		<description>[...] Now, the fun part &#8212; that of figuring out how much this is going to hurt the Republicans and whether there&#8217;s any conceivable way of blaming it on the Democrats or ABC instead &#8212; is only just getting started, and a small sub-fight &#8212; that of deciding which side of the blogosphere is proving itself to be the most hypocritical/opportunistic/crazy &#8212; is also bubbling away nicely. As with every other news story of the last five years, the Foley scandal exemplifies the culture of corruption imposed upon Washington by a power-mad Bush administration, while simultaneously revealing the tragic consequences of the heathen licentiousness promoted by Democrats across this great land. Also, there has to be something here that can be blamed on Glenn Reynolds: There are other sites, large and small, that have linked to Wild Bill as well â€” thatâ€™s also wrong. We wonâ€™t be providing links to any of these posts. [...]</description>

		<description>To those saying &quot;it was ABC&#039;s fault&quot;.

Here&#039;s a quote from William Kerr himself: &quot;He said he typed a slightly-different Web address into his browser and found a version of the transcript with the screen name.&quot; 
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1714213/posts

This essentially means that Kerr acquired the screen name by hacking. Now, an excuse &quot;their security was shit&quot; is sometimes used by hackers, but probably not to a greater result than &quot;the door was open&quot; works for a robber or &quot;pretty girls shouldn&#039;t go alone at night&quot; for a rapist.</description>

		<description>Why oh why are you guys responding to that moron wgltlt? He probably hangs around outside bars waiting to expose himself to passing strangers, because no one with his level of intellect and sheer, stupid wingnuttery can ever have social relations with normal people. 

Please, ignore him and if you must react to his posts, refer to him in the third person and deny him the satisfaction of anyone ever responding to him directly. 

There has been a rise in troll activity across many liberal blogs of late - in their last ditch, desperate attempt to stave off the inevitable that stares in the face on Nov 8, they&#039;re thrashing about like the town drunk, trying to engage anyone in an argument or better yet, a fight, to prove how much manlier they are compared to those wimps who go fight real wars ... 

Ugly as his comments are, can you imagine how much uglier, nastier and plain smellier the contents of his head are? You&#039;d step over a pile of dog poo if you found it on the sidewalk wouldn&#039;t you? That&#039;s what&#039;s in his head - futile to argue with it, isn&#039;t it?</description>

		<description>Democrat!! Liberal!!!! Conservative!!! Republicans!!! You are an idiot!!! You crack me up!!! Right Wing!!!! Left Wing!!!! You all sound like a bunch a whining brats with no more common sence then to call names. 

Politicians are human, which means they are capable of being sick. The mistake is allowing people who are not mentally competant into a high political office where their illness become a national problem rather than a private matter. Once you are in office you are not about to run off for counseling for such delicate matters. Being gay isn&#039;t a illness. Hiding it, fighting against it in the name of Christianity and Right wing politics is a disgrace. Victimizing boys should land you in jail even if you do have friends in high places. And making excuses for his behavior, as if he had no control over it is an insult to the hundreds of thousands of men, women, boys and girls who have been victims of molestation but have not gone on to lead a life of crime, bnut rather took responsibility to heal.</description>

		<description>Whatgrealiesthelefttells, My take on your comments is that no one should say anything about a pedophile who headed a committee designed to protect the very people that were his victims. This man sat in this chair for years while Republican leadership knew about his ongoing perversion. They refused to take any measure of action against him because political power was more important to them than being morally and ethically responsible.

You are defending them and feigning moral outrage at something individual Democrats did in the past to bolster your defense You sound as much like an enabler as the Republican leadership.

Your much vaunted Republicans as you may recall pandered to every morally indignant crackpot in the country to get themselves elected. They have posed as the representatives of the &quot;moral majority&quot;(Agnew doublespeak). As far as I can see these bottom feeders are as far from morality as can be. They enable torture, arrest and captivity without charges, due process of law, legal representation, or even communication. They have destroyed our tripartate form of governance by creating a unitary imperial presidency without checks or balances. they have started an aggressor preemtive war by winning public support through means of telling lies and promoting alarmist fear, and conflating everything and everybody they want to destroy or get out of the way with &quot;terrorism&quot;. They have pretty much destroyed any privacy we once enjoyed under protection of the law. They have a complete disregard for the environment or the health of the public. They have all but bankrupted the country by stealing the publics hard earned tax money and giving it to their partisan big corporate buddies by way of no bid contracts. They have alienated the vast majority of the worlds population to point where they consider us not as the protectors of freedom or the light of democracy but as morally bankrupt imperial lunatics bent on world domination or world destruction. The world rightfully sees us as the causus belli of terrorism. 

How many civil rights are you willing to abrogate in the Republican slimefest of power. What would be a heinous enough act by a Republican to turn you off. Nothing apparently. You are a hypocrite and an enabler of the most corrupt criminal conspiracy this nations ever witnessed.</description>

<p>Your much vaunted Republicans as you may recall pandered to every morally indignant crackpot in the country to get themselves elected. They have posed as the representatives of the &#8220;moral majority&#8221;(Agnew doublespeak). As far as I can see these bottom feeders are as far from morality as can be. They enable torture, arrest and captivity without charges, due process of law, legal representation, or even communication. They have destroyed our tripartate form of governance by creating a unitary imperial presidency without checks or balances. they have started an aggressor preemtive war by winning public support through means of telling lies and promoting alarmist fear, and conflating everything and everybody they want to destroy or get out of the way with &#8220;terrorism&#8221;. They have pretty much destroyed any privacy we once enjoyed under protection of the law. They have a complete disregard for the environment or the health of the public. They have all but bankrupted the country by stealing the publics hard earned tax money and giving it to their partisan big corporate buddies by way of no bid contracts. They have alienated the vast majority of the worlds population to point where they consider us not as the protectors of freedom or the light of democracy but as morally bankrupt imperial lunatics bent on world domination or world destruction. The world rightfully sees us as the causus belli of terrorism. </p>
<p>How many civil rights are you willing to abrogate in the Republican slimefest of power. What would be a heinous enough act by a Republican to turn you off. Nothing apparently. You are a hypocrite and an enabler of the most corrupt criminal conspiracy this nations ever witnessed.<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=950387', 400, 400)"></a></p>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Folks, beware.

I have a sneaking suspicion that Rove is playing rope-a-dope with us. &lt;/blockquote&gt;


Come on...you have got to be kidding me. Rove is not that stupid, and we shouldn&#039;t be so afraid of him that when such a far-reaching scandal that strikes the heart of the Republican leadership and its voting base hits that we worry how it&#039;s going to hurt Democrats.

I don&#039;t mean to be (Tony Snow) glib, but should we also be worrying that Rove is orchestrating the chaos in Iraq?</description>
