From the October 2 broadcast of The Rush Limbaugh Show:
LIMBAUGH: I'm just thinking out loud here. What if somebody got to the page and said, you know, we want you to set Foley up. We need to do a little titillating thing here. Keep it and save it and so forth. How would you get a kid to do that? Yeah, who knows? You threaten him or pay him. There's any number of ways given the kind of people that we're dealing with and talking about here.
Now, folks, I don't want to be misunderstood here. I'm not trying to mount any kind of a defense. That's a bad word. I'm not trying to get into a defense of what Mark Foley did. Please don't misunderstand. I'm just telling you that the -- the -- the orgy and the orgasm that has been taking place in the media since Friday and with the Democrats is -- it's all coordinated, and it's all -- it's all oriented toward the election. There's no concern about the kid -- no concern about the children.
There is -- there is -- there's not even any real problem with what Foley did, as we've discussed.

So you say. Right up until you need one. Then all of a sudden we're heroes and the best friend you ever had.
the law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal bread.
The GOP knows how perverted the American people are because after all the GOP is made up of pervs who get re-elected. Knowing how perverted they are they need to protect America from itself - while allowing them some perks of power because the GOP elite can handle their perversions a lot better than the little people. Does that about sum it up, Dog?

I wrote it this morning, but I've written versions of it before.

Normal men wouldn't seduce a 16 year old male page, enticed or not, now would they? if foley's such a reputable character, why were they warning pages back in 2001 to stay away from him?
As are judges.
I stopped listening to Limbaugh after I heard him defend the torture at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo. Somebody has got quite a hold on Limbaugh, to get him going from bad to worse. And this time I doubt if much of his audience agrees with him. Beyond going against his own professional interests. He does better shows when he has Democrats in power to attack.

Naw, he's just a shill. Employing some Standard Shill Scandal Defenses: 1. It didn't happen. 1a. Look at the source, he's (partisan, unreliable, dishonest, a traitor) 2. If it happened, it's no big deal. 3. If it happened and it's a big deal, it was isolated and we didn't know about it. 4. If it happened, was a big deal and we knew about it, there was no cover up. 5. If it happened, was a big deal, we knew about it and we covered it up, the other side does it just as much as we do. 6. If it happened, was a big deal, we knew about it, we covered it up, and the other side doesn't do it, it's because we were set up by the other side. 7. It's all a conspiracy by the other side. 8. Both sides are just as bad. 9. The other side is worse. 10. We did it, we're really sorry, but the other side is making a bigger deal about it than it is. 11. It was bad, but look over there! That's something REALLY bad! Keep this list handy. On it you will find just about every shill defense offered by the shills of each party when a scandal breaks. You can even write up your own defenses. In this piece Limbaugh employs nos. 2, 7, 8, 10 and 11. Gotta hand it to him, though. He's got his list down pat.

no, a shill has a limit. this monster is a psychopath. like the germans after wwII, seeing the mass graves, believing it to be a setup. a pychopath is a sociopath who will advocate any evil.

Actually, I was going to edit it after I got your email, but it was too late. I really did take what you said to heart, but time to change the title had expired. The other side of this deal is that I'm pretty much pro-obscenity when it is an appropriate response to shock the sensibilities of the reader to an outrage. I found what Limbaugh said to be completely outrageous. And after I read "All Quiet on the Western Front" I came away with the conviction that taking offense at language is superfluous when what really matters are questions of life, death and in this particular instance, the seduction and sodomizing of young men (and the subsequent justification of it by apologists like Limbaugh). After a while the men in the war flipped ammo boxes over and crapped right in front of each other. Not because they were degraded, but because the dross of societal norms had been stripped away and the core of what it means to be human had been revealed to them. Am I justifying my use of offensive language and imagery? Perhaps. But I think about a confused young man, hardly more than a boy, getting emails from a perverted old bastard like Foley, and I think about eleven members of congress sweeping it under the rug and not investigating it, and I think about Limbaugh calling it "no big deal"... It pisses me off. I mean it pisses me off almost enough to use ALL CAPS. So I'm sincerely sorry if I've offended you or made you think less of me, but I'd rather you have a diminished idea of who I am than have a false impression of me.

I'm not sure what Foley will be charged with exactly. Age of consent in DC is 16. Foley's IM's/email's, while "tittilating" to quote El Rushbow, are not showing Foley to be offering the intern $ for sex. And as to the issue of sexual harrassment, Foley was not the employer of the interns. So even though Foley is a disgusting perv with pedophile potential, who deserved to be forced out of Congress, what laws did he break? I'm playing devil's advocate...
Foley's IM's/email's, while "tittilating" to quote El Rushbow, are not showing Foley to be offering the intern $ for sex. And as to the issue of sexual harrassment, Foley was not the employer of the interns. Utterly irrelevant. This is what FR is pushing out now. Foley was soliciting sex with a minor on the internet under the applicable Federal Law. Foley was the acting supervisor of the intern. Money for sex is just another red herring from FreeRepublic. If you solicit a kid for sex, it is not necessary for money to change hands to support the charge.
nah, language is a tool. look, if you state in an article that 'rep foley sought to sodomize young pages' it has one effect. if you were to say 'rep foley sought to assbang young pages' it has a completely different, more powerful effect. one that will get the bluehaired bible thumping bitches off their asses in outrage. part of our biggest problem is not calling things what people understand them to mean. balls. the biggest bunch of horseshit in washington is these pukes saying 'he may have been inaccurate' when the thing they should be saying is 'he's a liar'. no one wants to call things what they are because of civility or whatever. look, dressing it up in non specific terms does nothing for truth. foley wanted to have sex with, fellate, whatever the hell you want to call it, with these kids. only lawyers want to gild a turd.

For those who care; Hastert will be 'circling the wagons' on Limbaugh's show at 1:30...should be great theatre.
the funny thing is is that limbaugh is destroying any credibility he had left. he's another closet case.

You can't. Accordingly, he's not an honest, moral person. He's a sicko.

yep, all that with one hand tied behind his narcotically induced deaf, viagra taking brain. what a sick bastard. gonna defend this shit, while going off on clinton for hetero sex with an of age woman. no wonder clinton said it was no big deal. he wasn't trying to buttpork sixteen year old boys.

Well, I appreciate the sentiment, but this is still the United States of America, and the GOP hasn't quite gotten around to outlawing defense attorneys, reversing the presumption of innocence or doing away with jury trials; but give them time. Your budding little GOP Stalinists will soon have the police state you long for, given time.

I wonder how much of his audience was willing to go along with that part of his schpiel. I mean, I know they are "dittoheads"... but molesting sixteen year old boys? Tough to justify that one.

Foley was soliciting sex with a minor on the internet under the applicable Federal Law. Foley was the acting supervisor of the intern. Money for sex is just another red herring from FreeRepublic. If you solicit a kid for sex, it is not necessary for money to change hands to support the charge. I am not sure what FR "is pushing." I was simply being curious about what charges a federal prosecutor could level against Foley and win in court. a) Was Foley actually soliciting sex from a minor on the internet? I'll grant you that Foley made some very suggestive lurid comments, but did Foley actually "solicit sex?" In one case - as listed in this article - even the parents of the page did not want any action taken against Foley at the time. And the kid involved thought the communications from Foley were "creepy" but that was the extent of it. b) This July the FBI received copies of the emails that Foley sent the Louisiana teenager in 2005 but the FBI chose NOT to pursue an investigation. Why do you think the FBI would not jump on this??? - perhaps because there was not enough evidence re: any crime being committed??? http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp- dyn/content/article/2006/10/02/AR2006100200333.html "FBI Knew in July About Foley E-Mails to Teen" October 03, 2006 Washington Post "...The FBI acknowledged yesterday that it did not begin an investigation in late July after receiving copies of e-mails sent in 2005 by then-Rep. Mark Foley (R-Fla.) to a Louisiana teenager..." c) Foley was not an "acting supervisor" of the interns. Where did you read that to be the case? d) Get your self-righteous shorts un-twisted. I am not a mindless freetard. I am not defending Foley's actions. I am only "putting out there" the possibility that it will be hard to prosecute Foley on any criminal charges and win. And this will not be because a wiley CDA is using technicalities to get Foley off. It may be that Foley's actions, while reprehensible, are not breaking any laws. Kapeesh?
Utterly irrelevant. This is what FR is pushing out now.

Yes, read the emails about sending pictures dressed in underwear, masturbation methods, measuring members and scheduled meetings. People are serving long sentences for much less. This July the FBI received copies of the emails that Foley sent the Louisiana teenager in 2005 but the FBI chose NOT to pursue an investigation. Why do you think the FBI would not jump on this??? - perhaps because there was not enough evidence re: any crime being committed??? This is the FR email/IM game. What the FBI did was begin an observation. This is what they always do in this situation. The original emails were probably too ambiguous for the criminal standard of proof. They would have moved on a normal person, but probably waited to get more on a powerful person such as Foley. Foley was not an "acting supervisor" of the interns. Where did you read that to be the case? They worked for Foley's office. Foley supervised the office. This rule of agency is used everyday in harassment cases. This isn't going to fool anyone. You need something else here. As you know, you don't even need the supervisor position to support a harassment claim. A co-worker or even a subordinate can do it.
a) Was Foley actually soliciting sex from a minor on the internet?

Oh el limpo............its not a conspiracy when sharks circle the victim(s). Remember----it wasn't a conspiracy when the 'r' sharks thought they smelled clinton's blood, and indirectly the 'd's blood cause y'all thought it would be a way to eliminate more demowits? Besides, based on what I'm reading of late, anything to with boys and/or drugs wouldn't seem to bother you.
#44. To: bluedogtxn (#0)
Ain't that the truth..........I haven't heard a talking point reader discuss the children at all! It has been non-stop cover yer ass time for the 'r's.

I'n not a criminal attorney, nor do I know ALL of the details about what he wrote. But I do know Foley will lose any civil case brought against him for mental anguish and harrassment. And I pray the son of a bitch gets slammed multiple times for millions of dollars. One aside...a "righteous democrat" had the nads to actually say on CBS news that "Foley should be punished by at least losing his leadership position." BWAHAHAHAHA!! Does anyone need any more proof the Drat and Rrats are butt buddies in the same club ????????????????????
It may be that Foley's actions, while reprehensible, are not breaking any laws

Here is your crime: Former Congressman Mark Foley (R-FL) interrupted a vote on the floor of the House in 2003 to engage in Internet sex with a high school student who had served as a congressional page, according to new Internet instant messages provided to ABC News by former pages.
#49. To: It Is A Republic (#9)
Amen, and I am glad to hear that!!!! Too many who call themselves Repubs or even worse - Conservatives - have been defending this indefensible conduct by Foley and those who cover for him. I'm glad to see that you have limits and principles on this issue, and want to see the same behavior condemned on both sides.
not at all..... I say while it is on the front page, get them all .......... treat them all the same ....... this happened frequently while the Dems had power and the perps were all re-elected ..... Clinton pardoned one perp (Reynolds) when he left office .... he won re-election but was convicted on 12 counts of sexual assault, obstruction of justice and solicitation of child pornography, was sentenced to five years in prison, then he resigned ...... he was later hired by Jesse Jackson ...... I guess that rainbow has a soft spot for underage child porn perps ....... Get them all!!!!!

This is the FR email/IM game. What the FBI did was begin an observation. This is what they always do in this situation. The original emails were probably too ambiguous for the criminal standard of proof. They would have moved on a normal person, but probably waited to get more on a powerful person such as Foley. They worked for Foley's office. Foley supervised the office. This rule of agency is used everyday in harassment cases. a) Maybe those adults you refer to who were convicted committed their crimes in states where age of consent allowed prosecutors to try them as pedophiles. Age of consent laws vary by state jurisdiction, as you know. b) "The original emails were probably too ambiguous for the criminal standard of proof." Yes, that's what I said earlier. And I would suggest to you that even the IM's that Foley sent the second kid still make for a difficult case to prosecute. It's my understanding that the second kid in question - the San Diego one who got the lurid IM's - was a few weeks shy of being 18 when the IM's initially started and that the alleged contact happened with the kid AFTER he turned 18. Please consider the quotation attributed to Foley's lawyer in the Washington Post article I linked to: ..."Roth, interviewed last night on CNN, said that Foley is "absolutely, positively not a pedophile" and "has never, ever had an inappropriate sexual contact with a minor in his life." ... c) Regarding the issue of "sexual harrassment" in the work place, please consider that other pages are now challenging what Matthew Loraditch, a page in the 2001-2002 class, told ABC News regarding Foley. And Mr. Loraditch himself is now back tracking on what he alleged in the interview: Here's what Matthew says on his MyFace site: "...The fact of the matter is in an informal situation a supervisor mentioned that Foley was a bit odd or flaky and did not connote by tone or otherwise that he should be avoided..." http://www.palmbeachpost.com/state/content/state/epaper/2006/10/02/1002p age.html "Page disputes warning about Rep. Foley" October 02, 2006 d) At this point, unless other evidence is uncovered by the FBI, I think Foley's lawyer, Mr. Roth, will be able to make piece meal of the prosecutor's case, if one even comes up, with what has been uncovered thusfar. Look, Minerva, I'm just playing devil's advocate. Don't shoot the messenger.
Yes, read the emails about sending pictures dressed in underwear, masturbation methods, measuring members and scheduled meetings. People are serving long sentences for much less.

And this time I doubt if much of his audience agrees with him. Beyond going against his own professional interests. He does better shows when he has Democrats in power to attack. Most of Limbaugh's audience are genuine conservatives, if somewhat dim to still be listening to him regularly at this point. They're good people though, and I'm sure they're as repelled by what is happening in Washington as I am. No amount of verbal jousting is going to remove the stain that has spread over the Republican party on this issue like something unsightly on a navy blue dress. I think you're right - they must have something big on Rush as he's apparently willing to sacrifice what's left of his career for it. Although I do think that part of the reason is that Limbaugh is probably part of this gay pedophile/chicken hawk crowd who genuinely sees nothing wrong with leching after vulnerable teenagers.

The evidence shows that Foley trolled for minors on the interet. This is a federal offense that defines the age of consent as being 18. Foley is one of the people who pushed these laws through. The evidence now shows that Foley did in fact have sex with an minor solicited on the internet. Poeple do ten years for just showing up in a McDonald's parking lot to meet the sting bait. I don't think you are going to be able to excuse Foley, even to truely faithful.
Maybe those adults you refer to who were convicted committed their crimes in states where age of consent allowed prosecutors to try them as pedophiles. Age of consent laws vary by state jurisdiction, as you know.

Go easy on scrapper, Minnie, he used to be a page and has brethren to defend. i.e. Just because a youngster said he had an orgasm in an IM doesn't make it so.
