Obama Awarded a Medal of Freedom to a Pedophile but the LW is Triggered by Limbaugh's

If he’s a statutory rapist then why did you say he was a pedophile?

 

I am a fervent democrat. I am an atheist.
I also have no problem denouncing immoral behaviour.
I do not know that many of the details of Harvey Milk's life. If he indeed had sex with underage boys, I have zero problem condemning that behaviour.
Maybe in the 70s that sort of behaviour was considered OK, but the age of consent laws changed in CA to up the age of consent to 18 in 1970.
HOWEVER, I have not seen any conclusive evidence that Milk did indeed have sex with minors (I'll grant you , it was a cursiory search, and I discounted all the RW whacko newspapers that all quoted the same source) or after the law had changed.
Either way, I will remain consistent: preying upon young kids for sexual gratification is absolutely wrong.

 

According to your logic Trump is a rapist considering how many women accused him.

But I’m guessing that your logic doesn’t apply when your bias comes into the equation.

 

Pedophilia is a mental illness but it is not illegal. Having consensual sex with a 16 year old is not illegal. Trump's former lawyer Roy Cohn had frequent sex with underage boys. He was never arrested for that, right? Roy Moore or Jeffrey Epstein were never charged either, were they? Harvey Milk was gay, if he had sex with a 16 year old consenting teenager, it wasn't illegal that's why he was never charged. And whatever Randy Shilts or anyone else said, it would have been 'heresay' in a court of law.

 

I remember at the time our political Leftists fan-squealing about just how good they were with all of that. So the next question, logically, would be why were they ecstatic about it . . . but then who really wants to listen to them rationalize that stuff?

 

I didn’t call him a pedo. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone did. There are dumbs on both sides of the aisle.

 

I think he was dead before his victims came forward so how could he be convicted of anything?

 

I guess I will check later, if you didn't I will apologize...

 

I see threads like this, I see the folks who are demonizing Milk, those who defend him, and wonder what on earth are they going to do now that Trump has advanced Grinnell? I would imagine that the entire conversation players would effectively shift with those demonizing Milk, actively supporting Grinnell. And vice versa.

I just say this. I've seen the same defenders of Milk also defend the actions of folks like Woody Allen and Roman Polanski. They seem to be willing to overlook those criminals and their actions because of their loud and proud advocacy of the progressive agendas. That seems to be the hurdle. Now, if you're a gay conservative, well, then you're the essence of unholy evil for them. They hypocrisy is astounding....

 

More psychological projection by the democrats.

We are rubber, they are glue.

 

Are you seriously defending that guy?

 

Given the legal definition of pedophilia, Milk was a pedophile.
Was Milk's criminal sexual behavior as repulsive as the crimes of sex criminals who prey on far younger children? No.

LEGAL DICTIONARY, "pedophilia
n. an obsession with children as sex objects. Overt acts, including taking sexual explicit photographs, molesting children, and exposing one's genitalia to children are all crimes. The problem with these crimes is that pedophilia is also treated as a mental illness, and the pedophile is often released only to repeat the crimes or escalate the activity to the level of murder. (See: molestation, rape, pornography)"

He was both, a pedophile is 'a person who is sexually attracted to children'.

 

.

Milk was not prosecuted for the same reason that other powerful Democrats are not prosecuted.
They are all very special people.

 

Grinnell sounds like he's doing a great job, if he ever was involved in statutory rape, he should be removed from his position, and not put on a postage stamp.

 

Not Weinstein no more, but he did have his day.

 

I remember the Right mildly grumbling about it but then shrugging and letting it go after the political Left responded with their usual tactic of labeling the Right full of homophobes. Obama was going to award the medal to whomever he wanted . . . and he did. As for Milk's true background the collective Left simply didn't want to know. It was a political stunt, yes; but it was THEIR political stunt; and so that was all that mattered.

 

The only solution/cure for pedophilia is to execute pedophiles and homo-predator priests/pedophiles and homo-predator boy scout leader/pedophiles.

 

I'm sure the mental illness part will be removed shortly, just like the one for homosexuals was.

If they are below the age of consent, yes it is.

I wouldn't nominate any of them to be on a postage stamp.

Nonsense, he died before the victims came forward and the Shilts investigative journalism came out about his illegal activities.

 

Yes, protesting Obama giving the award to a criminal sex predator would have been homophobic, and racist.

/Sarcasm off

 

Life at hard labor in prisons holding other pedophiles would work.
Your suggestion would be cheaper and more efficient.

 

It would certainly reduce the repeat offenders.

 

Funny, the LW calls Trump a criminal all day long here.

 

You used quotation marks as if you were citing to an authority but I see no citation.

 

Look it up, I did.
