CLAIM: FILTHY FOLEY ONLINE MESSAGES WERE PAGE PRANK GONE AWRY
**World Exclusive**
**Must Credit the DRUDGE REPORT**

According to two people close to former congressional page Jordan Edmund, the now famous lurid AOL Instant Message exchanges that led to the resignation of Mark Foley were part of an online prank that by mistake got into the hands of enemy political operatives, the DRUDGE REPORT can reveal.

According to one Oklahoma source who knows the former page very well, Edmund, a conservative Republican, goaded an unwitting Foley to type embarrassing comments that were then shared with a small group of young Hill politicos. The prank went awry when the saved IM sessions got into the hands of political operatives favorable to Democrats.

The primary source, an ally of Edmund, adamantly proclaims that the former page is not a homosexual. The prank scenario was confirmed by a second associate of Edmund. Both are fearful that their political careers will be affected if they are publicly brought into the matter.

The prank scenario only applies to the Edmund IM sessions and does not necessarily apply to any other exchanges between the former congressman and others.

The news come on the heels that Edmund has hired former Timothy McVeigh attorney, Stephen Jones.

All of the spin in the world is not going to change the reality - the Dems engaged in gay bashing in order to take down a Republican and gain an upper hand politically, never having the safety of the pages in mind whatsoever!




Hope this point can be made by the GOP as the MSM isn't going to tell the sheeple.

I think I actually took it from his post. At the time I wrote it I thought I was original, but then I remember last night before I went to sleep at like 4am that I read that line somewhere on here! So in reality, I may have taken it from him. but thanks for noticing.

haha I am nervous! I get into a pissing match with a well established member who warns me that I might not be around long and I get posts warning of my suspicious activity!

Computer forensics...I know that even if you shoot a computer, you can probably recover the contents of a hard drive...I think that was on Law and Order once...but beyond that...

Most of you are trying to make something out of this but the bottom line is Foley is a pervert and deserved to be outed and anyone who protected him deserves the same in my estimation.
The Dems are playing it for all its worth but we gave them the ammo folks.

Hey, we can agree to to disagree.

I do not approve of the Republican leadership giving this dirt bag a slap on the wrist for overtly friendly e-mails to this kid.

I expect the Republican leadership to have a zero tolerance attitude for conressgmen in their behavior, whether it be gays or heterosexuals. They are elected to serve the people's business not to satisfy their sexual needs. Maybe I just hold the Republicans to a higher standard than most of you. It will be interesting to me to see how most of you that have excoriated me for my opinion react to a democrat in a similar situation in the near future....

Didn't say that Foley didn't need to be outed, it was the method that is cruel. Not protecting him for his crime, he needs to get what is coming to him, although no one even know what THAT is, but protecting the person who was the at the receiving end of a nasty "prank" is humane. We'd do it for a dog.

WE have tons of ammo, but WE won't use it because WE are above that...so WE will be out of office.

When Leftist trolls start openly announcing themselves, rather then hiding under cover as "conservatives", that usually means one of two things.

1) You think you have us on the ropes and can't resist gloating.

2) Whatever you are engaged in is blowing up in your faces.

I take it the second applies here.

Thank you for confirming our suspicions there will be no 20-50 House shift. LOL

Hey, son...........isn't it past your bedtime?

Or don't you have Algebra homework or something like that?

Don't mean to jump in here uninvited, but you're supposed to ping a person when you talk about her (that would be nopardons).........even if you think you're the smartest person in the world, and don't need to follow the rules of the forum......
