Katherin Harris's Dream Candidate

Hey Folks,

I take no satisfaction from Zachary Daubenmire’s present jeopardy. It’s sad really.

But as “Coach Dave” might say, quoting the Holy Book, “"And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation." Exodus 34:6-7

Yep, ol’ Coach Dave is a Looney Tune on a good’ol’boy jihad (er . . . he calls it a Crusade), and he's nuttier than a fruitcake. He got canned from his coaching (preaching??) job at London High School because he wouldn’t stop leading prayers. Now he runs “all over creation” spouting his retro, Christian-fascist line.

He ran for Ohio’s State School Board (God didn’t help him “win this one for the Dauber”) as the Constitution Party candidate. Check out their zany platform at: http://ohiocp.org/platform.php .

It says, among other things:

“We reject the notion that sexual offenders are deserving of legal favor or special protection, and affirm the rights of states and localities to proscribe offensive sexual behavior [they clearly aim this at gays whom they find "offensive"– I bet it doesn’t apply to coaches’ kids].”

and

“We recognize that parents have the fundamental right and responsibility to nurture, educate, and discipline their children”

Sounds good on paper, but do you think Coach Dave WILL be held responsible? Or was it secular humanism and the lure of eventually collecting Socialistic Security that turned the boy to sin??

Dave taught him to love Football and Jesus!! What more could he have done?

Anyway, here’s the story.

Crusader’s son faces child-porn charge

The son of conservative religious activist Dave Daubenmire has been charged with downloading child pornography onto a computer at the family's Licking County home.

Zachary Daubenmire, 24, was arrested Tuesday by sheriff's detectives and charged with pandering obscenity involving a minor, a felony punishable by two to eight years in prison.

A repair technician working on the Daubenmires' computer on Monday called authorities after finding digital videos showing girls having sex with men, said Capt. Chad Dennis.

The video files, marked "illegal," were found under Zachary Daubenmire's user profile on the computer and apparently were not viewed by anyone else, Dennis said.

The younger Daubenmire, who lives with his parents at their Thornville-area home, confessed during questioning that he downloaded the videos, according to a court affidavit. He was freed on bond after spending a night in jail.

After his arrest, Zachary Daubenmire was dismissed as a volunteer assistant football coach at Heath High School, said Ellis Booth, assistant principal and athletics director.

WBNS-10TV's Laura Cole reported that the younger Daubenmire was to start this fall as a special-education teacher at Licking Heights High School.

Zachary Daubenmire was a star quarterback at London High School, where he played for his father, and went on to play football at Kenyon College and Denison University.

His father, who founded Pass the Salt Ministries and Minutemen United, has fought pornography as part of his religious crusade.

In a statement, Dave and Michele Daubenmire wrote that they were thankful their son's "sin" was discovered and that "he no longer had to hide the rot in his soul."

"The wound has been exposed; he has come clean; we can finally help him get well."

The elder Daubenmire gained national attention in 1999 when the American Civil Liberties Union sued the London school district to halt the coach's tradition of leading his team in prayer.
