- gronne, on 10/12/2007, -9/+49Or the "Swift Boat" veterans. Still, no one is claiming that the DNC made this guy try to have sex with minors so he made his own bed. The truth is the truth in spite of the how's, when's and why's.
- enki25, on 10/12/2007, -4/+35Name a democrat that harrassed underage subordinates. You're right though, Democrats don't think being gay is wrong. They do, however, have a problem with child molestation.
- carpeicthus, on 10/12/2007, -11/+35Hannity. Ass. Hat.
- gronne, on 10/12/2007, -8/+31What are you talking about?
- hawkeye17, on 10/12/2007, -7/+28And people actually watch this scumbag??? Children were preyed upon and these FOX hacks spend their time talking about liberal conspiracies? These guys are more worried about their chances in the elections than the children. That's sickening.
- enki25, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21@MyHappyClam
Clinton's sexual activities with a consenting adult are not in the same category of Foley's child molestation. And Clinton never pardoned Democratic politicians who did anything comparable. - WalterDirt, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18I hope the dems win so that they can use all those secret camps to round up all the republicans and torture them under the newly approved laws.
- Shadar, on 10/12/2007, -3/+19Nono, this is the Democrats fault for bringing it up... not the Republicans fault for DOING IT.
- enki25, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17Mel Reynolds served his sentence, he was not pardoned. Do us a favor and actually READ the articles you post links to.
The reason this news wasn't released sooner is because the GOP covered it up. - Shadar, on 10/12/2007, -5/+18When the democrats play politics it is a dirty thing, when the republicans play politics it is the democrats fault for not being smart enough to do the same thing. Are people who believe this as brainless as they seem?
- sockpuppets, on 10/12/2007, -5/+18I bet Osama is captured within a few weeks now.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -9/+20Hannity is ignoring the fact that Bin Laden mysteriously seems to "show up" right around election time.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15am i supposed to show outrage for something that happened before i was old enough to vote, before the net was big and this is the first time i heard of it...
But i promiss that if any dems get caught contemporaily, i will be just as mad.
I dont see foley as a sick republican bastard, he is a sick bastard..
But all this spin, the dems did it too, doesn thelp you party, it just makes you look like you are justify the man...
you can say all you want "foley should get whats coming" but when you follow that with a "but", you lose my ear.
Here is one right back at you, the republicans havent done anything ever right before an election to influence it, right??
See that doesnt make it right.. and is a pointless arguement. I really dont care if this is a dem ploy, i am glad the guy has been removed from office and if anyone knew and let him get away with it, they should be removed as well. - Shadar, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15Well, the Bush team is trying to destroy our freedoms and they constantly try to scare us... so they could easily be labeled as terrorists and tortured until they admit they have been misleading the country.... or wait, they wouldn't be tortured... it would just be alternative interogation techniques, so they have nothing to worry about :)
- drakaan, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13gronne:
The truth *is* the truth, and should have been made known 6-12 months ago. Ask the question "why wasn't it?", and you run into som extremely unsatisfying answers.
I agree that the conspiracy angle is only a sidenote, but it's part of a valid hypothesis for why we didn't know about it sooner. Foley should have faced charges a year ago, and everyone that knew and said nothing is to blame. - millixaw, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13How long until Clinton gets mention in these threads? He always seems to get mentioned anytime a republican screws up, for some reason...
- Stonedonkey, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12Or the price of gas mysteriously lowers :p
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10@Shadar
I've noticed a rather disturbing trend along these lines. Republicans seem to think that it's OK to do immoral things, but terribly evil to react. Just on digg alone, I've learned the following Republican lessons:
- ignorance is OK, but giving correct facts makes one a liberal elitist
- lying is acceptable, but pointing it out makes one a skeptic doomed to Hell
- calling democrats "traitors" is fine, taking umbrage at such libel makes one a whiner
- torture is fine, and anyone who thinks differently loves terrorists
- illegal actions from Bush is great, but reporting on said actions just emboldens our enemies
- general misconduct from the GOP is OK, but linking to stories about this misconduct makes digg unacceptably *partisan* - infopro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Are you kiddin' me? Hell, he's the terrorist who lays the golden eggs -- they'll never catch him. It'll always be "the new #2." "Be seeing you!"
- jstohler, on 10/12/2007, -8/+15Panic and desperation are all the GOP has right now.
- NoahVail, on 10/12/2007, -19/+27Nanny-nanny boo-boo,
Stick your head in doo-doo!
Sounds like more of those pussy right wingers whining about politics. Take some viagra boys, and buck-up!
(Know what- that letter wasn't a fake. IBM Selectric typewriters DID use proportional font spacing.) - SPThom, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12If the GOP had taken care of Foley a year ago-- or what is it, four years now? --the Dems wouldn't have had a chance to "conspire".
- sebnukem, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10Look everyone how unethical and dishonest democrats are! They shamelessly expose all our fellow republican pedophiles just before an election.
- jaycliche, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Yeah conspiracy to cover the end of HABEUS CORPUS!!!! A true American like Hanity has no time to cover such things. Good work "republicans". Ending almost a thousand years of rights going back to the Magna Carta...yes...this thing is so much more important. Sure it's not to bump Fox's 10 years reign of horror?
- Dweller99, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9Have you noticed who keeps bringing it up?
I am sure Fox has been hammering away at this story in one form or another all day long. - rory88, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10Let's start by waterboarding Cheney...
- WalterDirt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7seconded
- WalterDirt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7I am all for your proposal. The insanity has gotten out of hand somewhere around 2000.
- ZWash300, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Sean Hannity just gets douchier every time he opens his mouth.
He wouldn't give food to a starving family unless they were Republican. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7they have already called all us dissenters traitors and underminers fo the president and of giving aid and comfort to the enemy, nazi appeasers. I think we should worry if the dems dont win.
- gwolf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Republicans are the one's that seem to like makeing character an issue, so what's the problem?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5http://www.khaleejtimes.com/DisplayArticleNew.asp?xfile=data/theworld/2006/October/theworld_October62.xml§ion=theworld
Just a ‘matter of time’ for Bin Laden to face justice: Bush - drawkbox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Hello fellow ninja, I see you too are above the trees. Its easier to steal in chaos, especially rights of lazy people, mind controlled with expert information management, or PR or propaganda.
- grafenberg, on 10/12/2007, -8/+13sadly it was not a political issue until the republicans made it one: http://hatesomething.blogspot.com/2006/10/partisans-and-pundits-desperate-to.html
- infopro, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5That'd work, yeah.
- joel8x, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5I hate to say it, but he's probably right. Politics is a very sneaky game and these kinds of things seem to pop up coincidentally at the worst possible times. Still, I love the hypocracy of the douche-bag! He's going around preaching against pedos while being one himself. maf54 is a creep.
- totorototoro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I guess there are 2 questions America needs to consider:
1) Did the Press withold this news until near election time?
2) Did the Republican Party withold the news until caught?
Personally, I'm a bit more concerned about 2), but, thats just me. - jamessavik, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Last year at this time, 1/3 of our refinery capacity was offline because of Katrina and Rita. Look it up.
- drakaan, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Disagreed. If the price of regime change is the sexual molestation of someone, I'd just as soon we found another way. Timing news bombs is for tax evasion or money laundering, not statutory rape. That's horrifyingly unethical and irresponsible (albeit not as much as the crime in question).
- drawkbox, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7People are stupid, they fall for the left-right ponzi scheme all the time. Its a trap. Find your way out, your only tool is the brain on your head. Both parties are corrupt, the system is rigged, they all abuse power, go independent, keep them guessing, do not repeat the slogans. This man is sick and it should not be in a shell demopublican frame. This is probably also a tool to help lmit internet freedom even more and bring in more security measures. For even in the tragedies, like 911, the security complex is like a ninja/chuck norris roundhousing the back of your head. Anyone want to bet he was paid off, to cause the contoversy to flip it another way or off certain issues before the election? There are layers beneath the news, the news is what you are meant to hear.
- millixaw, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6You heard it here first: The GOP doesn't care about children.
- jon3k, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4How much more time can they possibly spend calling this guy a sicko? After you re-hash it 20 times its not news anymore. It's history.
The guy is a sick *****, and now he's out of office. Let's figure out the extent, charge the guy, put his sick ass in jail and MOVE ON. Christ. - infopro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Per drakaan: "No argument about the whining, but proportional font spacing was only one of many things that made it probable that the document was a fake"
A common assumption by many too young to remember anything before Word & Write is that proportional spacing didn't exist in the 70s. In point of fact it did, usually (Though not exclusively; Adler & a couple of other brands featured them as well.) on IBM Selectrics. And who had the money to buy tons of Adlers & Selectrics hand over fist in the '70s? The military, who had absolute gobs of them. And yes, that does include the Natl. Guard. - b04155, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Capt. Obvious to the white courtesy phone. Paging Capt. Obvious to the white courtesy phone, thank you.
- benhocking, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3A lot of Republicans like to point out that Lewinsky wasn't about the affair, but the lie under oath.
Well, this is partly about the affair (and don't pretend like there wasn't a physical aspect to this relationship - "I miss you from san diego"), but it's also about the cover-up by Hastert et al. With all the allegations flying around about Democrats possibly knowing about this earlier (even though Republicans have admitted to keeping it from the one Democrat on the page committee), it's clear that Republicans DID know about this earlier. And, seriously, if the Democrats knew about this in '03 (as Rush and Hannity like to imply), then why not run someone against Foley in '04 and release it then - when it'd also end up damaging the Bush campaign by association?!? - gwolf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Cold war is over, repeal the war powers act or modify it to be specific to the kind of massive attacks it was designed to combat.
Congress and the legislature need teeth to deal with presidents who decide they don't have to obey the law. - gab00n, on 10/12/2007, -7/+9Fox could have released these ages ago when they first got them, i wonder why they didn't. I guess they too support child molesters like the Republican leadership does.
- NoahVail, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3drakaan- No one proved the document was a fake, either. It seems pretty clear that our fearless leader was AWOL. Of course, this was not the time he was AWOL- remember "My Pet Goat"?
- benhocking, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4@Charlotte_Web: Do you think it's perfectly valid when Hannity said:
"Who knew? Why did they leak it now, 30- some-odd days out of an election, when they had this for three years? That’s a big question in my mind."
So, they "had this for three years" and yet chose not to release it prior to the 2004 election when it could have had an even bigger effect? Boy, those Democrats are worse at playing this politics game than I thought... - mturn, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I don't suppose you considered the fact that bringing attention to the moral corruption of the aforementioned Republicans is like shooting fish in a barrel. As for your 'politics of personal distruction [sic],' must I remind you of the swift boat veterans, who tarnished John Kerry's military legacy during the 2004 presidential election (opposite G W Bush, who was notoriously absent during the Vietnam war), and were improperly connected to the Bush reelection effort? And you talk of Democrats as being morally bankrupt while this son of a bitch tries to take advantage of underage subordinates, and party leaders seek to hide this from the public? You are pathetic.
I really wish that just one mildly intelligent Republican would post here for once, so that we would not have to look so biased in modding down every right-leaning post that is made. Unfortunately, I have yet to meet such a Republican. -
