CDZ PORNGATE?

Looks like typical tit-for-tat politics, other than a generic reference "beleaguered" you failed to mention Kathleen Kane is indicted for lying to a grand jury then covering it up, of course this could have happened because she went after Gov Corbertt.
If you read the whole article it would seem every single one of them (yes her too) are guilty on multiple levels. Looks like both sides are involved in Tammany Hall style political corruption.
I did not mention Kane;'s indictment because I really didn't see that it had much to do with the irrefutable evidence that these people were misappropriating government computers for their own personal biased networking. Kane's legal woes add nothing to that reality nor does her indictment detract from it. Perhaps she is releasing those emails as a form of personal retribution but she didn't force the villains to transmit them to each other on state computers.
for lack of space, I just posted the information pertinent to my op and left a link for more discerning posters like your self. 'K?
 
Porngaate?



It not what you think but ...close. It's just those good ol boys having fun bonding with their hateful agendas again at everyone else's expense...



These good ol' boys aren't all just your average every day trailer park denizens or WALMART shoppers; included were some of the highest ranking government officials in the state of Pennsylvania.



So what did they do and how was it discovered? Lend me your ears:





By Natalie Pompilio December 26 at 7:31 PM

PHILADELPHIA — Over the past 15 months, beleaguered Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane has released a steady stream of messages retrieved from a state email server that show state officials and employees trading pornographic, racist and misogynistic messages.

There are jokes about rape and sexual assault, photos mocking African Americans and other minorities, and insults leveled at people because of their weight, their sexual orientation or their religion. At least two state Supreme Court justices and numerous officials in the office of the attorney general have been caught in the scandal that has been dubbed
“Porngate.”



The article goes on to describe some of the disgusting porn exchanged in those emails depicting various sex acts with racist, misogynistic and ant-Gay headings or labels.


Obviously, there was nothing "liberal" about this scandalous activity and it must have gone on for some time before the emails were "leaked" to a news reporter.


So who had access to the e-mail server that would be gutsy enough to leak this conservative skulduggery? You might have guessed... it was a democrat; none other Attorney General, Kathleen Kane.


The resultant scandal was all too predictable but has not evoked much outrage with state residents. Nevertheless, the revelations have resulted in the firing of at least 6 state employees and the resignation of a state Supreme Court Judge. Another justice will go before a judicial ethics board later this month on charges of misconduct. If found guilty, he too could be removed from the bench.


A Note worthy point in the article:


But beyond the graphic and insulting nature of the exchanges, a larger problem is the seemingly chummy relationships the emails reveal between prosecutors and judges, court watchers said.

“That’s what separates and elevates our system of justice over all others in the world. When we learn that they are so close they are exchanging horribly improper emails with each other, we lose faith not only in the independence of the judiciary but also the judgment of both parties,” said Marc Bookman, director of the Philadelphia-based Atlantic Center for Capital Representation.




For me, this expose` served to validate what many of us have been saying all along. Women, minorities and gays get shafted by the good ol' boy justice network more often than not. Not only was the sharing of those emails shockingly callous, the synergy of high court officials with lower tiered workers is reminiscent of "acceptable"derisive propaganda against the Jews that became an infectious standard in Nazi Germany. We know the end results all too well, don't we?

There is a difference between what people say and what people do. Is this all you have to validate your conspiracy theory ?
The emails are physical evidence and there is nothing conspiratorial about them. They are real. But if you are saying that you don't believe the e-mail scandal could be symptomatic of something that is akin to the Nazi's racist propaganda , just read this:

Obviously that study didn't have the desired effect and an undercurrent of racism still taints our justice system in Pennsylvania.
You can goggle nearly any state and find similar conduct..
 
I am dismayed but not surprised to find that there are highly placed individuals involved who have the sorts of views depicted. I think it's better than we have discovered the verity of such attitudes existing than it would be were the individuals' beliefs to have remained secret.

About the only thing going on in the matter that I think that must be addressed is those individuals' use of taxpayer resources and that they expressed the thoughts they did when they were supposed to have been performing the work of the state of PA. Unfortunately, social egalitarianism, good reason, and equitability aren't things that can be forced upon a person. That, however, is just my opinion with regard to the specific events and people you noted in your OP; I'm not a PA resident, so there's little else for me to say and nothing I can directly do about it.

Red: I agree, but tyranny by a majority CAN be forced upon a minority with impunity in a corrupt justice system that favors one group and disparages others. James Madison , our 4th President, Father of the Constitution and architect of the Bill of rights put it succinctly: "If [one] sect form a majority and have the power, other sects will be sure to be depressed."

John Stuart Mills went even further: "ike other tyrannies, the tyranny of the majority was at first, and is still vulgarly, held in dread, chiefly as operating through the acts of the public authorities. But reflecting persons perceived that when society is itself the tyrant — society collectively over the separate individuals who compose it — its means of tyrannizing are not restricted to the acts which it may do by the hands of its political functionaries. Society can and does execute its own mandates; and if it issues wrong mandates instead of right, or any mandates at all in things with which it ought not to meddle, it practices a social tyranny more formidable than many kinds of political oppression, since, though not usually upheld by such extreme penalties, it leaves fewer means of escape, penetrating much more deeply into the details of life, and enslaving the soul itself. Protection, therefore, against the tyranny of the magistrate is not enough; there needs protection also against the tyranny of the prevailing opinion and feeling, against the tendency of society to impose, by other means than civil penalties, its own ideas and practices as rules of conduct on those who dissent from them; to fetter the development and, if possible, prevent the formation of any individuality not in harmony with its ways, and compel all characters to fashion themselves upon the model of its own. There is a limit to the legitimate interference of collective opinion with individual independence; and to find that limit, and maintain it against encroachment, is as indispensable to a good condition of human affairs as protection against political despotism. — On Liberty, The Library of Liberal Arts edition, p.7."

Looking at the email scandal in light of Madison's and Mills' words the ramifications of the deeds are magnified against the context of apathy in the community that produced that environment.

Purple:

My intention increasing the op was to raise awareness of just how pervasive this kind of conduct is among right wing white males. regardless of party affiliation or geographical location. From killer cops ( not all cops) to surreptitious systemic crimes against minorities and women, a pattern of disdain for their civil liberties is all too evident...
Just review the race relations forum on ANY website to find a microcosm of the real world...including USMB!
No, I don't expect YOU to do anything about it just as the Jews didn't expect the average German to do anything about their plight. Fortunately ,for a few Jews, people like Schindler were ready to defy evil at their own peril.
