John Walsh: "This is not about being gay, it's about pedophilia." |
|
Edited on Tue Oct-03-06 08:29 PM by Bluebear
Oops, John didn't get the GOP talking points yet. I appreciate his statement, made on LKL. Absolutely refuted Foley's actions, unlike the Republican apologists and those that covered it up.
He also mentions, though, that he is grateful that Foley never got to these kids to have sex with them, and I certainly think that is a stretch at this point.

I was worried that Walsh would be wishy-washy on this.

14. This was one area I never had a doubt about Mr. Walsh... |
|
He's been fighting this particular fight for years and is absolute about it. He's always had my respect.

He made no apologies, and said he was felt both angry and betrayed.

3. I bet after working with Foley. |
|
And having his sons name attached to that bill, i am sure Mr Walsh felt very betrayed.
Also nice to hear he did not play into the gay are perverts angle i have been hearing all day.

4. That was pretty sickening, huh? |
|
I cringed when Bay Buchanan said Foley was a known homosexual and hence a pedophile.

9. And I read she's the one who said |
|
"there's no spinning this". I guess she hadn't received her talking points yet from corporate hdq.

SAID that foley had been abused when he was 12 or 13 and that abuse at that age would not make him a pedophile, that to become a pedophile he would have had to have been abused at a much earlier age.
the man (meaning foley) wanted to know how much the kid (or kids) organ measured, he wanted to know if they were aroused, he wanted to know if they did it alone, or with someone else, and how and when.
and that, is not pedophilia?

12. Yeah i almost puked today listening to Pat Buchanan. |
|
That was his whole schtick on Tweety tonight. I have said it already to day and i'll say it again. I am not the most homosexually friendly person in the world, and i found it all pretty offensive. It's not our fault, it's the queers, oh my the scary queers! People even saying maybe gays should not even be allowed to run for office....Jeez! It is still we the people right? That would include gays to, last i checked they were people to.
I hate to think of the damage this has done to the gay communities image.

I think he is taking the "press conference" today at face value, and he is a friend of Foley's but this is wishful thinking at this point.

|
foley was all type and no action.
