Reminds me of how two posters who shall remain unnamed (not you) with military ties will scream to the mountaintops whenever they think a Dem has slighted the armed forces, but when decorated combat veteran and long time Republican Chuck Hagel gets slandered by fellow GOP Senators like Ted Cruz who never served a day in their lives, the silence out of these people is deafening.

We all knew that the Dems were doing it for political gain. Hell, I called it in '05, and what do you know, they're doing exactly what I predicted...

Plus, you're telling me the whole filibuster debacle is silence?

But don't you dare call them bigots. They're all for tax money going to religious schools thru voucher programs until an Islamic school might qualify.

Here's the link to the actual bill. Can anyone point out the section that defines pedophilia as a sexual orientation? Google couldn't find it.

Here
(b) (1) “Sexual orientation change efforts” means any practices by mental health providers that seek to change an individual’s sexual orientation. This includes efforts to change behaviors or gender expressions, or to eliminate or reduce sexual or romantic attractions or feelings toward individuals of the same sex.

One could construe, not that I agree with it, that pedophilia is a sexual orientation.

You just agree with it enough to post a link to a random obscure website about it.

Two months after the story was posted.

Edit:

Let's try to piece together what happened.

The Democrats wrote a bill protecting homosexuals. Republicans, who have equated homosexuality to man-on-box turtle intercourse, did not like the bill. Rather than oppose the bill on political grounds, they dreamt up some way to make it sound like pedophilia was somehow a protected class to score political points and try to kill the bill. The Democrats told them to pound sand because no one in their right mind would read that into the wording of the law. Having lost the battle, the Republicans tried a different tack: having their friends in the right-wing media write stories to inflame the lunatics who peruse such web sites as if the law were trying to lump the behavior of pedophiles into the behavior of homosexuals. In this case, it seems to have worked: Joe posted a link to such a story but when presented with the language of the actual bill agreed that the law could not be twisted in such a way.

Does that about sum it up?

I don't think there's any high ground to claim in this battle, Mr. Frank. They're all immoral scum. I think it's a prerequisite for a life in politics.

Sounds good, but one has to wonder if joecct and flaggy will man up and admit their error.

Which is sad in a way. While Flaggy is generally thought of as a lost cause ;) getting people like joecct hooked into this idiocy is sad to see. Shows the deep problems conservatism has. They'll embrace any BS and turn themselves into laughingstocks just in the fleeting hope of scoring one for their side. That's fine if the beef is legit, but really, how many absurd stories have we heard already and we're only half way through Obama's Presidency?

As I often say, people like Dick Morris get paid to make fools of themselves. People like Michelle Bachmann hope to get paid to make fools of themselves. Not sure what the others are getting out of it...

See Flaggy, I spotted a BS source and didn't even bother. Were there a bill to actually legalize pedophilia (which if classified as joecct insinuated that's what you'd be doing) don't you think more mainstream political sites would cover it? So, if something's on Brietbert or Drudge for example, chances are really strong its not true so there's no use in even clicking on the link.

You however in the hopes that the story was true chose to launch a personal attack against myself, as par for the course. Turns out your attack was misguided, as usual, as Priceless destroyed the story and joe hasn't come around to defend it.
