C.R.E.W. probibly only supplied photocopies of the chatlogs to ABC.

How did C.R.E.W. get the Chatlogs to begin with?

After reading those messages, I can't believe the mental gymnastics that freepers are doing to justify this creep.

Oh, right, I forgot, Foley was set-up by the all and powerful Oz. /sarc off.

But, if the Repubs knew of this guy's predilictions for young boys 10 months ago and did nothing about him, then all who knew should also resign. They should have required a resignation from him from the get-go.

What if AOL supplied them to C.R.E.W. to begin with?

Or someone from C.R.E.W. works for AOL?

The only way would be if they pulled this text off of Foley's PC OR if they were able to trace the archived text back to an IP Foley could be tied to

What is even more disgusting is that this guy who has the maturity of a 13 yr old was helping pass laws for our whole country.

I would agree...IF the archive is genuine........and given previous bogus garbage that we've seen from the MSM...I'm very skeptical.

he revolts me and makes my skin crawl after reading those IMs. and i can't imagine ANYONE is justifying or defending him. it is just noteworthy that we are revolted by our scum and flush them immediately whereas the dems embrace their scum and re-elect or otherwise reward them [barney franks, gerry studds, mel reynolds]

Name a Democrat who stepped down for immoral/deviant activity? It's not an issue to Liberals when THEY are exercising their "personal life", but it's a front-page-news-abomination if it is a Republican.

That's right. Because Republicans preach family values, morality, no same-sex marriages, etc. and Democrats do not. I'd like to think that Republican standards for office are higher then Democrats. Whatever happened to "character counts"? I've read about half a dozen posts that have started with "If this were Barney Frank..." Is Barney Frank new standard of morality? I sure as hell hope not.

Why was this kid playing along with Foley?

Is this the normal kind of conversation our congresscritters have with interns now?

If I'm not mistaken, they knew about the e-mails, which weren't nearly as bad as the IM's posted here. A little creepy maybe, but not sexual in nature. In fact, I think I read that the parents of the boy who received the emails asked that they not be made public and Foley was told to stop all contact.

"Why was this kid playing along with Foley?"

Good question. One possibility is that the kid is gay and likes old men.

More plausable to me is that the kid was just role playing, stringing him along to see how far Foley would go with it. As I mentioned earlier, I bet this kid told his friends about it and they all egged him on, It was the cruel joke of the year to play on someone.

I know kids that have several personalities on MySpace and use them just as someone with mulitple screen names on a message board would.

Both these people are disgusting cretins. The reason Franks, Kennedy and the rest of the Demogenerates are still around is their party condones their behavior. The GOP does not.

Yep....but as other Freepers have said in this thread....there IS a double standard isn't there....between the Dims and Republicans? Hell...The Swimmer, at the very least, committed involuntary manslaughter...maybe reckless homicide....and where is the POS? His family members have been accused of serious crimes and welked.....no....comparing Kennedy to any situation is like comparing apples to mule droppings...

Seems to me the appropriate response is not to defend this creep, but to condemn him in the strongest terms, then scream bloody murder at the double standard on the part of the dims & in the press.

Thats the GOP's job. I want them out quoting democrats and ABC, NYT, etc back when 19 year old interns were receiving cigar-oscopies in the Oval Office, and DEMANDING they explain why their standards have changed. They've got to TRY to change the subject. They've no one to blame but themselves if this continues.

Yeah, it was totally cruel. I can't believe that some kid played along and responded to Foley's suggestive emails. That kid should have ended the text messages as soon as he realized that Foley was gay so that Foley wouldn't have been caught. That kid ruined Foley's career. I would expect more from a sixteen year-old than a fifty year-old member of Congress.

I read that transcript. This is all that they have on Foley? Sure he's gay, but I have heard worse on commercial TV.


It seems to me the kid egging him on to say more.

There are a lot of allegations being thrown around on this one. Until the full investigation is done I'll reserve judgment. However, if the investigation shows that there were Repubs in the House who knew what this guy was, then they should lose their jobs, resign, or be throw out by the voters.
