Blog: The Sexually Explicit Internet Messages That Led to Fla. Rep. Foley's Resignation

Maf54: You in your boxers, too? Teen: Nope, just got home. I had a college interview that went late. Maf54: Well, strip down and get relaxed.

Another message:

Maf54: What ya wearing? Teen: tshirt and shorts Maf54: Love to slip them off of you.

And this one:

Maf54: Do I make you a little horny? Teen: A little. Maf54: Cool.

The language gets much more graphic, too graphic to be broadcast, and at one point the congressman appears to be describing Internet sex.

Federal authorities say such messages could result in Foley's prosecution, under some of the same laws he helped to enact.

"Adds up to soliciting underage children for sex," said Brad Garrett, a former FBI agent and now an ABC News consultant. "And what it amounts to is serious both state and federal violations that could potentially get you a number of years."

You are sorry it isnt true??/ LOL

You believe what you like. If you dont want to believe it thats fine with me, Its funny though that almost all males prostitutes are young ad boyish. Did you ever see a 40 year old male prostitute? Oh: Its true all right no matter what you may have heard. They all want kids.

I have him on my buddy list but I guess he wont come online..;-)

[Kenny Bunk]

Barney da Bugger of Bayonne was included in the bcc.

[Doe Eyes]

It's true.

I hope its something you are able to control.

[El Gato]

When you try to pull up his Congressional website via a pulldown on "house.gov", the list shows "Foley ... Vacancy" and if you try to go there, you get "connection refused".

[SuziQ]

and point how he swtiched to the democrat party last week :]

Did he really? Then he obviously believed that he'd feel more at home there, and he's right.

[Jack Black]

Liberals are complete idiots.

I don't think any of them should find anything objectionable about this. After all, as has been posted elsewhere the 'age of consent' in DC is 16. (How convenient!).

So this was legal, consensual behavior between adults and young adults.

The Dems hate the "don't ask don't tell" rules. Well news flash, Army volunteers enter at 17. In the imaginary world that liberals live in somehow these pedophiles are not going to harrass the young men in their charge in the Army. (Where, after all you can't click the window closed of the horny 50 year old guy who is hitting on you..)

Nope. Liberals have been arguing for a world where this is normal, acceptable behavior. Anyone who says 1 DAMN WORD about this sould be closely questioned: Really, are you anti-gay? Do you believe teens should not have sex? Do you favor absenence for all teens or just gay teens? Do you think the age of consent should be higher? Why do you think its ok to have gays in the Army but this upsets you?

This is a teaching opportunity.

[stultorum]

There is much more that can't be posted.

This guy has disgraced not just himself and his family, but the party as well.

One more seat off of our side and onto the Dems.

If the best we can do for that seat is a homosexual pedophile, we don't deserve it.

My granddaughter has been nominated to go on a "People to People, Student Ambassador tour of Europe this summer. We've all thought that this would be such a wonderful experience, but only if her mother can go along as a chaparone or something.

sick twit

[B-Chan]

It's not a matter of belief. I know many homosexuals (including relatives) and not one has ever expressed the slightest desire to commit sodomy with children. Therefore, it's a fact that not all homosexual men are chickenhawks.

Do homosexuals prefer young men? I guess so. Not being a homo myself, I can't say. I do know this, however: a lot of straight guys don't mind checking out teenage girls. Ever see a 40-year-old straight guy slobbering over a high-school cheerleader? I have. It's nasty.

Homosexual sodomy is a filthy, digusting act, but it's not the same thing as being a pedophile. Yes, sodomy is unnatural and wrong, but so is adultery; are heterosexual adulterers more likely to harbor a sick desire for children than those who remain faithful? I see no evidence of that being true. Likewise, while the homosexuals I know obviously have a disordered sexual attraction to other men, I see no evidence that any of them are attracted to children.

The SOB was one of the members of the organization for Missing and Exploited Children.

He sure sounds like one conflicted individual. Maybe he himself was molested as a child and has a "love/hate" relationship with the whole gay child abuse thing.

[popdonnelly]

Your Congress at work. Of course, Democrats have no morals, so they can't be held to the same moral standard as other people.

[Gator113]

I don't think so. Right now he has some other pain in the rear to deal with.

[dogbyte12]

What's worse is that the leadership knew about the emails.

In the AP story, Rep Alexander stated that he informed the leadership 10-11 months ago about the emails. Why did Hastert keep him in his slots for the past year knowing this? What was Denny thinking?

Courtesy of Alex Jones:

Foley: "No, you got it all wrong. I'm a member of the Bohemian Grove. We were just trying to use the kid as a human sacrifice. I'm not a pervert!"

[SE Mom]

Oh no- that is REALLY bad. I wonder when anyone first learned about the IM's..

[rintense]

Ok, its a given that Foley abused his position, especially considering his work with missing/exploited kids. But, I'm wondering where the hot for teacher crowd is on this. It seems this kid was enjoying this sexual conversation and was a willing participant. Outside Foley's job, is there really anything wrong with this? If a 16 year old boy can be praised for having sex with a hot teacher, how do you treat a 16 year old boy who chooses to have sexual conversations with an adult?

[drhogan]

i think the last stats i read on pedophiles indicated that the majority of pedophiles are heterosexual, and that the rate of pedophilia among homosexuals is quite a bit higher than the rate of pedophilia among heterosexuals.
