It's official: It's not just us...and it's not just mothers |
|
Rick Sanchez on CNN just expressed outrage @ the gop for referring to the Foley e-mails as "naughty". He said, "I'm speaking as a parent".
Yep, the gop's plan of down playing this isn't going to set well with parents--any parents.

3. The look of disgust on many of the "journalists'" faces tells the tale |
|
Many of their faces are litterally curling up in disgust. Yep, this is not going to set well with any parents.

12. Carni, I had the same feeling |
|
I tried to read them but felt as though I was going to throw up after only a few lines. Foley was describing HOW he masturbates, for crying out loud! That's way past "naughty", in my opinion.
:puke:

The last 12 years accruing power by manipulating cognitive responses in the electorate. However, eventually you go to the well one too many times with that sort of thing. Why? Because this story and their manipulations are running up against the results of cognitive manipulations they have run in the past.

Bush's line about how "They want to hurt your family, Matt!" takes on a whole new meaning.

5. Such a lovely boomerang |
|
One of the big "fear, fear, fear" topics of late has been INTERNET PERVERTS!
"Be afraid! They are out there! The Internet is crawling with them!! Get your kids off My Space!"
Now it turns out, one of the pervs they've been warning us about is a GOP Congressman!
They set themselves up. Of course this is not going to play well with parents. Love it.

7. I agree... they're just digging themselves deeper. |

It's actually fun to watch, for once.

9. Bay Buchanan was on last night |

She also couldn't say quick enough, "as a mother...." It's kind of fun watching them squirm.

13. don't you just love those GrOPer values? |
|
flash back to the media-fest, the blood in the water surrounding GrOPer impeachment of Clinton....
The outrage, the indignity, the bible-thumping over moral values...
and now we find Foley's "predatory" practices where known as far back at 2001.. not a peep from the GrOPer leadership
They emerge again in 2005 - GrOPer leadership sits on it, buries it
OOPS - pops up again and this time with e-mails and instant messages all over the news media...
GrOPer response - is it outrage? is it indignity? are they waving their bibles?
No they are spinning it, tut-tuting it as 'just e-mails' and using their bibles to cover their butts..
the elephant they use as a mascot should be replaced by a Hippotomous as in HIPPO-crytes...

14. Torture is A-Okay, but just don't send a "naughty" e-mail or nasty IMs! |
|
One sure way to piss off parents! Let's talk about the 15 y/o Iraqi boy tortured by US soldiers, Ricky? "Nasty e-mails and naughty IMs to a 16 y/o are OUTRAGEOUS. And it is but the torture being condoned by parents in this Country is worse, imo.
