Surprised it took them so long... guess who's to blame for Foley?

Yooooooooooooou guessed it - WE ARE!

Yes of course, who else could be to blame for endemic right-wing perversion other than the left? Ya see, all of our lobbying to allow consenting adults to be trusted to make their own sexual decisions is the real reason why repugs are a bunch of kiddie fiddlers! Who knew? Honestly, what with the left wing constantly legislating for basic adult sexual freedom, who can blame the right-wingers who condemn us for getting all confused and engaging in fucked-up predatory 'grooming'? Poor little things! I'm straight, but when I hear that gay marriage might be legalized, it almost makes me want to go out and seduce 14-year-old boys just like any red-blooded repub male would! Oh the irony!

1. They seem to forget he was a REPUBLICAN?

Idiots.

So does the fact that they "tolerate" consensual adult relationships make pedophilia ok?

[YOY]

2. Somehow they will tie in Bill Clinton

I have no fricking idea how, but they will.

[TornadoTN]

7. They already have

The Clenis started all of this, according to them. Plus, The Clenis was worse because it was a poor, barely legal intern that he seduced in the oval office.

This all according to their logic, of course.

[YOY]

9. Wasn't Monica 24-years-old? So that's barely legal???

n/t

[TornadoTN]

10. Hey, that's your math, not theirs!

According to Ben Stein and others, Monica was "barely legal" and Democrats set this whole thing up.

Now, Foley on the other hand was set-up and misunderstood.

3. you know, i know and THEY{the republick party} know

that the best friend of any sort of child abuse -- sexual, physical, emotional -- whatever -- is social conservatism.

whether that conservatism is wrapped in religion or not -- a conservative is the best friend a child abuser, predator what ever will ever have.

[madmusic]

8. Maybe that's why they HATE sex education? n/t

[xchrom]

13. what i know is that it's 2006.

they aren't ignorant except that they want to be.

they know that the women's movement -- gay rights -- and the sexual revolution dragged child abuse out into the sunlight.

conservatism has no mechanism for doing this.

the greatest enemy of social conservatism is the lack of an active enmy -- and the MANUFACTURED enemy of social conservatives are feminist women and gay folk.

with those two enemies they can concoct a war on christmas, a war on family values, a war on christians, etc.

11. Ha, well said...

As I always say, if you open the closet door of any loud-mouthed "values" conservative even slightly, a great big stack of the vilest porn you've ever seen will fall out...

[MindPilot]

4. We know it was only a matter of time...

Before some re-pump-yer-kin would marry his mule.

[liberal N proud]

5. They are grasping at straws

:rofl:

[rock]

6. Well, if it was their fault they'd say so

They are the party of "personal responsibility" you know. (Of course, they are also the party of hypocrasy, so it's a little hard to sort out.)

[kiki]

12. "Personal responsibility"... as in:

"Personally, I think Clinton's responsible."
