DRUDGE IN DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO SLIME VICTIM - FREEPERS REJOICE
Matt Drudge has sunk to a new low. He exposes the identity (through the sleuthing of some idiot rightwing blogger on passionateamerica.com) of ONE of Foley's victim, positing that some of the IM's took place when the guy was over 18.

What he fails to mention is that this is ONLY the guy who Foley had phone sex with during the House vote. He is NOT the guy who Foley asked to measure his dick and he is NOT the guy who Foley asked for a picture from, these are all separate incidents with separate pages.

More than that, the one who had the phone sex, in one of the exchanges, clearly says:


Xxxxxxxxxx (8:33:29 PM): ya slow things down a little im still young...like under 18
dont want to do anything illegal...im not 18 till feb 23


Freepers are rejoicing over Drudge outing this kid. This will, of course, absolutely appall America even more, but Freepers are so out of touch with America that all they can see is their pathetic, error ridden sleuthing games on the web.

1. You know, this could very well backfire badly on them

Why would they antagonize the very group who actually has the goods on their guy?

Those pages might unite and stand up for themselves.

Could happen.

21. at some point don't they have to wonder
what republicans are actually doing for them? Moral values is out the window. Security is too if they wake up and look at the mountain of facts. They haven't stopped illegal immigration. Tax cuts, but at what price? ANYONE could borrow trillions of dollars and give you a tax cut. Why do they stick with these guys? They're down to abortion. THAT'S IT!

8. So, IF they believe he was the age of 18, why would he say otherwise?
Maybe because Foley's advances made him uncomfortable and he wanted to keep some distance??

Maybe because he chose that rather than say, "Leave me alone, you creep," from fear of retaliation?

Which would only point futher to sexual harrassment.

Either way, there's no way out of this.

9. Okay, I don't get it
ABC headlined the story: "New Foley Instant Messages; Had Internet Sex While Awaiting House Vote"

But upon reviewing the records, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned, the young man was in fact over the age of 18 at the time of the exchange.

A network source explains, messages with the young man and disgraced former Congressman Foley took place before and after the 18th birthday.


So... what new thing did Drudge bring to the table? We already know that the kid was under 18.

:shrug:

Sounds like these people are grasping at straws.

11. Is the outing of a minor by Drudge legal?
Drudge actually tried to pretend that the first kid was entrapping Foley. He called the kids "beasts". Methinks Drudges closet activities involve some young ones too.

18. That's not the reason people say he's gay
although the right certainly think it's enough excuse to go after Olbermann. But I digress.

Anyway, the reason is, David Brock (who is gay) said Drudge had hit on him years ago.

I have to admit, Sam Seder cracks me up on his show when every mention of Drudge is accompanied by the sound of a squeaky creaking door, and Sam yells "Would you SHUT THAT CLOSET DOOR! It's making too much noise!"

19. Drudge has been outed a few times...
Edited on Wed Oct-04-06 11:00 PM by zulchzulu
I'm not about to waste my time with "proof"...he's gay...not that there is anything wrong with that...

http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Matt_Drudge

Oh, OK...here's one... David Brock (www.mediamatters.org) , who is openly gay, has mentioned about Drudge being flirtatious with him in the 90's when David was a Repug operative and them going out on a date to an LA gay bar... there are other examples as well...

22. That is really disgusting
Matt Drudge owes an apology to the entire nation.

And just what do Mr. Robinson's minions think they're going to do with this information? Or maybe I don't want to know. It's probably something they'll be ashamed of in the morning.
