When one of their own is caught, wingers turn bleeding heart

From a comment at The Blotter, which broke the news that Rep. maf54 was trolling for more than photos from ex-pages.

What a terrible tragedy! I've known Mark for years and he was an extremely dedicated and effective legislator. He evidently fought with demons that none of us knew about. This is a big loss for the State of Florida.

1. Yeah, I saw those posts.

I loved this one:

"If he were a Demokrat,this wouldn't be an political issue, but a private, personal matter. The liberal double standard continues."

Another deep thinker surfaces in public.

5. It is truly amazing how they manage to convince themselves how

unfair it all is by flipping that. They are the ones saying it is not a personal and private matter but a public matter.

Not to mention that dems don't condone it when it's a minor vs. adult case. So that's just a straw man anyway.

They should be exhibiting disgust, because of their own opinions (which would include disgust at consenting adult relationships they consider irregular).

2. He is a big Neocon pervert....no sympathy here...good riddance..

3. Hehe... Seems to have touched a sore spot.

"If liberals had their way, relationships between men and boys would be both socially and legally acceptable... or did you forget about NAMBLA??? Let's get back to the issues!"

"If he were a Demokrat,this wouldn't be an political issue, but a private, personal matter. The liberal double standard continues."

Fearfull ignorant bunch, eh?
Nice rebuttal:

"I love all the "If he was a Democrat" comments. Too funny. He'a a Conservatve Republican homosexual Pedophile. A CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN, CHRISTIAN, FAMILY VALUES, GOD-FEARING, FLAG-WAVING HOMOSEXUAL PEDOPHILE.
And to boot, he's the Chairman of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children!!
See the irony?"

[Syncronaut Seven]

9. Not me!

but good!

4. Yeah, it's a tragedy, a tragedy he didn't get caught long before now.

I wonder how many other young people he's insinuated himself on.

[hatrack]

6. Yeah, it's always a "cry for help" or some such shit

7. I'm sure it won't belong before we're told how misunderstood he is.
