The difference is that CNN in engaging in anti-gay rhetoric against Foley while Trump supporters were using anti-murderer rhetoric against Mateen who systematically killed gays.

Conclusion: CNN attacks gays and supports those who murder them. Interesting.

He was forced to resign for inappropriate messages to pages.

Underage pages. I'll ask the question again, if he emailed your underage child sexually explicit emails, would you give him a pass?

I'm not saying the guy needs to be executed, but, man, some things have just got to be a "no go", or has the world (and FreeRepublic) changed that much?

What does it say about the GOP that Donald Trump was their nominee? Let's face it, they are dead in the water, the brand name has been so damaged they will never be a majority party again, no matter how bad the Democrats are.

It says that the Republican wing of the Uni-Party has lost the loyalty of the rank and file. Hell, even the incumbent politicians with an (R) after their names don't know whether to $#!t or go blind. By and large they are just keeping their heads down and their feet dry.

As far as "brand" goes, who cares? Whatever is going to engender the trust of the people could call itself whatever it wants, be it Republican, Hutu, Tutsi or Donaldsonians.

Far too much "party" and not enough "American" is what has brought us to this point. The apparatchiks, glad handers, back slappers, "public servants" and hangers on are what brought us here and I am quite content to sit back and watch them and their patronage system blow up.

You're worried about the RATS taking over. If that's what the people want, that's what they'll get. Of course when they go "to far" (whatever that may be) perhaps the people will take things into their own hands. At that point, cops and the military will have some tough choices to make.

I’ll ask the question again,

...

Why do you think you can ask questions when you won’t answer any?

Other than CNN and you, who says they were underaged?

This is a well-known story. Google it and look it up. One article from Politico includes the intern/page that ultimately blew the whistle. I don’t really think there is any issue about this. If they weren’t underage, why would he feel the need to resign.

But it seems like you simply don’t wish to consider my question. That’s fine. I get it.
