I think Foley should be required to disclose name of his abuser. |
|
Firstly, I don't believe the story for a minute since it's waaaay toooo convenient. However if he was himself victimized as a child he has a moral obligation to name the offender. It is outrageous in my opinion that he is shielding the offender's identity.

4. Lawyer would not reveal the clergyman's religion so it can't |
|
be assumed he was a priest. His lawyer said he was't even going to say whether the cleryman was Christian, Muslim!

11. Okay, as soon as they find any dead person that they can tie |
|
to an established religion, they'll name 'em.
I wasn't picking on catholics. I was one. It's just that shitloads of people here told me he use to attend Mass. So thinking from point a to b, I figured it would have to be a catholic he'd pin it on.

12. And I think that is exactly what repukes are counting on people to do. |
|
IMO repukes are betting that people will just assume as you did it was a priest because Foley was raised Catholic. By betting that people will make this assumption, repukes can be confident that soon people believe this to be a fact. Can you see how devious this is? Repukes simply make an innuendo that Foley was abused by a clergyman and people unthinkingly fill in the blanks.
Repukes don't need any facts to corroborate the story because people will forget that neither the offender's religion nor his name was never mentioned.

2. didn't you hear what his lawyer said |
|
Foley will conveniently be away and completely inaccessable for the next month (til the election is over).
I say: "fuck that, prosecute his ass and drag him outta his hiding hole"
and I quote: "you can run, but you can't hide."

Look, if he was good enough to be a well-paid politician just a few days ago, then he's good enough to respond to questions.

8. I don't care if stays in the facility till hell freezes over but he |
|
should be required to name name's, not only to substantiate his story but to enable other children who might have been victimized by the same man to come forward.
