Huffington Post: How Sex Magazines Made the World a Better Place
Of course, remember, "another group that has benefitted from key freedom of speech court decisions is the Ku Klux Klan" ...which is a brilliant logical torpedo, akin to "you're a bipedal carbon based life form that wears pants.. you know who was another bipedal carbon-based life form who wore pants? HITLER!"

Like, when porn was verboten but lynchings were wholesome entertinment.
The whole narrative is predicated upon the idea that "ooooh, things are sooo awful now, and getting WORSE!" except, theyre not.
Stupid, clearly misogynist slurs against the likes of Hillary Clinton are taken, totally without evidence, as evidence of the deleterious effects of "pornification".. Because, you know, all those many times that women were serious presidential contenders in the 1950s, (back when FILTH was CENSORED as it SHOULD BEEEEEEEE!!!!!!) or Secretary of State, you know, that never happened.
... 
Meanwhile, society gets more progressive by every social yardstick. And violent crime is down. Free communication, including widespread availability of consenting adult erotica on the internet, hasn't led to the collapse of civilization or anything else- much to the chagrin of the bawling censorship babies, banging their plastic spoons on their high chairs, and shrieking into their porridge over their complete inability to tell the rest of us how to live our lives.
Guess which juror I was?
AUTOMATED MESSAGE: Results of your Jury Service
At Thu Jun 14, 2012, 07:53 AM an alert was sent on the following post:
And along with the hand wringing, there is pining for "the good old days"
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1114&pid=1504
REASON FOR ALERT:
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/? com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards</a>.)
ALERTER'S COMMENTS:
This pic was used by some DUers to ridicule and belittle other DUers during the primaries before the 2008 election. At that time, it was alerted on and often hidden, due to the nastiness, since some would like to keep such ugly behavior aimed at conservatives and republicans, and restrict such behavior when its intended to slam DUers. I am alerting in the hope that that spirit of reserving such levels of hostility for people who aren't fellow DUers.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu Jun 14, 2012, 08:05 AM, and the Jury voted 0-6 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Yaaayyyy! I get to adjudicate a porn patrol alert. I couldn't agree more with the post and less with the alert. Guess who this is? Hint - he has you all on ignore. Bwahahahaha 
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Frivolous alert, and I believe the alert had more to do with Warren's post than the picture.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Well written post, I like it. Use of crying baby picture is not nasty or OTT.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
I'm a woman, and completely agree with Warren's post.

On edit - Before you ask, or just flat out falsely accuse, nope, I was NOT the alerter.
Whatever indeed.
Okay, well done, Kojak.
If you REALLY want to prove me wrong, get cracking on finding the posts on DU where that photo was used to ridicule people for... what, I don't remember.
But either way, the logic of the alert is like this:
Say someone used this image to make fun of someone once, here, and the post was hidden:
So therefore ANY post using that image to say anything, about anything, should ALSO be hidden.
It's faulty logic, but then, that never seems to stop some people.
And now, that post can't be hidden by a better-crafted alert. Oh, well.
Even got the moon, in there!
I took a look at what might have prompted you to start this thread, and I noticed her pics weren't posted and all the other ones at the OP's link were (all supposed examples of the "pornification" of politics, whatever the hell that means, sounds RW to me))..hmm..I'll rectify the situation:
Ah, Obama girl.
Wow. 
And I love everyone! Everyone!
