Ding-Dong. Child Porn Vice Squad Calling

It no longer surprises:

A 46-year-old Michigan member of the group Tea Party Patriots was named Tuesday in a criminal complaint on charges of distributing and receiving illicit photos and video of children. According to The Smoking Gun, Brian Schwanke is accused of using the email account “h*rnypastor@outlook.com" to send and receive hundreds of provocative images of underage children.

TSG detailed how as recently as last week, Schwanke was ranting on his Facebook page about President Barack Obama’s behavior during a portion of the funeral for South Africa’s Nelson Mandela.  [snip]

Schwanke’s profile — which has now been either deleted or made private — proclaimed that the U.S. “WAS founded on a CHRISTIAN foundation, and the progressive, atheist left is running us into the ground to create a Socialist country that will fall like all the others.”  [our emphasis]

Too bad.  With his credentials, he would've been a natural as Republican Sen. Lamar Alexander's chief of staff.

Rethuglican Crime Blotter - Child Porn Edition

Walton County (FL) Rethuglican /New Confederate/ Stupid Party committeeman Lane Rees has been arrested on multiple counts of possessing and transmitting child pornography:

Deputies recovered “multiple images” of child pornography after serving a search warrant on his home in Santa Rosa Beach.

Rees was elected to the Walton County Commission in 2000, where he served until being defeated by 23-year-old Republican Scott Brannon four years later. He has served as Walton County’s Republican state committeeman since being elected by party members in 2008.

Oh, and let's not forget the capper on this tale of Rethug hypocrisy;  Rees

serves on the board of the United Methodist Church’s Foundation for Evangelism. 

We're willing to bet he opposed same-sex marriage, too, because PERVERTS!
