1. Hardly surprising they miss him.

He was probably a big source of business for them.

[shadowknows69]

2. Well there's no proof he actually raped children

only that he wanted to. Give the poor guy a break. Do I really need this?: :sarcasm:

[nam78_two]

3. It was probably Foley's idea of "match.com" or "eharmony.com"

:eyes:
Go figure...

[EFerrari]

4. Time to start looking at their roster?

How completely inappropriate.

[Bluebear]

5. Extremely inappropriate. What gives? nt

[Wilms]

8. Stunning to me.

Then I wondered. If not an extreme form of denial, could this be a plea for help from individuals realizing how sick they are?

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

6. I suggest that you all do some research...

On John Walsh's(Yes, THAT John Walsh's) National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Some of the things I have read have been quite unflattering indeed.

As I remember it, it is a great vehicle for making John Walsh wealthy. Other things? Not so much.

13. Hasn't it been a brilliant vehicle for guilt tripping people into buying

overpriced milk as well. Board roster, latest IRS filing and a little peek-see on what is actually going on wouldn't offend anyone with nothing to hide, right?

[flyarm]

7. this has to be a ..."got to be shitting me moment!!"

now i know ..we are living in an insane time warp..

holy shit!

fly

9. If we had a real justice department

I'll bet there would be a lot of people's emails that would be investigated.

[Erika]

10. He talked about woodies with a 16 year old

Where else could we get this dialog. And so on. These people need to get real.

[w4rma]

11. Weak, inappropriate statement, considering the reason he resigned. (nt)

[ryanus]

12. Yes, all those missing and exploited children are sad...

what a loss.

whatever

[wiley]

16. You meant to say safer, right?

Especially since figures show that almost 5% of those who abuse, exploit or molest children are homosexuals. The other 95% are "ethical" Republicans hiding behind their shrill throated claims of being heterosexuals. A child molester is a child molester even when it's your mom or dad or a sibling. Maybe we should just call the Defense of marriage Act the Child Molestation and Exploitation Opportunity Act.

[Jack Rabbit]

14. Foley was instrumental tn getting a lot of child protection law passed

Ironcally, he may be proxecuted under a piece of his own legislation.

[Erika]

17. Why anyone would defend this person is beyond me

He may have passed laws based on his onw projections. He was one sick puppy.

[Jack Rabbit]

19. I'm not defending him

But that is a statement of fact. This thread is anchored by a news story in which the head of a child safety organization says Foley will be missed. To that group, he will be, but somebody will take his palce.

He may have passed laws based on his onw projections. He was one sick puppy.

No arguemtn from me.

[Erika]

15. I just sent an email about Foley talking about woodies and

enjoying taking minor's kids clothes off. Doesn't deal well with respectability.

[Hav]

23. .

Or whether the kid got a handjob by a girl recently, how and how often he masturbates, where he unloads...it's pretty sick.

[Bluebear]

27. .

[nosmokes]

18. he's been on a 'list' that incoming pages recieved warning them to bewary

of him, FCOL. our trusted representatives knew this sick fuck was preying on children tht were entrusted to be pages for the government and they shielded and covered up for him! unreal! no wonder the kids being raped at abu ghraib din't make any waves - thy're doing the same goddam thing in the capitol.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

20. "was preying on children that were entrusted to the government"

You got it right there. THAT'S what is so serious about this.

[MsMagnificent]

21. What Foley did wasn't Exploitation?

What he did wasn't Child Abuse?

Everything is upside down. This is the United States of America through the Looking Glass!

[NVMojo]

22. sick. but it helps to know that Foley was in the closet. Gaybashers in GOP

probably let the cat out of the bag.

24. Oh, for God's sake!

He's a predator, you lunatics!

[Bluebear]

25. kick

26. It turns out that Foley headed an anti-child exploitation caucus!

Foley, as chairman of the Missing and Exploited Children's Caucus, had introduced legislation in July to protect children from exploitation by adults over the Internet. He also sponsored other legislation designed to protect minors from abuse and neglect.

Well, this explains the everything--Walsh and Foley must have worked closely together over the years. And he didn't have a clue? I realize how embarassed he feels, but he should have expressed SOME degree of disappointment?
