Now, the obvious fact here is that the media and the Democrats knew just as much as the GOP, and they didnâ€™t do a thing. The GOP investigated and took moves to prevent any pages from falling victim to Foleyâ€™s homosexual urges.

The Democrats didnâ€™t do a thing.

In America, we are given the right to know who accuses us of misdeeds.

That tears it. I’m a Democrat, and Gary Ruppert just accused me of misdeeds. I demand to know his identity!

Re: the “Homeland” thing…is it excessively paranoid to notice how close “Department of Homeland Security” is to “Committee for State Security”?

I agree about the Homeland bit. It creeps me out. I was raised in Germany and every time I hear about Homeland Security, I think of Oma and Opa. Not my grandparents, I just called them that.

But can I just say that I find this whole â€œHomelandâ€? descriptive of America to be creepy, Nationalist, Jingoistic and somewhat fascist?

Yes! Thanks, mikey. Y’know, there’s so much abomination to respond to (jeepers but that fourth reich keeps us on our toes!) that I admit I’ve let slide for months my desire to comment on the absolute, gut-level revulsion I felt (and continue to feel) from the first moment I heard of this new “department” in our federal protectosphere. Have these people not read Orwell? Did they read him and just not get him? Did they read him, get him, and decide, well shit, I guess it worked out for the proles trying to keep Eurasia and Eastasia from clashing in their lobes?

I mean, it’s not just somewhat fascist: it’s the quintessence of fascist. Aside: I told my students today that one of the biggest problems in American discourse today is that people use terms they don’t understand to try to prove political points. They didn’t believe me. I pop-quizzed them: “Define fascism.” Not a one of them could. Or, I should say, they either couldn’t offer a definition or they offered the Garybot version. But (thanks to the OED) they all had a valid working definition by the end of class.

So . . . well . . . it felt good for the moment . . .

Add my personal pet wingnut, rightwingsparkle (44 y.o. female cheerleader) to the link list. I’ve been checking all evening to see when she would do it. The thing is, this wingnut also has a “reader blog” on the local paper’s web site (chron.com). Her latest post is titled “Sex.” No, really, it is. Even though there is a disclaimer, I sent the chron a complaint email. It’s worked before — she had to change a post because of an email I sent. Hope this time they just boot her off completely.

Thanks for keeping track of this you guys.

I see Drudge has posted the website that outed the kid. I guess it’s a well-read blog now. What can one say? Oh yeah: this country is fucked.

Let us not forget about Frank Figueroa – Former head of Homeland Security’s Operation Predator who pleaded guilty of exposing himself to minors – and fellow pedophile former Homeland Security Deputy Press Secretary Bob Doyle. If this is a Democratic party plot, it’s a pretty far reaching one.

“The fact of the matter is that this is a liberal smear campaign to try and defame the Republican party.”

Wait, this makes no sense.

Are you saying Foley didn’t actually mess around with underage kids? Are you saying the GOP leadership didn’t clap their hands over their ears and eyes and say “I know nothing! Nothing at all!” even when the pages and the chiefs of staff were trying to get their attention?

Because if you’re not, I don’t see how it’s a smear, and I sure as hell don’t see how it’s defamatory. Since, see, smears and defamation are when you say things that aren’t true.

And if you are, then you’re… well, you’re just being silly.

And, no, you’re not cute when you’re silly.

I saw that Rush Limbaugh and some others have already started a â€˜blame the victimâ€™ campaign.

Wasn’t this asshole caught with his viagra filled pants down in Haiti or some godforsaken third world hell hole where child prostitution is rampant? It wouldn’t surprise me to learn thugs like Rush are treading a thin line.

Wow, I just looked at Technorati, and wingnuts are getting drunk off the Kool-Aid of that site!

Mark Foley for pope.
This is the most perfect political scandal I’ve ever seen.
I half hope Hastert does find out who started this, I want to buy them more than a few beers.
As someone who travels to Florida for family purposes a couple times a year, I can’t effing wait to say, “oh, so you’re a Foley republican” and watch’em lose it.
Just for the record, I’m not saying whatever the pages who were victimized went through makes it worth it, but as an American I’m proud of them for taking one for the team. They did not suffer in vain.

â€œIn America, we are given the right to know who accuses us of misdeeds. Mark Foley didnâ€™t know that until now.â€?

Assuming that the set of all underage boys being IMed by Foley is not infinite, I would presume Foley at least had a good idea who was accusing him.
