Accuracy In Media: Republicans Protected Foley, Not Kids
http://www.aim.org/aim_column/4909_0_3_0_C/

By Cliff Kincaid | October 3, 2006

"Rather than deal with the fact that the Republican Congressional leadership has protected open and closeted homosexuals in its ranks, some conservative radio talk-show hosts are blaming the recent publicity over the Mark Foley scandal on a Democratic plot somehow linked to George Soros. They contend that Democrats engage in more horrible conduct. But these claims and charges, from partisans who put loyalty to the Republican Party over morality, are clearly designed to cover up the fact that Foley, a House Deputy Majority Whip, was known to be a homosexual and that any contacts he was having with former pages were, on their face, entirely inappropriate. House Republican leaders failed to protect the children."

1. Hell a pig just flew past my window.
Of course you know the wingnuts are taking this tack becuase it allows them to equate gays and pedophilia.
