Mark Foley emails altered And CREW Removes Their Link To Them

By: Pam On: Oct/2/06 - 16 Comments

Who altered the Mark Foley emails? Passionate America has this copy of an e-mail, as well as this copy. Note how they are not the same. When I tried to open this link from a pdf file from Citizens For Ethics website, I was given this message:

Allahpundit says: “Mind you, these aren’t the only discrepancies between Foley e-mails. When writing this post, I noticed that ABC News and the Times quoted the same line from the same Foley e-mail slightly differently. The Times had it as “send me a pic of you as well,” ABC had it as “send me an email pic of you as well.” I didn’t mention it in my post because I figured it was just an error in transcription. Now I don’t.”

    Oh my gawsh!! the smoking gun!! You nailed ‘em!!
    This proves that Mark Foley does not like boys!!! Great work. He should get his job back now. And you should receive your Pedophile Enabler Spirit Award.
    PS: The Libr’l Media doctored video of John Mark Carr to make his mullet longer. He’s probably not a pedophile either.

    Careful Peejz, it’s not a good idea to rush into pointing out small discrepancies this early in the game. It gives the appearance that you are defending this somehow. The online chat transcript is pretty damning and leaves very little room for interpretation.

    Chuck- I am in no way defending pedophiles. The im’s are in question as are the e-mails..they aren’t jivving from source to source…

    1- Obviously not a genius are you..must have something to do with CNN… I didn’t defend Foley, I am stating that there are discrepancies in the information.

    I am getting a lot of the same; because I have some questions about the emails I am defending Foley. They are just upset that their October surprise might have some holes in it. I think Foley is scum, but the lefties will selectively skip over that statement in this comment. Fire away lefties.:lol:

    Wild Bill, thanks for that. Just because Foley broke the law, imo, doesn’t make the lies being told right!:wink:

    6- I AGREE COMPLETELY with you, Peejz! Isnt that surprising? And that’s why the Democratic leadership were the first to demand an investigation into the issue. Let’s sort out the lies and spin from the facts. I’ll make the popcorn, you bring the Republican leadership, which seems to have protected a predator, to the hearings.

    TT- I am in no way defending Foley..I do think that there is a pattern of behavior that is, imo, criminal..what I can not tolerate is the fact that there appears to be some others involved outside of the Republican leadership..Flopping Aces has a great round up.

    From Rick Moran:

    Stop Sex Predators came on line in late July with one post announcing its intention to “serve as a clearing house for the public to report sex predators and as a resource for concerned parents and citizens.”

    The next blog post wasn’t until August 17th where the writer listed in a rather desultory manner some more notable sex predators. After that, two posts on August 26.

    [:]The fourth and last post for the entire month of August was a cut and paste from Wikpedia of the Gary Condit affair. More “political predators”on a site dedicated to sex predators in general? Why?

    Then in September there were two more posts until Sept 21st where Foley is mentioned for the first time.

    I have been away for a while, so please accept my apologies for the lack of blog posts. BUT:.while I was away, the blog has been noticed and some shocking emails have been received! I can hardly believe it! I’m posting each one below. It’s proof that the Congressional Corruption of the past is alive and well today. It’s up to us to expose it and stop this predatory harassment! Please promote the blog and email any further information to stopsexpredators@gmail.com . Together we will make a difference!

    Rick asks the same thing any of us would. How in the world did someone “notice”this blog with all of 6 posts and only started in July? How far down in google do you think this blog would be? Waaaaaay down.

    Why would anyone notice this blog? It has posted nothing original in its short existence. The rare postings means that it has not built up any audience whatsoever. The first Technorati reference to the blog is from two days ago. Even a Google search doesn’t show it on the first 10 pages when searching for “Stop Sex Predators.”

    And yet, 3 separate people who had contact with Congressman Foley somehow found this website independent of one another and supposedly sent emails to the owner of this site to complain about Foley’s inappropriate behavior.

    Possible? Yes. Probable? I’ll let you decide.

    This is a posting at Blog Active back on March 4, 2005:Look at this link from Gatewaypundit

    Here are the threats and plans to destroy Mark Foley printed at a Leftist-haters blog back in March of 2005:

    Birds of a Feather
    Two haters, one picture:
    Gay-bashing straight man John Ashcroft and Gay-bashing gay man Mark Foley

    This is United States Congressman Mark Foley
    He voted this week for a law to allow hate groups to fire gay and lesbian people at will
    The law he is supporting will overrule ANY local laws on the matter.
    MARK FOLEY IS GAY
    MARK FOLEY WILL BE EXPOSED FOR THE HYPOCRITE HE IS THROUGH A MAIL AND INTERNET CAMPAIGN THAT WILL REACH INTO EVERY HOME IN HIS DISTRICT.

    THIS MAN IS A DANGER

    TO GAY MEN AND LESBIANS

    DO NOT SLEEP WITH THIS MAN
    IF HE CRUISES YOU IN THE BATHROOMS OF CONGRESS,IGNORE HIM!
    IF HE HITS ON YOU AT THE NEXT REPUBLICAN CONVENTIONIGNORE HIM!

    THE NATION MUST BE WARNED ABOUT THIS
    ABOMINATION IN THE GAY COMMUNITY

    Please to support our educational and advertising campaign against this right wing hypocrite, click here and join the battle for true lesbian and gay liberation.

    **COMING MONDAY ON BLOGACTIVE:** The entire Mark Foley story:Read about my recorded discussions with staff members and former staff members of Rep. Mark Foley:Read about how Mark Foley hit on men less than half his age at the Republican convention:Read about how Mark Foley voted to remove protections from those same young gay men and lesbians and anyone else violating a local discrimination law!!!

    And back in 2004 there were open threats in the Washington Blade by Rogers targeting Foley:

    20 offices said targeted
    Not likely, say Mike Rogers and John Aravosis, the two men loosely heading an ongoing outing campaign on the Hill. As the date nears for a Senate vote on the Federal Marriage Amendment, which would ban gay marriages in the Constitution, Rogers said the outings have picked up steam ” from 13 documented offices to nearly 20 currently on a target list provided by Rogers to the Blade.

    In addition to Tolman, Rogers and Aravosis, working in tandem but not together, claimed in the last week to have outed via the Web Democratic Sen. Barbara Mikulski of Maryland and Republican Congressman Mark Foley of Florida.

    While Tolman confirmed he is gay, the Mikulski’s office refused to comment on speculation she is a lesbian, something Aravosis implied last week on his site.

    A spokesperson for Congressman Mark Foley (R-Fla.) also declined to comment after Aravosis specifically asserted that Foley is gay on his Web site last week.

    Both members of Congress have long been the subject of rumors about their sexual orientation.
    Foley abused his position and may have been involved in criminal activity.

    Thanks, Peejz. I think the distinction here needs to be it’s not about him being or not being “gay”, but that he acted on his affinity for underage boys. There is nothing illegal about being gay, or getting a blow-job in the ovulation office :razz: … The point is, the Democratic leadership was not informed of the concerns of Foley (left out of the loop) and the Republican house leadership appears to have done nothing to deal with this perdator.

    I think, at the least, we both agree that our guts tell us he is guilty of the overall charges, yes? Our differences are in that I am ready to bury any and all politicos in DC who knew of Foley’s behavoir and did nothing. You, I believe, are attempting to protect the same.

    LOL…
    Seen the latest Kos hit? “They were afraid to offend gays? That’s their excuse?”

    Tony Perkins of Dobson’s Family Research Counsel was on CNN earlier and I think we are hearing the contours of the Christian Right’s argument. They are going with Newt Gingrich’s formulation: Poor Denny was afraid of being called a gay basher so he didn’t say anything.

    So let me understand this. A sexual child predator wasn’t exposed by the because the Republican’s were afraid of being called gay bashers? :mrgreen:

    Shitoh,

    You never complained when “Billy Blow Job” was sexually harassing the Interns.

    Kilo owes me one.

    9- TT, let’s get on the same page right here..I could care less if he is gay, that isn’t any of my business. Peophilia is our business and is not the same thing as homosexuality….The good thing about this is we have no proof that the man engaged in physical sexual acts with minors.

    I believe that Hastert was made aware of the 1st set of emails and not the sexually explicit ones..if that is true, then he could have let the other party know, but there really wasn’t anything in them that would warrant any action. In other words, I think that one could say that you and I could read more into them than was actually there. If Hastert was in possession of sexually explicit materials, that is quite another story! Yes at that point it was his duty to act!

    10- I guess I am not getting the point of what kos and others are getting at. The quote was in reference to the rumors about Foley’s homosexuality. Do kos and others want the right to continue to gay bash or could it be that they aren’t really all that accepting of gays…

    “the democrats already know how flawed they are…”

    That’s a joke, right? Both parties claim moral high ground, as John Kerry did in the previous elections (“Bunch of crooks…”), Ted Kennedy and the rest of the leadership.

    So, give me a break, and I will impose upon you that reality check. :roll:

    Mark Foley gives all homo’s a bad name!:lol:

    There’s nothing wrong with that life style, just ask Barbra Boxer or Nancy Poluci!

    Peejz,
    I believe the phrase you were looking for is “I couldn’t care less.” Saying “I could care less” signifies that you do, in fact, care to some degree. Normally I would refrain from making such a hair-splitting comment, but I’ve noticed this particular misuse of vernacular to be quite prominent amongst all people as of late…
