RNC Accepts Money From Army Porn Movie Distributor

Are there any republicans left who haven’t been outed as hypocrits?
Foley,
Haggard,
and now the RNC taking money from gay porn makers?
I’m voting democratic.

How Republican!

Funny how ABC brings crap like this to the front page three days before the election. What a leftist rag.

Brian, you seem to be stuck on porno and gays. Get over it and move on.

The world is a mess,this just shows me how corrupt the system is.

Q: how are the Republicans like the Flinstones?
A: they’re gonna have a gay old time!!!

When will “conservative” America wake up and realize they’ve been used and abused by the Republican party all along. How can you have been so blind for so long? We “liberals” have been screaming this for so damn long, taking heat for seeing what they really are and just now you begin to see.
We aren’t better but we are honest about who we are and who we accept.
Hypocrisy is their game, you still subscribing to it?

Army Recruiters can now be honest and tell students that they can become movie stars for the Republican Party, now that the “war is over and we are bringing people back”.
It appears that the Republican Party is one big party of sodomist hypocrites.

The house of cards that the Rupublicans built with their hate and hypocrisy upon the backs of their blindly loyal sheep is falling down before our eyes…
The wheels are falling off of the GOP bandwagon as the monkeywrench of truth is thrown into their political attack machine while it falls over the cliff…and other mixed metaphors.

Morality is not a party issue. If your heart is contaminated, everything you touch will also be contaminated. Personal responsibility is a choice we all make, no matter what other factors have influenced us.

The clues surrounding Foley/Gannon/Haggard/Marina Pacific and even Abu Ghraib suggest connectivity over the control and flow of a steady supply of muscular, willing young boys/toys for power and persuasion.
Brian could further illuminate the story with a sidebar on DC’s age old male prostitution industry…

The DNC and DSCC need to make an ad about this to run non-stop in Tennessee for the next 3 days, especially rural Tennessee, to expose the kind of “family values” the Republican Party REALLY stands for.

How dare the neo-cons try to use family values as a major talking point? And they say democrats have none.
What a joke.
I’m voting democrat this year.

We “liberals” have been screaming about this for years and only now our fellow “conservative” Americans are starting to realize they have been used and abused by the Republican party and it’s extremist right wing. Did anyone listen? America deserves better than all these liars, hypocrites and thiefs. We all do.
Always have been and always will be a proud Democrat. We don’t judge you. After all we are all Americans, welcome back!

I’m not sure about Nixon being proud (or not), but let’s all remember that he was finally run out of office in disgrace. It looks to me like everybody inside the Beltway is suffering from servere amnesia; let’s all refresh their memories this coming Tuesday. And as far as I know Nixon wasn’t a pervert – he was just a crazy control freak, and really paranoid. Kind of ironic and frightening – Nixon’s beginning to look kind of tame and silly compared to today’s sleazy events.

I’m sure it was all just payback for all the business Ken Mehlman did with the porn industry. I would hate to see his private home collection of videos. Yeesh!

With bush’s buddies Ted Haggard and Mark Foley in the news of late, why should this come as a surprise? Next up will be the outing of David Drier and Karl Rove.

I’m a lifelong Republican and these video sound hot! I’ll be looking to buy some. Yee-Haa!

what ELSE does he donate to Ken Mehlman – porn stars?

I love how some are crying about the liberal media using these stories right before the election. Well folks, if you give the media, any media, a reason to report a scandal, they will.

I wonder if this is where Ken Mehlman found Jim Guckert/Gannon? Is this the main connection between gay porn and the RNC? Is this where the White House gets its midnight guests?

This is not the only porno dealer supporting the republicans. There is Murdoch, owner of Fox news and DirectTV too. He owns the porno franchises in hotels across America, and I would guess in other countries too. So next time you order a skin flick in the hotel room, or subscribe to titty TV on Satellite, think Murdoch and Fox News, those paragons of Family Values!!!!

James Dobson seems to think otherwise.
Republican Greed and Corruption Rampant in Washington:
Values Trampled, Betrayed

Oh there’s PLENTY of Republican scandal that the mainstream media has completely ignored… The only reason the Foley/Hastart/Haggard/etc are being covered is because there’s SEX involved.

There has been much talk about the Republican “base” of Evangelical voters and Christian conservatives banding their flocks together to keep Republicans in power this election. However, many of them are starting to wake up to the fact that they are being used on a grand scale. And yet there are still those who are “asleep at the pew” and ready to vote Republican on baseless moral grounds. I have a question I would love to ask of all the religious wingnuts. If their mythology is true and Jesus decided to come back tomorrow, how do they think George W. Bush, his demonic administration, and Republican enablers in Congress would react? A) Would they allow a peace loving, liberal, hippie to make peace on Earth and all men and women to be equal? OR B)Go to war with God to maintain their power, control, and fortunes? They know the answer would be (B)! So my next question would be… Doesn’t that make him the Antichrist according to their mythology??? No wonder they call it a “flock!” It’s hard for a president to convince anyone he is pro-life when it comes to banning stem cell research while thousands are being sent to their deaths in Iraq. It is also ironic that the very party that puts forth a homophobic agenda turns out to be full of closeted homosexuals and pedophiles. It’s not what you say, it’s what you do. For real Christians and people of faith the mantra for the next election cycles should be, “It’s the hypocrisy stupid!” We have all heard the acronym, “WWJD – What would Jesus Do,” but a more suitable acronym in this age of hypocrisy would be, “WWTDTJ – What would They Do to Jesus!”

Had the RNC NOT run the bimbo ad in the Ford/Corker Race accusing Ford of accepting money from porn producers, then this story probably wouldn’t have even come up. The media loves hypocrisy and once someone makes a charge, the first thing they should do is look at their own party so it doesn’t come back in their face. The whole “blame the liberal media” idiocy is getting so old.

The shoe is on the other foot now. All the misdeeds the GOP was hiding are coming home to roost.
Is this behavior/hypocrisy typical of all Republicans? No. But Reps. often use one or two comments made by Democrats to accuse the entire party of wanting “therapy for terrorists” or “immoral” or whatnot — most of which is just spin by the GOP.
Republicans: Welcome to politics. In case you haven’t figured it out, stories like Evangelical Pastors buying meth and getting massages with “happy endings” tend to make good news before Electon Day.

Funny how the leftist rag ABC and FOX ran big stories on Kerry botching a joke about a “Joke” all week long twisting the truth.

This handful of Repubs is unfortunately running the country. The true Republicans should be outraged. It’s a disgrace!

Why is it that Republicans all seem to get caught in homosexual affairs? The two biggest Democratic sex scandals that stick in my head are Gary Hart and Bill Clinton. These were heterosexual affairs that sent this country into a tailspin. Now we’ve got elected officials preying on young pages and soldiers, and every republican in power seems to be looking the other way. Maybe all republicans are nothing more that secret “closet cases” praying that no one looks into thier bedroom!

Quit blaming the people that actually report the Republicans actions.
Even if Brian Ross or ABC was trying to alter to election…does that change the fact that the GOP has some ethical issues they need to answer for?
When did the party of responsibility become the party of blame everybody else? (Clinton, “liberal” media, gays, Islam, puppies, lollipops, Jay-Z, staplers…???)

Family Values. Republicans. LOL.
How much more does america need to see? It is not that the discovery of gay republicans is novel, it is the discovery of gaybashing gay republicans. Praise the lord, fella! You do recall the smutty ad accusing a democrat of accepting money from a porn king? Duh. Karma is a beautiful thing. Flatbrainitus diagnosis republicanism.

rev. ted buys crystal meth and then throws it away???
what a waste of his churchs money.
when i tithe to a church, i fully expect the minister to use the drugs he purchases.

How many voters have tuned-out all these stories by now? How many REPUBLICAN voters? When those who decide to vote in this election walk into their voting booths, they’re going to vote THEIR incumbents back in. They just want everyone else’s INCUMBENTS to be voted o-u-t. The result? No change. Status quo confirmed. Those who see their Republican party as “their team” and the Republican candidates as “their guys/gals” are going to vote Republican….no matter what. The very thought that these “moral people” on the right would ever NOT vote Republican is “a Cheney” (a “no-brainer.”) Besides, DIEBOLD is going to make sure the votes are for the “right team” anyway…..again. Is that too cynical? Look where we ALL are after 6 years of these “compassionate Republicans,” then answer that question.
R. Horn

I’m voting a straight Democrat ticket this year.

Oh come on here folks. You want to bet the guy put down when asked that he was a film producer and left out the word porn. Do you really believe either party hires investigators to check the employment records and life history of every contributor?

Face It! Both Republicans and Democrats are corrupt as a three dollar bill! Kick the hypocritical Republicans out and AFTER the election impose a PROGRESSIVE agenda on the new Congress, cabinet and President.
Progressive reforming candidates, publicly funded elections, campaign spending limits, full disclosure (can you read this Dubya?) will help bring the U.S. back to its former glory. If we do not take an interest, invest the time and push forward, our country will be lost forever.

The whiney spineless Republicans are at it again, molesting boys, doing meth with their male prostitutes, taking bribes from Jack Abramhoff, taking money from porn kings….then blaming it on the leftist media.
When will these chicken little cowards who are so busy being afraid of everything going to live up to “The Buck Stops Here” responsibility they try to drive up everyone else all the time?
Coulter is under investigation for voter fraud, Kathryn Harris is running for Senate! How much can Florida take?
Delay, Abramhoff, Foley, are just a few examples of the morally corrupt hypocrits in washington right now. Let all the rightwinger nutjobs come out now and blame the NYTimes for Delay working with Abramhoff to control our government for their own power-hungry pride.
Let Tony Snow spin you rightwingers some more till you are screaming in the streets to kill Jesus himself because he was too passivist for you big old tough American pride types who are more terrified of the shadow of your conjured boogeymen than how far off the plank each of you really are.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
BRING IT ON!
From the great state of awakening

RE: Funny how all these “Republican scandals” are coming out right before the election. It seems the liberal media has been working toward this election for some time now. Notice how Democrat scandals just seem to get swept under the rug (e.g. Jefferson and his freezer full of cash)?
OK–Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly, Laura Ingraham, Glenn Beck, Joe Scarborough, Monica Crowley, Wolf Blitzer, the entire FOX NEWS operation, innumerable local radio talk hosts. Yeah, it’s all a vast liberal conspiracy. And Bill Clinton’s sex life was just “swept under the rug.” Those YEARS of hearing, the hours of blather on cable about Monica’s dress, the whole impeachment–none of that happened.

Hey unlike the Religious Freaks that think they’re running things in Washington, porn production studios actually pay taxes. They don’t get the 503(c) exemption. With that in mind why shouldn’t they be represented by their GOP lawmakers?

It used to be “The buck stops here”.

abc-exposed the whole flock of ‘chicken hawks’ for what they are “hypocrites”

Fish rots from the head down, Republicans. How can you identify yourself with a party whose leadership has disgraced itself with sex scandals, calamitous, incompetent war-making, and bribery and corruption.
Clean your house, or get out of it fast as we bulldoze it to clear the air.

“This is one Republican who is voting a straight Democrat ticket this year.”
I’ve seen quite a few similar posts recently. Anyone seen any saying “I’m voting a straight Republican ticket this year”? Hey! No pun intended.
Seriously, I for one am happy to welcome all disenchanted Republicans into our house. There will be no “I told you so” here. I hope you will work with us to get this country back on track, and support a minimum wage incrrease, universal healthcare, and a rollback on tax cuts for the rich. And of course, bring our kids home from Iraq ASAP.
Does that sound doable? Then c’mon in, the water’s fine.

“Funny how ABC brings crap like this to the front page three days before the election. What a leftist rag.

So, your “argument,” Jerry, is that if the press had gone with these stories a few weeks or months ago, you’d be OK with them? Uh huh. That’s believable.
Jerry, why don’t you (and the rest of your ilk) be honest with yourself? The sad fact is that you’re an apologist for the GOP. If George W. Bush got caught having sex with a Cub Scout in Macy’s window, you’d say that the kid was a terrorist and Bush was checking for concealed weapons.
Instead of being mad at the press for uncovering this hypocrisy, you SHOULD be mad at the Republicans for lying to you about their alleged morality. You should, but you’ll almost certainly keep making excuses for these lying freaks.

Morals morals morals!The nation is going to hell.The credibility of the U.S. is on the lower rim of the flushed toilet spinning around,headed for the sewer.The gop will take the the plunge and take the entire country with them.They have proven time and time again that the pride of the gop is more important than the health of the nation and if they can,t win by votes they will unfortunately win by diebold voting machines.May our forefathers forgive us.

Perhpas if our servicepeople were paid a DECENT and LIVEABLE salary they wouldn’t have to resort to prostituting their bodies. Many of them have families to support and don’t care how they scrape up an extra few dollars. The military does NOT pay overtime and reward them with astronomical cash bonuses and stock options. I don’t hear a a thing about anyone at Halliburton having to make these porn flicks because they were grossly underpaid and unrewarded!

The Amazing Gooper hypocrits strike again.
Could that noxious odor we smell be the GOP rotting from within?

I think the Republicans are fair game. They cast themselves as the morality party, they rail against gay people, they pander to the religious far-right…. Considering the litany of hypocritical creeps this party has been throwing out lately, one wonder how much more rot lies at its core. Face it – the Republicans are rotten to the core.

I continue to be astounded.
Can you IMAGINE if Clinton had done any of what Bush has done in six years?
They’re crucifying Kerry for one stupid botched joke, yet their Dear Leader President Bush has botched jokes, botched foreign policy, botched domestic policy, botched the economy, botched the budget, botched EVERYTHING.
All the homosexuality and pedophilia scandals yet the supporter monkeys still wave their elephant flags…
I just don’t understand the hitler style loyalty by the GOP faithful.

Hey – learn from the worst.
A vote for any Repbulican is a vote for Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter! If you ain’t like us, we don’t want you.

I was told by a friend who was in the army some 20 years ago that porn films run nearly none-stop in military base bars on TV screens for all to see, males and females, alike. I wasn’t too surprised by this, because prostitution traditionally follows armies and with army leadership understanding and sanction, after all military leadership must look after its fighters. This is not Man at his best, but it is man as he is. Since human sexuality is not an option–despite what our “just say no” brethren profess–could some military experts comment on the sanctioned use of pornography in U.S. Military?

How pathetically laughable these posts that say “Well! How come NOW you come up with all this dirt on Republicans?” Well, why NOT now? All the government has been doing until now, with the cooperation of the media is to delay any news that might influence voters against the Republicans until after elections. It’s high time the voters were given all the information the news media has BEFORE they make their voting decisions, not after.
But what’s really amusing is how desperately the Republicans are trying to change the subject. Sorry kids, the question isn’t “Why now?” the question is “Is this true?” And the answer is “Yes, it is true.”
Then, there’s the “Well, if the Democrats did this the media wouldn’t care…” Well, when the Democrats do anything, even misdeliver a snarky comment – the RNC aka The Office of the President – and the media is all over them, trying to pretend that someone, somewhere, is deeply offended! Har Har Har. But beyond that, the Democrats have never had the audacity to set themselves up as the Party of Sexual Virtue – nope, that’s you folks. And given the events of the past few months, now I understand why; You upright, God-fearing folks make us depraved Democrats look like total squares. We’re not nearly as much fun as you folks are! Hell, compared to us liberals, The Republicans look like a weekend house party at Caligula’s!
Makes me think about switching Parties but I think as an out, single, Gay man, I’d never be able to keep up with all the stuff you folks are into…
I’d suggest you all just try living your lives openly and honestly and without apology, but I can tell you, your sex lives wouldn’t be as exciting, because they wouldn’t feel that “dirty” anymore.

I tried to read all the messages but it was a bit hard, it seems like everything there is to say, has already been said.
Although, i think is wrong to send soldiers to prison for doing porn. Some one should do something about it.
As far as the whole porn donation thing goes, i dont see anything wrong with it. They are just an industry trying to look after their intersts in Washing like any other industry in the country. The only problem is that the fvcking puritants wannabe repeatedly advocate family values, abstentenence and they even tried to use a porn scandal against a candidate.
So yes, i agree, if this was a donation to the Democrats, it wouldn’t be a scandal, but with the Republicans it just shows their hipocracy.

the RNC certainly KNOWS who they take money from – the Porn money for George Bush? How sick. I wonder what the next skeleton will be. Are we done yet?

I find it rather humorous that for so long the ‘gay’ card was used as a means to scare the public. In other words, if gay marriage is allowed, it would undermine the social security of this country.
And now, as a run-up to the election, I find it interesting that, yet again, the gay card has been played. With the marriage admendment passing in New Jersey (kudos, actually- regardless of political motivation), Foley and now Haggerd… I mean its great that these people now have their colors showing- but who has hidden it all this time? That’s the real stinger… all this time and money spent and the people propogating should be the biggest opponents…
You reap what you sow. I am a gay women and it floors me to no end that people buy into any of the arguments FOR or AGAINST anything… we are all just people… with varying ideas… if religion and sexual affiliation were taken out of this world as a means by which to measure, I’m sure we’d all get along quite nicely.
Remember folks, certain things have been created in this world (long before the Republican or Democratic party) to cause divide and maintain divide… Divide and conquer.
I say we beat them to the punch and succeed from the Union….
Power to the Peaceful.

Karma is a bitch, and the GOP has only received a fraction of what is coming to it. Expect more like this. Enjoy the howls of wingnut angst.
As an aside, one wonders how long before they blame this on one or the other Clinton.

If the Republican party was not controlled by a bunch of self-loathing, semi-closeted homosexuals perhaps they could follow through on their promises to their ‘religeous’ storm troops.
When all you have is the lies of liars (congenital due to the fact that they know not themselves) to offer the American people you will destroy the nation for the simple satisfaction of attempting to destroy the lives of gay and lesbian people.
The Republican Party will probably win on Tueday and the destruction will continue.

Lefties – Please be aware of your surroundings. Ever since 9/11, the Bush administration has had an active internet propaganda presence. 5 years ago, they would enter chat rooms and start talking about how Saddam supposedly orchestrated the 9/11 attacks. Nowadays they just post talking points and catch-phrases, like “liberal media,” and spread wild conspiracy theories wherever they can post freely.
Don’t bother arguing with these “people,” (assuming they aren’t just a computer program). All they are doing is cutting and pasting arguments from the RNC talking points. There is no original thought and no concept of reality at work there. When you argue with them, all you are doing is encouraging Chenney to keep funding the program.

I saw some of the films and i thuoght they were great!!!

Is anyone really surprised by this?

So, Maddy, I suppose that the press is excused from responsible reporting because they just do not know better…as are many of the folk that posted here. What am I referring to? The logical fallacy that this whole article and much of the discussion that follows is premised upon, that is, the et tu fallacy. Instead of pointing out the uselessness of this kind of thing, apparently first by the republicans, the left seems to justify and then use the same errant argument to prove….what? It means nothing, adds nothing to the discussions about political issues. It is just a simple ad hominem argument which fails to do more than show just how ignorant people can be when they give up on thinking. Why not a post on why this kind of argument is of no use to political debate?

Hey how come we dont have the green party ,independent and
libertarians taking the majority
of congress if democrats and republicans are so corrupt

“…people like this are out in the public who prey on our troops,”, holy smokes, you’ve got to be kidding me! Is it true that our troops might get confused as to whether they should be naked and having sex infront of a camera, IF they don’t want to? Major Thomas Earnhardt, you went to the same grade school GW Bush did, huh?

Has anyone considered that these porn companies gave money to GOP as a way to help them get defeated? Think about it, which party would more likely support/pass laws that enable pornographers? Exactly!

What?? Porn money for the Gop? You shouldnt be suprised.

No one party has a lock on morals. To imply this is ludicrous. But each party has bedded itself with some odd partners in order to garner a broad range of votes – needed to win any election. GOP just happens to be sleeping with the Christian coaltion – and this makes them more vulnerable to accusations of hypocricy and immorality. It is time for us to be able to have more than 2 viable party choices. Before republicans bedded themselves with the religious right, they had some things going for them. Today, I feel ashamed to have called myself a Republican. I will vote Dem, but only because there is no other good choice.

Folks blather that Democrats have corruption and point to Rep. Jefferson of Louisiana. What they omit to say is that (unlike the Republican parties of states that have corrupt Republican candidates) the Democratic Party of Louisiana has not only refused to endorse Jefferson for reelection but has endorsed one of Jefferson’s opponents.

Unfirtunately for the Republicans, they have no one but themselves to blame for lack of coverage of the Jefferson affair. If they had not rushed to his aid to try and keep the FBI from searching his office, it would have been a much more useful story.
Sadly, their deperation to keep secrets showed only too plainly that they have too many skeletons in thier own closets.
And byt the way, I don’t care if you are a Democrat or a Republican. If you are an elected official, you work for the people, and your office space is just as subject to a legal search as is mine.

Okay. So a guy who is in the porn industry gives about 2 grand to the RNC (over several years)and libs think this is worth noting?
When Clinton recieved millions from China, drug dealers, pornographer Larry Flynt, convicted money laudereres and international spies.. that was just the result of the ?vast right-wing conspiracy”
Laughable!

My god. why are you people acting like it is such a crime to have porn films, its not like you don’t have any? so much for calling Republicans hypocrites eh?
Didn’t George Washington say differences in Politics party will be the downfall of America? Well Mr.Washington was sure right because everyone in this country is a hypocrit wether you want to admit you are. ah…. once i become 18 I’m flying off to England. Now thats a country that won’t have a downfall.

Google “Conspiracy of Silence” to see how deep the Republicons are into Port…..

Who cares? It isn’t the Republicans fault that the high and mighty crowd is gullible enough to think mainstream political parties aren’t corrupt.
