Moral Equivalency

From SavetheGOP.com

I think more needs to be said about former Congressman and sexual predator Mark Foley. Look for many on the right to traipse out arguments of moral equivalency. Now is not the time to argue about blue dresses or Barney Frank’s lover running a gay prostitution ring out of their home. The only thing close to Foley’s actions is the accused rape of Juanita Broderick by then governor Bill Clinton. A charge President Clinton has yet to answer. But nothing compares to this. You do not excuse one bad behavior with another.

Foley is a sexual predator and should be prosecuted. Also at fault is the House Leadership who knew about Foley’s shenanigans and did nothing but tell him to stop. The GOP leadership is eating good old-fashioned oh s&*t burgers right about now and they deserve it.

I‘m disgusted.

Comments

Even though the selective outrage by the Dems is further evidence of their lack of fitness to run the country, Foley is only accused; when all the facts come out, you might be surprised.  The Dems are quick to judge Republicans and hesitant to judge their own.

Rush just sagely pointed out that the Republicans, unlike the Dems, haven’t gone after the accuser, as did the Clinton administration with Paula Jones, Juanita Broadderick, etc.  It’s not any sort of equivalency; it’s just more Dem hypocrisy.

I think it is entirely appropriate to point out people who are being hypocritical.  I maintain that there isn’t a lot of difference between what Foley did and what Clinton did, and while that doesn’t excuse Foley’s actions it would certainly be a sound argument against those who defended Clinton but would all but castrate Foley.

Foley is a sexual predator

What? Why, because he’s attracted to people much younger than he is? Because he hits on them? By that standard, every single male over 30 is a “sexual predator.” They ALL think 17-year-olds are hot.
