YIKES! Sick-to-your-stomach time. I couldn't read further.

Awful. This guy is a sicko. Guess his type just sorta gravitates toward a place like Pox.

[derby378]

3. This is news?

For his sake, I hope it was only some of the "playful" Miley Cyrus photos...

[kay1864]

73. NO, this guy is major sick

Per the affidavit on Smoking Gun...girls as young as 5 years old. And not just posed nude.

Inmates will not be kind to his sort in prison.

4. How rich.

Seriously, is there even ONE who's not a hypocrite? :shrug: :eyes:

[SacredCow]

Right on the heels of the McCain campaign manager...

being arrested on molestation charges...

[That Is Quite Enough]

5. Creep. Glad his sorry ass was arrested.

[AlCzervik]

6. this will be Billo's lead story tonight....right?

[SacredCow]

8. Hehehe... Nope. Just like ANY right-leaning sex-offender...

He'll get a free pass from Bill, Rush, etc....

[derby378]

9. But of course!

Billo is a raging masculine paragon of impartial journalism, complete with the scent of stale Polo and failure!

[BrklynLiberal]

7. Certainly would not wish t his on anyone, but if it HAD to happen, it could

not have happened to a more deserving "news" station.

[SoCalDem]

10. Is the Drudge light flashing:)

:rofl:

[FrenchieCat]

11. Oh My!

[MineralMan]

12. Let's see...a search warrant on the DC Bureau's servers would

seem to be in order. Perhaps they'd find some other kiddie porn there, I'm thinking.

[EFerrari]

18. If you read the comments at the link. it looks like this same individual

had police contact IN COLLEGE for the same issue.

[KansDem]

20. Yeah, and won't they have to seize those servers?

Evidence, you know?

There just might be a God after all. Oh, this one's gonna be rich, rich, rich.

[mmonk]

16. Is this a joke?

[DemoTex]

17. If they are going to drink the Kool-Aid ..

They at least need to spike it with saltpeter.

22. The AM news anchor at the Tampa Faux affiliate was arrested recently also.

DUI & Resisting.

Rhodes was arrested Jan. 16 and charged with obstructing or opposing an officer without violence after trying to run from an off-duty deputy in the Channelside parking garage, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said.

He was arraigned Wednesday on that charge, online court records show.

Deputies say that at 10:15 p.m. on Jan. 16, Rhodes was driving recklessly in his 2006 BMW 325i through the garage at 810 Channelside Drive. When an off-duty deputy stopped Rhodes and tried to take the BMW's key away from him, Rhodes refused, sheriff's spokesman J.D. Callaway said.

And this follows the arrest of that same Faux station's VP and General Manager on Indecent Exposure and Lewd and Lascivious charge a few months earlier.

Can Beck and O'Lielly be far behind?


:rofl: :rofl:

[Lochloosa]

23. I doubt this story. I searched all over faux news and there was nothing about this.

Nothing.

[devilgrrl]

25. And why would FAUX cover such a story?

As usual. Ptooey.

[Catherine Vincent]

27. Sad. :(

[Bluebear]

29. Some people are saying it's the tip of the iceberg, too. nt

[Mnemosyne]

46. The Franklin Cover-Up investigation needs to be reopened. n/t

[lies and propaganda]

61. without a doubt.

I try to tell only my most open minded friends about it and still NO ONE ever believes taht in our country we coyuld do that shit.

Hiding in Plain Sight.

Since reading deCamps book, I have NEVER gotten it out of my head.

[Mnemosyne]

85. Terribly disturbing.

When I found out they use school picture files to pick out their victims, :nuke:

I think DeCamp finally realized there was nothing he could do to stop them and gave up or was threatened. Poppy is a key pervert and would love to see him go down hard.

We'll never know the true story of the massacre that * was involved in along the Mexican border either. Disappeared and came back three days later, everyone else living there had been slaughtered. A reporter from a SF newspaper asked him about it in 2000. His answer, "I'm not going to comment on something that may or may not have happened." Extremely strange answer imho.

The evil that men do...

:hi:

[spanone]

30. perverts poisoning the information world

[GentryDixon]

32. Was Billo with him?

[CitizenPatriot]

34. sadly, billo was busy harassing his producer, so no can do for the child

porn. Apparently, Billo likes to humiliate and harass live people, whereas this dude likes to distribute child porn.

There's a drinking game here, I just know it.

[Hepburn]

33. Ooooooooh, Repukican Family Values....

35. The Smoking Gun has the warrant posted now...

Fox Newser In Kiddie Porn Bust

Feds: FBI search found vile videos, photos on producer's laptop

FEBRUARY 10--A Fox News producer who covered Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign for the cable network is facing child porn charges after federal agents discovered photos and videos on his computer depicting "children under the age of ten being sexually abused by adult men and women." Aaron Bruns, 29, was apparently nabbed after a Pennsylvania state police investigator conducting "pro-active undercover investigations" on an unnamed peer-to-peer network determined that Bruns's computer contained llicit images. According to an arrest warrant affidavit filed in U.S. District Court, an FBI search of a Dell laptop in Bruns's Washington, D.C. home turned up several photos and videos showing the sexual abuse of children as young as five years old.

[tnlefty]

43. I read that earlier and damned near puked.

While I applaud the efforts to find those who distribute this vile stuff, I've been wondering over the years how much effort is made to try to identify the adults who are participating in these crimes against children and to recover the children.

It seems as though I don't read or hear about that, just the investigations and arrests of those distributing this.

[Juan_de_la_Dem]

48. I started to read the affidavit and had to stop, This world is messed up

And Mr Bruns is a sick man

[nichomachus]

65. DO NOT read the affidavit

if you want to keep your lunch down . . . .

This guy is truly a wretched individual. No wonder he ended up at Fox.

[Best_man23]

70. Caution: Warrant IS NSFW

Also, don't read the warrant if you are easily offended. Content is quite graphic in detail.

[EmilyAnne]

36. Sick.

[lunatica]

37. Hahahahha! HAHAHAHAH!

HAHAHAHAHA! Tee-heeeee! Snicker! Sniff! Hahahaha! HAHAHAHA! CACKLE! giggle! sniff!

[prolesunited]

51. Read the description of the what was found on Smoking Gun

and stop laughing. This isn't even remotely funny. My heart aches for the little girls who are victims of these sick fucks.

[lunatica]

58. Walk in my shoes for a mile

Believe me. I don't have to imagine being a molested little girl. Laughter isn't always about things being funny. Sometimes it's the relief of knowing another one of these people has been caught. So please stow the criticism unless you've also been a sexually assaulted child.

[varkam]

78. Okay, well then I'll criticise you.

Personally I think laughter is pretty inappropriate, but that's me.

You can disagree if you like - and I don't even have to ask for proof that you've been raped at some point, either.

[lunatica]

82. So you think it's good of you not to demand proof from me?

Even if I had the proof I wouldn't share it with someone who passes judgment on what constitutes appropriate behavior. If you can't tell what I was laughing at then you're not very bright, and therefore a waste of time.

[varkam]

83. Ohh, name-calling now. Nice!

And you apparently missed the point. My response, aside from being critical of your finding anything to laugh at in this situation, was also intended to be critical of your implied assertion that your opinion is somehow more right on the basis of something that happened to you as a child. So I thought I would step in, seeing as how I was raped as a child, also. So, if you want to deflect my criticism then you're going to have to come up with something better than "Were you raped as a child?" or calling me "not very bright."

If you have any other names that you would like to call me, please feel free!

[intaglio]

54. Sorry Lunatica,

but you must read the arrest warrant.

Schadenfreude is ok but the videos and pictures make my laughter drown in tears. A video of a 3 year old FFS ... :grr:

[lunatica]

59. Laughter can also drown the tears

Spare me your judgment. I was molested when I was a child so I have first hand knowledge of this shit. You are welcome to react in your own personal way though.

[Octafish]

39. When will Roger Ailes face justice?

The turd helped lie America into a war that's killed hundreds of thousands of innocent children.

[Doremus]

40. OMG, the guy is one sick fuck.

The descriptions of the photos and videos on his computer are horrid.

Those poor, poor children. :cry:

How do monsters like this come to be? He was a pedophile at AGE 19 for cripesakes -- HOW does that happen to someone?

[Born_A_Truman]

41. Bruns, not Burns

Perhaps why the poster couldn't find anything on the story.

[MadBadger]

42. Your right, I saw Bruns, and typed Burns..

Never seen somebody with the last name of Bruns

[MineralMan]

44. It's not that common a name, but

there are lots of Bruns out there. To find them, you have to put quotes around the name in Google. "Bruns"

Since it means "brown" in French, it's not surprising.

[4 t 4]

50. Pedophiles and gays are worlds apart

Your remark is very offensive and what's worse, you probably don't even realize it.

BTW, I read the charges. Looks like he preferred little girls.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

64. right! Sexual predators tend to be heterosexual males.

Statistically speaking, and there are tons of studies over many years showing that consistent evidence.

[nichomachus]

66. Gay men don't get off on pictures of little girls

This guy is hetero all the way

[progdonkey]

72. wow, there's so much wrong in that comment...

Yeah, he's playing the guitar... why the fuck does that mean he's probably a closeted gay man? Why the fuck does that mean anything?

"closet 'toe-tapper'"? What, cause only "fags" play musical instruments?

The guy's straight, but very sick and perverted. The pictures mentioned in the affidavit weren't "just" naked little girls or even sex with naked little girls, but actively degrading, tying up, and sodomizing little girls.

But, yeah, that probably just means he's a faggot, right? :mad:

[Vektor]

52. Another Republican pedophile? Not even surprising anymore.

That's what they do.

[mr1956]

53. How did he get probation in 1999 for the same charges?

I don't understand how an individual found with 6000 images of child pornography gets off with probation. He should have had his sorry ass thrown in jail at that time. He is sick and his actions have hurt an untold number of children.

[varkam]

55. It was probably his first offense. eom

[Lochloosa]

57. There should never be a chance for a second.

[varkam]

67. You're certainly entitled to your opinion. eom

[Lochloosa]

56. Why wasn't he registered as a sexual predator? 2ND OFFENSE.

In July 1999, Bruns, then 19, pleaded guilty in Michigan (where he was enrolled in college) to distributing child pornography over the Internet. He was sentenced to three years probation. Bruns was collared in the earlier case after a Florida law enforcement official discovered his illicit online activities. When police raided Bruns's University of Michigan dorm room, they discovered about 6000 pornographic images of children on his computer's hard drive.


Three fucking years probation for 6000 images? It should have been 3 life sentences.

[Alcibiades]

77. Probation on a first offense is pretty standard

for someone busted on child porn charges--particularly if they are a white, middle class college student with no prior offenses.

As a 29 year old with a child porn offense, he's looking at a 5-year minimum, 40-year maximum. Given the circumstances, I expect more than the minimum.

This will be federal time, which is actually better than most state facilities.

[high density]

62. Some day these nasty guys are going to learn how to use encryption

and law enforcement is going to be screwed.

[valerief]

68. I'm sure Fox News will be all over this! Bwahahahaha! nt

[Soylent Brice]

69. i love the smell of scandal in the.. er.... uh.. afternoon.

let this be the first domino for FAUX, pleasepleaseplease.

[glinda]

71. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!

[defendandprotect]

74. Sexual perversion and the rise of the right . . .

Justice Clarence Thomas being one other example of this ---

[grantcart]

75. the affadavits are extremely disturbing - unbelievable that this is still around

[PatrynXX]

76. Bill O the Clown part two?

Fox News and sex. They seem to be connected.

[lpbk2713]

79. I have to wonder if this scumbag made any trips to the Dominican Republic with OxyRush?

It wouldn't surprise me in the least.

[WeDidIt]

80. I simply cannot laugh at this

after reading the affidavit on The Smoking Gun.

This sick fuck needs to never see another free day in his life. The simple fact is, if sick fucks like this didn't want to see that sick shit, that sick shit would not be made.

[Alcibiades]

84. Most of it is made by the sick fucks themselves

Who pass it around to one another. Sometimes they do the same with their victims, too. It's controversial how many pedophiles convicted for porn offenses are also child molesters who have victims they have victimized in person, but if we knew more about the kind of sting Bruns was caught up in, we'd know more about his types of offenses.

What's clear is that a very, very bad man is going to prison for a very long time. He cannot plead ignorance, either, given his earlier offense.

[JFN1]

81. Disgusting.

I can't read that thing...jeez...this guy is one sick piece of shit. I hope he rots in jail for the rest of his life.
