http://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_richard__061005_republicans_blame_ev.htmSlither hither, all you neo-con champions of traditional values. Let us hear your words about who is to blame for the gay Republican sex scandal on Capitol Hill. Tell us, you who promote personal responsibility, exactly who is responsible for Mark Foley engaging in steamy emails with underage males. Show us how to confess our sins, repent, seek forgiveness, learn from our mistakes and move forward. You Republicans are always talking about responsibility. Let's hear you assign responsibility instead of rationalizations in the Foley affair.
For starters, sister Michelle Malkin, preach that Democrats and the media are ever bit as responsible as the GOP. "It makes Republicans who downplay the messages -- and Democrats and journalists who sat on them -- look recklessly flippant about sexual predation."
Brother Tony Perkins, president of the conservative Family Research Council (FRC), said on CNN that while "there's no defense of this behavior ... it shouldn't be totally surprising when we hold up tolerance and diversity as the guidepost for public life." The staunch anti-gay activist also said "
his is what you end up getting: a congressman chasing 16-year-old boys down the halls of Congress." Hallelujah, brother, a gay Republican Congressman wouldn't be hitting on young boys if it hadn't been for liberals advocating tolerance of gays instead of beating the stuffing out of them.
The mighty Wall Street Journal editorialized that "in today's politically correct culture, it's easy to understand how senior Republicans might well have decided they had no grounds to doubt Mr. Foley merely because he was gay and a little too friendly in emails. Some of those liberals now shouting the loudest for Mr. Hastert's head are the same voices who tell us that the larger society must be tolerant of private lifestyle choices . . ." Blame it once again on the liberals that an adult man was trying to have sex with a minor. We liberals are all for predatory pedophiles having the rights to sexually exploit children. Foley is not responsible for his personal behavior. Liberals are.
