Thomas Adams, longtime Green Oaks mayor and former chairman of the Lake County Republican Central Committee, was charged Monday with possession and distribution of child pornography.

Adams, 67, faces 11 counts of disseminating child pornography and two counts of possession. Lake County Judge Victoria Rossetti set his bond at $100,000. snip

After being taken into custody, Adams acknowledged that all of the screen names were his and that no one else used his computer, Fix said, adding that Adams admitted he had "a problem with addiction."

1. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

More good conservative morals and values!!!! What a great example of an asshole!!!

[goclark]

2. Why did I know it was a RepubliCON? LOL

[malaise]

27. My immediate reaction

was which Rethug is this? Hahahahahahahaha! Fugging sickos.

[goclark]

35. Is there a website that is keeping a list of all the sick RepubliCONS?

The names alone would take up a 1000 pages.

[krkaufman]

37. Probably because you're familiar with the "doth protest too much" line

Repubs just seem to get busted for this stuff a whole lot more frequently, and I figure it's because they use the ultra-pious holier-than-all-of-thou facade of the Rethuglican Party as a cover.

[xchrom]

3. more of those republican family values hard at work.

[Javaman]

4. Even before I opened this thread, I said to myself...

"self, it has to be a repuke". and I wasn't disappointed.

:rofl:

6. Well, that's another entry for this webpage!

16. Yep, those repugs keep......

that webmaster busy! He probably hasn't had a day off in years!:evilgrin:

[pitohui]

7. what is their problem?

why do republicans get off on kiddie porn so frequently? it just doesn't seem normal to me and you hear more and more of these stories

[lectrobyte]

10. That which is repressed usually gets expressed in some bizarre way,

ulitimately... I don't get it either, but having lived in GA, VA, NC, IN, TX, PA and a few other places, it certainly seems to be that the deeper into the Bible Belt you buckle yourself, the stranger things are that seem to turn up.

[Fridays Child]

12. Yep, and it's hardly the Repressicans would attract the lion's share...

...of perverts seeking political careers.

[The Wizard]

29. And

The Bible thumpers have much higher divorce rates.
The only difference between this character and others of his ilk (family value repube voters) is they haven't been caught yet.
If they're not busy killing innocent people they're jacking off to kiddie porn. There are some really sick motherfuckers.

[yardwork]

33. Sickos are just naturally drawn to the Republican Party

What's not to love about the GOP for sickos? It stands for selfishness, greed, and self-righteousness wrapped up in hypocrisy.

[lectrobyte]

8. 67? Damn. Gonna be tough on a 67 year old short eyes in the big house.

[hwmnbn]

18. Wow, I remember that movie.....

Yep, it's not gonna be pretty for him.

Maybe God will have mercy on his soul, but his ass is ....

[warrens]

9. I wish we had a data base of these hypocritical pervs

It would be nice to spam around the internet from time to time, every time some anal fissure starts talking about the Repukes being GODLY

[lectrobyte]

11. I just saw this link, in this very thread...

http://www.armchairsubversive.com/

Seems to have links to news articles etc., a small excerpt

Republican County Constable Larry Dale Floyd was arrested on suspicion of soliciting sex with an 8-year old girl. Floyd has repeatedly won elections for Denton County, Texas, constable.

Republican judge Mark Pazuhanich pleaded no contest to fondling a 10-year old girl and was sentenced to 10 years probation.

Republican Party leader Bobby Stumbo was arrested for having sex with a 5-year old boy

13. " . . . adding that Adams admitted he had "a problem with addiction."

Oh, what I would give for a list of Rush Limbaugh's screen names, or Karl Rove's, for that matter.

[Fuzz]

14. Surprised he didn't use the 'research' excuse.

[autorank]

15. Damn, sounds like "Donny Darko" - amazing. What would Rush say?

Glad they caught him. Now lets see who runs the defense fund.

Will the Republicans use the old and discredited "false memory" charge?
Right, the mayor had false memories of being a decent human being when
all along he was just a sleazoid par excellence.

17. lake county illinois

where things started getting redder about the time they got the opscan vote counters, iirc.

[kanrok]

28. Actually, Lake County is getting bluer

Lake County has always been a repub enclave. In the last two primaries, more people have pulled dem ballots than repub. The county has been growing by leaps and bounds for the last 15 years. More people from Chicago are moving out here.

[charlie]

19. Thomas Adams, second from left

[kanrok]

26. Damn...If one were to profile for Republicans

these dorks would be stopped at border crossings every time.

[klook]

20. Gee, whaddya know? He's a REPUBLICAN...

Funny how that works. The party of moral values has quite a few skeletons in its closet, it seems.

[RonHack]

40. I read that list.....

...the main irony is that most of them were doing what they "were against" others doing.

Family values = multiple divorcee
Anti-gay = closet homosexual
Anti-abortion = had abortion, or persuaded abortion

Ah, the GOP = Party of Hypocrisy.

[klook]

21. "a problem with addiction"

No, Fuckhead, you have a problem with being a worthless, scumbag, predatory CRIMINAL!!!! May he rot in jail.

[racaulk]

32. Those were exactly my thoughts.

He doesn't have a problem with addiction. Addiction is not the issue. He has a problem with sexually objectifying young children. Absolutely disgusting! I hope he gets put away for a long time.

[Warren DeMontague]

22. People think perverts wear trenchcoats and hang out near porno stores

seems to me the worst ones are as often as not found lurking at the yacht club, or at the local GOP headquarters, or dressed in a Priest's collar.

[City Lights]

23. My self-righteous-GOP cousin lives in Green Oaks.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall in their home. Since shit like this is always O.K. when done by a puke, I'd probably be sickened at what I heard. :puke:

edited for typo

24. "... there are no live victims" WTF

from the paragraph:

I understand that it is the defense attorney's job to keep his client out of jail but for him to say that there were no live victims just pisses me off.

Defense attorney Thomas Briscoe argued for a minimal bond, saying Adams "has no criminal record, and these are all images, there are no live victims." Briscoe added that Adams "has been involved with public service most of his life."

yet earlier in the article it said:

The alleged pornography includes both still images and at least one explicit movie of a boy masturbating, Fix said.

There were still images and at least one movie. There were living victims! Just because they can't identify them doesn't mean they aren't victims.

Perhaps they should keep Mr. Adams locked up until they figure out where he got these pictures to pass on. I'm sure there are more than a few guys inside that are willing to help him remember.

[Chulanowa]

25. Oh yes...

Prison populations are always happy to have a child abuser added to the mix...

[hobbit709]

30. "there are no live victims"

One could take that to mean there are DEAD victims-which definitely would be worse.

[Ganja Ninja]

31. At this point it might be easier to list all the Republican's that ...

aren't perv's than to list the one's that are.

[borlis]

34. This is in my neck of the woods folks...

I can't wait to hear the spin on this one. I am mentally preparing my comebacks. Something about "family values, morally perfect republican."


:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[Botany]

36. And from the L. C. R. home page:

The Lake County Republican Party is committed to the republican principles that include smaller, responsible government and promoting family values.

:puke:

[ComerPerro]

38. I am Jack's complete lack of suprise

[kestrel91316]

39. I must be psychic. I just KNEW he was a Republican, lol!

And my next question - WHEN did he start doing this stuff? Last week?

I bet he's been doing this for DECADES.
