Ya like how they protect the guy's identity, as if it should not be relevant to the news story.

But the StopSexualPreditors blogger didn't mention the IM's, he posted the emails. The page sent the emails to Congressman Reynolds' office, that has been confirmed. Brian worked for Mr. Reynolds at one time. Brian's sister is the political coordinator for HRC. The blogger who was fired was fired for using HRC computers to post the emails.

Isn't there only one email that came out of Alexander's district shows to have come from a page via his parents?

I was not aware we have been told exactly how the rest of the internet communications were shopped.

How exactly has the Foley scandal been bad for the liberals and their agenda? It seems to me that they got some mileage out of it.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I didn't mean bad for the liberals directly but rather bad for The Human Rights Campaign and their agenda. For example, Foley has really thrown into doubt the "homosexual adult in contact with youth is OK" (aka homo scoutmasters are just fine) gambit. That may not be a specific plank in THRC's platform but illustrative of the unintended consequences of outting Foley.

I'd say there were long-term consequences for the libs if one of their component groups was harmed, but where would the G&L crowd go, to the republicans?

So Republican accusations of a coordinated attack were correct.

I think we need a thorough Congressional investigation, a 2 year long one that releases its findings in mid-October 2008. :-)

[Wally_Kalbacken]

He was fired for releasing it too early.

[Zack Nguyen]

Sounds like a plan to me! :)

HA ha...
and the RATS take another one in the...

The email exchange between the page and the person in the Congressman's office mentions more than one email, there are five that he forwarded to the person in congresscritter's office. I think I might have confused Congressman Reynolds and Congressman Alexander, sorry. Link to email exchange:

No wonder Pelosi refuses to testify under oath.

'There is something strange about this story. First: "Smith refused to identify the employee by name, citing privacy concerns" says the author. But then the author writes: The fired blogger did not return e-mails seeking comment Thursday. Does the author know who he is or not?'

Post that to Hannity and Michelle Malkin :-)

Cheers!

In fairness, I can think of a substantial number of straight people who are said to have been "in contact with youth."

[redpoll]

This makes sense. "Fire" the guy who established a website that appeared suspiciously like a place to expose Foley. I used to work in the media, so I know how serious it means to be fired. I was once fired on a newspaper for pretty much trumped-up reasons and within two hours I had calls from two other papers offering me work. I would guess anyone willing to fall on the sword in order to "get" a Republican will be handsomely lavished with more employment by a similarly liberal organization.

There is no outrage from these leftist lunatics.

You noticed that, too? You could have made a bucket of ice cream in the warmth of their indignation.

Guy was fired for technical incompetence. He got caught.

Scum, all of them. The HRC, home of the gay werewolf Mau-Mau seminar poster, "very aboveboard" in all their dealings with the public? LOL!

[lentulusgracchus]

He's probably already got another job lined up at the DNC, or with some Dim's campaign.

Freeper Mia T has argued that there's a Clinton dimension here -- that Slick and Hillary were taking on water as a result of the Chris Wallace/WoT interview and needed to change the subject, fast.

If that's right, "some Dim" will turn out to be Hildebeast.
