Michael Centanni was a conservative fundraiser and C.O.O of Base Connect, one of the many scam-PACs that would raise money for conservatives but retain most of the money for themselves. Even though they get cents on the dollar, no one objects because their mailers generally push the conservative message and voter persuasion. So, you already know he is sleazy. He is also a convicted child pornographer.
I am afraid you will have to read the details in the linked articles because it turns my stomach. Suffice it to say, they found over 3000 child sexual exploitation images and videos and many were in his bedroom with a child of about 5. There is other descriptions of toddlers being sexually abused.
As one would expect, he was publicly someone who ranted and raved about liberals normalizing pedophilia and incest. His license plate read “Children First.”
Centanni was on the board of the conservative youth group Young Americans for Freedom, and his specialty license plate reads “Children First.”
Many of Centenni’s Facebook postings before his Oct. 30 arrest concerned pedophilia and incest, always from a religious conservative viewpoint.
Linking to a Huffington Post article discussing incest two weeks before his arrest, Centanni wrote that “the last time relations between close relatives was condoned was after the flood as far as I know.”
A week earlier, he linked to a column in the New York Times headlined “Pedophilia: A Disorder, Not a Crime.”
“So here we see the seeds of normalization,” he wrote. “Forty years ago, this article was written and the term pedophile and related terms [were] instead homosexual.”
In a posting about sex education, he wrote “they have an agenda to remove all morality … why do we insist on making it nothing more than a base biological function whose mercy we are helpless to resist.”
In one post titled “Dear Kids: Why Wait till Marriage,” he condemned “horrible shows like Glee and role models like Miley Cyrus” as causing children to have sex too soon.
He also condemned provocative clothing, including “shorts that have messages on the backside.”
“I want my daughters to have the strength to say no to people who will want them to do things they know are wrong.”
He linked to an article in a conservative publication saying Planned Parenthood advised a “pimp” on underage sex trafficking.
Centanni’s Facebook page also describes him meeting with former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and pictures him meeting with Sharron Angle, who lost a 2010 race against Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in Nevada.
