As time passes, it is increasingly clear that the ABC News report which started the Foley firestorm is odorousand Im not talking Chanel.
(1) It dealt with the emails which the FBI and many media organizations considered as innocuous as the Republican leadership did. Who circulated these reports is not yet clear.Foleys spokesman said his opponent, Mahoney had been shopping the story to the media for some time....(much more)

Is Brian Ross GAY? Egad...is there NO ONE in the CLOSET these days????
Problem is Foley resigned. Why?? At this late date, it virtually assured the dems would pick up his seat. So staying in and fighting the allegations, if untrue, wouldn't have done any more damage than has already been done, plus it would have taken some heat off of Hastert and the other house repubs. Foley may still have lost, but maybe he wouldn't have brought so many others down with him.
One must believe that there is truth to the story or maybe there is something worse....
Great read but I'm concerened about the damage already done. I went to a public seminar yesterday. The feeling on the street is Foley is a pervert, Hastert must go, and The GOP is in trouble, and these were business people, not all Dims. Unless there is a big ABC mea culpa, it will hurt.
Ross is one of a long line of liberals who lack the shame gene, a necessary component of fully developed humanity. We can all, I'm sure, easily list many who will fall into the circle of hell reserved for these miscreants.
Are all gays sadsacks?? They Never look happy.
"On" or "in"?
I'm not following this....is this a contrived hoax, or what?
You got that right.
Wow, I have scarcely seen such an incredible analysis. She is really able to condense a lot of stuff into a basic gist.
She is really, really gifted.
PING
So the SSP site is a fake as everyone suspected. But who was the source for ABCNews and CREW which redacted so much of the headers on the emails?

Foley is creepy and has been dealt with.
Democrats celebrate creeps like Barney Frank and
Gary Studds.
What law was possibly broken in Washington DC,considering
the age of consent is 16;
Subchapter I. General Provisions. (Refs & Annos)
§ 22-3001. Definitions.
It depends on which way Ross is facing.
I think it's true that Foley is homosexual. It's not yet clear whether he has had relations with a minor page or not, since the page in the ABC story appears to have been 18. Moreover, I believe the age of consent in DC is 17.
A couple of other pages, not themselves homosexuals, appear to have led Foley on by pretending to flirt with him in emails or instant messages.
At the same time, all these pages talked, and the Democrat operatives got hold of the story months ago, possibly years ago, but sat on it until the day it was too late for Foley to remove his name from the ballot.
So, it appears to be true that Foley is a sleaze, and good riddance to him. But it also appears to be true that the Democrats knew about this for months and years but did nothing. Yet they demanded that Speaker Hastert resign for not exposing Foley earlier, even though Hastert knew far less than they did, and in fact what Hastert knew appears to have been mild.
So Hastert did what he should have done, I think--warned Foley to behave himself. What would the Democrats have said if the Republicans forced Foley to resign because he was gay?
On top of everything else, there are fake websites, fake messages, falsified messages, and exposed ties between Democratic operatives and their pimps in the news media, eager to do their bidding, and to do it on the specific day that is most damaging to the Republicans.
Sam Donaldson, where are you when we need you?
bttt
If this Edmund kid comes out and says that he was not the producer of some or all of the IMs then the "fit will hit the shan". To make Edmund a victim they will have to prove him a liar and all persons with possession of the IMs could be prosecuted unless they could prove that they did not modify them.
Clear as mud.
The question is: Why do we allow them to force us into calling them gays? They are homosexuals.
