Foley resigns. Freepers blame... democrats!!!

[ps1074]

I agree with you.
Then the question becomes: When did the Democrats know about this? If Foley is a child predator and the Democrats found out and sat on it until it benefitted them politically, then how many children did they put at risk for their political gain?

[liberaldemocrat7]

42. These freepers only care about losing power.

That's what they care about. They don't care about one of their own found out a predator.

They're going to eventually lose their $200 tax cuts and their leaders will lose their $85,000 tax cuts.

[MadMaddie]

2. Wow....they have no shame....they are blaming the Dems...

for not outing the pervert....Wow....they are delusional...Just Wow..

[zreosumgame]

33. kind of like when Catholic priests blames the boys

for 'making trouble' for the church by suing them...

[zanne]

3. ROFLMAO!

I love it when people are unintentionally funny, don't you?

[Renew Deal]

12. I had the same reaction.

[AX10]

4. They will blame us for everything, even though it is their fault.

:eyes:

[havocmom]

7. sure, it's OUR fault teenaged boys are so dishy to GOP slimeballs

;)

[SammyWinstonJack]

5. Wow! That's really reaching! These people are all the same aren't they?

It's always someone else's fault, never their own. What a bunch of immature whine bags.

[AlCzervik]

6. They blame the democrats for his outing but notice they say

nothing about his actual behavior.

[Sydnie]

9. Ding Ding Ding

We have a winner!

8. "This political message paid for by the RNC."

Whip up them dimwits. Get 'em foaming at the mouths. Isn't that the lesson from the Ralph Reed playbook?

[Avalux]

10. That's some really twisted logic there.

Of course we can't every expect them to take responsibility for anything. Always the victims.

[Johonny]

11. If

the key word is if. If his statement isn't true then what a complete tool he is. Hey let's play the if game. If republicans knew about this child predator and not only didn't do anything but helped elect him by giving him tons of money and their votes, then how many children did they put at risk? When did republicans know about this... immediately he's a republican and he knew he was a child predator and he hid that fact for political gain! Wow I don't even need the magic if.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

13. Here's a good one...

>>>>To: Political Junkie Too

The right answer is that our candidates have to stop being crooks, thieves, and perverts. Then, it wouldn't matter what the law was. <<<<<<

lol!!!! Fat chance!!!!

14. ah, yes... "The Party of Personal Resposibility" strikes again... n/t

Unfortunately the number of ‘pedophiles’ and ‘pervert predators’ who are republican is disproportionately large. It doesn’t matter if it’s the Mayor of Spokane, or the republican head of the anti-gay initiative at the Boy Scouts who turned out to be into kiddie porn. When you go digging in the closets of republicans, there’s a reason the ‘claim’ to be anti-gay and anti-pedophiles with such a vengeance. Because so many of their own are both, and they revile themselves.

Here’s a list compiled from:

[malaise]

36. Here's an updated list

http://www.armchairsubversive.com/

[Jim Lane]

38. Here's another list

This list was assembled collaboratively by several different DUers, back when Demopedia was still active: http://demopedia.democraticunderground.com/index.php/Republican_Values

I haven't compared this list with the others posted here. The Demopedia list hasn't been updated in more than a year, so Foley and other recent additions to the Hall of Shame aren't included.

[petronius]

17. Perhaps Foley glimpsed the clenis in the House locker room,

and the sight poisoned his mind...

As to "how many children the Ds (hypothetically) put at risk," I'd say it was definitely fewer than this one R actually put at risk. (Assuming the truth here is what it seems to be...)

[TechBear_Seattle]

18. Democrats ARE responsible

After all, everyone knows that Democrats have been seducing children with liberal lies, then using these innocent pawns to, in turn, seduce powerful and influencial Republicans. And didn't you know? That program was started by none other than Bill Clinton and his best bud, Osama bin Laden. Foley is just an innocent victim of Democratic entrapment.

Don't believe me? Just ask the Freepers :rofl:

[Beaverhausen]

19. They will not take responsibility for anything will they?

oh my god!

[Ksec]

20. How did the Dems get Foley to send that pervert email?

Thats what I wanna know. Mind control maybe?

[Justice Is Comin]

21. Can you reverse engineer yourselves back to your whale excrement?

[livvy]

22. Why blame all the Dems, when everybody knows it's just......

Clinton's fault! :rofl: (me laughing at my own joke!)

[Gold Metal Flake]

23. Because if REPUBLICANS knew, that would be OK.

If REPUBLICANS watched, that would be OK.

If other REPUBLICANS were involved, that would be OK.

It's OK if you are a REPUBLICAN, and you don't get caught.

[Jack Rabbit]

25. If Laura ran over Barney in the White House driveway . . .

. . . the freepers would blame Democrats.

[BrotherBuzz]

26. And the Democrats are infiltrating their party!

What's the name of that river in Egypt? :rofl:

........

To: Lunatic Fringe


Apparently he is an infiltration into the Republican Party. No true Republican, would act that way. We have a lot of them who have infiltrated our party.

43. They are all "infiltrations"...

Yeah! That's right! There really aren't any Republicans at all. Every single one of them is an "infiltration!" :rofl:

They are all Democrats posing as Republicans.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

27. It's interesting, reading this thread, all the cries for presumption of

innocence. No such luck for the poor wretches rotting in the Abu Ghraibs and rendition prisons of shrubco, eh?

On edit: It's also amusing and a bit sad that about 3-4 pages from the end of the thread, they begin to engage in internet sleuthery to see if some 17 year old myspace kid named Broussard from LA might be the kid who got the emails, speculating based on nothing that he might be related to the St. Bernard Parish Broussard from the Katrina coverage.

Um... Hello? McFly? Who'd a thunk there'd be TWO people in the state of Louisiana with the name Broussard!!! Alert the media! :rofl:

[Marr]

28. Want to know the really amazing part?

That will be the cable news spin, too. You just watch.

[Warren DeMontague]

29. Uh, dude, the folks who criminally "sit on" information re-Pedophiles

and otherwise cover up for them, aren't called "Democrats".

They're called "Bishops".

http://www.catholic.org/national/national_story.php?id=21101

[LSK]

30. actually, isnt it the Department of Justice's fault???

:crazy:

[Warren DeMontague]

31. No, it's gotta be the CLENIS's fault.

See, consensual adult Democrat sex always leads to illicit Republican child molestation.

[debbierlus]

32. I really wouldn't worry to much about that...

People will only tune into the fact that he was a Republican congressman....

They can't pin this on the dems no matter what they say or how hard they try....So let em try...it just makes them look desperate.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

34. This freep thread is full of references to FLA about to have a "gay Repub

governor". Who is the candidate for the Repubs there?

[hvn_nbr_2]

35. It's all Clinton's fault. If he hadn't gotten all the adult women, then...

Foley wouldn't have to hit on teenage boys.

[LordLovesAWorkingMan]

37. But how many did they SAVE?

What a bunch of fuckheads.

[Disturbed]

39. RWing ABC broadcasts the actual E-Mails.

Are the freeps going to boycott ABC now?

[Truthiness Inspector]

40. Foley is responsible for his own abhorent actions

but I hope to God no one sat on this.

No Dems better have held this back...please tell me they didn't.
I can't imagine they did, but someone settle this matter please?

When did it happen, and when was it discovered, and who discovered it?

Foley needs to go to the Big House. Anyone who didn't report this immediately, *IF* true needs to go as well.

:mad: :mad: :mad:

[and-justice-for-all]

41. NO one to blame but theirselves....himself

....People need to me man enough to take the blame and/or credit where and when it is due; Foley admitted and the case is closed, he is responsible and to blame. Not Dems...
