Seriously, the only content to the OP is the accusation that Pelosi knowingly supports and marched “with” NAMBLA and that gay people are all perverts in the same way that going after young boys in your employ is. Baseless, pointless.
However, the evidence seems to suggest that Christian conservatives aren’t that moved by this scandal so far. I never would have expected that the relevelations of Allen throwing the n word around willy nilly and stuffing severed deer heads in mailboxes would have resulted in his rise in the polls, but that seems to be the case. How voters react to things is often pretty odd, and sometimes what they are actually responding to isn’t the most obvious reaction to the big story in the national news.

Actually in googling “NAMBLA float” it appears that they do have one that’s been in several gay pride parages. Still looking for a pic. to confirm.

I’m guessing on this recipe:
20 gallons of vanilla ice cream
75 gallons of root beer
1 small cute boy, topped with whipped cream and maraschino cherries.
[QUOTE}I think the base has to realize after a while, who knew about it? Who knew what, when? When the base finds out who’s feeding this monster, they’re not going to be happy. The people who want to see this thing blow up are ABC News and a lot of Democratic operatives, people funded by [liberal activist]
George Soros."
(Hastert) went on to suggest that operatives aligned with former President Bill Clinton knew about the allegations and were perhaps behind the disclosures in the closing weeks before the Nov. 7 midterm elections, but he offered no hard proof.
[/QUOTE]
So Hastert is claiming that the Democrats knew a Republican Congressman was a potential scandal, but the Republicans didn’t know about it?
It’s a desperate defense to make sure as many of their own base turn out in a bit. They HAVE to know they’re taking a beating in the undecideds with this one so it’s all about base now.
[QUOTE=kunilou]
What kind of defense is that?
[/QUOTE]
Very poor, much like the one Hastert used when he said that he might’ve been told about it a year or two ago but doesn’t remember, as if being told one of your guys was cybering with teenagers could POSSIBLY go in one ear and out the other without setting off every last alarm bell and siren in his head.

Dems, hypocritical as a whole, embrace perverts … see Pelosi marching with NAMBLA and the rest in the gay pride festivities.

And Dick Cheney hasn’t disowned his lesbian daughter! The shame!

Pubs deal with individual hypocritical perverts…see Foley.

Do the Pubs have the balls to fight this fight? Would the evangelicals listen to this argument?
[/QUOTE]
If you mean, might they try and spin it that way, I realy wouldn’t put that sort of scummyness beyond any current political party. So I expect some thing like
“We had one pervert and got rid of him, they do nothing but support perverts. Ra,ra,ra, Gay Marriage is bad because it will make all your children’s teachers into perverts,…”
[hijack]Well, if he means linked in the sense of “Iraq is becoming a chaotic mess that is a magnet and a breeding ground for terrorists” then I can see his point.
See, Cheney makes sense if you know how to interpret what he says![/hijack]
[QUOTE=Diogenes the Cynic]
Does anyone have a cite for NAMBLA having a float in the Gay Pride Parade? I’m calling bullshit on that.
[/QUOTE]
I’m guessing that this is the kind of shit that Rush Limbaugh spews on his radio show, and of course the dittoheads swallow it down like the good Kool-Aid drinkers they are.
I’ve googled two or three sources that have indicated that NAMBLA is no longer allowed to participate in Gay Pride Parades. They were for several years and caused much dissent among the ranks.
Unfortunately, I happened to hear Pat Robertson saying Hilary Clinton and Rudy Giulani were as bad as Mark Foley because they marched in gay pride parades in which NAMBLA participated. I was doing other things at the time, so I don’t know the name of the show, but it’s the one which followed Keith Olberman, I assume on CNN. Of course, if this is intended to be an attack on Democrats, I don’t know how brining in Rudy Giulani helps unless the argument is “No one is innocent.”

Surely, if the USA is anything like the UK, all political parties know the dirt on each other, and the Press is well informed.
The only interesting thing about such ‘revelations’ is the timing
it is a bit like tit for tat expulsion of dubious diplomats
I anticipate a Democrat scandal, or a hint that Foley was about to become a serious liability.
[/QUOTE]
And in the UK it is one thing knowing something and another to avoid being totally screwed over by our very strict Libel Laws if you don’t have total, rock solid proof.

No doubt they’ll try, but I think it’ll fail.

It’s already working to keep the base onside. The TV talking heads have already started babbling about Bill Clinton and that Democrat congressman who did something back in 1983, and sure enough, Scylla started dutifully parroting the same nonsense just yesterday.
