The DNC and MSM colluded to paint a picture of a Republican “Culture of Corruption” that resulted in a Democrat takeover of Congress in the 2006 elections.
The charges have proven to be without merit. They hounded Delay and Frist out of office and tanked others re-election bids.
The media acted as if they were shocked by the queer antics of Mark Foley but the DNC and MSM knew more earlier (and it was a Democrat staffer who corresponded and saved the IMs) but they used it to attack the GOP leadership for “knowing (some of the details) and doing nothing” (the media and DNC sat on the matter themselves until they could spring it as an October surprise).
The truth of the matter in these cases (Foley was not molesting aides as was orginally suggested) matters not.
And the Democrat partisan witchhunts will continue. But unlike McCarthyism, Nifongism will never appear in high school text books. Neither will the modern era’s yellow journalism.
The Socialist lies must be refuted. And those who make false allegations as prosecutors should themselves be put on trial and sent to prison for abuse of power.
