Default The Penn State Gay Sex Scandal -WTF!!!!

In an article on Counter Punch today, Alexander Cockburn wrote these words:

“Cain’s final bit of bad luck has been to have his harassment charges sitting cheek to cheek on the front pages and in the newscasts with gross details of the gay sex scandal at Penn State.”

I sent an email telling him how offensive and disturbing it was to read that he is equating child sexual abuse with gay sex.

Just some background: Alexander Cockburn, together with Jeffrey St. Clair, edits the political newsletter CounterPunch. Cockburn also writes the "Beat the Devil" column for The Nation and a weekly syndicated column for the Los Angeles Times as well as for The First Post.

His email is alexandercockburn@asis.com if anyone would like to explain the difference between pedophilia and gay sex.

Here is a link to the article which was, by the way, not at all about the child sexual abuse scandal at Penn State.
