So, if this is true, what we have is basically a guy's career ruined because he was hitting on a page (i.e., intern, clearly inappropriate conduct). Hmm... why does this sound familiar? All it's lacking is an actual sexual act, known in some parts now as a "lewinski".

Are the dems merely going horrified by his actions because he's GAY??????? (rhetorical question).

Another Fake-but-Accurate story brought to you by the drive-by media.

[plain talk]

All Foley - all the time. I'm sick of this non-story already. People are murdered, raped and abused every day. How about maybe the media focuses on that rather than a congressman supposedly (how do even know it was him) sending dirty IM's? I just hope the RNC has enough guts to move on, change the subject and quit staying on defense defending this non-crime. He's outed, no sexual crimes we know of, it's over.

ABC Statement on revelation IM teen was not a minor:

"We are investigating these vicious attacks on Republican Representative Foley's legacy as a paedophile (did we mention he is a Republican?)."

[Dustbunny]

The Dems got what they wanted, Foley stepped down.

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

Does this mean the dems are now GAY BASHERS ?

[bandleader]

The DemonRats have(once again)OVERPLAYED their hand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Chode]

HA ha...
and the RATS take another one in the...

[Revolting cat!]

In view of all that, Congressman Foley oughta get his Congressional seat back, and sincere apologies from everyone involved.

[sten]

if true, the GOP needs to push the story for at least 2 weeks. Don't let the dems drop it down the memory hole.

Remember, ABC knew the identity of the accuser and has 'fact checkers' to verify sources and stories (as one of my lib friends likes to point out). And they had this information for how long?? Obviously an effort to sway an election... is this close to election tampering?

[Recovering_Democrat]

HE WAS AN 18-YEAR OLD?????????????

HERE IS ABC NEWS' CREDIBILITY:

Of course, this will just increase the need for the sleazebuckets at the 'news' division to release more...and ignore their screw up.

[PISANO]

Kinda like that MAJOR STORY that played for weeks and weeks when it was found out that the CLINTOON was getting a BJ while he was discussing tactics concerning the Kosovo conflict with a member of Congress.

< /sarcasm >

[Deo et Patria]

What did Brian Ross and ABC know, and when did they know it?

Time for Dan Rath---uh, I mean Brian Ross to answer some tough questions about why they hyped a story deliberately characterizing this adult as an underaged person.

I'm going to grab some popcorn, this one looks good.

[KoRn]

Well what's his name already? He isn't a minor anymore, and he wasn't even really a victim of anything as far as we know.

[notigar]

Please all true conservatives stop arguing about this. It isn't going to get anywhere. There are instigators here. It doesn't matter. DO NOT defend a guy that has already resigned! It doesn't matter what underhanded things the media or dems did. People will not care. They would shoot a person like Foley. Stop fighting it.

[Black Guy who is a Republican]

Is this true? The guy was a legal adult at the time?

I'm not one to come down on someone for their lifestyle. Wow...this is one "page-turning" saga though, if I do say so myself! </unfunnyjoke>

[KoRn]

Never mind...

His first name is the same as the last name of a VERY famous basketball player who played for the Chicago Bulls, and his last name is Edmund.

[McGavin999]

Seems to me that this young man would have quite a lawsuit against ABC.

[AmericanMade1776]

This means he is still gay, but broke no laws.

[stultorum]

OMG!

Another one.
