IMs are easily forged, it doesn't take a computer genius to manufacture them. That said, Foley's resignation lends credibility to the charges.

I do not defend Foley, he deserves everything he gets and more. But the orchestrated politics behind this sordid affair is just as egregious. Gateway Pundit is doing a great job digging into this angle.

If Gay Activists & Democrats Knew of Foley, Why Were They Silent?

[snip] "Radical gay activists made it their mission to out closeted members of the gay community - Today, it's their turn to be outed.

Radical Gay Rights Activists held on to information about Representative Foley for months and years. These "Rights Activists" knew that representative Foley had relationships with "young men less than half his age." They did their own investigation on Foley. They even flew in their sources in to be interviewed about the Representative. They shared this information with the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. They held on to the information for over a year. They wrote about how they would break the story at midterm elections."[snip]

You will also find that Soros funded CREW is also part of this.

Foleygate: What Stunk Like a Rat, Was a Democ-Rat!
http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2006/10/foleygate-what-stunk-like-rat-was.html

The hypocrisy of democrats asking when republicans knew should be turned on them. If the left wing St. Petersburg Times had the e-mails, you know democrats knew of the e-mails as well, and said nothing. Obviously neither party was alarmed by the e-mails, so both can share in the blame for inaction. So the issue really boils down to these 'IMs', who knew about them and when ? It appears left wing bloggers did, and, thus, some democrats surely knew and kept them hidden from republicans so they could spring their 'October Surprise'.

All this does not excuse Foley's actions or betrayal, but the gutter politics surrounding this are just as disgusting and hypocritical. Especially in light of Gerry Studds (D) (sex with a 17 year old male page - re-elected 6 times after), Dan Crane (R) (sex with a 17 year old female page - defeated in re-election bid) and Mel Reynolds (D) (sex with a 16 year old female campaign aide and corruption charges, convicted and pardoned by Clinton) debacles in the past. I didn't include Monica/Willy, she was 22 at the time.
