Democrats Find Their Human Shield For the Foley Scandal (1 Viewer)

[aquapub]

There is not one shred of evidence suggesting that the Republican leadership had seen the kind of perverse instant messages Foley has resigned over. So naturally, Nancy Pelosi and her fellow Democrats have begun demanding the resigneation of the House Speaker for not being psychic.

Apparently they think Hastert should have been psychic enough to be more "ethical" about sex scandals...like Nancy Pelosi and her fellow Democrats were when they rewarded Gerry Studds (D) NOT FOR SENDING EMAILS, but for HAVING SEX WITH a minor by voting to give him a prominent chairmanship in the House (not to mention their handling of Clinton's umpteen accusations from card-carrying Democrats of rape, sexual harrassment, and their handling of the Reynolds scandal, etc., etc.-you've all seen the outrageous list of liberal scandalhypocrisy by now).

Their arguments are always contradictory and based on hysteria, conspiracy theories.

This is why they always need a human shield. A human shield is a person so sympathetic that no one would dare challenge their idiotic assertions while they lie through their teeth and say vicious things about Republicans-

"Cindy Sheehan lost a son, we have to let her lie about the president or we'll look uncaring,"..."John Murtha was in the war, so we can't call his retreatism visionless and cowardly,"...etc.

Democrat arguments require silencing tactics like this-it's the only way they can ever feel like they've won an argument.

They've finally introduced their human shield for the Foley scandal:

"Patty Wetterling's son Jacob disappeared in October of 1989 and has yet to be found."


Here's the kind of idiotic statement THIS human shield is being allowed to state-in direct contradiction to the facts:

"Republicans knowingly ignored the welfare of children to protect their own power."

No facts, no evidence, just hysteria and conspiracy theories.

:rofl Those nasty Liberals, huh? Led by that bastion of Liberalism, The Washington Times:

The Washingon Times, hardly the voice of Liberal America has called for Speaker Hassert's resignation over his cover-up of Rep. Foley's pedophile activities. Here's part of what the Washington Times wrote:

Quote:
Red flags emerged in late 2005, perhaps even earlier, in suggestive and wholly inappropriate e-mail messages to underage congressional pages. His aberrant, predatory -- and possibly criminal -- behavior was an open secret among the pages who were his prey. The evidence was strong enough long enough ago that the speaker should have relieved Mr. Foley of his committee responsibilities contingent on a full investigation to learn what had taken place, whether any laws had been violated and what action, up to and including prosecution, were warranted by the facts. This never happened.

Rep. John Shimkus of Illinois, the Republican chairman of the House Page Board, said he learned about the Foley e-mail messages "in late 2005." Rep. John Boehner of Ohio, the leader of the Republican majority, said he was informed of the e-mail messages earlier this year. On Friday, Mr. Hastert dissembled, to put it charitably, before conceding that he, too, learned about the e-mail messages sometime earlier this year. Late yesterday afternoon, Mr. Hastert insisted that he learned of the most flagrant instant-message exchange from 2003 only last Friday, when it was reported by ABC News. This is irrelevant. The original e-mail messages were warning enough that a predator -- and, incredibly, the co-chairman of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children -- could be prowling the halls of Congress. The matter wasn't pursued aggressively. It was barely pursued at all. Moreover, all available evidence suggests that the Republican leadership did not share anything related to this matter with any Democrat.

1) 99% of the people calling for Hastert to resign are liberals like Nancy Pelosi, who voted to reward Gery Studds for having sex with a page. Saying, "Someone initially agreed with me" :notlook: doesn't change that.

A small handful of conservatives had a knee-jerk compulsion to punish someone (after the left's handling of THEIR last 5 sex scandals, I know principles are alien to liberals, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on that one).

2) After the facts came out and it became clear that the emails Hastert saw weren't at all like the disturbing ones Foley resigned over, conservatives started relenting on Hastert's resignation.

“You know, you say that Speaker Hastert has won a reprieve from you. You're no longer calling for his resignation. But if he doesn't step down, then who does take responsibility for this?”

AGAIN...These emails are not the graphic instant messages Foley got into trouble for. The ones you are talking about here are nothing like those emails.

Like I said, not a shred of evidence :mrgreen:
