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....

Roscoe Reynolds -- Which side does he support? And did he ever comment on NAMBLA-gate?

Kilo at Spark It Up!!! has an interesting post that questions which side of the Embarq issue he is really on....

BTW, did Sen. Reynolds ever comment about the Joe Stanley/ Yellow Dog/ODBA/ NAMBLA-gate controversy?

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."

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”.

Roscoe Reynolds voted against illegal immigration legislation....

Perhaps Sen. Roscoe Reynolds needed to hire Yellow Dog Joe Stanley because of his image as being soft on illegal immigration since he has voted time and time again to kill any type of legislation to help with that problem. For example....

The Bill: HB 2322....
Criminal procedure; admission to bail. Adds a presumption, subject to rebuttal, against admitting to bail any person charged with a felony who is identified as being present in the United States illegally.

The Vote: Passed overwhelmingly in the House (92 to 5), it was killed in the Senate with Reynolds voting to kill it.

The Bill: HB 1618....
Immigration laws. Governor to enter into agreement with federal immigration regarding. States that it is the responsibility of the Governor to enter into an agreement with federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement that would allow the Department of State Police to enforce civil immigration laws.

The Vote: Passed in the House after Democrats tried to spike it by passing it off to committee. Killed in the Senate with Reynolds voting to kill it.

The Bill: HB 2448....
Verification of citizen status. Requires that a jailer shall reasonably attempt to verify the citizen status of certain persons who are confined in jail and that the Department of Corrections shall issue guidelines for such verifications. The bill also requires the Virginia State Bar to investigate the practice of providing legal advice to illegal immigrants and to establish related guidelines on unauthorized practice of law.

The Vote: Passed overwhelmingly in the House (90 to 6). Killed in Senate with Reynolds voting to kill it.

Reynolds also believes ILLEGAL immigrants should receive instate college tuition.

Roscoe Reynolds ... soft on illegal immigration?
