1. Only Cenk could take an incident this vile and find it amusing. Are you appealing to a whole new demographic here, People who rape children? Is this your idea of identifying with the struggle and getting street cred with the brothers? You make me sick. Only a guy with high priced lawyers could drag this out 6 years.

3. Listening to The Back Street Boys is a bigger crime than an adult urinating on a 13 year old girl??? Is this an example of what hip, cool, idealistic Obama supporters consider humorous?

5. Cenk

One time your putting a accused Rapist in jail without hearing a speck of evidence, now your making light over a Rap singer having sex with a 13 yr old.

Cenk, as usual never presents all the facts when he reports a story. Now I am getting it, maybe besides extremely political in his stories, he is also lazy.

Kelly, CenK does not report, was briefly marries to a 15 yr old girl. In 2003 Kelly was arrested in Florida an 14 cts of child pornography. That the jury will never hear, but your readers should not have to look up the story to get all the facts before they make comments on your stories.

Then Cenk makes jokes and fun of a 13 yr old girl being raped by Kelley, and of Kelly 's very possible innocence in Cenk's view, but not to long ago Cenk had an a man/men convicted of rape of a fellow employee in Iraq, solely on the grounds that he was a Helliburton employee. There was no evidence presented in a court, yet Cenk had these people already in jail.

Cenk-you do have a strange sense of humor.

Ana,

Where do you get those lovely dresses?

Maybe it's not the dress?

7. In the event Kelly is convicted can we assume Cenk and the rest of TYT will offer an apology for making light of this situation?

The complete lack of insight into political issues, while annoying, is to be expected from a cut-rate pundit.

This particular item is really cutting it close in terms of offensive content.

8. Guys, get a life. It is not 'rape' to have consensual sex with a young girl, period and done with.

You guys are trying to stretch the definition of rape to a place where it does NOT belong. Frankly, statutory rape is not rape and should be repealed.
Child sexual abuse is not really a crime (any child who doesn't want a sexual relationship with an adult is VERY able to tell them so, as I did, yea and nay, when I was a child).

Simply put, it is time to stop pushing your Puritanical sexual morality on children, teenagers, and adults who don't find other adults attractive.
You tried that shit with the adults who had sex with other adults outside of marriage. You tried it with homosexuals...... it's about time to realize that you are using pedosexuals as a 'boogie man' in order to get people to give up their rights.

Now, do we have to protect children from people who want to force them into sex? Yes, but the funny thing about that: most of THEM are created by the very laws that we say are supposed to be protecting children today, by sexually frustrating them to the point where they go INSANE.

9. Finally, Cenk, someone who sees eye-to-eye with you.

Cenk, meet Christopher.

10. From a website of approximately equal or slightly higher reliability than this one:

"In a close examination of the video, experts located a visible mole on the man's back, which is in the same place and looks awfully similar to the one on R. Kelly's back in photos taken after his initial arrest. In another blow for the defense, an FBI expert testified that the video was not doctored or computer generated to make the man in the tape look like R. Kelly, which would be an expensive extra-curricular project. Bet R. Kelly wishes he was trapped in the closet now."

Are you still finding this funny, Cenk?

11. R.Kelly is innocent. He'S BEING FRAMED!!! Can't a brother live in peace? People are tryna make it a matter of guilty until proved innocent. Like that song goes..Kelly, Jigga not guilty!! This guy is legendary, the pied piper of RnB. ya'll better ask somebody...

12. The girl that they said was in the tape said it wasn't her, so why are they trying him without a victim.
