WND- A Democrat community leader who would “offer a homily during worship services” and facilitated his congregation’s “opening our doors to all people regardless of sexual orientation” has been given a slap on the hand after pleading guilty to extensive child pornography offenses involving children as young as six.
Authorities say Andrew Douglas Reed, 53, who reported for an abbreviated jail term just a few weeks ago, had pleaded guilty to a page-long list of counts of 2nd-degree sexual exploitation of a minor. Court records in the Asheville, N.C., case said he admitted that he would “record, develop and duplicate material containing a visual representation of a minor engaging in sexual activity.” That activity is defined by state law as including masturbation, intercourse and “touching – in apparent sexual stimulation or sexual abuse – of the genitals, pubic area or buttocks.”
However, instead of the 967 months in jail – nearly 81 years – for which he was liable, Judge Robert Lewis, another Democrat, gave him, in a plea bargain with the office of District Attorney Ron Moore, who was elected as a Democrat, a 10-12 month sentence.
Now, I will guarantee you that unless you’re a regular reader of World News Daily, this will be the first you’ve heard of this.
But let’s play a little game, you and I… Let’s imagine that both the offender and the judge and the D. A. involved were not Democrats as they are in this case, but were, rather, Republicans.
Why, it wouldn’t be five minutes, before CNN would shift into wall to wall coverage for at least 72 hours. We would see the printed press issuing editorials and playing on public sympathies for the abused children. We would see it all be blamed on the fact that George W. Bush is still in the White House.
But, these are Democrats we’re talking about. So, as I say, this is the first you’ve heard of this.
