Let’s play name that Party affiliation! While some other news outlets finally get to Becker being a Democrat, usually deep within the story, MSNBC fails to mention the D word
The man who has taken over for Racine Mayor Gary Becker after his arrest on probable charges of pornography and solicitation of a minor say he needs to resign.
“I think it would be in the best interest of the city of Racine,” said City Council President David Maack in an exclusive interview on Newsradio 620 WTMJ. “We need to put this behind us.
Ever notice that when it is a Democrat involved, they always need to move on? If it is a Republican, they always say there needs to be more investigation, preferably back to 1st grade.
Charges are expected against Becker today, two days after his arrest on tentative charges of attempted second-degree sexual assault of a child, child enticement and possession of child pornography.
Authorities said Becker also was being held on tentative charges of exposing a child to harmful materials, using a computer to facilitate a child sex crime and misconduct in public office.
We need to put this behind us, though.
The Journal Sentinel says state officials had begun investigating Becker after he brought a personal computer to work and had City Workers try to fix it.
So, he is a complete moron, to boot.
Let’s see: if it is a Republican, such as Jack Ryan (solicited his wife for sex), Mark Foley (inappropriate emails with no sex involved), or Larry Craig (foot tapping, no sex), it is a national disgrace. But, a Democrat with actual child p0rn on his PC? Move on.
And let’s not forget a president credibily accused of sexual improprieties, sexual harrassment…..you know this story.
Back to the story, it is interesting that MSNBC forgets to mention that it is 5 felony counts and a misdemeanor. The Journal Sentinal has good detail of how it all went down, including how Becker went off to meet with who he thought was a 14 year old girl.
After this last election cycle, the media strung up the rope and placed its own head in the noose. They sold their credibility with the country in order to get the Democrats back in power (not that the Repubs put up much a fight), and every man, woman and child whose head isn’t firmly impacted in their own buttocks knows it, regardless of party affiliation or beliefs. Why should we be surprised that they’ll continue to protect their favored party now, they’ve got nothing to lose. Perhaps they’ll even get a bite of the bailout to offset all of the hard times they’re going through…
Git out yer tin foil hats, fellers! It’s a cuhnspirasee!!
Well, with the Dems in power now, the Party will be under closer scrutiny. And when the news media refuse to mention the political party, any thinking will individual will come up with the answer.
Hey, look, a liberal who comments, but fails to find anything wrong with what a Democrat did. Go figure.
Living in WI, I can tell you for a fact that the local media (I live in the Milwaukee market) did their best to cover up Becker’s political affiliation. The reason… Mayor is supposed to be a “non-partisan” position, which is the reason they wouldn’t report it. But as soon as it happened, the local blogosphere and talk radio were all over the fact that political affiliation was not mentioned, which equals Democrat.
And just a note to all you 50+ deviants who get off on kiddie porn… No matter how much you want it to be true, there are NO 14 year old girls out there looking to have sex with you. You would think that NBC’s TO catch a predator and all the stories of stings of just this nature would have taught you that.
perhaps the difference in national coverage is due to the difference in the positions held. Being the Mayor of Racine (population 80,000) is a bit different that being a US senator or representative.
Like the massive coverage of the wrong doing by someone like Charlie Rangel? Oh, wait, it has pretty much been ignored.
And let’s not forget how so many in the media had to be dragged kicking and screaming to even give a little coverage to the Clinton scandals, and how Newsweek tried to bury the story.
