I have a problem believing that the Democrats could know of these text messages and the Republican would not.
I believe they manufactured these IMs and here is my proof.
This is a intentionally blurred version of the PDF of IMs from Foley to the page. Even blurred like this you can tell that the colors and the fonts change from one style to another and then back again during these sessions. That's important because it shows that whoever typed in that black added section didn't know how to change the fonts and the colors to what were actually used by Foley and the page. Additionally changing the text on those parts that were actually copied would allow the font and the color to remain the same as long as the line was not removed entirely.
But perhaps to me at least the most damning of all in the case that these were fakes is the fact that that there are NO DATES at all on any of the IM pages I have viewed. No Dates mean no way to prove that Foley was otherwise involved in other activities that would have prevented him for IMing this young man.
Even if Foley is guilty of being Gay, and that is what we are really talking about, fabricating "evidence" to prove he is gay is the height of hypocrisy and should expect nothing less from the democrats.
