Ya know, it’s OK and perhaps good that this guy is running. I do hope this gets him on the local law enforcement radar. It’s sort of what the USA is about. Express your ideas, if you are a simple nutcase like a… say… Flat Earth Society member (harmless idiots and trolls), well, have at it. In a weird way, perhaps Trump is draining the swamp by having all the people that support him coming out from under rocks and being identified. This is being VERY optimistic. But it might be something. Trump being elected sure has opened my eyes. I had no idea the country was still full of racists, misogynist morons. I’m quite well traveled in the 50 states, and some things do surprise me. But electing Trump, is still hard to believe. The morons I will give a bit of a pass. Not everyone is born with critical thinking skills. And while knowledge is available to most, some don’t seem to know how to seek it out, or have the tools to do so. The others, the flat out racists and misogynists can just fuck right off. ---

One of the comments is “He’s sitting in Bavaria in the late 1930s.” A comment on another website’s story about him said, “I want to apologize to my computer for clicking on this link.” This guy couldn’t have run for public office just two years ago, that’s for sure. ---

Given how often and how publicly he has admitted to rape, why isn’t that piece of filth in jail? ---

Statute of limitations/lack of evidence, maybe? That’s just speculation. ---

You might have a point there: [ol] [li]White Supremacy (complete with Hitler praise)[/li][li]Removal of all rights for women[/li][li]Kiddy porn[/li][/ol] Liberals hate all of those. For some reason, “conservatives” still vote for candidates with those ideas in their campaigns. Weird. ---

He’s the bad guy in NCIS SVU. If conservatives can be persuaded to vote for That, we may as well admit that the propaganda is invincible. ---

I’m not sure why some random also-ran candidate is being picked apart by the national press. A weirdo third party/independent nobody candidate has odious views on race, women, and children? Knock me over with a feather. > [@nearwildheaven](#): > > This guy couldn’t have run for public office just two years ago, that’s for sure. He ran for office ten years ago. ---

> [@Czarcasm](#): > > Is it still considered to be virgin olive oil after the party is over? You’ve never wondered why your supermarket doesn’t sell olive oil that’s called “fucked”? Obviously because it’s way too time-consuming to process. (Well, that and the low yield due to the inherent inefficiency of the method.) So it’s a niche product, only found in those little artisan-type places. The people who process this type of olive oil for a living are, not surprisingly, known as “fuckers”. The finished oil does have slightly different properties depending on the size and shape of person who processes it, and the better varieties sometimes specify this in great detail on the label, using designations such as “Skinny Little Fucker”, “Big Fucker”, and the coveted “Big-Ass Mother Fucker”. ---

Well, at least he’s served some prison time. Not enough, but some. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/admitted-pedo-running-for-office-and-it-gets-worse/815243.md?page=2)
