have to.
It's incredible that these people didn't have a clue as to Foley's orientation, and they claim to be politically savvy, and initially, NO ONE piped up to say "Uhhhh, guess what, folks?" It suggests they are not as connected to DC as they like to claim, or they are so invested in their bullshit that truth is not just a casualty, it's the first casualty. You didn't have to work on the HILL to know that Foley was hiding behind the winter coats in the closet. EVERYONE knew it. If you look at some of the interviews on TV, you hear Scarborough, Matthews, all of the talking heads, former legislators, and so forth, admitting the obvious, that they KNEW he was gay (and didn't report it, sorta like FDR, IKE, and JFK infidelities that went unreported--a big club, that DC environment, where ya don't fink on the membership to the great unwashed in middle America).
The other thing that disturbs me is the GLEEFUL CHORTLING that this whole business was yet another Rove operation--there are more than a few posts calling the fucker a 'magnificent bastard'....and they not only don't have a problem with "dirty tricks" politics, they are thrilled by the prospect of it. Pretty damn disgusting, that. I didn't know there were that many genuinely ignorant people who actually had an interest in politics.
And then, there's projection--a cadre insists that the whole mess was a Democratic dirty trick gone awry. A failed "OCTOBER Surprise!!" The dimwits are not even good at Dirty Tricks anymore...this was payback for what Newt and the GOP did to Jim Wright... I mean, come on...what does the party that supports equal rights GAIN by trashing the guy? It convolutes and smears the equal rights message amongst people who don't do nuance. And a few idiots demand that Pelosi resign over the matter!
:rofl:
What also amused was the side debate on whether or not Drudge is gay!! Some insist, angrily, that he isn't (another evil Dem rumor, they aver)...uh, do bears shit in the woods? But here's a bit of proof one of them offered (I busted a gut laughing): I had read that Drudge and Ann Coulter date.
:rofl:
Ah, but wait, there's more. A few of the nitwits actually tried to revive FONTGATE!!! The quality of the IMs on ABC's website...If they were real IMs, the names would be red/blue. Additionally, the name MAF54 was bold; the text was bold. The reply called Teen was in regular font and the text was in regular font...I hope there's some way to reinstate this innocent man: Foley.... This whole this is to ABC as the forged National Guard papers was to CBS. Now there's some incredible stupidity. :rofl:
Then they flail about for yet another excuse: Blame the VICTIMS!!! I think it's looking like the pages were preying on a gay Congressman, not the other way around....My prayers for Congressman Foley, and yes, Jordan, too: Ya got used by some plug-ugly creeps...I think this Edmund kid may be looking at some serious legal trouble. I'm thinking of the blackmail variety.....he has interferred with a US election -- hope they nail him to the wall.....Punk kid gets his info from Berkley Profs. He set up Foley and almost Hasert. He needs to be sent to jail!...If you met this kid, you would say that he has it coming to him. He is no naive kid and in fact quite unlikeable because of the arrogance. I would bet he would do any dirty trick if he thought it benefited him....
Of course, they quote one of the page's MySpace comments in detail, AND post his picture, just to give the rabid crowd an object for their ire.
:wtf:
When that doesn't work, BLAME A STAFFER!!! Foley's chief of staff that just resigned from another Congressman's office probably knew Foley's AOL e-mail address and probably guessed the password or was given it. It will be interesting to see if there is a connection between him and Edmund or Englander.......did Kirk use Foley's AOL account himself to chat with Edmund? Did Kirk use Foley's e-mail account to chat up with other pages? Was this a conspiracy among staffers and pages to blackmail their bosses....
:wtf:
And then, when all else fails, shout TERRA TERRA TERRA or claim a crime was committed by the victims: The story will become how a teenage page playing a high school prank almost brought down the United States government during a time of war....So does the prank constitute as a gay bashing hate crime against Foley? ....
:cry:
And why does Faux have such lousy coverage? Fox is checking into things before they switch the reporting. They've probably put any reporting on it on hold for now.....Sheppard Smith makes me MUTE my t.v for two hours a day. He is a liberal hack who hates conservatives.
:cry:
The distancing begins--Foley was once a DEMOCRAT! Foley was a Dhimmicrat until he discovered that it wasn't getting him elected. Then he switched parties.
The Republicans are portrayed as VICTIMS, as if they haven't had the majority for how the fuck long? However, just like how the Democrats are the proverbial scorpion, the Republicans are also the proverbial frog, and I fear that it's just their nature to allow themselves to get stung. Again, and again, and again. I really hope that they start fighting back this time. This attack cannot be allowed to stand.....It was a poor attempt by the libs to get Hasert... I don't believe Jordan Edmund from Hawaii and Berkeley is a conservative Republican. ....
:nopity:
Then, the light begins to dawn, and excuses begin to be made: But there was never any danger to the kids. (/talking point)....21 year old sires of old money families. IOW Rich kids behaving badly. I mean can you think of anyone who is a page who isn't from a wealthy family?.....BullShip. Foley is a Teenager-abusing faggot who got caught. Here in FL we have known he was gay for years.....When a 52 yr old "gay" congressman is send overtly friendly e-mails to a child it should of raised red flags. This was not a case where you just tell a guy to stay away from the boys. The child's parents thought it was bad enough to complain and wanted it stopped. If Hasert was a real leader he would have forced Foley to retire.....I just noticed: The prank scenario only applies to the Edmund IM sessions and does not necessarily apply to any other exchanges between the former congressman and others. ....The IMs were written in 2003. The explicit cybersex was after the guy had turned 18 and was no longer a page. No story here whatsoever.
:rofl:
And GLOOM SETS IN: Shep is covering hay fever treatment right now I suspect Fox News' fall will be as rapid as its rise.....Hastert shouldn't run for speaker again. Not because of this, but because he should take more naps and let a stronger leader take the job -- and someone less affected by RINO's......Foley should have resigned. He has issues and problems. He does not need to be in congress. Atleast, he does not need to be a republican....Remember back when Freepers looked down on homosexuals that "recruit" "questioning" young people? Those were the good ol' days... ...He is a PREDATOR.....Foley resigned because he was shown to be a predator....Legal or illegal is not the point. The point is, Foley is a homo recruiter. I thought we didn't like those kinds of people....Foley is a scumbag. And that's a fact.
:nopity:
Ugh...that whole exercise was pretty disgusting. I skimmed towards the end, just couldn't bear looking at the hatred and filth!
