Does anyone recall the "child sex ring" of the Bush 41 Administration?

[kentuck]

It was all swept under the rug but I'm sure it happened during Poppy Bush's Administration? does nayone have any more facts on this? I'm reminded of this when the Repubs bring up Gerry Studds sexcapade with the young page. Does anyone remember the "players"?

9. I reiterate - it is a MUST SEE.

You don't have to watch the whole hour, but even 15t minutes will let you see that this thing is for real. ANd it is really HARD to Believe, based on a single newspaper clipping, until you do see it.

king (not the larry king on tv, this is a black guy) what a scandal...makes this one look like snow white..

7. Every time they bring up Studds this should be the retort!

8. This is a subject we are not "permitted" to discuss on DU.

Several threads on the subject have been locked, and I'm sure this one will be also.

[Rockstone]

10. Oops.

is it because it is questionable?

Also is there a list of forbidden things somewhere? Better to know them then make a mistake.

11. Since they put 911 in the basement, may they could put up a

group forum for Franklin and other sex scandals? Franklin is not conspriacy. It just was not allowed to be concluded.

12. Wait, I think I found out why it keeps getting locked/deleted.

  I didn't catch this on another message but The Magistrate, when he locked this message says:

This is hugely unreliable material, based mostly on fantasy and extreme right operatives, with source material that claims Rep. Frank is a pedophile and regular customer of the mythical kidnap ring. It has long been considered unsuitable for posting on Democratic Underground. Do not put it up again.

  I couldn't find a link to Barney Frank at first, but I did on subsequent searches. I found pretty much the exact same page at two completely different sites (red flag) which claim that Bonacci, a victim of the abuse, specifically named Barney Frank as having had sex with him. Whether this is from actual testimony or part of a smear piece is somewhat irrelevant: A Dem was named so maybe DU isn't the best place to continue to pursue this.

13. Thanks

I wondered.

14. Locking

The topic of the Franklin coverup has come up before during the Gannon incident and here's what Skinner had to say about it then:

Twenty threads... And where are we now? We've got the embarrassing spectacle of DU members linking to blatantly anti-semitic and homophobic websites. These threads have become huge magnets for trolls, eager to make us all look like fools. I never thought I'd see members of this site approving of articles that accuse Rep. Barney Frank of pedophilia. Some people seem to have lost all ability for critical thought.
