The Dems have pitched this as an assault against prepubescent boys. I'm getting sick of reading the posts of FReepers who have bought into that lie. Thank you. My sentiments exactly. There are unfortunately a lot of people in the Republican/conservative camp who are totally buying into this "pedophilia" / "child molester" Democratic propaganda (like Mona Charen's recent column. She sounds just like Nancy Pelosi - very odd.)
I smell Kool-Aid...

The Dems are using our personal and collective feelings about gays to divide us. Whether it's disgust, or just the disdain for the "gay agenda," the Left will use those opinions against us.
However, if I were gay, I don't think I'd be voting for a Democrat now. This has turned out to be a middle-aged gay man flirting with a young man. If Drudge is right, they played Foley for a fool.
If they Dems pursue this, it can be nothing more than harassment of a gay man and intrusion into his privacy.
At least we are honest about our feelings, the Dems are...pardon the pun...outing themselves as hypocrites.
Precisely. Because what this is boiling down to really fast is 1) two gay MEN fooling around in IM. Which is a big yawn.
Or 2) a forgery / deliberate deceit, which is highly interesting and which the MSM will avoid as long as possible, until the bloggers embarrass them into grudgingly covering it.
