"unlike Clinton, republicans do the honorable thing & step down"

[Philosoraptor]

cspan caller

[ellacott]

1. I've been reading the same thing on the conservative boards

Limbaugh said something similar. They know how to get their talking points in line.

[CarbonDate]

2. Those honorable pedophiles....

...they sure are sorry when they get caught, aren't they?

[Philosoraptor]

3. 2nd repub caller says same thing

barney frank didn't step down, she lamented

[CarbonDate]

7. We're going to have to use the word "pedophile" repeatedly...

...since they apparently can't make the distinction between a consenting relationship with an adult and hitting on teenage boys.

Pedophile, pedophile, pedophile. Republicans are pedophiles.

[Kurovski]

35. I'm beginning to get the creepy feeling that these folks think that sex

with the kiddies is just fine, and so they DON'T make the distinction.

Maybe the entire Republican Party has this as an underlying belief. How to explain it otherwise?

[CarbonDate]

4. Groping Old Pedophiles.

So that's what it stands for....

[Hav]

5. .

And they surely know how to divert from the age issue...it's also kind of strange to talk about "honorable" in this case when I remember this AIM-conversation he had with the kid. People should be ashamed to look for excuses for Foley.

[jimshoes]

49. This has gone stright to the

Ministry of Turd Polishing, to be spun into at the very least a condemnation of Dem morals (See what Clinton has wrought) and at what honorable men (repukniks) do when they get caught with their hands in their trousers talking to adolescent boys.

[fasttense]

6. Then bush should do the honorable thing and step down like Nixon. n/t

[WePurrsevere]

43. GMTA - The CRIMES that BuSh* & his RW cabal have committed are FAR more

horrendous then Clinton's whose only "crime" was lying to cover up a BJ with an ADULT.

If Bush, Cheney, Rummy, RW Congress Reps, etc were truly honorable human beings they'd admit that they screwed upm admit that they were WRONG, admit that they LIED and ALL step-down for the sake of our United States of America. Instead they keep compounding the crimes, lies and horse puckey. :grr:

[SammyWinstonJack]

53. !

:thumbsup:

[thepurpose]

8. Unreal. Clinton had sex with a child? Having legal sex is

not a crime. Do they not know the difference.

[Daphne08]

9. Do they NOT get it?? There's a BIG difference between two

consenting adults (in case of Clinton) and a powerful Congressman (Foley) preying on a minor.

They cannot see the difference? Sad.

[CarbonDate]

13. No, they see the difference (pedophile).

It's just that (pedophile) they're hoping that the (pedophile) people will conflate the (pedophile) two cases.

Pedophile pedophile pedophile.

[Hav]

19. .

Are you suggesting that those who are supporting the pedophile Foley indirectly approve the acts of pedophiles and maybe had pedophile thoughts deep down in their pedophile approving mind? That's horrible!

[acmejack]

50. Let me see if I understand this...

Pedophile Pedophile Pedophile Pedophile Pedophile Pedophile Pedophile Pedophile! Does that sum it up?

[sarge43]

15. They can see the difference

They don't want anyone else to.

[BlooInBloo]

58. I think you're missing the sexism point....

In their minds, females are the equivalent of children.

[sarge43]

10. Unlike Repugs, Clinton didn't commit a criminal act. n/t

[TWiley]

11. Must be real trouble

If they are invoking Clinton.

[Flubadubya]

12. Foley didn't exactly "step down"...

If his "sins" have been known by the Rethug leadership for a year, then why didn't he step down a year ago?

Moreover, not only did he not step down right away, but his republican bosses have kept it covered up for him... like cat shit in a litter box.

Just shows you how stupid Rethug "followers" really are! :puke:

[CarbonDate]

16. Not stupid, they're just dishonest pedophiles.

These pedophiles think the voters will fall for any amount of pedophile crap.

Pedophiles.

[gully]

14. Unlike Clinton - this situation did not involve two consenting adults.

Unlike Clinton - this situation did not involve a mass cover-up on the part of Democrats.

Unlike Clinton - this situation will not involve an expensive Republican investigation.

[CarbonDate]

18. Unlike Clinton, Foley is a pedophile.

And Hastert covered for the pedophile.

[Kurovski]

37. You know, maybe the old wrestling coach himself is a pedophile?

who stands for that kind of shit when they know about it? Another pedophile certainly would.

[Philosoraptor]

39. any one of us would turn in a pedophile co-worker

[Philosoraptor]

17. Barney Frank should step down cause he's a homosexual

[CarbonDate]

20. But Foley is a pedophile.

Frank isn't.

[TAPat]

25. I'm not sure I'm getting what you are saying...

So, Foley is a pedophile? ;)

[Philosoraptor]

21. I hear rush limbaugh's talking points bright and early

[Uben]

22. So, that's why they waited a year?

Gimme a break! They tried to cover it up!

[opihimoimoi]

23. Repedophiles????

[Philosoraptor]

24. Michael Jackson gets away with it, but not a white man...?

[gully]

26. Is that what one of them said?!

Wha? Astounding!

[Philosoraptor]

28. jaw dropping racist desperation

[TAPat]

27. There's a war on Rich, White, Pedophile Men in

this country! :crazy:

Now, let's get back to the war on Christmas!

[Philosoraptor]

29. repub callers are inferring that homosexuality is a crime.

[Philosoraptor]

30. foley should join the Dem party & marry the boy....dumb and dumber

[sweetheart]

31. They step *down* because children are shorter

Its hard for them to fuck children standing up, and why all republicans step down regularly.

[riona]

32. Oh please, repugs

:boring:

[izzie]

33. I love it when all the Holy people come out of the closet.

Is that a pun?

[Philosoraptor]

34. "Foley did the right thing".... my fave

[KharmaTrain]

36. So Going After 16 Year Old Boys Is Conseusal?

I've heard those calls as well and it's amazing how these immoral goons attempt to even connect the two. And then they try to make it seem like Democrats not just condoned Clinton's infidelties but encouraged it. Sheesh. The gaul of these hypocrites to be that desperate.

The end game here is one of the last bastions of Repugnican "moral authority" was torn to shreads with this resignation. Remember, this is a party that not only hates sex but sex offenders (or so they claim). Let's see how the "leadership" deals with the sticky wicket of explaining why they covered up Foley's problem and then kept him on as a chairman of a committee dealing with children and in the overall leadership. This is just as damning as what Foley did.

One more game they'll be playing and that's bringing up the Gerry Stubbs...the Mass. Dem. who was censured for his affair with a male page. But lost in their "indignation" was a Repugnican was also censured at that time...Daniel Crane...a Repugnican who was caught in corpus delecti with a female intern.

This has been one hell of a week for the Grand Old Perverts.

[Philosoraptor]

38. so long as you're not caught

[KharmaTrain]

47. Ooops....Ya Mean He Got Caught?

Seems like the corporate media has tried to spin this that someone Foley stood up and resigned on his own out of some magnanimous act. The Freepers are claiming "at least he resigned, and Clinton didn't". Well, if Clinton were caught propositioning young boys, you better believe Democrats would have called for his head just as loud as Repugnicans.

The corporate double standard here will soon become obvious. In 2001, the media couldn't get enough of Gary Condit and all but destroyed the man's life. They not only houneded him out of office, but kept on him afterwards. Will we see a similar treatment of Foley? Will they even have the balls to dig further and find out if there are more pedophile incidents in Mr. Foley's past? I've got a bright shiny dime that says we'll find out, but it won't be through the corporate media...it will come out here on the blogs.

[calico1]

40. Like Nixon?

Like when he "honorably" stepped down rather than face getting thrown out?

:rofl:

[Philosoraptor]

42. mmmm, they didn't mention him

[Tess I Guess]

41. unlike clinton... republicans step down

Isn't Foley about the 234839348348th Republican to 'step down with dignity and honor" ...They could populate a major metropolis
by now
If this like past GOP scandals, I can see the rightwads talking points already

AT LEAST HE WASN'T UNDER OATH
AT LEAST IT WAS HIS OWN AOL ACCOUNT
AT LEAST HE WASN'T TALKING TO A CONGRESSMAN AT THE SAME TIME
and shades of bush's DUI ) DIDN'T YOU EVER SOLICIT PICS OF MINORS WHEN YOU WERE THAT AGE

[Rabrrrrrr]

45. AT LEAST HE WASN'T CALLING CHINA ON A WHITE HOUSE PHONE

:puke:

I think you're right about how they could populate their own major city by this point. They couuld call it "Republican Christian Family Values Pedophile and Adultery Ville"

[opihimoimoi]

48. Dean should hire you to paint a picture of the "Ville"

on the other hand...won't be a pretty picture.

:toast: to you....cheers.

[opihimoimoi]

46. Welcome Aboard Tess I Guess...as you prolly know...this place

is a reflection of Sanity and Reason....

At least, WE TRY.....

[bklyncowgirl]

44. Clinton wasn't kanoodling with jailbait--there's a difference

Hell even Jim McGreevey who I despise, had the good sense to keep away from the kiddies.

[C_U_L8R]

51. They covered it up and got caught AGAIN

typical dumbfuck Republicans

[Crunchy Frog]

52. That must be why Newtie stepped down...

and Giuliani, and Henry "Homewrecker" Hyde. It's why Strom Thurmond gracefully stepped down because his conscience simply wouldn't allow him to continue with the burden of knowing that he had an illegitimate black daughter at the same time that he was promoting racist policies. It's why Limbaugh has resigned in shame from his radio show.

Oh wait a minute. I must have been dreaming.:eyes:

[Philosoraptor]

54. great cartoon!

[MODemocrat]

55. Tell me why hasn't the "honorable" George W. Bush stepped down?

and Rummy, and Cheney.........? There are so many liars and cheats in this administration there would be
nothing left if all the dishonorable ones stepped down! :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown:

[rocktivity]

56. Yeah--right after the evidence FORCES them to!

rocknation

[BlooInBloo]

57. Unlike Clinton, republicans are sexual predators.

[Philosoraptor]

59. but at least they wait till they cement their $100,000 pension deal

[helderheid]

60. I'll wait and see if those who knew and did nothing about it step down.

[helderheid]

62. are they still taking calls? If so, we should point out the difference

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

61. amazing - GOP calls Foley honorable

republicans defending fellow pervert.

[Rocknrule]

63. What do Republicans and McDonalds have in common?

They both like to stick their meat between 5-year old buns
