 Stewart Lampoons GOP’s Harboring of FoleyPosted on Oct 3, 2006
Republicans of all stripes have been scrambling in recent days to respond to the Foley fiasco, including Newt Gingrich, who says the House leadership would have been accused of gay-bashing had it aggressively addressed Foley’s misdeeds. On “The Daily Show,” Stewart snapped back: “And by the way, equating a 52-year-old congressman who preys on 16-year-olds with being gay may be one reason the GOP is accused of gay-bashing.” Watch it: Advertisement Previous item: Foley on Predator ‘Sickos’ Next item: E-Word Creates Controversy at Christian Convention New and Improved CommentsIf you have trouble leaving a comment, review this help page.

So, the first to discover the dead body is the murderer?
Of all the lousy, stinkin’, sleazy, conniving, scummy, low-life, cowardly, craven, satanically redundant accusations the rejects from the Kingdom of God can come up with—to blame the Democrats for squealing on Foley is the creepiest and lowest and most satanic so far.
There will be a special Hell created for those people. Lucifer can’t wait for them to get there. They can all screw each other for eternity.

Just think about what Newt Gingrich said - “accused of gay bashing” - the repugs are going to spin this as a gay issue to get out the vote. They will equate pedophilia with being gay. It wouldn’t surprise me that they took down Foley as part of their game plan - maybe part of the “October surprise” - and then spin it for their base to get them out to to the polls - there are many anti-gay initiatives on state ballots.

Just desserts! All of the sane people (which are those standing up) know that the political system has been corrupted. I’m truly sorry for some who still support the War Criminal & Co. Remember the corporation who is in charge is now not liable for the war crimes that have already been committed. Just desserts!

I agree, as a victim of molestation, this is rewarding watching the GOP self-destruct trying to hide this shameful crime. I want nothing-less than everyone who is angered-by this act (and the others we don’t know-about), to get in their faces. Get ugly, get mean, because fair-play at this point is immaterial. We have to get-rid of the GOP-majority, no matter what it takes. Here in Indiana, the KK’s DC Stephenson was taken-down by a rape, the girl died. It happened on a train, and there were even witnesses. The Klan died until the 1960s, then it died-again. GOP=Guilty of Pedophilia. Kick em’ when they’re down, again-and-again-and-again…

This rulez, I hate that it happened to a kid but the scandal it produced couldn’t happen to a better group of people. The REPUGS. I just hope there is no democrate involved because this could turn into a nightmare. Less would vote and we could end up with the same congress there is now.
