats lack a coherent, unified message on Iraq.
The series of events has sparked petitions and protests outside of Lieberman’s district office in Hartford and prompted a potential challenge from a former and formidable political foe.
That’s okay Mark, it ain’t a simple matter of “libruls” getting taken down. Martin has suffered for most of his term due to the ongoing sponsorship investigations. Guilty or not, his party suffered in the polls. That doesn’t make liberalism (Canadian style) a failure, unless of course you believe that corruption is built in to the concept of Canadian liberalism and does not exist elsewhere in Canadian politics.
But hey — there’s one of the benefits of the parliamentary system: you don’t have to wait till the next election cycle to force a sitting government out. Something tells me that, if we had a similar system down here, the Bushies would be out on their keisters next week.
99
Lieberman is a crypto-Republican. The sooner he leaves the Democratic party, the better.
By the way, something tells me that if the Bushies were out on their keisters next week, we’d stop hearing about the impending doom sure to be visited upon us by the Iranians and their proto-nukes.
Well, the greeting Goldy offers Stephan is certainly appropriate for the subject. However, the action described by Goldy was not directed toward adults. But, hey, he does it for the children.

Wait, maybe there is a reason the right wing has been keeping quiet on this one. Let’s face it, the analogy doesn’t bode well for you.

Canadian Teen’s Slaying Kindles U.S.-Style Gun Control Debate

TORONTO — Jane Creba, 15, was browsing the Boxing Day sales with her older sister when she started crossing the street to look for sneakers. She stepped into a spray of gunfire between rival teenage gangs in the middle of the busy downtown shopping district.
Creba died from a single bullet, and six other people were wounded. The Dec. 26 incident climaxed a year of sensational shootings here, propelling the issue of gun violence to the top of the national debate during an election season.
A woman leaves flowers at the downtown Toronto site where Jane Creba was shot while shopping with her sister a day after Christmas. Crime has become a hot campaign issue leading up to parliamentary elections next Monday. (By Frank Gunn — Canadian Press Via Associated Press)

The War on Guns
The death of the bright 10th-grader brought a call by Prime Minister Paul Martin for a ban on handguns, which are already tightly regulated. It also prompted a chorus of demands for tougher laws and more police in a country that prides itself on safety and moderation.
“It never used to be like this,” said Mabel Clarke, 74, who lives downtown. “You used to be able to walk on the main street, even at night. Now I can’t walk anywhere without looking over my shoulder.”
Toronto posted a 15-year high in the rate of homicides with firearms in 2005, and the press and the public have begun to fret that the country is becoming infected by the lethal ways of the United States.
“Canadians deserve safe streets. Toronto isn’t Detroit. Vancouver isn’t south Los Angeles,” Martin said. “We are not going to allow our cities to fall into mindless violence.”

Anti-U.S. Tack Backfires On Canada’s Liberals
By Doug Struck
Washington Post Foreign Service
Saturday, January 21, 2006; A12
BURLINGTON, Canada — Rob Hlohinec, 58, doesn’t see what’s so bad about Americans. He even admits to knowing some.
“I’ve talked to Americans. They want the same things we want,” Hlohinec said as he watched a Conservative Party campaign rally in this Ontario town last week.
At his side, Irene Heller, 82, agreed. She said that was one reason she would vote to replace the government headed by the Liberal Party’s Paul Martin in Canadian national elections on Monday. Martin, she said, uses anti-Americanism to try to win votes.
“He gets votes when he knocks America, and I don’t approve of that,” said Heller, who braved a sleet storm to attend the rally.
Heller’s and Hlohinec’s candidate, Conservative leader Stephen Harper, holds a strong lead in public opinion polls, fueled largely by dissatisfaction with 12 years of Liberal rule. Among the dissatisfied are voters unhappy with the growing divide between Canada and the United States.
Polls show a deep antipathy among Canadians toward the Bush administration, made more acute by the invasion and occupation of Iraq. That has carried over to a more general anti-Americanism, and academics here have made a cottage industry of talking about the divergence of values between Canadians and Americans.
Martin sought to corral that sentiment by portraying Harper as dangerously pro-American. But the strategy appeared to backfire in this campaign, exacerbating his slide in the polls.
“In the last campaign, those attack ads worked. This time they won’t. People are just fed up,” said Peter Bryce, 46, a financial manager who said the political rally in this town west of Toronto was the first he had attended.
The Conservative Party’s lead in the polls hovers at about 10 percentage points, putting the party in position to lead a coalition government that would probably be more in tune with the Bush administration.
The Liberal Party’s attack on Harper’s American sympathies was mostly political posturing; Martin himself has sought good relations with the United States. But his party has a mixed history on the issue. The prime minister had to expel one member of Parliament who stomped on a Bush doll on television, and a spokeswoman for his Liberal Party predecessor, Jean Chretien, referred to the American president as a “moron.”
The Liberals were resorting to a campaign tactic that had worked before; they successfully erased Harper’s lead in the polls in the last election, in 2004, by painting him as too pro-American. But this time, some Canadians say they feel the anti-Americanism has gone too far.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/.....01834.html
Not a surprise Klake, the political pendulum swings every decade. The difference seems to be that this time it will be 6-8 years here in the USA as virtually all polls say the RepubliCONS must GO.

Castro offers eye care for US poor
by
Monday 23 January 2006 7:59 PM GMT
The Cuban leader has been a bitter foe of the United States
Fidel Castro, the Cuban president, has offered free eye operations to impoverished Americans and asked the US government to let them travel to his country for treatment.
Castro made the offer late on Sunday as he criticised American policies toward his country during a three-hour appearance on state television and announced a protest march for Tuesday outside the American embassy in Havana.
Because travel to Cuba by most Americans is prohibited under US sanctions, Castro asked US authorities to give Americans official permission to travel to Cuba for the operations.
“We’re ready to send an airplane to Florida to pick them up,” Castro said. Cuba would foot the costs of flights, accommodation and the surgery, Castro said.
Cuba has all the equipment and specialised personnel considered among the best specialists in the world, he said. He asked if the US government would prohibit those people from travelling to the island and “sentence them to blindness”.
However, political relations between America and Cuba are worsening so American approval to let its citizens travel – even for health reasons – appeared unlikely.
Cuba teamed up with Venezuela in recent months for a free eye surgery programme that brings impoverished people from around the region to the island for free treatment.
Venezuela, meanwhile, recently expanded its programme to provide subsidised heating oil to poor Americans

What’s the big deal? Nothing new about Democrats fighting among themselves. Have you forgotten that’s what we were doing when you fascists showed up? Thanks to Bush, the Democratic Party is more united than it has been in 75 years!

Exactly my thoughts.
Caning would be great RR, but it would take weeks as first they would have to do sexuality tests on all the wingnuts. Singapore does not allow to cane women or sex changed men.
Hey Goldy
Why dont you take this creep in then we will know where he lives.ill help you move him in.and im sure all your friends will help out to.
Speaking of which, the latest Senate polling data show the D has overtaken the R in Missouri, and the D is coasting toward an easy win in Michigan. http://www.davidwissing.com/in.....06-senate/
Rabbit
Fuck your polls Bush is president you lost get a life.like i always told you you need to get laid.
If the Democrats capture even one house of Congress, as appears certain, Bush’s presidency is effectively over. If we win big in both houses, we can impeach him — and don’t think for a moment that we won’t.
A majority of the American people now favor impeachment. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, nazi.

What’s your point, Klake? Packing heat reduces violence? Not here in Washington, which has the least restrictive CCW law in America. Teenagers get shot on the streets here, too. Yah right, if everyone carried there would be no gangs or shootings. God, how is it possible for anyone to be as dumb as Klake?

Yeah, I see what you mean. Since all Republicans are sexless, they have a defense against caning.

I don’t feel like fucking my polls. If they were female bunnies, it would be different. Tell you what. How about it, instead of fucking my polls, I shove them up your ass the day after the election.
Hmmm, there’s strawberry jam stuck in my key%boa&rd again. Wonder how it got there?
RR, Sharkansky is so ‘plastic’ and “fake”, maybe those strawberrie you saw in his garden were really ‘strawberry jam’
I would ask you to check out http://www.preservechildhoodinnocence.com/
This of course if you are really concerned about putting the creeps, no not the republican leadership , behind bars . I am talking about the perverts ending childhood for the kids they rape . Also I am going to do my best, and many others also to do anything politically possible to expose any candidate that will support the present democratic party present plan . They get tough only on the perverts as long as they do not know their victim , but for some reason not if they know their victim . So if your a friend of the family , a step father , teacher, or etc , you get a lesser sentence . One big happy perverted family I guess ? Statistically about 90 percent of the perpetuators are known to the victim . The Dad who started Jessic’a laws to be passed through other states was p her recently , I guess the people who read this type of blog did not hear his story . A person who had already been conviced of sex crimes and released savagely molsted and murdered his daughter . Quite a sad story , amazing you don’t deal with that issue here .
As far as the postcards, how many people have seen where sex offenders have moved into their neighborhoods with “likely will re offend” stated about them in the newspaper . What the hell are we allowing people like this out after they have committed the un imaginable on the most vulernable .
A majority of the American people now favor impeachment. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, nazi.
Dream on Homey
Are you sure it’s not the Libs/Dems that are doing spin control? Sure looks like it to me. The statements about the WA Congressmen on the postcard are correct after all.
Hm…that borerline crazy-beard guy at SP (and the fat white guys at the GOP) are trying to take a real problem and simply politicize it, without caring about the outcome. The Democrats are listening to prosecutors and victims’ rights advocates to shape a legislative fix to the real problem. I think I’ll go with the Democrats….
Stephan is a sick, ugly little man with a twisted mind and no balls.
HEY RABBIT WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE TO MEET TO SHOVE YOUR POLLS .ID BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO RIP YOUR FUCKIN HEAD OFF AND SHIT DOWN YOUR WIND PIPE.
SMOKIN IN THE BOYS ROOM THATS WHY WE NEED A BILL ON SEX CRIMES TO PROTECT THE STATE FROM PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO GO AROUND LOOKING AT PEOPLES BALLS.SEE A DOCTOR SOON HE MAY BE ABLE TO HELP YOU.
YO – WOW YOU’RE VIOLENT. HOWEVER, YOU’VE GOT TO STOP “ERUPTING” DROOL AND “OTHER STUFF” ON YOUR K/B IF YOU’RE GOING TO WALK-THE-WALK ON THE STREETS AND NOT JUST TALK-THE-TALK HERE AND AT (UN)SP.
then you are just plain sick… then your are as dishonest and conscienceless as the GOP operatives..
Talk about stating the obvious!
One can sure tell when the righties hit a soft spot on the lefties. Ouch…

TIME MAGAZINE: BUSH LIED ABOUT RELATIONSHIP WITH ABRAMOFF
“As details poured out about the illegal and unseemly activities of Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff, White House officials sought to portray the scandal as a Capitol Hill affair with little relevance to them. … ‘The President does not know him, nor does the President recall ever meeting him,’ McClellan said.
“The President’s memory may soon be unhappily refreshed. TIME has seen five photographs of Abramoff and the President that suggest a level of contact between them that Bush’s aides have downplayed. …
“In one shot that TIME saw, Bush appears with Abramoff, several unidentified people and Raul Garza Sr., a Texan Abramoff represented who was then chairman of the Kickapoo Indians, which owned a casino in southern Texas. Garza, who is wearing jeans and a bolo tie in the picture, told TIME that Bush greeted him as “Jefe,” or “chief” in Spanish. Another photo shows Bush shaking hands with Abramoff in front of a window and a blue drape. The shot bears Bush’s signature, perhaps made by a machine. Three other photos are of Bush, Abramoff and, in each view, one of the lobbyist’s sons (three of his five children are boys). A sixth picture shows several Abramoff children with Bush and House Speaker Dennis Hastert, who is now pushing to tighten lobbying laws after declining to do so last year when the scandal was in its early stages.”

“Of course, then Stefan tries to switch the discussion off his GOP overlords getting caught in a disgusting and irresponsible dirty trick, and move onto the Republican meme that Democrats are soft on crime”
Stefan has repeatedly proven himself a shameless, cowardly, shill for GOP bullshit. You’ll never find an honest thought on Sucky Politics.
Steffy would rather see the GOP protect pervs like Jim West. That would be okay with Steffy who happens to be the president of the Log Cabin republicans if my memory serves me.
Stefan’s pathetic little blog is merely a minor cog in the Republican noise machine. I wonder how much they pay him?
GOP = party of sleaze
Stefan’s an emabarrasment to the republicans.
Instead of publicly deploring a deplorable act…he creates an absurd defense of it.
Makes you think Stefan’s not about honesty, integrity, fairness. It’s really about defending republicans at every turn and painting democrats as evil.
Sad. But illuminating. Stefan…what a great chance to decry awful behavior. You blew it…but I guess you never had the desire to be fair about all this.
The left must defend the sex offenders lest they lose a large segment of their voters.
Why is there so much attention to SP over here at HA? Must be jealous.
Why is there so much attention to SP over here at HA? Must be jealous.
Are you familiar with the concept commonly referred to as “irony?” Your post is a great example of it.
As I mentioned in another posting, this guy lives by me.
And as an FYI, it is in Kilmer’s district and I did not get one of the postcards in the mail. And I am an active registered voter.
I’m not condoning what the GOP did, but the guy they used is a really bad guy. I think if you do a search at the news tribune you will find a couple of articles on him from a couple of years ago.
Here is a suggestion. How about coming up with a good solution as to what to do with these guys? Just bashing others ideas does not really accomplish anything.
Our Libertarian buddy, Richard “Can’t Win an Election” Pope, has fingered the guy in the photo as Leroy Alvin York, a child molester residing in Pierce County.
http://pso.co.pierce.wa.us/3/yorkla.htm
“The fellow … was convicted of his child sex crimes in Pierce County Superior Court No. 82-1-00357-5. And he was just convicted of a drug possession offense two years ago in Pierce County Superior Court No. 04-1-00030-2. Apparently, he did serve a substantial stretch in the Washington state prison system, since his parole was apparently revoked sometime in 1985 and he did not register as a sex offender until March 3, 2002. Comment by Richard Pope— 1/23/06 @ 2:24 pm”
ROGER RABBIT POLL
The Republicans concealed Leroy Alvin York’s identity because:
[ ] 1. They’re afraid he’ll sue them for harassment,
[ ] 2. They’re too lazy to copy and paste a different photo for each legislative district,
[ ] 3. They got a bulk printing rate by using the same flyer for the entire state,
[ ] 4. They don’t want voters to know this guy doesn’t live in their community,
[ ] 5. They’ve got an office betting pool going on who’ll finger him first,
[ ] 6. They don’t want him arrested before he can reoffend,
[ ] 7. All of the above.
Now, you may ask, why wouldn’t the Republicans want him arrested BEFORE he reoffends? Simple. So they can blame his next crime on the Democrats — which won’t work if a Democratic prosecutor in a Democratic county puts him in jail.
The goopers will gladly sacrifice a child or two in order to score a few political points against the Democrats.
After all, they kill women and children in Iraqi and Afghan villages almost every day.

“How about coming up with a good solution as to what to do with these guys?”
Run them over in crosswalks with unmarked vans.
Hey, all you wingfuck trolls, the Bashful Bunny is posting some really ugly comments about you today! Hell, I’ve even accused you of hoping this creep victimizes another kid so you can blame it on the Democrats! Man o man, how nasty can I get? Do you like it? I hope so, because this is the kind of shit you bastards do to us, and it’s high time you got a good tablespoon full of your own medicine! Why should you Pukes have a monopoly on name calling and vicious insinuation? You selfish pricks want a monopoly on every fucking thing!! You don’t have to hog all the name calling and vicious insinuation, you know — there’s plenty to go around! Hey, if you don’t like it, fuck you!!!
Or, better yet, fuck your armadillo. She’s lonely, and she’s waiting for you.
How about coming up with a good solution as to what to do with these guys?
What’s so wrong about what’s being done now that warrants a partisan mailing in multiple districts and a cable tv advertising blitz.
This is dirty GOP partisan politics. NOTHING MORE!
Rabbit,
Looks like you have silenced them with your usual intelligent witty banter.
By the way I vote #7
StT @ 11- that is precisely what the GOP is not doing. Their bullshit shows they don’t care about the issue, they’re just after votes.
The GOP says the Dems are pro-sex offender because they won’t vote on their bill the first fucking day… Amazing! Dems would rather follow the advice of law and order pros, but the GOP would rather grandstand.
I thought we could work together on this stuff, and not make it a big political football.
AOL POLL SHOWS BUSH SUPPORT ERODING
How would you describe President Bush’s recent performance?
Getting worse 43%
Getting better 39%
No change 18%
Total Votes: 57,727
If you could vote again, would you change your 2004 vote?
No 50%
Yes, I’d vote for Kerry 30%
Yes, I’d vote for Bush 20%
Total Votes: 61,229
Let’s examine these figures. First of all, we can safely assume that most of the 20% (approximately 12,250 people) who said they’d switch their vote from Kerry to Bush are Republican liars who voted for Bush in Nov. 2004, so what we see here is roughly 25% of the electorate switching their vote from Bush to Kerry. That gives Kerry a 74% to 26% victory over Bush (49% + 25%). The midterms this fall should be interesting … betcha the Republican Corruption Club loses 100+ seats.

“I thought we could work together on this stuff, and not make it a big political football.”
What on earth made you think that? There’s no chance whatsoever of working with these guys on anything. All they want to do is play football, and they even cheat at football.
Interesting….
RR does not see child molesters as a human predator obviously…..
Roger, why are you and Goldy in support of Chil Molesters?
“Roger Rabbit doesn’t like criminals. There are many reasons why. One reason is Roger Rabbit has a human daughter who had a close encounter with a serial killer – way too close. Fortunately, RR’s daughter escaped with her life but it was a real close call. Roger Rabbit has no use for human predators, and as far as RR is concerned, any state that can catch them is more than welcome to kill them.
Comment by Roger Rabbit — 12/13/05 @ 4:43 am”
All of this makes you wonder what the reason for the minnow not using his real name (Shraransky) is. What sort of backdoor deal did he cut with the GOP?
So RR…
We can Kill predators but not sentence them?
27
Momus, why are you in favor of recidivism?
If Bush attacks the patriotism of Democratic congressmen and senators in his The-Union-Is-A-Mess-Because-of-Me speech, the Democrats should get up, turn their backs on him, and walk out!

The problem with capital punishment for these guys is that it takes too long. If they can convict a guy at 9:00 AM, there’s no reason he can be deceased before lunch.
Yep, occasionally we’re gonna convict and do-in the wrong guy, but, hey, if ya run a big operation, ya gotta expect a few loses along the way!
I think in instances such as child molestation, especially violent casees, that recidivism is a more likely end result than rehabilitation.
If in fact the death penalty (as you are clearly stating you would support) would be proposed for child molesters, I would agree with you.
Momus, how big is West’s pecker? Seems like you might know.
The distinction here is not whether you like sexual predators, it is how many are you willing to get off the streets.
If the professionals are saying that sentencing certain crimes different from another gets more molesters off the streets, then lets do it.
The Republicans are not serious about this issue and only want to try and create yet another cheap political ploy which is and will backfire on them. But for those who want to try and pretend they have a point let me ask this question.
Would you rather imprison 1 child molester for life while 10 go free because relatives would not testify. Or would you rather we lock all 10 up for 10-30 years and then monitor them should they ever get out?
The cops and the prosecutors who do this every day say option number 2 is better. Who the hell do you think you are to disagree?
But heck, if we are dealing with this emotionally, why not torture the guys first, then kill them? It might be good vengeance and play well in a sound bite, but it is crappy law and doesn’t get results. Hey, it’s the perfect Republican plan!!!
where/when is goldy going to brag about his buddy Connelly mentioning him?
gee, other than Nazi comparisons, we can count on goldy for self promotion…

“betcha the Republican Corruption Club loses 100+ seats.”
I’ll take that action. What are the stakes?
Moonbat Poll: Are you more concerned about:
1) Iraq
2) Iran
The two countries provide textbook perfect examples of two competing ways of the civilized world dealing with evil.
With Iraq, we saw evil and called it what it was. We went in and destroyed their ability to make war. Our victory is totally assured and very nearly complete.
With Iran, we see the moonbat way. France, Germany, the UN and American moonbats sought to understand the mullahs and their feeeelings. Words were spoken. Papers were written. Empty and meaningless threats were made. Iranian leadership see it for what it is and say “Fuck You Weak Spineless Assholes”. This approach goes back to the ’70s when Nobel Prize winning Worst President Of The Twentieth Century began the noble tradition of letting Iran get away with bullshit.
So when nukes go off and there are a few million people dead, when oil is $300/bbl if you can get it, and gas is $10/gal, and the global economy is in a shambles, whose fault will it be? Will that finally convince you fucking idiots that evil must be confronted?
Why attend the state of the union? I can already tell you what the state of our union is….
We have a republican white house and congress that’s created the largest budget deficits and the largest budget in history…
We’re loooooosing jobs at an alarming rate, i.e., another 30k out at Ford on Baby Bush’s watch….
We’re dropping money through a bottomless pit into Iraq in order to appease the extreme right but we’re not accomplishing anything. The second we’re gone they’ll do what they’ve done for 1000s of years, civil war….
We have a white house that condones outing CIA operatives, eroding our national security….
We have a white house that thinks the US Constitution is just a piece of paper that doesn’t mean a thing….
We have a republican-controlled congress that’s up to its ass in illegal money with lots of indictments to come….
We have a country that’s on the verge of being turned into a theocracy….
We have the whole world mad at us….
We’ve ruined the environment, destroyed our kids future, mortgaged their future, done away with their possibility for a good education and played politics with everything from the sanctity of life to child molestation….
Now you know the state of the union!
So when nukes go off and there are a few million people dead, when oil is $300/bbl if you can get it, and gas is $10/gal, and the global economy is in a shambles, whose fault will it be? Will that finally convince you fucking idiots that evil must be confronted?
You’re sounding like a doomer, MTR. Remember, your buddy Shrubya and the Abramoff Congress is in charge.
They’ll save your sorry butt from “evil”.
Mark’s scared shitless.
Hate to say, but Stefan is right on this one. The teacher’s union has a long history of protecting predatory teachers, and merely incompetent ones.
WALK OUT WALK OUT, MTR just get the fuck up and walk out of HA. You fucking moron. When the nukes go off, you won’t need to worry about the price of gas. You will be more worried about the funny sores on your skin and the knowledge that no matter how much duct tape and plastic you put on your windows, YOU ARE GOING TO DIE!!!!! You are the fucking idiot, MTR.

Comment by Roger Rabbit— 1/23/06 @ 3:22 pm
Roger who are you referring to as killing women and children in Iraq and Afghan villages almost every day? Those people who run polls of spineless folks who are afraid of their own shadow? You know the ones who think we are losing the war in South West Asia. They also export their homeless into other neighor-hoods in tent cities because they lack compassion to help them. Roger who is supporting the al-Qaida terrorist, and Osama bin Laden because the hate President Bush with greater emotions? War is hell Roger you have been there but our troops do not kill women and children like those you support. Roger you have to let go of that baggage you pick up in Viet Nam. The War we are fighting today is not the same war you fought then and now.
MTR @ 39
I’m actually more concerned about the current administration’s belligerent stand against both nations. For starters, I think your argument about Iraq is more or less negated by the fallacy from which it proceeds: that we invaded Iraq to rid the country/region of evil. This eventually was one of the administration’s stated objective, which came after a long list of failed rationales: the “gathering and real” danger of Iraqi WMD’s, the supposed links with al-Qaeda, etc.
Vis à vis Iran, I think it’s pretty clear that this administration has had this nation in its sights for quite some time — certainly for several years preceding this most recent election? Why? People more knowledgeable than me have speculated, whether it be pressure from agents of Israel within the government (I mean “agent” in its generic sense, i.e. someone who acts on behalf of, or advocates a position for a party), whether it be to broaden the strategic US presence in the region, perhaps to have more secure access to the Caspian Sea oil bed, etc. Whatever the reasoning, I think any military action against Iran — which I hate to add is probably inevitable at this point — will have disastrous consequences both for the region as well as for the American presence in that part of the world.
If you’d like to know what “moonbats” have been thinking about this, well, a lot of us have been reading, digesting expert opinions, examining the recent past of the country (remember Mossadeq?). This ain’t exactly taking the “emotional” pulse of the mullahs — I couldn’t really give two shits what they feel — but rather a critical examination of the motives of the various parties involved: the Iranian government and its factions, the US and Israel, the Iranian electorate, and so forth.
By the way, to see a real, certifiable “moonbat” in action on this matter, you’d do well to check out Amy Goodman’s reporting on this matter. It’s an eye opener, to be sure.
Just a quick quote from the link posted above:
“AMY GOODMAN: Do you see military confrontation between the U.S. and Iran in the near future, Professor Abrahamian?
ERVAND ABRAHAMIAN: Yes. I think that the neo-cons have made it no secret for years that they want to deal with Iran. And they clearly — one idea was somehow the public was — they’re going to become American-loving and all love-dovey with United States and give up the nuclear program, and so on. That’s obviously been shattered. And there’s, I think, — they already have basically blueprints about military strikes for the nuclear installations. They also have plans, what they call elite decapitation, which would be surgical strikes at ministries of the top people. And that would be basically a sort of slippery slope they would start on. They would think that doing that that would prevent Iran developing the nuclear program, not taking into account that Iran also has its own cards it could play. If that was done, if any military action was implemented, I think that the Iranians would use the cards they have, which is in Afghanistan and Iraq, both areas, they have actually great advantages. They could unravel the already bad position the United States is in those countries, completely unravel it. All they have to do is give the green light to Sadr in southern Iraq to have a Shia revolt. He has been itching to do that with a lot of help from his friends from across the border in Iran.
AMY GOODMAN: Who?
ERVAND ABRAHAMIAN: Sadr. Sadr. That you would have a Shia revolt in the south on top of a Sunni revolt. And that would completely undermine the U.S. position there. In Afghanistan, there is actually one of the old warlords who was against the Taliban, Hekmatyar, who the Iranians tried to encourage to support and work with the Karzai administration, but he refused to do that and went on his own into the mountains. And he would be quite eager to get Iranian help, if the Iranians decided to change policy in Iraq. It’s often forgotten here that Iran has actually done everything it can so far to help United States in both Iraq and Afghanistan. And if there’s a confrontation, military confrontation, there would be no reason for them to cooperate with United States. They would do exactly what would be in their interests, which would be to destroy the U.S. position in those two countries.”
So, Bushco would pretty much be shooting itself in the foot in undertaking military misadventure in Iran, but that’s something the ideologues probably won’t see. Their view of the world as they’d make it is pretty much untrammeled by the exigencies of reality.

Mr. XXX was convicted of felony cocaine possession two years ago in Pierce County Superior Court No. 04-1-00030-2. The Democrat prosecutor in Pierce County plea bargained the case in exchange for a jail sentence of ONLY ONE DAY! Pretty serious punishment for a Category III sex offender, right?
If this fellow spent almost 20 years in prison, and was still a threat to society, then he should have gotten at least 24 months for possessing cocaine, and not just 24 hours.
The GOP does indeed have some comeback ammunition when Democrats complain about this miscreant being used as a poster monster all accross the state.
Klake, thanks for your post @ 51
Crap! Lost my post. Oh well.
MTR, it’s obvious you don’t have the least clue about Iran. Or Iraq, for that matter. Combatting evil? Ffft. Masturbation fantasies is more like it.
on another vein, I have been very fortunate to travel basically the entire world over in the past 15 years. Many regions of the world view the USA as a ‘big, strong upstart’ as they have thousands of years in existance with their cultures in place and we haven’t yet gotten to 300 years of age. They do appreciate and even envy what the USA has but they do not want to be bullied to change their entire way of being to meet the USA’s ‘standards’. I have said many times before and I will continue, the only way that the USA can be accepted (especially in the Persian Gulf) is if we go there to help with infrastructures, schools, hospitals, transit, etc. They see us as trying to change their entire way of being. We need to have a much more focussed vision of the future and not just what is happening today. We will never change their way of being in our lifetimes! If we work to help bring these underprivelaged nations up to a decent standard of infrastructure just maybe in our grandchildren’s lives the world will be a better place. If we continue to pick and choose our fights for our own personal gains our grandchildren might not even be around!

Did you bother to read this article? You bash the union, but the article says:
“When The Seattle Times asked the Bellevue School District for information about teachers and coaches accused of sexual misconduct, school officials and the state’s most powerful union teamed up behind the scenes to try to hide the files.”
“… school officials AND the … union …” Hmmmmm.
Why do you suppose the school district and union are working together to oppose the Seattle Times’ demand for records? The answer is found in the quote above, and the operative word is “accused.” Not guilty, but “accused.”
The Seattle Times, in its own article, admits its lawyer “argued that the public had a right to see all complaints, even those that were not pursued by officials or that did not result in a reprimand.” Hmmmmmm.
The article refers to Brouillet v. Cowles Publishing Co., 114 Wn.2d 788, 791 P.2d 526 (1990) (http://mrsc-web.mrsc.org/mc/co.....2d0788.htm). This decision does not support the newspaper’s argument. It involved a different newspaper’s request for records of teachers whose teaching certificates had been revoked.
It’s one thing to ask for records of teachers guilty of misconduct, but quite another thing to publish the names of teachers who were accused but not disciplined, either because of insufficient evidence of guilt, or an affirmative finding of innocence. In other words, the Seattle Times is making no distinction between guilty or innocence.
No wonder BOTH the school district and the teachers’ union are objecting!
Basically, what you are saying, Uncritical Thinker, is that the Seattle Times should be allowed to blacken the names of teachers, regardless of guilt or innocence, simply because someone accused that. That “someone” might be a student seeking revenge for a deserved bad grade, or retaliating for a teacher’s action of reporting the student for disruptive behavior — it happens all the time.
You may not have intended to do that, but so eager are you to find any excuse to bash the union, you shot from the hip without even reading the article, much less the court decision cited in the article. Typical wingnut lack of intelligence or integrity.
A good phrase to describe your post is “intellectually dishonest.”
44 (continued)
As citizens, we must insist on Zero Tolerance of teachers who have sex with students. These teachers should be prosecuted, jailed, registered as sex offenders, and never be allowed to set foot in a classroom again, anywhere, for the rest of their lives. This goes even if the student came on to the teacher, because teachers occupy a position of trust, and have a responsibility to say “no” to sexually aggressive kids.
But, as noted above, students are not always innocent little darlings. Teachers can be, and sometimes are, falsely accused by vicious, revenge seeking, lying students.
Defending its members against accusations is a proper function of the teachers union, or any union. When a teacher is accused of misconduct, the teacher is entitled to a fair disciplinary process, and the union makes sure he or she gets one. That’s part of what a union is for, and this role is entirely legitimate.
Even one incident of sexual exploitation of a student by a teacher is too many, but to put this problem in context, Washington has roughly 55,000 teachers instructing 1 million students in about 2,200 schools. The Cowles decision said 89 teaching certificates were revoked in 10 years (approximately 1980 to 1990), or an average of less than 9 per year out of more than 50,000 teachers, for all causes. As I said, even one case of sexual exploitation is too many, but let’s not blow the problem out of proportion: Sexual exploitation of students by teachers is rare.
And to spin it into union-bashing is mean-spirited, ugly, and — a lie. By opposing the Seattle Times’ request for records, the union is trying to protect the identities of innocent teachers. There is no issue about the Times getting the names of guilty teachers; that information has been available to newspapers ever since the Cowles decision 15 years ago. The bottom line is, Uncritical Thinker is bashing the union for trying to keep innocent teachers from having themselves and their families dragged through the mud.
What a jerk.
It’s one thing to ask for records of teachers guilty of misconduct, but quite another thing to publish the names of teachers who were accused but not disciplined, either because of insufficient evidence of guilt, or an affirmative finding of innocence. In other words, the Seattle Times is making no distinction between guilty or innocence.
Funny how you liberals are worried about protecting the innocent when it comes to public school teachers but if the catholic church is accused of anything it is your guilty until otherwise proven innocent. How do we know wether the Teacher union is not covering anything up. I say we need an independent investigation of this or the public should assume the worst.
51
Is there any intellectual content in there? I don’t see any. As I recall, I saw this mass-circ email about 3 years ago. Did you just get it, klake? Man, you’re out of the loop. All your friends have left you. Hey, dude, any 6-year-old can copy-and-paste from his email in-box. But then, that seems to be the limit of your mental capacity.
The public should know never trust government, espcially government run by liberals.
54
Instead of knee-jerking the case like you are, Richard, I’d want to know what the basis of the plea bargain was. Maybe the prosecutor traded away a prison sentence to get a dealer who was selling to kids. Sure, it’s a devil’s bargain, but in the real world, we need pragmatists to make things work, not pipe dreamers like you. That’s why you never get elected to anything: You live in a dream world.
Let’s start investigating all churches. I suggest that every single church in the state harbors at least one child molesting priest or pastor. The church, (home to the religious in religious right) has always been the first place to turn when perversion is suspected. Unless the republicans demand a full investigation of every church in Washington, we have to assume that they are all guilty of harboring perverts. (Just using traditional republican logic here folks.)
By the way, Richard, I voted for your opponent in the Port Commissioner’s race. The only reason I mention it is to rub your face in it.
By the way, still curious to know if the people in Clark County are aware that the state GOP thinks that’s the same as Pierce County?
64
“Let’s start investigating all churches. I suggest that every single church in the state harbors at least one child molesting priest or pastor.”
The more rightwing the church is, the more likely there’s hanky-panky going on behind their First Amendment shield.
As soon as we start paying taxes too churches and fully funding the churches activities by all means investigate them. Right now there is bigger fish to fry and a whole lot of molestors in the public school to go after. Either that or stop forcing tax payers to fund public schools.
60
“How do we know wether the Teacher union is not covering anything up.”
Because the union doesn’t run the disciplinary process, idiot. That state does. God, you’re fucking dumb.
Why would the Superintendent of Public Instruction, an elected official, want to cover up substantiated cases of teacher misconduct? Do you think she wants bad teachers in our schools? God, you’re a fucking retard.
right you are RUFUS, there will be a huge ‘fishfry’ early next year when the Monkey King (GWB) has to answer to impeachment charges.
Tell you what Rufus — I accuse you of fucking your minor daughter. Now let’s give your name to the Seattle Times so they can look into it. The fact you’ve been accused is reason enough to publish your name in the paper, don’t you think? Nah, you don’t think. Thinking requires an intelligence level higher than that of an eggplant.
62
“The public should know never trust government, espcially government run by liberals.”
I agree, but the public should never trust government run by conservatives, either. That’s why we have laws requiring a judicial warrant for wiretaps. That’s a classic people-vs.-government law. And you’re against it. You sure are a trusting son of a bitch.
Not to mention a hypocrite.
STFU wabbit. The teachers union serves the interest of the teachers, not the children. Of course the going to protect the teacher you dumb ass. Trust the teachers union to do the right thing, Fuck you!
68
“… and a whole lot of molestors in the public school to go after. Either that or stop forcing tax payers to fund public schools.”
Aaaaahhhhhh … I see what their game is. The wingfucks plan to smear teachers in order to get rid of public schools so they don’t have to pay property taxes. That figures.

Alright, next time I see Terry Bergeson, I’ll let her know you think she wants bad teachers in our schools. I take it you didn’t vote for her. Well, I did!!!! I mention that only to rub your face in it.

Hey Richard, since you seem to know everything, what was his offender score? What was his standard range? If he had a felony sex crime 20+ years ago, and that was his only conviction, it likely washed. That would make his offender score zero. If his offender score was zero, his standard range was probably 0-6 months for a simple felony possession. In general, you can’t go outside the standard range.
Any criminal lawyer knows all of this. But of course you don’t know any of that, because you’re a jackass that talks about things you don’t have a clue about.
Wabbit why do you insist in protecting the teachers union? If everything is on the up and up there should be no problem with an investigation, right?
