New spin on Foley from Freeperville:

[leftyladyfrommo]

This was just all a Democratic plot to make the Republicans look bad right before the elections.

The story must have been broken by a Democrat - given to ABC News.

Story was probably held for who knows how long until right now - so we could do the most damage.

Actually - what they are describing sounds more like something they would do.

1. Umm, It is Clinton's fault.

:grr:

[TornadoTN]

4. They have been trying that angle all day

Trying to bring Clinton and Democrats into the same sentence every time they make some weak attempt to downplay the seriousness of this matter.

9. The Clenis

He set a bad example and impressionable young Mark Foley just got lured into a life of depravity, aided by the porn which the ACLU has been defending for years.

This is exactly what happens when you take prayer out of the schools, and spanking too :spank:

Uh oh. Is Rush reading DU? :scared:

Or just writing on it? :hide: O8) (edit, I had to look that up. Apparently it is O not 0 :dunce:

[hfojvt]

2. that George Soros is a tricky one

:tinfoilhat:

[npincus]

3. the victims were Republicans

Republicans have Republican pages, Dems have Dem pages...

How do those mrons spin that?

[kestrel91316]

11. It's like Foley KNEW that party loyalty would keep the

victims and families from going to the proper authorities.

Like any good child molester, he chose his victims carefully.

[BattyDem]

5. Still no outrage over Foley's actions - only that they were made public

:eyes:

[DRoseDARs]

6. Well yeah the story was held... by House Republicans for @ least a year...

...and perhaps as much as the past 5 years! Bloody hell. :puke:

[BOSSHOG]

7. The bumbling racists and perverts and criminals of the grand old party

do not need any help from the loyal opposition to "look bad" right before the elections.

Can we surmise that regardless of the bad news and perversion involved that free republic members would still vote for foley if he were still a candidate? No doubt, he reflects their "values."

The only member of the Page committee that didn't know about foley's follys was the only democrat on it.

[Miss Chybil]

8. Fuck Freepers. nt

[leftyladyfrommo]

10. No thanks - but they are too much fun to ignore. n/t

[CoffeeCat]

12. Way to take responsibility!

Geez, the Freepers are pathetic.

They'll nail Clinton to the wall. They'll lambaste welfare moms for failing to
be responsible. They'll tout "individual accountability" when it comes to poor
people who just need to work harder.

However, when it comes to pedophile Congressmen in their own party--they blame
the Dems.

What a bunch of intellectually stunted clowns.

13. And they're saying the e-mails are altered

Foleygate : Mark Foley emails altered


***Updates at the bottom***

Who altered the Mark Foley emails?

The Congressman Mark Foley child sex scandal keeps getting stranger by the minute. I am starting to think it should be called Foleygate. Someone has altered the emails that Mark Foley is accused of sending to a congressional page. Look for yourself:


This is a picture of the email that was originally posted at Stop Sex Predators.

(I have marked the differences with red arrows. Click to enlarge)

Foleygate email

And here is a screen capture of the email from a pdf file from Citizens For Ethics website.

Foleygate email

One of the emails could be an original but one set of the emails has been retyped to look very close to the other email. They are not complete matches. You can make a side by side comparison of all of the emails and they all have errors like this.

Update: Great minds think alike, justbarkingmad.com has come to the same conclusion.

Update #2: Flopping Aces has come to a similar conclusion and 186k Per Second.

Update #3: Welcome Hot Air readers. I have contacted Allah about some more information that I have that I think needs to be released. Check this post for a hint of what I have and believe needs to be released.

Update #4: Welcome lgf readers. I can't believe I even have to say this, but it seems some people (Liberals) are suggesting that I am trying to defend Foley. That is ridiculous. I am just pointing out that there are some serious questions that need to be answered about this story.

[ima_sinnic]

14. oh right, now they're going to try the old "IBM selectric" trick that

worked so well on Dan Rather. Look at the poor pathetic *bots trying to spin gold out of S**T!
freekin dumb@$$es.

[frylock]

15. i'm sure little green shitballs is working this angle hard

[Tarheel_Dem]

16. the appropriate response to #4 is....

Let's have a full-scale investigation, turn over every rock, verify the authenticity, and get to the truth.

They don't want an investigation.

[Hav]

20. .

Hm I checked it out. First, besides the emails, there are still the IMs that are until now more explicit and that basically say the same (wished to meed the kids).
From the pictures it also seems as if the adresses were different. There is way more blacked out in one of the emails. Maybe he just wrote the same shit to different kids.
It is also strange that one email seems to be the corrected version. So whatever, the content is the same and they are still protecting this freak.


Meanwhile...
Update #5: Looks like the scum at Democratic Underground have found me. Get ready for left wing insanity.

[Synnical]

21. I'm guessing the e-mails were forwarded

and that is why the formatting is different. Do we know the source of the e-mails yet, other than a blog site, which was then reported by ABC?

[tanyev]

17. Ha! There are barely any prominent Democrats out there

with functioning spines, much less the chops to pull off something like this.

[beyurslf]

18. I actually heard it compaired ot the Monica Lewinsky scandal on Fox

today. I was waiting for a meeting and the news on there was reporting it. They were saying how it is a sex scnadal like with Clinton and it will have staying power. In my head, I was thinking how is a consenual affair between 2 adults anything like a perverted pedophile preying on teenagers?
I suppose it should have staying power....

[dkofos]

19. They make it sound like a republcon plot
