Republicans Love Their Prostitutes

An Associated Press article printed in the Denver Post covers a recent concern of increased prostitution at political conventions from predominantly one angle - the Republican angle.

The travesty of media justice starts with the screaming headline:

Groups Predict Prostitution Spike at RNC

Odd that the Denver Post would print such an article, without noting that the source of the information also has concern about the Democratic National Convention. Or rather, not odd at all considering the DNC is being hosted in Denver. I suppose it wouldn't benefit the Post to run an article indicating that prostitution might be a problem in their home city.

However, nestled in the article, six paragraphs in, is an admission that the groups are indeed also concerned about prostitution in Denver as well. (Emphasis mine throughout).

Nevertheless, activist groups in both the Twin Cities and Denver, site of the Democratic National Convention, have been collaborating based on the idea that the conventions will give them a wider platform to spread their anti-prostitution message.

What would have been so difficult about the headline reading, Groups Predict Prostitution Spike at Political Conventions? No, the AP headline found it necessary to single out the RNC instead.

Additionally, the AP article cites the Minneapolis Star Tribune as the source of their information. The Star Tribune makes the following statement:

Nonetheless, activist groups have been meeting monthly in the Twin Cities since March developing a publicity strategy for the RNC. And local activists have been collaborating with a similar group in Denver.

Why would the author choose to make mention of concerns at both conventions so deep into the article? And why wouldn't the Denver Post, at the very least, add an addendum to the article indicating that there are alleged concerns right their in their own city?

The MSM had to rush this heavily biased piece out because of the crucial importance of the article. But, what of this is actually newsworthy?

Advocacy groups predict an increase in prostitution, yet police in both cities say they are mistaken based on research. According to the Star Tribune:

... police in both cities say that the groups are mistaken and that research indicates there will be no increase in the sex trade.

So the crux of the entire article is a baseless claim made by some groups making an assumption. That is the equivalent of running an article about people claiming the moon is made out of cheese, but scientists and astronauts dispute the validity of such a claim.

Not only is this work slanted toward an attack on the right, but it is simply not newsworthy.

According to many "liberals", the only thing wrong with prostitution, like drugs, is that it is not legal. Simply legalize it and all its "evils" will go away.

NEVER,NEVER trust a "liberal"

   Well yes the

somewhere there is an

somewhere there is an official MSM book that details how to edit or attach maximum negative Republican vibes to any possible news event whatsoever - and someone certainly pays for all this under the table, too - Soros perhaps?

Or maybe a clandestine international association of leftard celebrities pay for it - financed off shore to avoid the taxes they constantly demand, of course - so only Repubs pay them...

hmmmmmmm 

DNC semantics

At the Dem Convention such individuals are part of the Dem plan to provide employment to the homeless.

When they say "prostitutes",

When they say "prostitutes", does that include those who were elected? If so, then I'm sure "prostitution" is rampant at all political conventions.

Would that....

make Mike Duncan(RNC chair) and Howard Dean(DNC chair) pimps? 

I wonder who is more likely to smack their ho's around to keep em in line?

"I wonder who is more likely to smack their ho's around to keep em in line?"

That's easy, a Liberatarian. Wink, Wink.

Excuse me for a moment as I adjust my asbestos suit for better coverage.

silly NB

Don't you understand? Democrats don't pay for their prostitutes - they'll charge it to the city like they do everything else. It's only an issue when Republicans show up broke.

Bypass.....

No one will have to remind me to bypass Denver on my next trip west. Gas up before you get there and after you are far away. It'll take 25 years to clean up the diseases left behind by the politicians, much less the male hookers all male democrats hook up with. Guess they missed the latest HIV stats, a 10% spike after every democrat 'Messiah' rally.

 

Old, Retired and glad of it.

Funny I thought that the

Funny I thought that the people in the seats and on stage in Denver, were the prostitutes....

Go to OT, I am probably towards the bottom, I had the same problem for hours and hours ...I posted what it was doing, since I posted that I did figure out it was the only blog post doing it...as far as I know, nobody answered me either.

..and to think Motley would of had a lot more posts by now...

Yeah...there were a lot more posts in the comment section and everytime you would click them, it would either say log-in plus when I tried to post a couple of times it would say access denied...on and on it went for hours...

He really would of had a lot more posts...a lot of people were posting there..including us...lol...

Btw...I also noticed the didn't have the list of people posting column either..

<edit> Hey on top of that, the really weird thing it would do is go back hours earlier for the same comments in the posters who commented section, after you clicked the blog post on or commented...Hours of the same posts in the column.

Really way out there, like nothing I have ever seen.

Well, whatever it takes to distract the repubs from their...

Who knows? Perhaps this will slow the progression of their march, if only for a few days. :-)

prostitutes

I would say republicans and democrats love prostitutes equally. There is no one party that is better than the other when it comes to temptations of the flesh.

Real life video games are cool

Actually shawn...

I would put my money on Libertarians! 

Think about it.

And you two

Are clearly as expert on "being Libertarian" as I am about "being Republican." IOW, not so much. See my other comment for more, but let's just say that with Vitter still in-office this ain't the time to try to mock Libertarians, even in jest, because such attempts tend to backfire on parties filled with prostitution-hypocrites.

The tax & spend drug war looks racist in the real world.

CT

I would have to disagree. Libertarians want prostitution legalized  "which I totally agree with"  They freely admit is wrong for this archaic law to still be around.

I am saying that Dems are Republicans are equal in the sense that 

Democrats don't want to admit to seeing prostitutes, because they are ashamed for demoralizing a woman and be accussed of being sexist.

Republicans don't want to admit to seeing a prostitute because it is not good morals and don't want to look like a hypocrite for touting traditional values.

Real life video games are cool

Ct, if its Lara Logan, I'd say put your money on me. Oh, but...

...wait, I ain't goin' to the conventions, repub, dem, or otherwise.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The truth is insensitive. - Neal Boortz

I've done better than "think about it."

I've gone to an LP convention. Sorry, 0 prostitutes. Goose-egg.

Here's the truth, and it's gonna upset hypocrites of BOTH parties so I'm happy to re-tell it. Someone inteviewed ladies of the evening who'd "done" (ahem...) both "major" parties' conventions about the differences between Republicans & Democrats when it comes to paid sex.

Republicans were fine on the money and tips for the girls, but they tended to ask for the most kinky sexual acts possible (2+ girls at once, weird excretory acts, etc.). Such "moral, upstanding citizens." Democrats, on the other hand, generally wanted normal, vaginal sex but they were CONSTANTLY trying to pay less money to the girls than the Democrats owed. Such "men of the people." The girls must have rightly figured there was 0 market for paid sex at the LP conventions, because they simply didn't show up, even though they'd have been tolerated. IOW, "sorry, but you're wrong again about Libertarians." A better title for this blog might be "Republicans humiliate their prostitutes by asking for kinky sexual acts, but at least they're willing to pay for the service in full!"

Another interesting story would be to look at children brought to political conventions by Republicans & Democrats (I hereby predict spoiled brats & a variety of behavior problems) vs a bunch of homeschooled kids brought to LP conventions by Libertarian parents (I hereby predict great kids & 0 behavior problems, because I saw it for myself). This is one of those "bring it on" issues for me, and I'm confident in my predictions.

A reporter could easily pretend to be a cheap babysitter and "cover" all 3 conventions this way. I'm confident the resulting story, if reported honestly, would sound so good for Libertarian homeschoolers that some editor would probably kill it rather than effectively piss off most of his/her Democrat/Republican audience with the Libertarian kids' obvious greatness. :)

So, anyone care to guess...

So, anyone care to guess how many female reporters the AP is sending to the Twin Cities? I have no idea but I am curious.

Lara Logan no doubt!

Lara? I have more respect

Lara? I have more respect for prostitutes than cheap sluts. That's just me.

Well, the liberals will be there, ahh, protesting.

Dem Convention

Nevermind the prostitutes. The real question is will we get any good video from the dem convention al a Rob Lowe in Atlanta circa '88.

Cash only

Of course whores prefer Republicans, because, as a rule, they don't accept carbon credits as payment for services rendered.
