Roscoe Reynolds, Eric Ferguson, & dem political tricks discussed on TV

Carl at Spark It Up!! has a great roundup of what occurred with the Roscoe Reynolds/Eric Ferguson/Joe Stanley/NAMBLA-gate episode.

In his post Alton Foley Discusses Roscoe Reynolds, Eric Ferguson, Joey Stanley, and the NAMBLA Issue on TV, he offers a timeline of events, video of Roscoe Reynolds' appearance on TV, and asks:

So what did Roscoe really know? How does a media company operate out of Eric Ferguson's campaign headquarters? Does the Democratic Party condone Franklin County Chairman Joey Stanley's NAMBLA actions? There are many questions that need to be answered.

Yes, many questions are waiting for answers....

Yellow Dog Roundup ... what the blogs are saying about NAMBLA-gate - Updated

The latest posts concerning Joe Stanley's controversial linking of the ODBA domain name to NAMBLA. The story continues to grow....

* Jim Riley at Virginia Virtucon: How Would You View This?

* Ward at The Ward View: Are Ben and Joey Trying to Intimidate Reporters?

* F22 Strike at United Conservatives of Virginia: We Are the ODBA.

* Kilo at Spark It Up!!! The Franklin News Post covers the Joey Stanley, Roscoe Reynolds, Eric Ferguson NAMBLA linking Fiasco.

* Jim Riley at Virginia Virtucon: How Would You View This?

* Scott's Morning Brew: Ben and Joey is “scary”…

Update:

* Grumpy's Gripes writes Boring and says, "Well it’s been a boring couple of weeks in the news and the Blogosphere… well… save for the Joey Stanley/Pedophile/Been Tribbett debacle. Every time I turn around those two are sticking their feet in their mouths. Of course it has picked up steam and has now hit the main stream media. I hope it crucifies them both. Sorry pukes."

* James Atticus Bowden at Deo Vindice posts The Silence of the Lame where he notes that Joe Stanley wrote that the ODBA "was out of control and needed to be stopped." Jim wrote, "Need to be stopped? From blogging? How odd and telling about Liberals/Democrats/Human Secularists/Socialists, our totalitarians in training."

* Chris at Mason Conservative finally waded into the controversy with Interested Reading in which he notes Ben Tribbett's comment to The New Dominion's Chris Graham: “Finally, I am planning to seek comments from statewide Democratic candidates on whether they would ever feel comfortable talking to you again." Chris observes, "I get the feeling that there is some sort of coverup going on here, why else would Ben make such an outrageous threat? And a larger question, what does it say about Democrats in Virginia if they let a blogger and a consultant tell them who is good enough to talk to."

Silence from dems continues ... do they approve of Joe Stanley's ODBA/NAMBLA linking?

Jim Patrick's post today begins:

Just over a year ago I listened in amazement as a party extremist berated Virginia’s Lt. Governor for using the term ‘Democrat Party’ instead of ‘Democratic Party’ in a speech. Though I later verified this is technically correct, I couldn’t understand his fanaticism over a minor grammar error. Back then, I didn’t understand. Now I do.

Not only the dems' obsession with "democrat/ic" but also their dirty tricks are addressed by Mr. Patrick including the recent Joe Stanley/ODBA/NAMBLA controversy ... and the amazing silence from the democrats concerning Stanley's linking the conservative Old Dominion Blog Alliance name, unbeknownst to those clicking on it, to the North American Man-Boy Love Association:

The act was hateful, and should be condemned by reasonable people on both the right and the left. Those on the right of Virginia’s political spectrum have already condemned it. We’re still waiting for the first peep from his employers, political partners, or Party officials.

Jerry Fuhrman at From On High has posted On That Franklin County Demcoratic Chairman in which he gives background on Franklin County Democrat Chairman Joe Stanley's past dirty tricks of redirecting links from one domain name to another ... and links to a Roanoke Times article that gives more background on how Stanley has used this type of trick for a while.

Scott's Morning Brew writes Joe Stanley, Yellow Dog Strategy, Roscoe Reynolds, Eric Ferguson and the pedophilia site…

Roanoke Times checks out Roscoegate....

Today's Roanoke Times looks into the Joe Stanley/Roscoe Reynolds/ODBA connection:

Involved in the war of words is Franklin County Democratic Chairman Joe Stanley and bloggers from the conservative Old Dominion Blog Alliance.

Tensions rose on Aug. 17 when Stanley created OldDominionBlogAlliance.com and redirected it to the Web site for the North American Man/Boy Love Association.

NAMBLA is an organization that seeks to lower the age of consent for sex between men and boys.

Roscoe Reynolds-gate widens....

Can misleading domain names on the internet be a federal offense? The code reads:

"Whoever knowingly uses a misleading domain name on the Internet with the intent to deceive a person into viewing material constituting obscenity shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 2 years, or both."

The controversy over Joe Stanley's dirty political trick of switching domain names continues to grow. He bought the domain name of the conservative "Old Dominion Blog Alliance" and then linked it to the NAMBLA website causing unsuspecting readers to link to the "North American Man-Boy Love Association."

Here's the law:

Misleading Domain Name: Those who use a misleading domain name on the Internet in an attempt to deceive a minor child into viewing material that is considered harmful to that minor is committing a federal offense. This is irrespective of whether or not the material meets the legal definition of obscenity. [18 U.S.C. 2252B]

U.S. CODE > TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 110 > § 2252B
§ 2252B. Misleading domain names on the Internet

(a) Whoever knowingly uses a misleading domain name on the Internet with the intent to deceive a person into viewing material constituting obscenity shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 2 years, or both.

(b) Whoever knowingly uses a misleading domain name on the Internet with the intent to deceive a minor into viewing material that is harmful to minors on the Internet shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 4 years, or both.

(c) For the purposes of this section, a domain name that includes a word or words to indicate the sexual content of the site, such as “sex” or “porn”, is not misleading.

(d) For the purposes of this section, the term “material that is harmful to minors” means any communication, consisting of nudity, sex, or excretion, that, taken as a whole and with reference to its context—

(1) predominantly appeals to a prurient interest of minors;

(2) is patently offensive to prevailing standards in the adult community as a whole with respect to what is suitable material for minors; and

(3) lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value for minors.

(e) For the purposes of subsection (d), the term “sex” means acts of masturbation, sexual intercourse, or physcial [1] contact with a person’s genitals, or the condition of human male or female genitals when in a state of sexual stimulation or arousal.

[1] So in original. Probably should be “physical”.
