"A missile straight at the heart of the republican base"

[Philosoraptor]

Howard Fineman on hardballs, referring to the Foley scandal, he says the Christian conservatives will not take this lightly.

I suspect he may be right, this may be the sexual scandal that we've been waiting for.

1. I hope it's a bunker buster

[mmonk]

2. Yep, heat seeking missile.

[unpossibles]

3. man, that headline sounds kinda...

kinky.

are you coming onto me?


(so to speak)

[Philosoraptor]

4. I don't know, what are you wearing right now?

[unpossibles]

17. hahhaa.... maybe I'm just tired and need a massage...

:sigh:

[calimary]

5. Maybe they'll take it - in the shorts, as it were.

Here's what I took aim with:

15. Yeah, like, how long is that missile?

Remember to measure!

6. I haven't heard a word from the Xtian right, have you?

Just imagine if this had been a Dem. The big stinky cheeses like Falwell, Robertson, and Dobson would be crawling all over this like maggots on carrion. You'd see at least one of them three times a day on all network and cable news channels screaming bloody murder.

Since it's a Republican, all I've heard are the crickets... chirp, chirp, chirp.

7. if it had been a Democrat they'd be screaming non stop

[ComerPerro]

10. They will blame Dems, liberals, secularists, and homosexuals

[Richard D]

11. Has Clinton been blamed yet?

[ComerPerro]

13. People have said this is no different than the Lewinsky scandal

so, in a way, yes, Clinton has been blamed.

"This isn't the first time a politician has been caught being inappropriate with an intern", blah blah blah, all that bullshit is all over the media.

But Monica is a consenting female adult that (apparently) reciprocated the relationship...

16. k&r

[devilgrrl]

8. Foley & Xtian Conservatives are two peas in a pod...

I doubt it will make a difference.

[ComerPerro]

9. Conservative Christians don't give a fuck.

Mostly because they don't really believe the shit they sell.

They just use it so they can invoke moral superiority when needed.

But they won't care about this.

If anything, they will just blame this on Democrats and homosexuals.

[ourbluenation]

12. The message loud and clear from freeptard land is DEM's fault

dem's fault dem's fault.

After making obligitory statement about what a perv Foley is.

[Flubadubya]

14. Gotta love that Repubican "personal responsibility" Party...

eh? :shrug: :eyes:
