Republicans have a Nazi porn problem, again. Virginia Republican lieutenant governor nominee John Reid is facing mounting political pressure after a report tied him to a Tumblr blog that reposted Nazi-themed pornography and violent sexual content. The allegations, which Reid has denied, have fueled fresh calls for his withdrawal from the race.

    Reid’s longtime partner, Alonzo Mable, is Black.

    If they’re into race play, that’s weird but none of our business. Judge not lest ye be judged for the porn that you like.

        Yup. He’s got a right to do that. Doesn’t make him a great candidate, though.

            Me either. He’s not my candidate, since I don’t live in VA, but if I did, he would not have my vote.

            He still has the right to share Nazi porn.

      Some of the stuff that people are into can tell us about what they’re like as people. Fetishizing nazis and white power shit, that’s not just a fetish, that shit’s a lifestyle, and I’m pretty sure that that carries over into a person’s actual political opinions and attitudes. But, it might not be him. That’s always a possibility. I’d like some proof that it was.

      It also appears the entirety of the evidence the Tumblr account is his is the username being the same. That’s interesting, but not conclusive.
