Over the past year, Mike Judge, a Simi Valley, California councilman, has posted links on his Facebook page to some offensive and racy websites. Very un-Simi-like of him. I taught in the Simi Valley school district for well over a decade, and it is a very conservative bedroom community. In fact, Simi and the porn industry have publicly clashed for some time now, including over the requirement that porn actors use condoms.

Did I mention that Mike Judge is an outspoken tea partier?

The pages he “liked” included “Fap Fap Fap” and “Big Fake Titties, Guns and other Manly Shit That Will Piss Your Girlfriend Off” (a page which, incidentally, has called Senator Feinstein a “moldy old c***”).

Judge’s own Facebook page is not set to private, so anyone can see what his, erm, preferences are.

Awhile back, the Simi Valley Acorn, a local paper out here in Ventura County, called him out because a minor stumbled across his Facebook page. He promised he would be “more careful” in the future.

Of course he would, because tea party members are fine, upstanding, honest, patriotic, family values citizens. And what did this fine, upstanding, honest, patriotic, family values tea partier do? Why he proceeded to post a video of a woman being beheaded with a pocketknife by drug cartel executioners.

The video came from BestGore.com, a torture and mutilation site that is also extremely anti-Semitic (they named Adolf Hitler as the greatest man of the 20th century). People are now want Judge to resign. Can’t for the life of me imagine why.

Via the Los Angeles Times:

But on Tuesday the Ventura County Democratic Party called for the Simi Valley Republican councilman’s resignation and censure after Judge linked to a graphic video of a woman being decapitated with a pocket knife. David Atkins, chair of the county Democratic Party, said the video appeared to depict a Mexican cartel murder.

“I started watching 10, 15 seconds of it before I clicked away. I’d seen enough,” he said. “When a councilman is a public figure and he starts sharing disturbing content like that from a website that’s basically torture porn … that’s a problem because people follow what he ‘likes.’ ” [...]

Atkins said the beheading video, which has been removed from Judge’s Facebook page, came from a website that features violent deaths, including executions, suicides and gruesome car wrecks.

But fine, upstanding, honest, patriotic, family values Councilman Judge then said, hey, this was all part of his police work, even though the crime wasn’t committed in the United States, and he never asked for help identifying the perpetrators when he posted it.

L.A. Times:

The nearly 23-year veteran of the LAPD said he didn’t go “trolling” for the pages, but that he “liked” them after male friends whom he described as being in the “alpha category” shared them with him.

Apprently Judge is also a fine, upstanding, honest, patriotic, family values, “alpha category” guy.

Here is The Acorn’s story describing how he was “called out not for his political views or votes but for his online profile—specifically, the types of pages he “likes” on Facebook, some of which contain scantily clad women in suggestive poses.”

According to The Acorn, an anonymous emailer who identified herself as “Simi Mother” had notified the local media, the city manager and city attorney, and the City Council—but not Judge, who is serving as mayor pro tem. She said, among other things, “He’s brought his private bedroom behavior to our bedroom community.” Per The Acorn:

[She] called out seven pages in particular, via screen shots of those pages attached to the email: Fap Fap Fap, Tactical Girls, Hot Chicks With Abs, Models Universe, Hot Mirror Shots and The Cougar Club. The other page name is not suitable for print; the page posts revealing photos of women, focusing on two body parts in particular.

The Acorn reached Judge, who said, sure, he “liked” the pages but sees them differently than “Simi Mother,” saying,

“There’s no porn on my Facebook. I know what pornography is, and I don’t consider any of that pornography… I have a lot of friends in the military, a lot of friends in law enforcement, so I get a lot of these things. Some people might find them distasteful, some might find them funny, that’s the way it is. I also post a lot of puppy pictures.”

Awww, puppy pictures! See? He’s not so bad after all.

He also said that the woman complaining was out to get him. He has “unliked” several pages.

Republican War on Women? Naaah. Family values? Yeah, right. Pro-Life? I retort, you deride.

Another day, another GOP hypocrite.
