Bernie Ward: progressive kook with child pornography

I never liked the whale. Not one bit. He's obnoxious. And now he's been busted with kiddie porn.

Bernie Ward, a popular liberal San Francisco radio talk show host and former Catholic priest, has been indicted on federal child pornography charges, authorities said today.

Ward, 56, surrendered to federal authorities earlier today but the specifics of the allegations against him are under seal, officials said.

San Francisco values. Need I say more?

And here's the lamest part of the whole fiasco.....

"More than three years ago, Bernie was doing research for a book he was doing on hypocrisy in America," Weinberg said.

As part of the research, Ward downloaded "a few images" of child pornography, and, Weinberg said, "it came to the attention of the government in late 2004."

"They investigated and they never found any involvement in child pornography other than this period that he accessed these images," Weinberg said. "The government knows that Bernie was doing this for an investigation he was doing for a book. But the government believes he violated the letter of the law and they have gone ahead and prosecuted him.

So let me get this straight - his defense is that he was writing a book??? And that is supposed to be legitimate?

I guess all the people that have been caught with pot, heroin, crack, etc, should have just said "Officer, I'm writing a book and I needed this stuff." Terrorists with C4 - "Hey.....I'm just writing a book! Lighten up, infidel!"

I'd just love to know what he needs the kiddie porn for to write his book. Not sayin the guy's truly a pedophile, but at the least, he's dumber than dog shit for downloading images like that.

The law is the law, Bernie. Kiddie porn is illegal. Even in San Francisco.  You can't just do whatever the hell you want, even if you're an ivory tower leftist retard. Got it?

Pig pedophile, blithering idiot, or both? Hmm.
