Superbowl Sex Slaves * Open Thread

Memo to Senators.  Do not bother READING bills, even if they are pertaining to international binding treaties.  I urge the US Senate to read START, from the beginning, before voting.

http://www.state.gov/www/global/arms/starthtm/start/start1.html

Then read the new provisions and ask yourself this:  Are we doing a heatlh care bill thing here and voting on something that looks good on the outside, without looking at the details in the inside?

A congress too lazy to read is a dangerous group.

It isn’t even lazy. It’s corruption. These lawmakers are just PR people in the local home districts for the corporate lobbyists the lawmakers actually represent. Really, it’s just to make us feel touchy feely that somebody cares. Like hell. Nobody gives a rat’s ass about regular people.

This is a very serious issue, and I believe that anyone who knowingly or inadvertently contributes to this outrage, even if they’re just providing a forum for ‘sex slave’ advertising, should either be prosecuted or widely shamed and exposed.

However, smearing the Super Bowl by baselessly conflating it with sex slaves is almost as unconscionable. First, where is the evidence that supports this ridiculous expectation, ”and to do it before February, when activists expect a spike in sex trafficking around the Super Bowl. ” ? Are there statistics that show this to be the case? And Bronwyn, how the hell did you expand a rather subjective and speculative “expectation” into  “In the week ahead of the Super Bowl, thousands of innocent girls will be forcibly taken to Dallas, Texas to be sold for sex.”? Your contempt for the Super Bowl is obvious, but isn’t this level of unsubstantiated Super Bowl inspired sexual Armageddon a little much? Aren’t you aware that few ‘pimps’ would ever risk violating the Mann Act by transporting girls across state lines? Don’t you think there are enough ‘Johns’ in their local markets that would obviate the needless expense of transporting prostitutes hundreds of miles? Maybe you should ask your pal Spitzer if he needed to go all the way to Dallas for a trick. Aren’t you rather insultingly implying that Super Bowl attendees are more sexually depraved than any other large sports crowd, or any other large gathering for that matter? Your statement is borderline libelous.

This reminds me of the malicious urban myth of increased domestic violence during Super Bowl weekend. It was a complete falsehood that spread like wildfire among the perpetually peeved feminists of the day. Few questioned the veracity of the story, so it slid seamlessly into the pantheon of urban myths, but there was never any evidence that it was true. Researchers looking for the provenance of the story traced it back to a single article written by a journalist who made the thing up out of thin air, there were no studies or proof to back up the disgusting accusation. Yet, to this day, I still hear “Did you know that there’s an increase of domestic violence during the Super Bowl?” from people who never bother to get their facts straight.

Don’t start a new, “Did you know there’s a roving band of underage sex slaves who follow the Super Bowl around?” type of malicious rumor, Bronwyn, you don’t need to disparage the very “American” institution of the Super Bowl to draw attention to a very serious, but unrelated, outrage. How contemptible to use the backdrop of the Super Bowl to advertise an horrific subject that has NOTHING to do with football and it’s fans! 

Onofre.  I agree with you.  There are more sex sales at a political convention than you would ever expect at a sports event.  One is full of ugly men and women looking to taste power.  The other is one full of beer and women gawking at tight butts holding a long ball.

 “In the week ahead of the Super Bowl, thousands of innocent girls will be forcibly taken to Dallas, Texas to be sold for sex.”?
Are there statistics that show this to be the case?
I agree I would need to see the details in black and white that this horrendous act could actually be associated with the “Super Bowl” and the people attending to the degree outlined, above… I simply cannot get my mind around that most sporting events here in the States, are family orientated, more so than any other country. It is mind-blowing to think this act could be going on that thousands of innocent girls will be forcibly taken to Dallas, Texas to be sold for sex. This screams to me there are as many family guys, simply going off to Dallas, to have sex with underage girls.
I would need to see the statistics.

I would need to see the statistics to believe there is a connection.

That is the most undocumented crazy bullshit I have ever read on the Internet:

A crisis is just around the corner: Super Bowl XLV on February 6, 2011 — prime time for selling sex with underage girls! In the week ahead of the Super Bowl, thousands of innocent girls will be forcibly taken to Dallas, Texas to be sold for sex.

Harbor Master, please.  You can call me on my magicjack for calling you out on this, my dear.  But I think your statement above is worse than saying that the moon is falling because Obama is a Kenesian.

Hoo Ha, I saw this on Drudge today also, and my first thought was, “Well, now I’ve got to learn how to yodel”. I could set up a mobile Barbecue in front of the Ground Zero Mosque and call it “Onofre’s Arm’s Yodeling Piggy Strut Soul Pit Barbecue”, my God I’d rake it in!

This is where your type of baseless hyperbole can lead Bronwyn:

http://marriage.about.com/od/domesticviolence/a/superbowl.htm

“Quick Retraction by Media But Super Bowl Myth ContinuesOn January 31, 1993, when Ken Ringle of The Washington Post questioned the information mentioned in the press release, other news media quickly retracted their articles covering the domestic violence story.
The damage was done. The myth continues and Super Bowl Sunday is still sometimes referred to as Bloody Sunday, Abuse Bowl, a Day of Dread, and the Most Dangerous Day in America.”

“Dr. Richard Gelles: “There never was a study that found that Super Bowl Sunday was the day with the most violence toward women or the most hospital admissions for domestic violence. This kind of ‘urban legend’ trivializes the causes and consequences of domestic violence.” 

Did you get that? The urban myth actually trivializes the causes of domestic violence, in the precise way you’ve trivialized sex slaves by falsely linking them to the Super Bowl

Maybe Slim Whitman is our secret weapon for radical Muslims:

Hey, it worked on Martians, it’a worth a try.

It’s both.
I go back to That One’s state sen

It’s both. Go back to That One’s state senate “career”. It wasn’t until the senate president, Emil Jones, added  Obama’s name to a bunch of legislation  to inflate his work record. When Sen Boxer was campaigning last cycle, most legislation she referred to when talking about the state was authored by Feinstein. Boxer just signed on.  
 
Yep, lazy and corrupt.

Thanks, Onofre’s arm, for the link.

Nancy Pelosi could not be reached for comment.

Tea partiers should be
boiling at $1.1 trillion bill
 
Atlanta Journal-Constitution,
by Kyle Wingfield   

Original Article

12/16/2010

We’re in need of some fresh, hot tea, and not just because it’s been so cold outside. Senate Democrats — and some Republican accomplices — want to defy the will of the voters and have one last big-government hurrah. If there was ever a moment for tea partiers to prove to everyone that they’re not going away, this is it. The immediate threat is a $1.1 trillion spending bill, with some 6,500 earmarks in its nearly 2,000 pages, which Senate Democrats suddenly unveiled Tuesday and want to pass ASAP.

(Snip) It is a budget-busting, debt-inducing, written-in-the-dark and rammed-through-before-daylight bill.

Middle-Class Hypocrites
 
American Thinker,
by Larrey Anderson   

Original Article

12/16/2010

The most dangerous of hypocrites come from the middle class. These are the middle-class “intellectuals” who openly despise other members of the bourgeoisie. They are ubiquitous in academia, the arts, and in much of the mainstream media. They are smugly satisfied to bite the cultural hand that feeds them — a hand that rarely retaliates. The Tea Parties have begun the arduous process of taking back one portion of our society, the state, from the pseudo-intellectuals who have overwhelmed our political ranks.

If the next Congress won’t defund all of this and start rolling back the marxism, then why keep voting? It would make more sense to secede from the Union…..

One Last Disgrace

National Review Online,
by Editors   

Original Article

12/16/2010

The 1,924-page omnibus spending bill unveiled yesterday by Senate Democrats is the legislative equivalent of a middle finger, one that reminds us of how richly the Democrats deserved the shellacking visited upon them on Election Day. Rather than pass a simple “continuing resolution” to fund government operations through early 2011, Harry Reid & Co. decided to ignore the backlash against fiscal profligacy and let their pork barons run wild. The result is an orgy of earmarks, rolled out two weeks after most Senate Republicans and seven Senate Democrats voted for a temporary earmark moratorium.

Like Dogs to Vomit, Media Matters
Cleans Up Liberal Media Messes

Just like dogs that merrily slurp vomit to the last chunk, bloggers at the Democratic party front group and Soros-funded Media Matters for America follow behind liberal media outlets, lapping up their latest noxious dousing of conservatives. Then with a satisfied smirk, Media Matters gloats “what vomit?” when conservatives complain about being puked on by the press. The latest example of Media Matters’ vomit fetish is their defense of the attempted smear of Sarah Palin during her humanitarian trip to Haiti last weekend by the Associated Press and others as a hair-obsessed diva.

Government May Shut Down Amid
Standoff on Pork-Filled
Spending Bill
 
Fox News,
by Staff   

Original Article

12/15/2010

A government shutdown looms as Congress risks missing a key deadline this weekend over the battle in the Senate on a massive 2,000-page catchall spending bill that Republicans have vowed to oppose unless they can strip it of earmarks. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is expected Thursday to take up the $1.27 trillion omnibus spending bill that would fund the government through the end of the fiscal year, to Sept. 30. But Republicans have threatened to stall debate by forcing the 1,924-page bill to be read aloud in the Senate — a move that would take 35 to 40 hours….

I will agree with those of you who are bothered by the implied Superbowl hyperbole and hysteria. Actually when I first read that, I laughed, because it was so over the top.

In reality the sex trade goes on everywhere, all the time, right in our neighborhoods. The vast majority of prostitutes are underage girls or began as underage girls. Prostitution increases during the RNC or the DNC or sporting events or business conventions or spring break or anytime there is an increased number of people in any given area.

It’s still a good article and action item from TNA, it’s just that the sex trade goes on 365 days a year in our own neighborhoods with or without the Superbowl.

New Radio Copps? The FCC commissioner supports troubling new regulations on the airwavesThursday, December 16, 2010  National Review ^‘What we have had in recent years is an aberration in which we’ve had no oversight of media.” So says FCC commissioner Michael Copps, who is now advocating the institution of a quadrennial “public-value test” for broadcasters. If he gets his way, stations across the country could be put on probation, and subsequently denied FCC licensing, for failure to meet a broad set of criteria involving local coverage, percentage of resources devoted to news, and several kinds of disclosure. Speaking to Betty Kays of the BBC’s World News America, Copps, a Democrat, explained his reasoning. Journalism is, he said, in…

Twenty-nine Republican senators wrote to Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Julius Genachowski this week to oppose his proposal to regulate Internet lines. The letter is signed by Sens. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.), Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.) and 27 others. They urged Genachowski to abandon his effort.

“This is an unjustified and unnecessary expansion of government control over private enterprise,” the letter says.

According to TVByTheNumbers.com, the self-proclaimed most trusted name in news’s prime time ratings this year are the lowest since at least 1997:CNN’s woes worsened this year. Despite the somewhat bogus total reach-touting, the network hit primetime ratings lows (or at least going back to 1997, which is all we could dig up data for) for total viewers and viewers 25-54. A look at Tuesday’s prime time numbers should give you an idea of just how terribly this cable network is doing.

The division encourages venison donations through a partnership with Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry.

FROM HILLBUZZ:

balthazar9 Says:
And look who Cleaver wants to be in charge of this $48-billion dollar reparations bundle…

Cleaver, if you recall, was the chief accuser of the Tea Party. He falsely claimed that they had called him “n!gger” and spat on him when Pelosi led her jubulant fellow congress-people through the Tea Party demonstration after the passage of obamacare. When, after careful study of the video evidence, it was proven that he was no where near where he had said he was, and that it couldn’t have possibly happened, he backed down…of course, no apology was issued.

Scarborough Says ‘Judge Not’ . . . Then Calls Kyl And DeMint ‘Un-Christlike’Call it an episode of Short Self-Attention Span Theater . . .  
 
Mere moments after citing Matthew 7′s instruction to “judge not, that ye be not judged,” Joe Scarborough judged Jon Kyl and Jim DeMint to be “un-Christlike.”  
Scarborough’s strange self-contradiction came in the course of his diatribe against the two Republican senators for having criticized Harry Reid for threatening to keep the Senate in session through Christmas.  
Read more plus video!  

The logic here is a bit of a jump.  I have worked 14 Super Bowl weeks in Super Bowl cities (not going to be able to do it this year).  And yes, Super Bowl week is a an orgy of corporate excess.  And yes,  entertainers  (prostitutes, escorts, strippers etc.) are brought in from all over the country to keep up with the demand.

However,  I find it unlikely  that there will be a spike in underage girls being brought in to the mix.  This is behavior that those who partake in it want to keep hidden from everyone and even those corporate arrangers trying to keep clients happy shy away from such practices.  There are certain things law enforcement turns a bline eye to and others they don’t and big money corps won’t mess with that.

This is unbelievable.

Btw, why did this process start in the Senate? I thought the House is in charge of initiating spending bills.

Judicial idiocy, criminal tone-deafness and PC run amok combine to create one of the craziest things I’ve ever heard of. Yodelling sounds NOTHING like the call to prayer. Since when could ANY Austrian (I’m assuming the judge was Austrian) be so unmusical? Is “The Sound of Music” a complete myth? 

Honestly, this ridiculous bowing and scraping before insanely thin-skinned Islamists has got to stop.

Bronwyn, if you have any integrity at all, you’ll change the title of this article since you offer ZERO actual evidence that there’s a significant link between the Super Bowl and sex slaves. The title is outrageously defamatory. It has the same tawdry tenor of an old National Inquirer headline, it wreaks of petty sensationalism, and it makes you sound like an irrational loony.

Sex Trafficking in Sports Events:Super Bowl 2011:According to the media hype There was supposed to be hundreds of thousands of under age child sex slaves kidnapped and forced to have sex with super bowl fans. At the Dallas Super Bowl 2011.WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL OF THEM?????WHERE ARE THE THOUSANDS OF SUPER BOWL KIDNAPPED  FORCED CHILD SEX SLAVES???????Politicians, women’s groups, police and child advocates were predicting that up to 100,000 hookers would be shipped into Dallas for the Super Bowl.It was all a big lie told by Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, government officials, and various anti-prostitution groups: Traffick911, Not for Sale, Change-org, Future Not A Past, Polaris Project, Salvation Army, Women’s Funding Network, and the Dallas Women’s Foundation,  which are anti-prostitution groups that tell lies in order to get grant money from the government and charities to pay their high salaries, and get huge amounts of money into their organizations.  As proved in the links below:
Top FBI agent in Dallas (Robert Casey Jr.) sees no evidence of expected spike in child sex trafficking:“Among those preparations was an initiative to prevent an expected rise in sex trafficking and child prostitution surrounding the Super Bowl. But Robert Casey Jr., special agent in charge of the FBI’s Dallas office, said he saw no evidence that the increase would happen, nor that it did.“In my opinion, the Super Bowl does not create a spike in those crimes,” he said. “The discussion gets very vague and general. People mixed up child prostitution with the term human trafficking, which are different things, and then there is just plain old prostitution.”
