Unfortunately the number of ‘pedophiles’ and ‘pervert predators’ who are republican is disproportionately large. It doesn’t matter if it’s the Mayor of Spokane, or the republican head of the anti-gay initiative at the Boy Scouts who turned out to be into kiddie porn. When you go digging in the closets of republicans, there’s a reason the ‘claim’ to be anti-gay and anti-pedophiles with such a vengeance. Because so many of their own are both, and they revile themselves.

Here’s a list compiled from:
