Not one whit.
Oh, come on. At least ONE whit?
It certainly does matter. There is a difference between being called a homosexual and being called a pedophile.
Not one whit.
Denying reality a little? The MSM's spin has been Foley was preying upon young, underage congressional pages and had 'cybersex' with the same. If the ex-page was 18+, there would seemingly be no crime.
D.C.'s age of consent is 16, the same as page's minimum age. There was no actual sex. He was a page a year before the IMs and now was apparently 18, a clearly legal adult, at the time of the IMs.
Hastert only knew of an emails asking for a photo, how an ex-page weathered a hurricane and other things. No news organization felt the emails warranted any coverage and they knew of them years ago. Foley was disciplined. Now with the IMs having been revealed, Foley was gone immediately.
What don't I know?
