ABC ONLINE GLITCH LEADS TO IDENTITY OF FOLEY ACCUSER; FEATURED IM EXCHANGE WAS WITH 18 YEAR OLD

"Now the story is about all the politicians who called typical sex talk between two ADULT homosexuals disgusting."

Clinton/Lewenski = Foley/Jordan

Two consenting adults doing what they do. The dems deny them the right of privacy. It is just talk amongs adults. Where is the issue?

[GeorgiaDawg32]

amazingly, it hasn't hit there yet..

[Reagan79]

I'm not a fan of gays but at least Foley had the decency to resign. Clinton is scum.

[Kozak]

21-3.4 < 18

21-3.4 NOT = 16

[jrooney]

Maybe he did but drudge is saying they looked at the records and confirmed he was 18.

[1curiousmind]

"is that too much to ask for before I start piling on blaim on this kid?"

Who is blaming the 18 yr old "kid"?

[MOgirl]

Hello,

Well, well...

Gotta run for a bit, be back soon.

See, this is why Foley wanted to know all about the boy's birthday. He was just waiting until the boy became a man.

[LibLieSlayer]

Only one page, and an inference that they were "being contacted by former pages". This is the worst kind of bias and lies.

2 questions.

1. Is this the same Jerry Doyle who was on B5 as Michael Garibaldi?

2. If above is true, since when does he have a radio show

[TheConservator]

How about ABC's direct admission--will that do ya?

A network source explains exchanges with the young man and disgraced former Congressman Foley took place before and after the 18th birthday.

Thanks, I appreciate that. But I don't trust this blogger because if he were honorable, he wouldn't be so blatantly exposing a victim without concrete evidence and without at least trying to find out the other side of the story. I think the blogger is glorifying in the limelight and in the fact that he thinks he has put 2 + 2 together...and wants to be the 1st one out there with the blog that does so.

Still, I don't see the proof.

More than the IM's being fake I wonder about the real identity of the person with whom Foley thought he was corresponding. Not that him being caught in a sting, whether by the law or a political enemy, reduces by one whit what he is accused of. If he thought he was doing something wrong then he was doing wrong, regardless of who was on the other end of the messaging. Whatever or whoever is behind the story it's just too darn convenient for the Democrats for me to believe it's just coincidence that it appears right now. There's probably something to it, and details might be interesting but lurid, Foley beat feet way to quickly in seclusion!

In any event, my thoughts and prayers are with Rep. Foley and his family in this. I have a 'thing' for root beer floats made with A&W root beer and Blue Belle Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream. Seriously, every week or so I get an overwhelming compulsion for this combination. I've had this compulsion most of my life and consequently I weigh a LOT more than I should. I am 65-years-old and food has been a problem for me most of my life. I have tried everything known to mankind control this compulsion, all to no effect. I can't imagine having a drive as strong as this for something that's illegal, like a sexual attraction to children. My family has a history of alcoholism and suicides. Those who have not fought the demon of compulsive behavior, it's a joke. To those who live with it, it's very real.

My prayers go to Foley and his family.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Both conservatives and Republicans have repudiated Foley.

This you call proof?

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

tatze,

I haven't seen a single post where his actions were being defended on FR? I think the tree is being lost in the forest because of the "scandal laundering" to steal a term from another freeper.

[wouldntbprudent]

Yes, I believe they have. They just substracted back from his present age to 2003, when the IM's were exchanged.

[true_blue_texican]

Hey! Was this guy no longer an "intern" at the time of the sexual inuendos??? So, like, he didn't even work "under" Foley at the time of the incidents? So, like, Foley could truthfully say that he did not have sex with that Man, former intern yada-yada?!?!

Ok, I was just checking.

[Tatze]

I think the Drudge story, based on the blogger, is that the IM sex during a house vote took place after he was 18. So no crime there. 2 consenting adults. ABC claimed it he was under 18.

But the IM relationship started before the page's 18th birthday.
