Shameful Dem Strategery

Cross-posted at Texas Hold 'Em Blogger.

According to Hotline, the Democrats’ playbook on the Mark Foley resignation is right out of the sewer, filled with lies, smears, insinuations, guilt by association.

Here’s a sample:

Pay no heed to the distinction between the e-mails and IMs. There’s no evidence (yet) that any Republican leaders knew about Foley’s cybersex IMs. There’s plenty of evidence that they knew how uncomfortable the “overly friendly” e-mails made at least one page. So the Dems will press the GOP on what they knew about the former and will constantly, in their press releases, refer to the “GOP’s knowledge of the sexually explicit e-mails.”

In other words, lie, obfuscate and smear. The Democrats know there is a difference between the e-mails and the IMs. They’re betting you don’t — or won’t after they get done muddying the waters with help from the drive-by media.

The IMs were sexually explicit; the e-mails were not. The Dem strategery deliberately tells their people to lie and confuse one with the other.

Also, trying to connect Terry Schiavo to this and even Jack Abramoff.

And the money. That started already here in Wisconsin, with lefty bloggers trying to smear Mark Green and John Gard by demanding they return every penny even remotely connected with Foley.

Use the Foley cash. Already, the DSCC wonders why George Allen didn’t immediately return the Foley. The quotable Phil Singer: “It is more than a little disturbing that Allen apparently sees nothing wrong with holding on to contributions he got from an adult who has been caught sending sexually explicit email to children.”

This is shameful and needs to be called for what it is: political opportunism at its worst and exploitation of a child to the same level as what Foley exploited him.

The Democrats don’t give a tinker’s damn about this young man’s well-being. They’d use him in the same manner as Foley did — and in some ways are — just to regain power.

Just wondering ... how much did this cost George Soros?
