Boy Scouts Provided Cover for Child Molesters –SURPRISE!
By Imani Gandy (ABL) September 17th, 2012

Why is it that the most hateful and/or intolerant groups seem to be the ones with the most to hide? While railing against the evils of contraception, freedom of choice for women, and the sinfulness of homosexuality, the Catholic Church harbored and covered for hundreds of pedophiles.
And now, as the LA Times has discovered, while discriminating against gays, the Boy Scouts routinely covered up sex abuse allegations, dating back to 1919.

1. Pedophiles are attracted to wherever they can get access to children

but organizations that are authoritarian and secretive have provided the most secure places to hide.

2. Yup - just ask Jerry Sandusky.

Who abused his position at his own "charity" Second Mile to find young boys to abuse. That's a whole different story though.

3. Mormon Church runs most of

the Scout packs here in Utah. Every so often,we here of the pedophiles within the BSA. Always buried by the news media within minutes. Never a finger pointed towards the main source,Temple Square and their secrecy and control of all the media in the state.

4. I don't know the answer to your question, though I would also like to know

why that is the case. Seems like part of the whole 'Hater' package, doesn't it? And the stronger and more vocal the hate is, the more they have to hide.

5. Purposeful misdirection, maybe?

They point their fingers away from themselves to keep people from digging up their dirty secrets. That is my theory about it, anyhow. I forget what it is called, "deflection" or something like that.
