It's Ok What Hastert Did Because He Is A Republican. Fox Says So.

Ultimately if you are a GOPPER you can do things that the Dems cannot. Hell a Dem can't even blow his or her nose without a scandal. The media lets the GOP off the hook almost all the time. Hastert may be scum but the scum in the GOP support him because he is NOT a libby Democrat.

And it is more than just Hastert who gets a pass. He has already done all the damage he could do when he was in power. No one questioned him then. Look at all the Dems who have left office for pretty much inconsequential deeds.

What is really sick is all the people who know Hastert are pissed at the victims for going public. They believe that Hastert is the victim and the victims were the ones who screwed him.

The double standard is so unfair and sick.

And The Franklin Scandal by Nick Bryant. These are what should be read. Ex-CIA Director, William Colby, wrote the preface implicating Dick Cheney in the occult and pedophilia.

Conspiracy Of Silence was a BBC documentary yanked at the last second as was a front page Washington Times article in 1989 implicating Bush Sr in pedophile scandal. Even some idiotic DUers chastised these as discredited which is an absolute lie. In fact, the BBC story has totally been vindicated by recent revelations with the whole Jimmy Saville debacle.

Extortion is a crime in which one person forces another person to do something against his will, generally to give up money or other property, by threat of violence, property damwge, damage to the person's reputatin, or extreme financial hardship. Extortion involves the victim's consent to the crime, but that consent is obtained illegaly. Black mail is the same. The giving of the money in large sums is what has brought this to light.

In no way shape or form do I condone the sexual abuse of minors but to extort or black mail is also a crime.

That usually gets a "10" score on Fox.

By the way, a new supermarket tabloid, The National Examiner is again running the Vince Foster story on its front page. Apparently, they are saying that Hillary Clinton murdered her lover Vince Foster, rolled him up in a rug to remove the body from the White House and buried it in an unmarked grave. How long before Fox News runs with that old chestnut again?
