Former talk show host Bernie Ward admits to distributing child pr0n

He also hosted "God Talk," a Sunday morning program on religion, and was a prolific fundraiser for the station's charity drives.
San Francisco? Liberal? Deviant? Freak? I am deeply shocked.

Go ahead and say "ex-priest". I know you wanna.

Re: Bernie Ward - Busted with Child Pr0n

he has I understand children as well ( 2 underage sons). I am wondering what’s up with that? He stays in his house with his children after he has been caught red handed distributing child porn? I don't get it.

You can't be a liberal and a Roman Catholic Priest at the same tine. The two are mutually exclusive.

Re: Bernie Ward - Busted with Child Pr0n

Ironically, this guy was the most judgmental, pompous, arrogant, extreme leftist, uber- socialist, ultra-liberal, asshole on the radio. He is now exposed for what he really is, a disgusting sexual deviant that gets excited by seeing naked children sexually abused. I'm confident that the inmates at the federal prison he'll be calling home for the next 5 years, will give this corpulent pedophile a warm "Castro District" style greeting. He deserves no less.

LOL that's not true. You'll just get in trouble with the Church if you are. Happens all the time.

I found out about this a couple of days ago. It's proof positive, if any were needed, that not ALL of the deviant scumbags in the world are right-wingers. There is at least one exception.

He was an "ex-priest".

You’re right, Impugn, that did feel good.

I don't see how his crime necessarily means he will abuse his kids. I know people who own and distribute violent movies where people are depicted being killed with guns, yet they are allowed to both be around people and own guns.

I think that's the "133t" way of spelling it.

It's supposed to mean "elite" in "elite" or "133t" speak.

For one, liberalism is about civil liberties, whereas being a Roman Catholic priest entails helping to regulate people's consensual sex lives.

Second, and this may be more fundamental, liberals value truth, not ignorant comments about how clergy homosexuality is to blame for child abuse.
