Sanders back in the news again:

... I wondered at the time if he was the one that got Kerry's documents through Lehman's office and was trying to figure out how long he had been in the medal business. I couldn't prove anything, so I dropped my research. ... ----------Wade Sanders - (Re: Kerry citation a 'total mystery' to ex-Navy chief (John Lehman)) From calcowgirl , 08/28/2004 9:49:54 PM PDT new

Where have I heard that before?

Peter Townshend?

Scott Ritter is another Democrat pedophile who got nailed.
I think he’s into little girls, though.

Remember Wade Sanders? He was one of the "band of brothers"--Swift Boat veterans who supported John Kerry's presidential campaign and appeared onstage at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. ...Sanders is back in the news. The San Diego Union-Tribune reports that he "pleaded guilty yesterday to a federal charge of possessing child pornography". Sanders acknowledged in court that he had "possessed computer files containing 600 images of minors, including a 21-minute video that depicted girls engaging in sex acts with an adult man."

{{Sanders' connection with Kerry dates back to before when the two served in Vietnam. Sanders and David Thorn, Kerry's brother-in-law, were shipmates and shared an apartment in Belmont Shore, where Kerry "became a resident of our couch," according to Sanders.
Through the years, Sanders said he and Kerry have remained friends. Sanders, who was a former deputy assistant secretary of the Navy, has been campaigning for Kerry across the country. He has also been critical of Bush on veterans' issues for many years.}}

Hey Wade?!? Is Bernie Ward going to be your ‘catcher’ or the ‘pitcher’?

Calling Chrissy Matthews, time to host a Federal Prison Edition of “Let’s Play Hardball”, w/Sanders & Ward!

Two scumbags that truly deserve each other.

They might want to check this guy's office computer:

"I felt fear," Bjelke said. "Taking care of those things would mean dealing with something I didn't want to deal with. It might hurt me." So, he avoided it „Ÿ until he learned he could face his problems with the help of another Vietnam vet.
He found that vet through the weekly legal clinic run by the Vietnam Veterans Outreach Program, 2900 Sixth Ave. Wade Sanders, a local lawyer who served three years in Vietnam with the Navy, fast told Bjelke he understood his discomfort and mistrust. He then advised him on legal moves to clear his past.
"It was one of those times when Vietnam veterans hung on to each other," said Bjelke. "I thought it was real good of him to offer his services."
Sanders, who founded the clinic at the Veterans Administration Center five years ago, offers his services free of charge there every Wednesday night. Working alone, he starts at 5 p.m. and ends "whenever the last person walks through the door." In the course of hundreds of hours of work, he has helped hundreds of San Diego County vets who often didn't feel comfortable turning elsewhere. The legal problems he hears run the gamut, from unpaid parking tickets and child custody troubles to credit difficulties and business woes. Some vets ask his advice when purchasing real estate, others when starting businesses.
Though their legal problems vary, their personal issues are often the same.
"They have a deep and abiding feat of the bureaucratic system," Sanders said. "The government did not serve them well in the past. They don't trust it, and they may be terrified of it"

Well now that he is a learned federal lawyer maybe he is ready once again to served in the Bama administration, or assist a foreign relations chairman. (only slight sarcasm)

"I believe Pete Townsend also used the research defense."

Yep.

"Townshend claimed he accessed the Web sites because he was researching material for his autobiography, which will include passages about his abusive childhood. In his statement, he said he thinks he may have been sexually abused between the ages of 5 and 6 while in the care of his maternal grandmother, who was mentally ill.

The LIBRATS mantra is to accuse others of the very things they are aggressive engaging in. (e.g. “Culture of Corruption”, “Intolerance of Others”, “Lies”, “Secretive Governement”, “Trading on Influence”...)

Aw, but if I had just googled the word, I wouldn't have gotten your sweet Christmas message!

And a very Merry Christmas to you and yours and Freepers everywhere.

Oh, I get that one!

My German grandfather used to call me and my sister his little scheissers when we were toddlers.

Sanders acknowledged in court that he had "possessed computer files containing 600 images of minors, including a 21-minute video that depicted girls engaging in sex acts with an adult man."

Sanders, a lawyer, said he didn't realize federal child pornography laws barred downloading or viewing the material even by researchers. He said that is why he decided to plead guilty

BS Wade. Enjoy your stay in jail, "chickenhawk".

As good as the Navy system is, every once in a while a $hitbird like Kerry or this guy sneaks through.
