Liberal Talk Show Host Bernie Ward Admits to Distribution of Child Pornography
Bernie Ward, San Francisco’s leading liberal radio host, has admitted to distribution of child pornography by e-mail. He will now face at least five years in prison and as much as ten years.
Ward, 57, is a former Roman Catholic priest who became known as the “Lion of the Left.”
In a hearing before Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker, Ward (who had previously denied the allegations) pleaded to a single charge of distribution, involving “exchanging an image of a minor engaged in sexually explicit activity” in December 2004. However, the plea agreement references between 15 and 150 pornographic images via e-mail.
His attorneys are now seeking a five year term. Only nine months would be taken off for good time. The government wants nine months. But both are better than the 20 years that he was looking at. Transcripts of Ward’s calls between December 2004 and January 2005 reveal fantasies related to children. For those transcripts, click here. They notably lack any connection to research that he originally claimed in defense.

Of course there are freaks on the left. But, if one were to list (side by side) all the Dems and THUGS, the THUG list would be much longer and far more hypocritical.

While not a big fan - I have observed a lot of Left leaning folks experiencing a little buyer’s remorse after accepting Bernie Ward’s original explanation at face value.
Any group runs the risk of guilt by association, however, I think you made an indelible point by doing some quick math. Perhaps the American electorate will be more proactive in elevating politics to reasoned discourse as opposed to this raging battle, that serves to make millionaires of those in the game, and indebted paupers of the middle-class.
Bernie Ward’s problems would be his, irrespective of his political denomination and a reasonable person couldn’t draw any other conclusions. But then again - reasonable people have been a rare commodity in our highly polarized Nation.
I have great confidence though, that the youth currently saddled with enormous debt from larcenists posing as leaders, will take up the challenge as they wrestle the reigns from dinosaurs.
