Limbaugh Blames Pages For Foley’s Misconduct
Limbaugh Blames Pages For Foley’s Misconduct
Today on his radio program, Rush Limbaugh blamed Congressional pages for Mark Foley’s misconduct. He said that the communications reported by ABC were example of “young kids” who like to “make fun of gay people.” Rush’s evidence? As a child, he used to order refrigerators over the phone for adults he thought were “odd or weird” as a prank. Here’s an excerpt:
Back in these days you could call Sears and order a refrigerator on the phone. I had a teacher living up the street and it was the biggest thrill in the world to just call and order a refrigerator and watch Sears deliver it to an unsuspecting teacher and his wife, and far stranger things than that. But we always picked out adults that we just thought were odd or weird, and it would be fun to make fun of them, and I don’t think kids today are any different…
But you know as well as I do that young kids make fun of gay people. They make fun of the way they talk; they make fun of the way some of them walk and so forth. Who knows what the word around town about fellow Foley was. Who knows? We all know that young people gay bash. Young people do a lot of stuff. They don’t have the maturity to understand this kind of stuff…
I tell you, folks, you’ve got this page out there; you probably have a bunch of pages laughing and making fun of Foley and the way he comes on to them, and he’s gay and so forth, so they egg him on and so forth….
Matt Drudge is advancing the same incoherent story. At the same time, more pages are stepping forward with details of unsolicited advances from Foley. One page told ABC, “this was no prank.”

October 5th, 2006 at 6:02 pmThe e-mails that were responsible for breaking the scandal were a prank. All the others, probably not.
October 5th, 2006 at 6:03 pmActually,
The page that had the IM’s admitted that it was a prank. They did it with the intention of making fun of a gay man. This isn’t made up, the page admitted to it already. Pretty sad that our children think it is funny to make fun of someone simply for being gay.
October 5th, 2006 at 6:03 pmThus speaks Mr. Responsible Citizen. Apparently his moral values haven’t changed since he was a kid.
October 5th, 2006 at 6:03 pmYou’ve got to be kidding! So what if the Pages don’t know how serious this is. Foley is an adult. He DOES know how serious this is. The best excuse he has is “I didn’t know anyone would see the emails.” and that doesn’t make any of it any better.
Stupid fat man.
October 5th, 2006 at 6:03 pmAnyone catch the it is okay to gay bash sub-text in this speech? Not only are they saying Foley is not to blame, because it was bunch of kids having fun, but it is okay to bash gays, because well that is what kids do.
October 5th, 2006 at 6:04 pmPoor Foley. I’m sure those pages are a scary bunch. I would have resigned, checked myself into alcohol rehab, claimed to have been molested as a teen and outed myself as a gay man if I were completely innocent of any wrongdoing as well. Those Republicans are such victims! Seriously, Dems are so mean and spiteful and have all the power in DC and the media.
October 5th, 2006 at 6:04 pmBill Maher made the same assertion yesterday. Of course, he’s a comedian being funny. Oh wait, that’s Rush too.
October 5th, 2006 at 6:04 pmSo he’s always been an obnoxious bully jerk then!
“Biggest thrill in the world”?!!
“and far stranger things than that”?!!!
People actually LISTEN to this twisted individual!

ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! People will see right through this moron! You know when they lower themselves to “blame the kids” they’re all but finished!! Moves of desperation we are witnessing right now, folks.
And, I would imagine that in many a person’s mind, the fact that these adults would “blame the children” makes them complicit and criminal as well. Obviously, they have no respect for the law if this is truly how they feel.
Thank god it won’t fly legally or with the american public. It will only serve to revulse and repulse them more with each passing day to realize how “unsafe” our children are in the hands of the GOP….”if they can’t take care of our children (and keep their filty hands off of them!) then how can they possibly take care of this country?”…..
This guy is certifiably nutso!

October 5th, 2006 at 6:06 pmThe e-mails that were responsible for breaking the scandal were a prank. All the others, probably not.
What kind of prank was Foley trying to commit by sending suggestive emails and IMs to pages???? Those damn pages, forcing Foley to IM them and talk dirty!
October 5th, 2006 at 6:06 pmWhile I do not believe this IM was a scam, I do pause when I hear something Bill Maher said on CNN.
He mentioned that you can’t just think of these kids as completely innocent. Kids these days are very sexually active at very young ages – and I wouldn’t deny the possibility that the kid knew exactly what he was doing when he chatted with Foley.
But with that said, I not only don’t think it was a scam – regardless if this kid was of legal age or not, regardless if he was gay or not, regardless if they actually ever met up or not… this kind of relationship is not appropriate in this setting.
And finally, younger men are just as supseptible to sexual abuse by older people than girls. So just because this was a male page, doesn’t mean he had absolute control over the situation.
October 5th, 2006 at 6:06 pm… some would say that all fat white Republican drug addicts are either pedophiles or perverts…

October 5th, 2006 at 6:07 pmFoley is the victim here, god dammit! All he wanted to do was get these kids drunk, in the sack and get away with it. That’s not too much to ask is it?
October 5th, 2006 at 6:07 pmstupid republicans are now going around blaming kids for a pedophile’s actions? wow, you nutballs have really lost in now.
so much for you so-called values.
October 5th, 2006 at 6:09 pmBlame the victim. How original.
Goper’s Lament (Hard To Be A Republican)
October 5th, 2006 at 6:09 pmFor far too long now, Rush Limbaugh has made a living attacking people for their weak responses against sexual predators. He has gone out of his way to frame the issue as a problem with liberalism (one of our nation’s core values given to us by the framers of our nation’s Constitution). Now that he needs to walk the walk of his own vitriolic rhetoric leveled for years against Democrats and other non-Republican thinkers, he stutters and becomes relative in his perspective. What hogwash! Your career as an American commentator is over Mr. Limbaugh. You are a perverted menace upon the airwaves. Charlatan through and through! -Kevo
October 5th, 2006 at 6:10 pmPretty sad that our children think it is funny to make fun of someone simply for being gay.
Comment by Roger_Roger — October 5, 2006 @ 6:03 pm
First of all, if you are at all right, then Foley is NOT exhonerated, because he believed he was hitting on a 16 year old BOY.
Second of all – our children? It’s you homophobes on the right that teach your kids to hate gays and harass them. We teach ours to respect people of all types. This wasn’t our anything. You own it. Take responsibility.
October 5th, 2006 at 6:10 pmof course! the pages were asking for it… it’s their own fault for being young, male and trusting… blame the victim!

Foley is an innocent flower, and those predatory boys just wouldn’t let him alone. Waaah.
That picture is begging for a caption contest, by the way.
October 5th, 2006 at 6:13 pm#3 Actually, that has got to be the dumbest thing you have written. And you’ve written some pretty dumb things. Have you read the other electronic coorespondence McFeeley Foley has put out? “Better drink at my house so we don’t get caught” “Do I make you a little Horny”.
Indefensible and for the coverup crap that the Republicans have created they deserve all the heat they are getting. Look at how they’re eating they’re own now.
Your sick, really sick.
October 5th, 2006 at 6:14 pmActually Rush is correct.
That doesnt mean its always the case but what is important is that Foley engaged in this behavior and IMs, egged on or not :D
October 5th, 2006 at 6:14 pmThe page that had the IM’s admitted that it was a prank.
Comment by Roger_Roger
Maybe you’ve got a link for that one, big guy?
October 5th, 2006 at 6:20 pmLimbaugh ought to stick with something he knows about. Most kids do not exhibit the sicko behavior to which he attests. Rush was a sicko then and he’s a sicko now.
October 5th, 2006 at 6:22 pmFoley going into treatment for alcoholism may help his alcohol addiction but it certainly does not begin to address his “mental illness” and addiction to young boys! Alcohol, after all, is a central nervous system depressant, as everyone knows – coupled with the near perfect keystrokes of his typing and when you look at the rapid-fire responses and replies he made, this was definitely not the work of someone “under the influence of alcohol”.
October 5th, 2006 at 6:23 pmGuess they thought this might help but his own brother in law said he had no idea Foley had a problem with alcohol….soooooooooooooooooo there you have it..alcohol a convenient rehab to jump into to try to blur the edges of his “real problem” which is predatory behavior toward a minor and/or pedophilia – for which much counseling and/or institutionalization is necessary.
Just the fact that Mr Gay Basher himself is trying to empathize with a gay man is enough to tell you that he’s twisting himself in knots to defend these guys. Can any of his gay-hating listeners actually be out there saying,”Yeah, Rush. I feel sorry for the gay guy. It’s not his fault. It’s those good-for-nothing teenagers.” ???
October 5th, 2006 at 6:23 pmRoger, why are you and freinds still trying? Its a done deal man, Foley is what he is.
October 5th, 2006 at 6:24 pmThis is the “typical DARVO” tactics used by rapists……Deny, attack, Reverse Victim & Offender….Rovereich’s brainchild! The rapist says….”she was dressed that way and was asking for it”…..the pedophile says that the “youngster was egging him on” – give me a break! We ALL KNOW EXACTLY WHAT OCCURRED HERE and to spin it at all is criminal.
October 5th, 2006 at 6:24 pmdon’t blame rush. it was just the oxycotin talkin’.
October 5th, 2006 at 6:24 pmI’m assuming that I’m not the only one who thinks this is the most absurd thing I’ve read all day, right? Man, that Rush is one whacky guy.

October 5th, 2006 at 6:27 pmWhat if the outed page wasn’t just doing a prank, but came up with that story to cover for himself when he was outed so that his friends, family, and Oklahoma Republican politician employer wouldn’t think he was gay?

With more pages reporting Foley episodes this could blow up in his face faster than he can down a fistful of percidan. (not sure of the spelling and don’t really care).
October 5th, 2006 at 6:29 pmRogerRoger,
Hmm according to CNN the Pages family thinks the kid is a hero for outing your scumbag Foley, emails and IM’s. Nothing there about the IM’s being fake, god you people are really that stupid.
People that are innocent don’t usually resign, clue number 1?

If Clinton didn’t prove to the God-fearing and Jesus-loving American parent that politicians in DC are looking for hot, young meat, then those parent’s should be held liable. Hell, they are probably liberal Democrats looking to pimp their own kids out for personal gain. Certainly, Foley can’t be blamed for this!!!
October 5th, 2006 at 6:34 pmSpoken like a true Republican. They will do any low, slimy, dishonest thing, and so they assume that everyone else will, too. They tell lies about their political opponents, so they assume everyone else does, too. They gay bash, so they assume that everyone gay bashes.
I’ll bet Rushbo did all that stuff, but I’ll be there was no ‘we’ just sad little Rushbo, sitting home alone trying to hurt other people. Same thing he does now, come to think of it.

This is just a stunning logic! The supposed prankster, Jordan Edmund (his identity, btw, was leaked not long ago, and he’s a straight Republican, so there could be a chance he invented this story not to blamed for bringing this on GOP) engaged in some explicit IM with Foley.
The ‘over-friendly’ e-mails that broke the scandal have nothing to do with him.

At the beginning of the school year, one of my 17 year old students started flirting with me. I told him that I was old enough to be his mother. End of that problem.
Any moral adult would do the same thing. It’s easy to turn a man off by referencing his mother in that context… Or, his father with his mother.

October 5th, 2006 at 6:55 pmLimbaugh is a mean-spiritied egomaniac who is being forced to face the reality of his insignificance as his delusions of self-righteousness and control over political events are being replaced by fallibility and impotence. And by the way, anyone who doesn’t see Russ Limbaugh as being odd and weird should get into analysis as quickly as possible.

October 5th, 2006 at 7:02 pmGeorge W. Bush was never a fiscal conservative.
by Ross Douthat & Reihan Salam
10/09/2006, Volume 012, Issue 04
WHEN THE Washington Monthly recently asked seven conservatives to explain why they were rooting for GOP defeat this November, some of them complained about the Iraq war, some about the Bush administration’s expansive view of executive power, some about the GOP’s opposition to stem-cell research. But nearly all of them agreed on at least one point: If you were to boil down the domestic policy failings of the Bush years to just three words, those words might be spending, spending, and spending.
And todays “Worst Troll Persons in the World are….roger roger and paul!”
October 5th, 2006 at 7:04 pmHey, gang, I am as offended as you are by Limbaugh’s spew but you underestimate at your peril Rove & Cos ability to spin this thing to their advantage. Notice the difference between the way the right is handling this versus the way they handled previous scandals. They washed their hands quickly of Delay and the other scoundrels caught with their hand in the cookie jar. The difference: the stakes are higher this time. Faced with the very real possibility of losing the House, they are going to fight this thing with every ounce of their strength. (Remember, too, that the House has never changed hands without the Senate doing so as well.)
So, what to do? You’ve got to do more than pile onto this and other progressive blogs (as much fun as that is!) Write letters to the editor. Contribute to and GO TO WORK in your district for the Democratic candidate. Call into local (and national) talk shows.
Right now, the Grand Ole’ Perverts have got their firing squad arranged in a circle. Do not make the mistake of believing they won’t get their act together on this issue.

I thought surely it would be packed. The closest college held a debate a while back about the war, and parents of fallen soldiers were there. I thought there’d be no one at this talk, and there were people standing up in the auditorium because there were no seats left. I thought they would be there strong. No one. No one.
I’m so disappointed. I undersatand that maybe it was not publicized enough. But there HAVE to be activist groups on campuses. I feel that I failed, by not doing my part to publicize. I will not give up however.
BTW, my dog’s name is BalOO!!

Were working on it southpaw don’t give up so easy man!! Bawwhaha
October 5th, 2006 at 7:43 pmRush Limbaugh must be a disgusting pervert himself to dare say those Pages victimized Mark Foley a proven sexual predator pederast > Foley stalked them for perverted sex! Rush should be sent to prison himself!
October 5th, 2006 at 7:52 pmBlaming the victim, eh? I supposed the pills were to blame for Limbaugh’s drug addiction, too.
October 5th, 2006 at 7:52 pmYes, Hannity and Gingrich were just pushing the same slop on the Hannity radio show. In the words of George Costanza–“they got nothing.”
October 5th, 2006 at 7:57 pmThanks, DNBoo. I have not given up, nor will I. Peace for now, it’s 8:00 ET here and time to watch KO knock another one out of the park!! God bless Keith….
October 5th, 2006 at 7:59 pmBTW, for the caption contest…
“I’ll give you a nickle if you tickle my pickle.”
October 5th, 2006 at 8:00 pmtheory: methinks rush doth protest too much. i think he might play a part in all of this debauchery, and not a bit one. the neocon thirst for young boyblood is not easily quenched.
October 5th, 2006 at 8:00 pmThe GOP actually stands for Gays Obscured but Protected
October 5th, 2006 at 8:01 pmpages have parents. the parents will be mad when they hear what rush has said about their sons. it will mean more than just losing listeners, it will mean serious trouble for rush.
October 5th, 2006 at 8:01 pmRush is a truely amazing person. He orders a fridge for some strange folks down the street and then blames children, teenagers for outing a member of congress as a gag. Interesting, perhaps we need to out Rush as an idiot. If Mr. Foley is gay, that is his perogative and right as a citizen of the USA. If, on the other hand, he broke the law by soliciting young people via the internet then he is a pedofile as well. This does not mean that all gays are “consumed by sex” any more then hetersexuals. Nor does it mean that gays are all pedofiles. Both couldn’t be further from reality. But, the Republicans are what they are, closet gay bashers and closet bigots.
October 5th, 2006 at 8:12 pmRush Limbaugh is a boil on the ass of America. The presenting “symptom” of our collective greed, stupidity, and fear. It’s time to get on antibiotics and drain the puss. American needs to come clean, wake up, and let the grownups take charge. Simple. Bye Rush, Bush, Rove, Rummy, Chainy saw, Rice…etc.
They are all the same………..birds of a feather flock together.
Their time is up
October 5th, 2006 at 8:28 pmI knew they’d blame the children. I bet if something bad happened in the middle of a forest, conservatives would blame it on a vast left tree conspiracy out to get them. They’d blame the grass for egging them on about insulting the willow trees.
October 5th, 2006 at 8:43 pmMost “Born again Christians” I know (includes family members) love Rush bag, Slantity, and O’Lielly– go figure. And I mean “love” those dirt bags they never miss a broadcast.

October 5th, 2006 at 9:02 pmGood evening lovely people, is there anyone who needs some slappin’?

I am too stupid to understand that.
October 5th, 2006 at 9:11 pmI think that Hastert and Cheney forgot that when they were “bringing home the bacon” they were wupposed to save some for the family dinner….
October 5th, 2006 at 9:13 pmSo, he used to waste Sears time and money by having them deliver a refrigerator to somebody that didn’t want it. He should of have spent time in Juvi for that.
So, he was an eliteist xenophobic a hole back then, just like he is now.
Yes, because republicans perpetuate homophobia to their kids. My children would be dispilined for treating somebody differently for the way they walk or talk. That is a shollow republican trait.
Just ask the republican House leaders. They all knew the word around town.
And with the dumbing down of America, the republicans would like to make the problem even worse.
Pure 100% bullshit.
Next!
October 5th, 2006 at 9:14 pmMy dog, his name is Baloo, from the Jungle Book. That’s all I was saying. You’re not stupid, ForTruth!!!!

October 5th, 2006 at 9:20 pmStop while you’re ahead Boo—I tend to make a Hastert (a$$) of myself when I drink and post….recalling football/alcohol/infuriation/posting/foot-in-mouth. But you’re probably better at it than me.
Maybe we’ll be suitemates with Foley!! CYA, and I ain’t being fecicious….
October 5th, 2006 at 9:24 pmWas Rush molested as a child? I won’t go on to say the obvious.
October 5th, 2006 at 9:25 pmSo, what is Rush’s point?
Yea, teenagers are evil. Teenagers like to listen to that rock and roll devil music. Teenagers have no respect. Teenagers don’t understand we old folk had to walk 20 miles to school in 3 feet of snow up hill both ways.
We get it. Teenagers are also on Rush’s enemies list.
So what? Mark Foley is an adult who had the power to turn his computer off before he started soliciting internet sex from teenagers. And Hastert, or his aides (who were probably evil teenagers, too), or Boehner, or Reynolds, could have nipped this in the bud months or even years ago by reprimanding the Congressman in secret.
They decided to cover it up. They screwed themselves. So stop blaming the young whipper snappers for “egging” Foley on.
October 5th, 2006 at 9:30 pmSubordinates always use their inferior positions and lack of power to control & dominate their superiors….. derrr de derr der
October 5th, 2006 at 9:35 pmLook–it was the refrigerator’s fault. I mean, the refrigerator was a real player in this. I mean, the refrigerators WANTED to be delivered. They were just laying there, thinking, it would be funny to be up on someone’s doorstep, all there and stuff. It’s crazy how all you people can blame Rush for his behavior. There was no doubt that the refrigerators inherant will to be delivered was what caused alllllllllll this crap. For the love of coolant, don’t blame the repubs.
The next rally I go to, and I know you will be at THIS one, will be to free fridge.
Get the signs ready people.
October 5th, 2006 at 9:35 pmI would add just this comment:

[GOP]….favor a base-activation strategy that highlights the differences between the parties and attempts to keep the national news media and Washington elites nipping at the GOP’s heels instead of lunging at its throat. After five years of stunning success, the *media part of the Bush strategy looks to be a lost cause.
Bwahahaha so much for the *media pundits!
October 5th, 2006 at 10:24 pmProbably time to let this drop. Nancy Pelosi need not weigh in. Let them make more and more of their inbred mistakes.
The Repubs are stewing in their own juices. All the best “flavors” will be coming out in a couple of days, then we can flush them all down the toilet come November.
Meanwhile, John Warner held a news conference today to try to explore changes in strategy for Iraq…..hard to swift boat Murtha when one of their own wants to change course, eh?
October 5th, 2006 at 10:34 pmYes the cards are to balme for his gambling addiction also, and women are to blame for getting raped, and children are to blame for getting themselves abused, and the poor are to blame for the bad economy, schools, etc.
This is no change from RL’s nomral MO: blame the victim.
October 5th, 2006 at 10:37 pmSo America’s premiere child molester (if we’re right about his secret little trip to the Dominican has any legs) is taking cues from Matt Drudge? Good, Rush, keep it up.
Anyway shaking head)… In light of the premiere of season three, devotees of the show Lost may find this post, “The Lost Administration” interesting. Has it ever struck anyone at how closely the administration resembles the Others in how they treat us, the castaways?
Spoiler alert in advance for anyone who hadn’t seen episode one of season three.

October 5th, 2006 at 11:04 pmFoley: Do I make You a little horny?
Sounds like Foley is the one thats leading the conversation and asking all the questions not the kid. Anyone with an ounce of honesty knows that Rush is a PIG.

October 5th, 2006 at 11:09 pmMy question is, why did Rush and other Republican pundits RUSH to make this a political spin? This is a criminal act, not a political one. Hey, I admit that this puts Republicans in a bad light, and I’m dying for the the congress to change over, but this could have been anybody, a democrat or a republican.

Neither do most adults, asshole.
October 5th, 2006 at 11:15 pmThis is the defense. Blame everyone but the Rebubs for covering it up. Bring up all the Democrat scandels of the past, blame the media, Clinton, the kids… This will actually work! It will get dumb-ass Republicans to the polls and vote for them. Please, for god sakes vote.
Or go to the polls with a print out of all the scandels the Repubs have been involved with lately and hand them out to everyone entering polling! Maybe if some see the there are so many of them involved in scandels.. it may be time for change of leadership.
Remember, them blaming the left, the teenaged boys and the media is their only way to salvage the election. And it might work.
October 5th, 2006 at 11:53 pmLimbaugh is detached from reality. What a prick! I would love to kick his fat ass! This guy is absolutely unbelieveable, he blames the victims rather than the criminal, what an unbelievable dick weed.
These pricks like Limbaugh and Hannity spue their s**t and the repugs at home eat it up. I guess they think if they say it didn’t happen enough (regardless of the facts) they believe it is true. Not this time. Foley himself admits to it (but he’s not to blame, he claims he was molested as a youth which is why he has to prey on children, and we’re supposed to feel sorry for him).
At last there is concrete, factual evedince that can’t be disputed (if they don’t shread all the evedince before the FBI can obtain it) and all these f***ers can say is “we can’t believe the democrats want to expose us”.
Live it up bitches while you can, you are on the way out. Hastert, Boner (or whaterver the hell your name is), even your own party thinks you suck, give it up!
October 5th, 2006 at 11:53 pm“how could the whole GOP leadership be covering up a crime that was never committed?”
btrugthful?! Come on, at least choose a name that fits your agenda. The cover up, moron, was the fact that the GOP has known about one of its own making passes at boys for years and they have done nothing about it. That’s the cover up you stupid ass. Why don’t you get it? Are you really that f’in stupid, or are you just being an asshole?
Now you and your disgraceful kind are going around trying to blame this on Democrats, George Soros, gays, alcoholism, and priests — everybody but your sad leadership is to blame — everybody but you. Losers. Sad, sad losers. Look in the mirror if you want to blame somebody. Go and cry on your sad little pillow tonight.
I’m rolling in schadefreud (sp) right now. Sorry.
October 6th, 2006 at 12:06 amSpudge Boy,
The problem that everyone you mention involved in your witchhunt has, is the law is not on their side. Don’t get yourself too worked up if Foley doesn’t do any time. And please, no more of the disingenuous concern about the pages. There is not one person on the planet that believes liberals care about a page getting a creepy text message. I’m starting to wonder who’s more hypocritical, liberals or Mark Foley.
October 6th, 2006 at 12:12 amAnyone else remember how the GOP didn’t want to hear about Lewinsky doing anything seductive to gain Clinton’s interest? They’d hear about her wearing a thong and practically soil their undies: “My God, she’s just a child!” Well that “Child” was in her 20s when her affiar with Clinton occurred.
As a straight man-and, might I add, a pereptually horny straight man, I can say with complete and utter confidence and honesty, that if the world’s hottest 16 year old girl started trying to seduce me, I’d be able to keep it in my hands and tell her to stop. Is it because I am monogamous to the woman who’s marrying me within 17 hours? Is it because I don’t want to be the skeevy guy in jail for Statutory? A little from Column A and a little fomr Column B? Bottom line-whether these kids were metaphorically or physically yanking Foley’s chain, Foley is a grown man who should be well aware of the risks involved with trying to seduce an underage boy. Setup or not, he chose to accept those risks to feed his fetish. If that means he was tricked, fine. When cops pretend to be children on the interenet to lure men into a meeting, those men are getting “tricked” too. FOley, and everyone who tried to cover up Foley’s misdeed, need to accept that they did something horribly wrong, and their constituents are either demanding a massiv emea culpa or their resignations or both. Passing the blame and crying victim isn’t going to work this time (though “fixed” Diebold electronic voting machines might help their re-election come through next month). It’s time to for these cocks to come home to roost.

October 6th, 2006 at 12:21 am“not one person on the planet that believes liberals care about a page getting a creepy text message.”
paul: You can’t be serious with comments like this. Really, you have to be putting us all on. Do you have any children? I’m guessing not. Almost everybody, conservative or liberal alike are bothered by the thought of a grown man sending perverted IMs to their child. Except for you of course.
I’m going to use this opportunity to out you paul. If you are siding with Foley in this case, one can only assume that you are also into young children. Is this your fetish paul? Don’t try to blame your drinking or your priest. We are on to you paul — you are a pervert. Keep your kids away from paul everybody!
October 6th, 2006 at 12:22 amThere is not one person on the planet that believes liberals care about a page getting a creepy text message. I’m starting to wonder who’s more hypocritical, liberals or Mark Foley.
Comment by paul — October 6, 2006 @ 12:12 am
“Are you hard?”
“Yeah.”
“Measure it for me.”
“7 inches.”
This is basically part of one of the conversations between Foley and the 16 year old page. And you call this “creepy???” Maybe between, you know, 2 adults. But between a 53 year old man and a 16 year old boy? It’s downright disgusting.
There is not one person on the planet that believes liberals care about a page getting a creepy text message.
Wow…what a generalization. Just by saying it, you can’t prove it. Are you getting your talking points from George “Democrats don’t want us listening to terrorists phone calls” Bush? By liberals, are you referring to all libs in Congress, or all libs in America?
October 6th, 2006 at 12:28 amOh, and Paul, if no laws have been broken, then you need to call the FBI and tell them to break off the investigation. It would be a terrible waste of resources and money.

October 6th, 2006 at 12:35 amR-FL Foley is of about the biggest hypocrite to date when you read his caucus and subsequent law. Law the Republicans wanted, only to ignore? In Fact Foley’s whole career was built upon that very premise of halting predation.
Can you say hypocrites?
The GOP was for Foleys predation before they were against it

October 6th, 2006 at 1:14 amDoes Limbaugh have any kids? I don’t know, don’t know much about him other than his rantings are so far from the truth only his minions will believe it.
I wonder how he would feel if Foley spent a romantic night with his son (if he had one) drinking at Foley’s place (so they wouldn’t get busted). I guess he could spin it that although it’s disgusting, at least he won’t get pregnant!
Is Limbaugh jealous?
October 6th, 2006 at 1:20 amIsn’t it sad that people will blame an entire group of individuals for one persons actions?
Foley made a huge mistake, and we’re all sitting here calling the Republicans stupid. How does that make any sense?
Though, I’d really like to know why the Republican party is making excuses for Foley. You’d think that they’d want to put as much distance from them and him as possible.
But this is exactly the kind of things that George Washington foresaw. He knew that if we all divided into parties that these kinds of things would tear this people apart. There is no power on the face of the planet that can destroy America. If we are to fall, it will be from within, not without. If we continue to be divided then our constitution will fail.
Put our diffrences behind us in the upcoming election and vote for the person that you think will be best suited for the job. Learn about them, study the issues. If you don’t then you might as well not vote.

Foley here,who built his career upon the horrific demise of Adam Walsh and sexual Predators, since 1993, and these smart people, Hastert and other Republicans, were going to stand-by until Foley ended up doing something like Carl Roberts?
Come on this guy, Foley was a loose predator just waiting to go off. He MAY very well have already have molested children.

October 6th, 2006 at 2:35 amRead this article by Paul Krugman. Just when you thought Wal-Mart couldn’t get any more evil… Here’s a quote:
“And the company is taking other steps to keep workers from staying too long: in some stores, according to workers, ‘managers have suddenly barred older employees with back or leg problems from sitting on stools.’â€
October 6th, 2006 at 7:15 amYou are correct he didn’t fail at divorce and he surely didn’t fail at drug addiction, nor did he fail to keep his chcken hawk behind out of vietnam, nor did he fail to forget his Viagra!!

October 6th, 2006 at 7:57 amIt’s been a long time since I’ve since such dishonest “reporting”. With a headline of “Limbaugh Blames Pages For Foley’s Misconduct” on a story that clearly only states that he is placing blame on the pages for leaking the story out, not for his misconduct.
The transcript you link to has no place in it where Rush places any blame whatsoever on the pages for anything that Foley did. Anyone that actually read it would see that. Either you didn’t read the transcript upon which you are reporting or you are blatantly distorting the facts and making up other “facts” out of thin air to advance your position.
It’s not just shoddy reporting, it’s libel. Shame on you.
October 6th, 2006 at 8:30 amDoesn’t anyone realize that Foley is not gay? He is a pedophile. Just the fact that all these pundits are trying to spin Foley into a big bad america hating gay shows how much they really love to gay bash– not kids

RUSH: It’s pretty close to what I thought. The page was goading Foley, and he circulated these things to other people in the page program, and one of them let some Democrat political operative have it.
could be why TP has this headline. Because Rush is saying that the pages were goading Foley. That sounds to me like he’s saying what Foley did was their fault. I don’t think TP was being “dishonest.” Rush was, but not TP.
October 6th, 2006 at 8:47 am[...] Today on his radio program, Rush Limbaugh blamed Congressional pages for Mark Foley’s misconduct. He said that the communications reported by ABC were example of "young kids" who like to "make fun of gay people." Rush �s evidence? As a child, he used to order refrigerators over the phone for adults he thought were "odd or weird" as a prank.read more | digg story [...]

October 6th, 2006 at 8:57 amHey, i also heard that Linda Tripp and Monica Lewinski were just “pranking” Pres. Clinton!
Does that mean we get to redact the impeachment?!?!?
I don’t have to show proof, just like Matt Drudge never had to show proof for his claims that the “pages were pranking Rep. Foley”.
Just take my word for it!
(sarcasm off)
October 6th, 2006 at 8:58 amGET THIS PUTRID PIECE OF SHIT OFF THE LEAD STORY POINT. IF THERE WAS ONE PERSON TO KILL THIS IS IT.
October 6th, 2006 at 8:59 amhe used to order refrigerators over the phone for adults he thought were “odd or weird†as a prank.
he’s a damned liar (duh). he would have been a child in the early ’60s and i can almost guarantee you that’s not the casual way business was done in those days. hell, most people didn’t even have credit cards.
October 6th, 2006 at 9:18 amSo Rush, you blame the kids. According to you, its “they” do this and that toward gays because they are not not mature enough too know better.
October 6th, 2006 at 9:20 amThis is really a reflection on you, isn’t it? And you should know it because you are old enough to be an adult.
And, “who knew what the word around town was”, well certainly the republican leaders of the house did. But they were trying to “save their seat” and at the cost of the kids.
Yes, “kids are kids” and should be given protectiion from the likes of your kind.
You will never grow up. And no one will ever expect you to.
It’s incomrehensible how your employers keep you on the air. But they must think like you. Sorry.
Okay, so so far they have blamed (in no particular order):
The Democrats.
The Media.
The Kids.
The Catholic Church.
And, alchohol.
Party of responsibility eh?
October 6th, 2006 at 9:28 amJeez, right wingers just can’t stop shootiung themselves in the foot! The smartest thing the Republican pundits can do to slow the public relations bleeding is just stop talking about it! Beacuse all the socceer moms and Nascar dads hear right now is “It’s someone else’s fault.” For a group that had been so successful in pounding their message home for years, they are inexplicably fumbling this one time and again.
Right Wing: “It’s the Democrats!”
ABC: “Actually, the info came from Republicans.”
Right Wing: “It’s all a prank!”
Other pages via ABC: “No, these are not pranks.”
Right Wing: “We couldn’t say anything because we didn’t want to offend gays!”
Common Sense: “Yeah, you guys are best buds with gays. How’s that Defense of Marriage Amendment coming.”
Right Wing: “Well we told him to stop those naughty emails.”
Common Sense: “If this was a teacher, and Hastert was the principal. Would the school board fire both for this mess? God, I hope so!”
Right Wing pundits, if you want to turn Main Street against you, by all means continue coming up with these conspiracy theories. Given that America has a two-party system, it doesn’t take a Nobel Prize winner (which America now has more of this week) to figure out where Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Public are taking their votes.
October 6th, 2006 at 10:11 amLet’s not forget it was Rush that dreamed up the idea that Abu Ghraib was like a fraternity prank. Now he thinks pages are essentially running gay sting operations for fun. I’m still confused though, isn’t Rush losing his eyesight or his hearing or his sanity? Well, I can now verify one of those three, he’s lost his mind.
I also laugh at Fat-Ass Hastert blaming the Dems and George Soros for exposing this scandal. His logic has the ring of insanity as well. First the fact according to the St. Petersburg newspaper that didn’t print the information they had, but without revealing their source did identify the sources political side, Republican. Regardless of that, anyone who revealed Foley’s bahavior (whether Soros or Republican) I say BRAVO! Hastert somehow wants to blame the person(s) that exposed Foley?!?!? Whoever did, saved pages from being exposed to Foley, afterall Hastert had no problem if Foley won re-election.
October 6th, 2006 at 10:23 am#218 – Unfortunately the sad thing is the reason he is kept on the air by the broadcasters is because he brings in a great deal of revenue. This is the scariest thing about Limbaugh, that he really does have a listening audience. I work in an office where the guy in the office next to me has Limbaugh’s claptrap drivel blaring where I can hear it everyday. If he wasn’t a co-owner of my company I would long ago have put my foot through his computer listening to some of the inane dialogue on Limbaugh’s show.
As for the current batch of lies: It is totally typical of Limbaugh to speak hypocritically – this is no exception – it is the rule. He is fond of playing sound bites of Democrats, etc. over and over again theoretically exposing their inconsistencies in things they have said over time. I would laugh and laugh if someone would create a montage of things he has said contradicting himself over the years. The only problem is that whoever put such a thing together would have to listen to his crap while putting it together and would probably never be the same.
Bottom line: Same ‘ole crap from Rush. Sad, sad, sad that he has people who take his puke as gospel.
October 6th, 2006 at 11:57 amLimpdick seems to be saying he is responsible. Afterall, he ordered from Sears as a kid, he could be behind the page scandal. It sounds like a pattern of deviant behavior on Limpdick’s part. Developing….
October 6th, 2006 at 12:14 pmhypocrite, i am scared that the fate of america rests in this guys hands, he is delusional.
October 6th, 2006 at 12:19 pmWhat a sad sad pathetic lonely man Limburg is.
October 6th, 2006 at 12:33 pmFoley is just the tip of the iceberg. Supposedly there is an outing list that has hundreds of Congressional names. Most if not all are republicans. The chickens are coming home to roost. After all what can expect from a bunch like this.

October 6th, 2006 at 12:38 pmYeah, next Rush will tells us that all the pills he was popping, jumped into his mouth and forcably entered his gullet cause it was some kind of prank. He’s not at all responsible for his drug addiction – it’s all the pill’s fault! I’d like to think all that drug abused addled his brain, but he’s always been a dumbass.
October 6th, 2006 at 12:41 pm-Odd of Weird people? Like drug addicts? Or the morbidly obese? Or the hard of hearing? What kind of people do you mean, Rush?
October 6th, 2006 at 12:43 pm“We all know that young people gay-bash” because adults like you teach them too. Adults who “don’t have the maturity to understand this stuff…” It’s not kids who are the problem. They’re just kids! Everything they do in their lives they because adults have taught them what is right and wrong. If kids are gay-bashing, it’s because the people they grew up with (often conservative anti-gay closed minded homophobes and sometimes religous zealots) show them that “gay-bashing” is the “right” thing to do.
October 6th, 2006 at 1:16 pmI can’t believe this limp excuse. Does Limbaugh even think before he opens that pill popping, pie eating, gob hole of his? I love his statement. “you probably have a bunch of pages laughing and making fun of Foley and the way he comes on to them” the way he comes on to them !! Doen’t Limbaugh see that the problem is in fact that the guy is coming on to them? In a work environment? Whether or not they make fun of him, I believe that still wrong?!? Mr. Limbaugh, welcome to America. Where it’s okay to make fun of your co-workers for sexually harrassing you.
October 6th, 2006 at 2:04 pm#176. Vaughn. Here’s a good indication we are in the middle of a witch hunt.
you: I’m going to use this opportunity to out you paul. If you are siding with Foley in this case, one can only assume that you are also into young children. Is this your fetish paul? Don’t try to blame your drinking or your priest. We are on to you paul — you are a pervert. Keep your kids away from paul everybody!
I thought Joe McCarthy was dead. Now, I forget, wasn’t it the liberals that used to support free speech?
October 6th, 2006 at 2:13 pm#216. Refuse. Okay, you want to kill a homosexual man for e-mailing explicit messages to young males, who have reached the age of consent. I’m starting to long for the days when liberals were tolerant.
October 6th, 2006 at 2:17 pmHoly crap, is this the only thing America has to talk about until the FBI investigation is complete? Please, hurry up.
October 6th, 2006 at 2:19 pmVaughn. I am not going to insinuate that you have pedophile tendencies, because you are the one protesting the loudest hear. I don’t think that is what is going on. More, I believe that you and liberals in general are consumed with regaining power to the extent you are willing to compromise your traditional principles to get it. I’m not blaming you, I just believe you have become (I hope) temporarily blinded.
October 6th, 2006 at 2:23 pmThis goes to show you what kind of a person that Rush is. This is what he thought of as a prank. Some things never change – just now he gets paid for it & his are assaults are verbal.
October 6th, 2006 at 2:24 pmGay Old Pedophiles
October 6th, 2006 at 2:27 pmHow does he make it to that radio station everyday?
…being the drug addled “walrus” he is and all…
October 6th, 2006 at 2:28 pmLimpbag fights dirty, lies consistently, distorts repeatedly. Personally, it’s fun to watch the “values party” squirm and become desperate. How can they not see what they are doing? Rush at his most ridiculous says, “The Dems do not care about the children, if they did why did the ‘drive by’ media hold the story for so long. I will tell you right now people there is something strange going on here. Who is behind this leak? I say it’s a democrat!……” Reach a little farther Rush, while you still think you have credibility. Every instance I see Hannity spouting off, I swear it looks like he’s going to cry. It’s beautiful.
October 6th, 2006 at 2:34 pmPaul, don’t be ridiculous, the only way we could be compromising our principles is by acting like conservatives or republicans are. We are not compromising anything. We are not gay bashing, we are not blaming anyone else, we are not looking for scapegoats. We are awaiting the outcome of this investigation, and how it might affect this election. We’d much rather win on the issues because we believe this administration is reckless, dangerous and tantamount to a fascist regime. We don’t insulate ourselves from the rest of the world like this administration likes to do, thereby alienating ourselves from other reasonable voices.. So we aren’t compromising anything, it would seem though, that you and yours are compromising everything, especially the mantra of being the “values party”! Now that’s hilarious.
October 6th, 2006 at 2:55 pmGood response, #239. Paul’s just setting up straw man arguments, just like his dear leader!
October 6th, 2006 at 3:03 pmBack Breaking News out of Florida.
Republican Governor Candidate Charlie Crist, has been now fingered as another extortion-friendly Republican because he choses to remain a homosexual-in-the-closet. He attended various sex parties with noted former Congressman Mark Foley (aka Pedophile in Rehab). Crist is also connected to the obstruction of justice and other criminal activity involving hiding emails and Internet messages from Mark Foley to ex-pages in the House of Representatives.
Foley, Crist and Jeb Bush and Karl Rove all participated in these criminal acts. Story developing. Word has it the Miami Herald is ready to roll.
October 6th, 2006 at 3:11 pmI never believe a word that comes from Limbaugh’s flacid lips. His blaming of the victims is assinine and I don’t believe his refrigerator story, either. Sears wouldn’t have stayed in business for all these years if they delivered refrigerators (or anything else) without first receiving payment, or a contractual promise thereof. The only way big, fat liar Limbaugh’s “prank” could have worked is if he had engaged in credit card fraud.
I think the drug addiction has damaged his brain. He can’t even tell a believable lie anymore.
October 6th, 2006 at 3:19 pm[...] Limbaugh Blames Pages For Foley’s Misconduct [...]
October 6th, 2006 at 3:22 pmIs Rush back on the pills again? The open borders republicans having us fighting a war in Iraq and we were attacked in 9/11, because they hate our freedom, right Rush?
October 6th, 2006 at 4:26 pm“Al-Qaeda” Does Not Exist
Former Leader of the House of Commons Robin Cook, who admirably resigned in protest of the 2003 Iraq invasion, penned a piece in the London Guardian shortly before his death that shed light on the true genesis of the name.
“Al-Qaida,” states Cook, “literally “the database”, was originally the computer file of the thousands of mujahideen who were recruited and trained with help from the CIA to defeat the Russians.”
According to the BBC documentary The Power of Nightmares
Al-Qaeda was a name made up in a manhatton court room in january 2001 as a name for group that attacked the Trade centre and a way of creating a flase name ” bit like using Mafia” basically to scare people
October 6th, 2006 at 4:40 pmRush Limbaugh is a cocaine addict.
October 6th, 2006 at 4:58 pmOnly another pedophile would take up for a pedophile. I bet if Limbaugh was investigated, you would find a closet full of skeletons of children.
October 6th, 2006 at 4:59 pmWhat Republican genius changed the name of the Grand Old Party to Hezbollah (English translation: God’s Own Party)?
October 6th, 2006 at 5:07 pmRush’s Republican apologies are at an new level of pathos.
What will it take for him to say something sensible???
Oh, wait he’s a (former) drug addict….
October 6th, 2006 at 6:21 pmShould this shock anybody? Pedophiles take up for other pedophiles all the time, because they honestly believe that having sex with children is a normal thing.
Rush limbaugh is a drug addict and a pedophile himself. Nobody goes to the Dominican Republic nowadays unless they want to engage in child sex.
October 6th, 2006 at 8:46 pmI can’t help thinking that anyone who would defend these pedophiles have had their own fantasies about seducing young men. How can they begin to excuse this…drunk or not, first time or not The man is a predator and needs to be dealt with harshly along with all the sick f#@ks that cover for him or try to justify this!
October 7th, 2006 at 1:07 amI’m glad to know gays are still TOO WEIRD, even in this decadent day and age. Some day, Foley will be a hero with a monument to tolerance in the godless, soulless multicult. Some are building it now.
October 7th, 2006 at 11:09 amLomas, you’re either a closeted gay or a complete moron. There is a difference between a gay man and a pedofile. If every gay man was a pedofile there would be news stories about them and arrests made every single minute of every single day.
Assuming you’re a straight man, please describe for use the day you decided to be straight. That is, of course, if you prescribe to the notion that gay men choose to be gay. Then, ask yourself why ANYONE would choose to be gay if it is a simple decision? USE YOUR BRAIN, if you have one, and stop being a 19th century retard.
October 7th, 2006 at 1:40 pmSo, Rush is assuming that since he was such an asshole as a kid, that all kids are assholes. Unfortunately, his audience (including my parents, I’m afraid) buy this crap because they hear what they want to hear. Many older conservatives blame all of our problems on “kids these days” without stopping to wonder who taught them. Oh, yeah, Boys will be boys.
I am very sure that if Foley had been a Democrat, Rush would have been back on his high horse, decrying the evil Foley had committed. Pedophile or not, Rush would never have defended a Democrat.
My entry for the Caption Contest: “Is this making you horny?”
October 7th, 2006 at 5:00 pmRush has done another REACH. There may be some teenage antics involved but why did this Congressman resign if he were just a VICTIM. He asks the real victim’s age knowing he was in dangerous territory. This guy is the man who is charged with stopping VICTIMIZATION. SHAME, SHAME, SHAME. This is the anti pedophile. Oh, my God!!! No, Rush, you can’t dig out your “conservatives” on this one. NO WAY.
October 7th, 2006 at 8:32 pmMore crap from Limbaugh. He’s “just an entertainer” when called to the mat over comments like these, and then he’s a driving force behind the GOP when he wants to be.
Geez, even the freekin Washington Times isn’t buying this crap. They’ve come out against this scandal. I have not heard one “everybody does it” “History Lesson” on their Op-Ed page, nothing. Cal Thomas, Rush Limbaugh?
Well, you know them…”It’s right or wrong, no gray areas unless it might harm the reputation of a Republican”
October 7th, 2006 at 10:44 pmI forbid anyone in our household to mention his name (RL). I’m thinking of applying that rule to saying GB as well.
When we repeat and repeat someone’s name, it becomes entered into our being, our consciousness.
This man doesn’t deserve any attention.
I know I’m giving it attention now, but I just had to say thi.
