Here is what I wrote to the editor of our local paper:

Subject: The Foley October Surprise

As intended, the mainstream media has succeeded in
confusing people about the contents of the Mark Foley
(R-FL) emails that the Republican House leadership
saw, and the text messages that they never saw until
the ABC News campaign on behalf of the DNC was
initiated.

The lurid material is in the text messages, and House
Democrat Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) knew about these
text messages for THREE YEARS!!! Ms. Pelosi endangered
underage pages by not immediately notifying the proper
authorities of the potential for molestation, chosing
instead to make them public at a politically opportune
moment.

This is bigger than Watergate. We need a special
prosecutor to determine what the Democrats knew and
when they knew it.

Here is the editor's response:

(E. Pluribus Unum), we've had no reports that Pelosi was
aware of the messages. I'll need to see some documentation.

----------------------------------------------------------

I stuck my neck out based on your info and don't have any 
documentation to back it up with. Thanks.

Save the BS.

The instant messages are three years old.

this was covered yesterday on Rush Limbaugh and is also being covered right now on Rush. Http://www.rushlimbaugh.com

This is also being backed up by the ABC reporter who now admits he had the messages in August.


====BEGIN RUSH PAGE EXCERPT======

RUSH: We have the audio sound bite from Denny Hastert about a half hour ago. He said this about the instant message exchanges from Mark Foley to a page.

HASTERT: Anyone who had knowledge of these instant messages should have turned them over to authorities immediately so that kids could be protected. I repeat again, the Republican leaders of the House did not have them. We have all said so and on the record. But someone did have them.

RUSH: That's right.

HASTERT: And the ethics committee, the justice department, the news media, and anyone who can should help us find out.

RUSH: News media. Ha-ha.

HASTERT: Yesterday I sent a letter to the attorney general requesting that he investigate to what extent any federal laws were violated by Congressman Foley and also to find out who might have known about the sexually explicit instant messages. I was pleased to read in the newspaper this morning that the FBI has begun to investigate.

RUSH: All right. All right. So now we know that Hastert didn't know about the instant messages, but somebody did -- and since their strategic release, remember, the release of these instant messages was not to protect this kid, not to protect the page or any other page. The release of all this was not to clean up Washington. The release of all this was not to make sure that some predator pedophile was running around loose; got caught and sent out of town. That was not the purpose of this. This was a strategic release to help the Democrats during the election. So I, El Rushbo, America's real anchorman, want to know when the Democrats knew about the instant messages. They may have known about this before Hastert and the Republicans. It would appear so. So the question is, when did Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats know about the instant messages? That needs to be the question that needs to be asked. All these jerks out there suggesting that Hastert and everybody else resign are missing the point. The real question here is who had these instant messages, for how long, and who coordinated their release in a strategic way with Brian Ross at ABC?

END TRANSCRIPT





Also from the HILL


======begin excerpt


Who is C.R.E.W.?

Here’s what The Hill wrote:

One target of Republican criticism is Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), the group that last year assisted former Rep. Chris Bell (D-Texas) in drafting an ethics complaint against DeLay, which resulted in an admonishment of DeLay from the ethics committee. At last week’s press conference, Melanie Sloan, CREW’s executive director, said that DeLay should step down as majority leader.

From 1995 to 1998, CREW’s Sloan served as minority counsel for the House Judiciary Committee under Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.). Before that, Sloan served as the nominations counsel on the Senate Judiciary Committee under Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.).

According to GOP research, Mark Penn, who had been a pollster for President Clinton, and Daniel Berger, a major Democratic donor, are on CREW’s board. Spokeswoman Naomi Seligman declined several requests to reveal the membership of CREW’s board, although she confirmed that Penn and Berger are members. Last year, Berger made a $100,000 contribution to America Coming Together (ACT), a 527 group that was dedicated to defeating Bush in the presidential election, according to politicalmoneyline.com, a website that tracks fundraising.

CREW declined to respond to the RNC talking points or House GOP research.

C.R.E.W. is one of four “public interest” organizations which the RNC has long identifed as major recipients of George Soros richly-funded Open Society Institute. It is backing the risible Wilson/Plame civil suit against Cheney and others.




====end excerpt=====



The IMs are three years old. There is a delibertate campaign to confuse emails with instant messages and for the MSM to confuse the two. Pelosi knew this was comming out because she had Rep. Harman ready and briefed to go on this.

Since the newspaper is being obtuse to facts, try rewriting the letter pointing out that the instant messages are three years old.

PS

VOTE NOVEMBER 7

Never give up, never surrender!
