The Silence of the Hypocrickets

At Frameshop, Jeffrey Feldman presents a pair of startling images that present an even more startling parallel.


Fifty years from now, when historians write about the social problem of sexual predators in early 21st Century America, they will put a photo of Cardinal Bernard Law next to a photo of Republican Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert.

These are men who had the chance to protect our children, but chose to protect a predator instead.

Sexually abused minors need adults to detect and rescue them from their abusers. Doctors would have an opportunity to ask questions if a girl seeks - or someone sends her for - Plan B. If the drug can be obtained easily, it removes what may be the best chance of freeing her and catching her abuser.
But oddly enough, not this time. No, according to CWA, la affaire Foley isn't about a middle-aged, politically powerful sexual predator targeting teenagers under the benign eye of the GOP party leadership at all. What it's really about is -- you guessed it -- the lurking and persistent evil of the "homosexual agenda."


"Over the weekend, news broke about Rep. Mark Foley's (R -Florida) predatory email exchanges with teenage Congressional pages. It took a full news cycle for mainstream news organizations to specify that those pages were teenage boys. While many are in shock, Peter LaBarbera, President of Americans for Truth, says that Congressman Foley's sexual orientation was no secret in Washington, D.C. LaBarbera uncovered this news for CWA in 2003.

While questions remain about whom in Washington might have been guarding Rep. Foley's secret, there is no question that the Log Cabin Republicans are now actively distancing themselves from him."

1. Okay - so the Heterosexual agenda is to blame

for bush supporters who fuck their underage daughters. And the sexual repression which is spread from the pulpit forces republican businessmen to go on "business" trips to towns with gay bathhouses. Let the mud tossing begin.

2. Why do RW idiots

Always equate perversion and pedophilia with homosexuality? Most of the GLBT folks I know would rather chew off their own foot than touch a child.

Does it then equate that if I'm straight, I must be the type to abuse children of the OPPOSITE sex? Sheesh.

3. Brilliant new word— "hypocrickets." Love it, love it, love it.
