Who Protected The Pervert Congressman?
By Cliff Kincaid
October 2, 2006
Page 3 of 3
It goes without saying that the Democrats don't have a much better record on this subject. Democratic Rep. Gerry Studds sexually abused a 17-year-old male congressional page but never expressed any regret. Rep. Barney Frank had a homosexual lover, selected from a "hot bottom" ad that ran in the Washington (Gay) Blade newspaper, who operated a prostitution ring out of the congressman's apartment. Though he was reprimanded by the House, Frank is still a prominent member of Congress and held in high regard by fellow Democrats.
But knee-jerk references to Democratic misconduct won't get Republicans off the hook on this one. This is the time for conservative media outlets, including the blogs, to insist that the Republican Party and the conservative movement stop protecting homosexuals in its ranks. The pro-homosexual groups in the Republican Party which shielded Foley from legitimate questions about his closeted life should be exposed and discredited.
