I too have seen too many comments on FR lately that present the scandalous lives of Democrats as though it is justification for Foley's behavior. Some have even demanded proof Foley's admission of improper behavior be proved by naming the underage pages Foley targeted.

My thoughts go back to my childhood when some kid would be caught doing something wrong, and the kid would react by trying to shift attention to something another kid did days or weeks earlier. Only people of very weak character would stoop this low.

I haven't seen anybody present the behavior of tawdry, creepy rats as justification for Foley's bad behavior.

The reason the behavior of Studds and others is presented is to demonstrate the hypocrisy of the left and the fact that their supposed outrage over the Foley matter is just phony political posturing. If they didn't care about a youth being taken advantage of for homosexual relations in the Studds' case, how do they honestly present a face of moral outrage over mere emails and IM exchanges today? They still, today, defend Clinton's activities in the oval office as "just sex", but mere emails and IMs have sullied these youths beyond repair? Right.

There is a huge difference between

• cowering behind the sins of a preceding offender

  and

• pointing out hypocrisy on the part of the accuser.
