Some of the worst right-wing hate I've read....

You may have read the disgusting story about a group in the Netherlands that wants to create a political party aimed at legalizing pedophilia.  Now it looks like World Nut Daily has picked up the story, and right-wing blogs are weighing-in...

82% of the "liberal" Dutch want the government to intervene and stop the party from forming, and I imagine it's only a very small number of sick Americans who would support anything like this.  But that doesn't stop an extreme right-wing Houston blog, Lone Star Times, from trying to politicize the issue:

In the Netherlands, Pedophiles are forming thier own political party with the goal of making pedophilia legal....... And these are the Europeans that the Democrats want us to emulate?

emphasis mine.  And just in case it gets deleted, here's a screenshot of the post.

I'm so sickened by this.  This isn't some disagreement on policy, or taxes, or social programs... this guy Rorschach is making a joke about Democrats supporting child molesters.  And reading some of the comments, they're defending it.

That site was started by local radio bobblehead Dan Patrick, who's also running for Texas Senate.  I didn't really care before about that race before (it's not my district, and it's very Repub), but I'm going to start working to make sure his kind of hatred is defeated.

•  Simple answer.

  In the Netherlands, Pedophiles are forming thier own political party with the goal of making pedophilia legal....... And these are the Europeans that the Democrats want us to emulate?

  In a word, NO!

•  on a tangent...

  Compare the original Reuters story with the WND story.  WND basically just rearranged some of the words, and republished it.  Isn't that plagiarism?

•  Errr....only 82%?

  •  That's far lower

    than Bush's current approval rating.

    You have to account for crazy people. There's a frighteningly large number of them in the world.

  •  For 82% to want to ban a political

    party in the Netherlands is quite something when you stop and think many may not take it seriously in the first place.

    •  Plus, we don't know the other numbers.

      82% is purely for government involvement.  I'm sure the percentage of people who absolutely disagree with the group is up in the 90's... but we don't have that number.

      •  There's probably a small percentage of them

        who don't know what pedophilia means too.

        •  Errrr...

          That's like where you have sex with dead people, right?  Or is it with animals?  I get those two confused...

          •  I was once in a show where I had to say the line-

            "You had sex with a small, dead, male rabbit? That's necrohomopedobestiophilia! That's sick!"

            That wasn't a fun line to learn, but it got a big laugh.

            •  Sick

              But funny!  As the best humor often is.  :-)

            •  So, if it had been a female rabbit

              that would be less weird...?

              •  I didn't write the line! I just said it!

              •  P.S.

                I don't care what they're calling the team, you aren't in L.A. dag nab it! ;)

                •  Well

                  Neither are the Giants!  They play in New Jersey!

                •  But I have it on good authority

                  that having "L.A." in my name improves my marketing opportunities.

                  by LABobsterofAnaheim on Wed May 31, 2006 at 12:17:51 PM PDT

                  •  Also

                    Like the Giants and New York, I was born and grew up in L.A. and (probably not like the Giants, but I don't know since I'm actually not a sports fan) I'm only here under protest.

            •  Now there you go.

              Another one of those comments that you'd never, ever, ever see on the FreeRepublic.

          •  felia's

            Necro = dead

            Pedo = Children

            There's actually a huge number of those prefixes for all kinds of weird stuff like Hetero, etc.  Just about any latin group discription followed by 'felia' or 'uality'

            •  Thanks, I know

              I was being snarky.

              by Kevin in Long Beach on Wed May 31, 2006 at 10:06:06 AM PDT

•  Pfft

  It's a freak show. This will get no traction.

•  Might as well get ready

  for stries about the Kos/NAMBLA convention in sinful Las Vegas.

•  I'll call your pedophile jackalope and raise...

  The Bush-endorsed totalitarian state of Uzbekistan boils people to death. Is this the sort of "freedom" that the Republicans want us to emulate?

  by pb on Wed May 31, 2006 at 09:41:11 AM PDT

  •  Um, I think in that case

    the answer actually is sort of "yes."

    by jem6x on Wed May 31, 2006 at 10:05:59 AM PDT

    •  especially

      if they're talking about boiling gays and women who have abortions. That's the goal of many wingnuts--capital punishment for gays and fornicators and abortionists.
      But our current administration and plenty of Congressional reps support slave labor and forced abortions in the Northern Mariana Islands, so let's make sure to tie that to them as well, because it's real and current.
