FAUX has been saying Foley is going to "backfire" on Dems..

[liberaliraqvet26]

i confess i've been watching a lot of FOX this weekend. I've been wanting to see how they are gonna spin their way out of this one. It seems that their talking point is that the Dems bringing up the subject and demanding an investigation is going to somehow backfire on them.

They are insisting the emails that Hastert/Reynolds saw were "innocent" and he had no way of knowing Foley was a predator.

They are bringing up Mckinney and the cop, William Jefferson and his freezercash, and the situations from the 1980's.

I almost cannot believe what I am hearing.

[iconoclastic cat]

1. Wow, are they desperate and panicky.

All that finger-pointing must be giving them a cramp.

[babylonsister]

2. Knuckleheads. Foley did this by/to himself, with no help from Dems.

I don't see how it could be spun otherwise despite their best efforts.

[aquart]

3. So, ask them who SHOULD be bringing up a pedophile in Congress?

Who SHOULD be investigating a Congressman who comes on to teenage boys?

WHY IS FOX SOFT ON CHILD MOLESTING?

[liberaliraqvet26]

7. they are only soft on it when Repukes are involved...

otherwise they want to hang them in at a college footbal halftime show.

[Straight Shooter]

4. Foley needs psychiatric attention.

But there's no excuse for the coverup by Boehner, Hastert, and we don't know who else participated in the coverup.

Pox News can shove their spin right up their lying little *cough*

[bluestateguy]

5. Remember the Bush drunk driving arrest story that came out in 2000?

This coverup was discovered by an eccentric free lance journalist in Maine about 4 days before the election. What did Fox do? They spent all of their time investigating the guy who legally obtained the information, rather than the fact that a major party presidential candidate covered up his criminal record from the American people.

[petronius]

6. Yeah - a D is going to have to do the hard work of representing

Foley's district. Other than that "backfire," Faux is just spitting into the wind...

[Mist]

8. The Dems are demanding an investigation because the Repub. House

leadership refused to investigate months ago.

[Renew Deal]

9. McKinney was replaced in a primary, Jefferson wasn't charged

and Iran-Contra.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

10. no no no. Not this time.

The worm has turned. I can actually feel it.

[bigdarryl]

11. These rethugs have no decency

Man this is nuts to defend this guy.

[C_U_L8R]

12. dare to deny

what's that they say when there's a big stink...

he who denied it supplied it ?

[Arkana]

13. I really fail to see how Cynthia McKinney, a soon-to-be former Rep,

and William Jefferson will somehow balance a stinking, hypocritical pederast.

[hlthe2b]

14. Even among their otherwise "lobotomized" audience...

I don't see the parents buying the defense of sexual predation among the Repug leadership...








Of course, they are merely waiting for their "Xian" gurus to bless it all-- I suppose if Dobson comes out and somehow explains it all away, the Pugs will be free sailing once again...:eyes:

[The_Casual_Observer]

15. They are just trying to be "Fair and balanced" right?

[Vinca]

16. I cannot think of any story worse than a pervert Congressman

stalking a page. Faux can spin all they want; this incident hits most voters close to home. What parent wouldn't think about their own child in such a situation?

[scarface2004]

17. if foley were a dem...

would the use the same crap? thought so.

21. infogirl, you are a one-note wonder, you know that?

Buh-bye. :eyes:

19. Let them try to justify child abuse and molestation by one of their own

Fox is digging a hole so deep even Murdoch will never be able to get back up from down under.

[yardwork]

23. Murdoch is in it for his own profit

When the worm turns, Murdoch turns with it. One day Faux News might not be on the White House payroll any longer. If Murdoch can make more money without them, he will.

[wiley]

24. Right you are. Faux News is just a cover for the porn shows they also

broadcast. That's why the Pukes got SO flipped out that Murdoch was giving some Dems contributions. Even they know that they are perceived as put out for Rupie or get shut out pawns.

[burythehatchet]

20. once their party is out of power, they will be a

less than worthless infotainment outlet like E or the Food Channel.

[restorefreedom]

22. why get your blood pressure up?

I've set my remote to skip over the faux news network.

Since I dont watch, I would have guessed that either they are in complete denial or a full blown panic.

From your description, sounds like the latter.

[Awsi Dooger]

25. Same here

Channel 21 doesn't exist unless I intentionally go there by clicking the specific numerals. I've gone months and months without doing that but lately it's been once every couple weeks for a quick laugh.
