"Speaker Hastert had knowledge of Congressman Foley's inappropriate behavior and chose to protect a potential pedophile" David Bossie, president of the conservative group Citizens United, said yesterday. "If Speaker Hastert was willing to sacrifice a child to protect Representative Foley's seat and his own leadership position, then he surely does not share our American and conservative values."

"When you have a 50-year-old man -- who is a known homosexual -- who wants a picture of a 16-year-old boy, that should send out some alarm bells," he said. "This is almost like a Clinton-type response."

What is almost as appalling, and disgusting, is the number of Republicans supporting Hastert.

What is appalling but so typical of you, is you taking a sanctimonious stand AGAINST speaker Hastert, and confusing e-mail and IMs.

"Speaker Hastert had knowledge of Congressman Foley's inappropriate behavior and chose to protect a potential pedophile"...

Now we have to jail "potential" criminals? I don't want you on the "thought police" monitor.

As far as I know what Hastert did was not illegal.
