Yeah, the author screwed up when he equated the sharing of these photos to rape. But apart from that, the article is correct. There don't seem to be any nude photos of a minor or nude photos of anyone who wasn't taking them and sending them by their own free will. It looks like there's nothing incriminating at all here. Jim Parks did nothing wrong by having these photos, and Anonymous did something wrong by violating his privacy. And the woman in the photos certainly doesn't deserve to have her privacy violated like this. And if the pictures were taken against her will then it would be even worse to share them, but luckily that almost certainly isn't the case. I myself have been fortunate enough to receive pictures of this nature from girls, as I'm sure many guys have. The pictures are not disturbing, and I don't deserve to have my computer cracked open so everyone else can see my pictures. And I'd be horrified for the sake of the girls in the pictures who trusted me to keep my promise not to let anyone else see.
".....cute" Hey H.S.T. try drugs and booze before you try to be over the top.
What the hell was the point of this?
not a single Haire of any dog, Sanford stories make me sick ... The C Street Congressional Cult is all about an alleged deity granting total forgiveness for any crime perpetrators by such "leaders".... this is the same Sanford that Elizabeth Colbert-Busch & her ORIENT CONTAINER CORPORATION gave 1500 buck$ to.... for what ? A port Congressional perk ? Her near future job @ Clemson knowing he'd be Governor in 358 days....? Ditch digging? Is this supposed to be some secret metaphor on Morrison Drive ?
lol chris and mat represent communist/progressive ideology.
Do you know how icebergs work?
It might. If legislating was something you took a turn at instead of spending decades doing, maybe we'd have a Congress that wasn't so in bed with lobbyists. Maybe legislators wouldn't be so entrenched in parties and vying for leadership positions within them. And maybe they wouldn't be afraid to make the decisions that are necessary for fear of losing campaign contributions and the next election. There'd be a little less lust for power if it didn't have such permanence.
"Until we start rotating those clowns we have elected..."
I love how people think that will actually fix anything.
This dog and pony show in DC has been going on longer than Rush has been commenting. Anything in Washington that happens is for the good of the elected officials. If it happens to trickle down to the general populace, then we are lucky. Until we start rotating those clowns we have elected, we will continue to have this sort of horse squeeze in DC, as these idiots need this drama to survive and prosper.
From Wikipedia:
"Limbaugh has been an outspoken critic of what he sees as leniency towards criminal drug use in America. On his television show in October 5, 1995, Limbaugh stated, "too many whites are getting away with drug use" and illegal drug trafficking. Limbaugh proposed that the racial disparity in drug enforcement could be fixed if authorities increased detection efforts, conviction rates, and jail time for whites involved in illegal drugs."
So in other word, all drug addicts should be locked up forever. (Except him).
Rush Limbaugh has made me ashamed to be an American for years.
Having the freedom to be ashamed of your country publicly is one of the things that makes this shit hole of a nation so great.
I wonder if Michelle Obama will go back to her non-proud state of America when the next republican is elected president. I guess Chris' hypocrisy and snark only go one way.
It's pretty sad that Chris blogs for a free paper but isn't fit to include in the print edition.
Are all writers for the City Paper so self indulgent?
I thought it was great, and I'm a Sanford fan.
Are you William Shatner?
Terrible article...Sanford in all honesty, is not a viable candidate....Why?
There are 2 candidates worth mentioning...But mentioning them below an article about Sanford is paramount to stupidity....I may be dumb, but I am not stupid...The cream will rise to the top...And I know who he is....
Please run for office Chris. You can do better than any of them. I know you can. They represent the rich and the famous but I know you will look out for the middle class. Run Chris, run!
Fast Forward to February 2013, Marcus Sanford is asking please FORGIVE him following his zipper and heart to Argentina.... calls it a " soap opera ? " Sanford has right wing tea bagger radio Limboss wannabees fawning all over him, mostly religious radio stations.... Nimrata Haley & gay Lindsey Graham have STATE EMPLOYEES PUSH POLLING them into "favorable" poll ratings .... Professor of Winthrop Political Theocratics, because it is NOT POLITICAL "SCIENCE...." @LarryAccomplish 843-926-1750 VOTE GREEN NEW DEAL CONGRESS..... Green Party Candidate Larry Carter Center May 7th
Re: “Secession would turn South Carolina into a zombie apocalypse”
Raver,
Just interested where you obtained the demographic information on those who signed the petition. It is noted however that ever individual that signed the Constitution of the United States and the Declaration of Independence (The original seccession document, that inconsequently created our country) was indeed as white. It would seem that maybe seccession is not about racism, but maybe about individual freedom to chose ones own form of government.
