He can believe in those things and still be gay, can't he?
not according to the conservative stance on the "cause" of homosexuality. THAT's the hypocrisy.
Which "cause" are you referring to? I have heard many.
the one that would make it hypocritical: gay is a "choice".
I still don't see that if you believe one can choose to be gay, they are being hypocritical here. Foley would probably say that his own molestation has psycologically scarred him, making it difficult to change his behavior, if in fact he believes homosexuality is a choice.
Making a broad generalization about conservative beliefs is comical, just as it is to make a broad generalization about liberals.

No, but his political party does.
According to Fox News there is some question about which party he belongs to! Last night on the O'Reilly program, Foley was shown on three occasions with a label identifying him as a Democrat from Florida. Well, maybe if they say it often enough, some people may believe it.
Were they pointing out that another station had made a mistake?

Just read the transcript. I saw nothing that said Democrat. I would have to see it to know what you are talking about. Are you suggesting they did this on purpose to paint Democrat's in a negative light? If so, they better retract that. Based on some of the minion's comments we know that this is a Republican/ Democrat issue and not an issue of bad vs good.

As I said, it was a label, not a statement. They showed a clip of Foley with the label "D-FL." after his name. You can find the clips on the internet.
I have no way of knowing whether it was deliberate, but I haven't heard that Fox has acknowledged the mislabeling.

I didn't see the clip but could they have been showing a clip from the time when Foley was a Democrat a while back? Cable news networks would seem to be too nuanced in their biases to do something so obviously wrong. All the networks up to this point in time correctly id'ed him as a Republican.

At work, can't go there. Come to think of it, these types of missteps happen often. Remember when CNN had the big red X through Bush, there are some other examples of rogue people in back offices thinking this kind of thing is funny.

That's what gets to me the most -- the hypocrisy. Publicly attacking a lifestyle and privately engaging in it.
Did Rep Foley publically attack the lifestyle?
No, but his political party does.
So, the Democrats are not on record opposing sexual solicitation of minors??? Wow - is that in the official platform?

Rep. Foley voted to bar gays from the Boy Scouts
I didn't know that Boy Scout membership was ever a subject of legislative approval.

Just another example of the idiocy that goes on in Washington. This may have been initiated to address the discrimination charge so that they could continue to use public schools as meeting places. Anyway, when Muslims take over the world, this will no longer be an issue.

When the Democrats take over power in January they will immediately search out and rid Congress of all child predators in either party. Pelosi said so today.

TICG, all of your hateful and spiteful comments are really delving into the realm of ridiculous lately and you're seemingly starting to lose some credibility. JMO.

That is why he is now labled a minion. A minion is an enemy of "lesser" ability.

Lets see, and between Clinton and Bush, which one left office in disgrace for actually doing these things?

Ahhh, sad to say but right you are. It takes a certain kind of disgusting human being to be a life long politician. What must our forefathers think!

..Which one invaded a country under false pretenses?
Which one has made our country one known for engaging in torture?
Which one imprisoned American citizens without trial or the right to an attorney?
Which one turned a record surplus into a massive deficit?
Which one conducts electronic surveillance on Americans without a warrant?
Which one has violated the Geneva Convention?
Clinton had a personally embarrassing sex scandal, Bush has embarrassed our country.
