WND : 'Gay' activist held info about Foley During campaign to 'out' lawmakers
2006-10-04
A radical activist on a mission to "out" conservative homosexual lawmakers and Capitol Hill staffers held on to information about Rep. Mark Foley's relationships with underage male pages, suggesting the story would break at the time of mid-term elections.

Blogger Jim Hoft of Gateway Pundit points to a campaign by two activists who had Foley on their "target list" of 20 people and shared the information with the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

Foley abruptly resigned Friday as reports surfaced of inappropriate e-mails with a male page. Later, ABC News released online instant messages of more salacious exchanges. Foley has issued a statement saying he checked himself into an alcohol rehabilitation program at an undisclosed location.

In July 2004, the homosexual newspaper Washington Blade reported the two activists, Mike Rogers and John Aravosis, were "loosely heading an ongoing outing campaign on the Hill" ahead of the Senate vote on the Federal Marriage Amendment, which would bar same-sex marriage.

Among nearly 20 names on the "target list" provided to the Blade were Foley and Democratic Sen. Barbara Mikulski of Maryland

#5  See Cal Thomas's column for today; I found it in the Milwaukee Journal entitled "Scandal? What Scandal?"

Thomas's thesis is that our society ridicules standards, but has the moral horrors when somebody breaks them.

I promise to ask my son, "Korora," to teach me how to post links soon.

#3  Accessories, probably so - complicity by silence is complicity none the less. You have a duty to report a crime that you know is ongoing.

#2  So does this mean that these guys are accessories to any wrongdoings commited while they were 'waiting until mid-term elections' before stopping Foley?

#1  The end result is the gay agenda may take a bigger hit than the Republicans. And Gay equals Democrats in the mind of most Americans so they may not weather this very well either.

They should have outed or stopped this bastard a year ago and innoculated themselves instead of trying to gain points right before the election.
