Mark Foley is not a gay man, he is a pedophile. Homosexual men have relationships with men not boys.
In vino veritas, in wine is truth.
Under the influence of alcohol people often will do things that in a sober state they have thought about....

It seems to be a spider's web of lies. Hastert says one thing, then another. He can't remember. Foley suddenly is a molested alcoholic. It sure sounds like people knew, or should have been smart enough to know that there was something evil going on...but NOTHING substantial was done.

I Know Barney Frank and Foley is no Barney Frank

Its a shame that he's going to come out this way. Now the idiot flocks of sheep in america will assume that all gay men are pedophiles, just like they've been taught from the likes of the GOP conservatives. Gay men are NOT pedophiles. I hope the enlightened people of america will use their brain for once and separate things. Given the sad state of our country these days, I am not counting on it.

Mark Foley is a Disgrace to public servants everywhere. I am in a public servant, I am in the Military. What he did distained himself. Thank God Congress, are President, and Florida wants something done. May God Continue to Bless this great nation

Geez... maybe I should commit a horrendous crime and blame it on the pervert who molested me when I was 11. Can I get a "Get out of jail Free" card now, please?

I'm ready for my close-up Mr. DeMille. Be sure to get my good side, I'm thinking of running for Congress or at the very least, opening a bordello.

It is unlikely that someone goes fishing for 5 or 6 years (that we know of) and never catches a fish. All of his IM's are trying to get an underage person to meet him for sex. He must have been successful at least a few times, or he would not have continued. I think we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg. I also believe that this may be a common practice and that is why they are covering it up. I don't think it was only him. There is much much more to this story, and it is going to be the biggest scandal we have seen in a long long time.

As a true conservative who has never had a problem with individual liberties such as gay rights, I think this new "news" is appalling.

Now Foley is an abuse victim and is gay. Yeah. Play the trauma card. Did Rove write his statement? Seems to me that the Republican leadership is still suffering from an '04 hangover. When in doubt, try to demonize gay people. It worked well in '04 so why not try it again?

When will most Americans wake up and realize that being "conservative" is not about the bible? It's certain principles. Less government and more citizen responsibility.

The 21st century "Get out of jail free card": "I'm a Gay American molested by a priest...oh yeah a Catholic priest"

This is the worst type of fraud a person can commit...IF Foley walks then every individual ever convicted of any crime while under the influene should be EQUALLY treated and pardoned, should that be the outcome...ITS ONLY FAIR....the spin doctors are at it hard and heavy...now its "I was molested"...what next..."the dog told me to do it" .....please...this is a prime example of the fox watchin the hen house....

HE SHOULD GO TO jail. I THINK HE IS USING THE CHURCH THING TO SAY THIS IS WHY I DID IT. SHAM ON HIM. I DON,T THINK HE WAS EVER WITH A PRIST!!!!!!

As a mental health professional, I've been bothered by the recent misuse of the word "pedophile" by the media and others. Pedophilia refers to a pattern of attraction to people who are physically children (ie prepubescent), and has nothing to do with age of consent laws. My understanding is that the minimum age for pages is 16. While sexual contact with 16 year olds is against the law in many states, it does not make one a pedophile.

First the alcohol, now the clergry...Seems like the man will place the blame anywhere but where it belongs....on himself! What happened to taking responsibility for your own actions?

Funny how the Republicans that made such a fuss out of the Lewinski affair are now complaining about the publicity the Foley business is getting. Personally, I think there is a difference between consenting sexual encounters among 2 adults and an old geezer abusing his power position to get hot on young boys. Especially considering the geezer was in charge of preventing pedophilia in the internet. The hipocrisy of the whole thing is simply repulsive.

Just because he is a big shot with money, he is no better than anyone else that does the same thing but goes to prison for it. I am sure money will pay his way out, probaly our tax money. That sliming dog.

Foley, and only Foley, is responsible for his actions. The Republican party is not responsible for the things that he did. He used his position to take advantage over young men that aspire to serve this country. All those that were aware of his acts and seeked to cover it just to hold a seat in Contgress should step down and be sanctioned. I just hope he never got to do anything with these young people, although I believe by reading one particular IM that he met at least one and offered to provide him liquor in his house. shame on him.

What I want to know is, would everyone be as upset if this were a young GIRL? Although that would be as bad as this is, I somehow think that because it was a young BOY this is getting more coverage. This is so sad because this guy is a monster and should be put away. For him to "blame" alcohol and claim to have been molested as a youngster is even sicker.

Foley needs to give us a break. A pedophile is a pedophile.
"Gay" isn't an excuse for being a pedophile. "Alcohlism" isn't an excuse for being a pedophile. I'm gay and I'm offended that Foley is attempting to connect this to being gay.

Gee, of course Mark Foley is not lying to the public when he claims to be a molested alcoholic who never had improper physical contact with a minor. Why should we doubt him? All his other lies certainly don't illustrate a pattern? Of course, based upon Foley's claims, we should feel sorry for him, because he is obviously a victim here in claiming he is the only one who was ever molested.

No wonder the GOP leadership ignored the red flags and is blaming the Democrats for this scandal. Not accepting responsibility for anything seems to be one of the "core values" nowadays for Republican. Sick.

An alcohol rehabilitation facility? ....really? since when does being a pedophile means that you can be treated for alcoholism???!!... and recover from engaging in sexual interactions with minors?

It's time for the republican majority bozos in D.C. to submit their resignations and go home !!

any more excuses? so let me get this straight he's an alcohlic sexually abused gay man. why can't people be accountable for their own actions and not blame it on real problems and a way of life. one thing's for sure he is totally sick in the head! and he needs more than a slap on the wrist!

HMMMM...it sounds like,"I DID NOT HAVE SEX WITH THAT LEWINSKI WOMAN" to me. same old .....different day!

How convient for there to have been a pedophile priest in Foley's background that he can use as an excuse for being a dispicable human being! How clever of him to tell us of his alchohol problems and to sign into "rehab" and have this come out at such a convient time. I'm sorry, I don't buy it either. The man is a perv and a typical politician - voting for legislation that would make internet contact with minors a crime - while committing that same crime as he goes along. If you ask me - the republicans are going to cover this up, like they cover up everything else that happens under their watch AND I AM A REPUBLICAN! I'm ashamed of my affiliation, and more ashamed that people KNEW this was occuring a year ago, and let it go on and on.

for GOD sake...vote Democratic so we can get these bozos out!

What's important to remember is that we can only make judgements about what we KNOW not how we choose to connect the dots. The guy clearly was into lascivious with chatting young boys, and we can make a judgement about that. But, so far, there is nothing other than a reference to San Diego that indicates it went any farther than that. So all those who choose not to connect just existing dots, but imaginary or hypothetical dots as well, are doing not Foley but justice a disservice. Maybe the guy got off talking naughty on the net but didn't take it further--who knows . . . we certaintly don't. And while there is certainly something perverse about nasty messages, there's a huge gulf between that and real life behavior. Let's judge this guy by what we KNOW he's done, and hold off condemning for what he MAY HAVE done until we get facts there.

If those same facts show that the people in charge of things on the hill knew what this guy was up to and looked the other way--which again is still not certain--then they should be slammed hard as well.

He makes me physically ill. It's the public relations version of using civilians - especially children - as a bunker shield. Hiding behind the labels "gay man" and "victim of priest abuse." McGreevey was a gay man, but while he did cheat on his wife-and is an idiot-, he didn't engage in acts of child sexual abuse. A victim of clergy abuse? "Hey! Look over there! It's a pedophilic priest!" (exit Foley stage right)

That former page said it correctly, "sick, sick, sick..." (ad infinitum)

I find it wierd that he already has a cival atty.Is more comming?????

Apparently this party can suspend habeus corpus, lead America into an occupation of Iraq, condone torture, hand out corrupt military contracts, run up a huge deficit, etc. etc., but it takes a pedophile to bring them down. What does this say about our nation that only sex gets people's attention?

This is a joke. I agree with the previous comment... this seems to reinforce the belief that all gay men are pedophiles and/or were abused as kids. Foley is not a gay man. He is a pedophile, he is an adult who sought to be involved with an underage boy. A pedophile, just like a man who seeks to be involved with an underage girl. Alcoholism and previous abuse are just cheap excuses. He lied to our faces a few days ago... how can he expect people to believe THIS?

I dunno - Mr Foley makes a point of 'splaining how he was victimized (and we assume, traumatized) as a young teen by a person of authority and trust, then dismisses his own actions because he didn't have a "hands-on" encounter (we are to believe)?

Honestly, as the parent of a sex offender, I am more than familiar with the "its-not-my-fault" mentality. Sexual predation is not a black and white issue, but real responsibility for one's actions is definitely the best first step!

Sorry, but this is another example of the "Values" party showing that they are just like the rest of us (heathen Democrats included).
Cut the morals crap GOP - you don't wear it as well as you would have us believe!

gee, what a nerve -- so now He Is a Victim? 'been a bad boy because he was molested by a priest'? - I don't believe it for a second!

It's ridiculous the way Foley's people are trying to pass his repugnant behavior off as that of a man molested as a child. To say it's part of his "recovery" when he's been in that recovery for two days is an insult to our intelligence. Is he suddenly on Step 9 now? We need less spin and more of him taking responsibility for his actions. I write this as a gay person who is appalled. His behavior is shameful.

Mark Foley's situation is identical to the scores of Roman Catholic priests who are arrested developmentally and emotionally. These pedophiles prey on the goodness and innocencce of youth, then manipulate them for sexual control. The young page said it all..."sick, sick, sick". But the Republicans who were there to protect the pages preferred not to listen to him be in denial rather than jeopardize their power and control.
Lock 'im up!

How many times, people, how many times? Let's all say it together one more time, "The moral majority is neither."

Mr. Foley's behavior is part of a larger societal trend - taking no personal responsibility for your actions. Like so many other people, he chooses to blame some other event or other person when in fact, he is the real culprit and 100% responsible for his own actions. AND by the way, a homosexual man loves other men, pedophiles love underage boys!

I'm just glad to know that Republicans do have sex no matter if it's gay or straight. I th0ought they didn't. However, this scum is a perverted pedofile. Pedofile is the key word here. He used his office to abuse children -- 16 year olds are children. Even republicans knwo that.

This man resigned and checked into a facility to HIDE ; nothing else. He is a coward and so are his co hearts in the congress who knew this about him. Hasert DID KNOW. Did he participate? He didn't report it. You repubs do recall Monica Lewinsky don't you. AT LEAST SHE WAS GROWN!

Where there's smoke, there's fire! I think someone will come out of the woodwork eventually and tell of their inappropriate sexual relationship with Foley. Foley is a predator and didn't just develop an attraction to boys within the last few years. To think that he only satisifed his sexual urges with instant messages and e-mails would be niave. Foley knows those he abused and knows that if they come forward to tell their story then he is definetly going to jail. This is a man who is desperate and I wouldn't be surprised if pressure has already been put to those he abused to keep quiet.

I was molested when I was six years old and I have never molested other children. Nice try Foley, but this isn't going to work. If anything, you would have know how deep the scars run from being a victim and you wouldn't have victimized other children yourself. The fact is that you are a pedophile and you used your power to groom teenaged boys so you could gratify your own desires. You are a sick man, but I don't feel sorry for you. Blaming this on alcohol and being a victim this late in the game makes you more despicable than I already thought you were. You are trying to hide behind the walls of a rehab facility and blame your troubles on someone other than yourself. How typical from the party that spews moral values not to practice what they preach. And for Hastert, Boehner, Reynolds and the other who have sheilded your disgusting sexual appetites, there will be no hiding either. Americans see right through all the lies and excuses and you are all done. We've had enough of the corruption, lies, and cronyism to last a lifetime. At least be a man and own up to harming countless children who went to DC hoping to learn how our government works, with the hope of future careers in politics. Your diseased contact with these kids will be like ripples in a pond and I hope that they will realize how badly they've been used by you and seek to ensure it doesn't happen to others.

ABC news still have not revealed how they have verified that the AIM chat transcripts are valid. Nor do they make a distinction between chat transcripts and the email that was sent by the former Congressman. I have called Brian Ross' office several times and no one in his office will comment on how they verified the chat transmissions.

Let me explain for those that don't understand the difference. All emails have a digital signature that can be traced back to the sender. These transcripts from the AIM chats are mere text files that can be manipulated.

If all ABC NEWS has are these "chat logs" then it is basically a he said, he said thing.

As a user of AIM for nearly 10 years I have saved chat logs all total of 2 times. I know no one that saves chats files so I question the validity of the 52 chat transcripts.

Foley is disgusting, not because he is gay, he gives gay men a bad name, not because he may be an alcholic, because he can't tell the truth and neither can the Republican majority who are more concerned about power and not the people.

I'm absolutely sick of this adminstration and all the harm they have caused this country. But, I'm just a middle class working single mom trying just to live a good life and teach my kids right from wrong. Paying bills, living paycheck to paycheck, is easy compared to trying to teach kids what's right, wrong, moral or immoral when you see the leaders we have had as examples in our country.

To be a Congressional Page you must be 16 years old. To have consenual sex in DC you must be 16 years old. I see no laws broken and a lot allegations of wrong doing. Where is the proof? Mark Foley has, perhaps, distastefully to some, engaged in relations with those who by nature must be of legal age to do so in the District. Change the law and increase the age of consent if you think these kids are being abused by power and sex hungry pols. For that matter, lets outlaw sex in Washington. Otherwise, give me proof he propositioned underaged kids in DC....UNDER 16 and with criminal intent....or move on to the next story.

Thank you ASurvivorInUtah. As you will know, one of the things that is really showing up in the Foley scandal is the extent to which the culture of enabling is alive and well. I was a victim of the priest Tolkien, son of J.R.Tolkien of Lord of the Rings fame. He too had the power of money and the Catholic Church to which he was giving $mmm form the inheritance from his father. Power and money continue to weave a screen around these criminals. In the case of my abuser, his prosecution was put off again and again until he eventually died without even being brought to court. The sick paradox is that all those children who paid money for the books and the movie unknowingly funded his escape from punishment. Hundreds of his victims were terrified ever to come forward because of the campaign of his lawyers and the Cathilic Church. Seem like deja vu all over again except this time in the Church of Congress. Meanwhile, I am in my third year of therapy at 60+ years old with a broken life behind me. And like you it wouldn't occur to me to abuse children.

I did think of one way to authenticate the chat log transmissions. When the file was created the computer has a time stamp as to when the file was created. I would like to know if ABC was given access to the victim's computer.

If the chat transcripts were not authentic ... do you think Foley would have resigned? Wouldn't he, instead, be standing on any soapbox he could find and loudly professing his innocence? His actions are the actions of one who knows he committed a grievous malefaction.

In a society which boasts protection of democracy around the world, we seem to have no problem trying people in the press. What happened to innocent until proven guilty? We have already found Mark Foley guilty of and exercised "diagnosis" of a psychological disorder which he clearly does not have. Foley is not by definition a pedophile. According to the DSM IV diagnostic criteria he does not meet the essential requirements, at least by the information the press has reported. Granted, adult relationships and sexual overtures are frowned upon in our society but how different would the country's reaction be if the same emails were from an alleged drunk man to a 16 year old girl? How many times have we seen heads turn by "adult males" to look at under age females, i.e. high school cheerleaders? The double standard is clear. We are a confused nation. If we are going to fight wars around the world claiming to defend democracy we need to start at home and practice what we preach.

ASurvivorInUtah: No one has challenged the validity of the chats. Sure they are somewhat questionable, but Foley would not have resigned if at least the general tone was true. I imagine he is not so much a coward that he would resign instantly over fabricated AIM messages.

BTW, I log ALL instant message conversations. Most clients do this by checking a box, many by default. A 17 year old kid would know this, since it's a primary means of communication and they often want to go back and read what people said. This would especially be true if you were chatting with a Representative.

questions

1) Why didn't hastert, boerner, etc. tell the democrats, the media, and us about this pedophile months ago? Seems like they, and Rice too for that matter, just can't seem to remember their
powerlusting incompetency behaviors. That lust for power has corrupted the entire leadership.

2) GOP has been in control for years. Why have they let the Ethics committee die? eg - Foley, Ney,
Cunningham, Delay, Lewis, at al. None have faced ethics violations.
They've really enabled a large group of criminals and crooks. This is much worse than the check cashing scandal the Dem's allowed. Time for the GOP to be swept out.

3) If Foley was drunk, let's check his emails and im's for grammar,
syntax, and punctuation. Just like driving, drinking will impair the
typing and thought processes. Curious to see them analyzed in this way.

Isn't it hilarious that a political party that is constantly railing against the gay community, gay marriage, sex before marriage etc etc has a loon like this in its ranks, chasing after a 16 year old boy. What a bunch of hypocrites. I wonder how many of the twisted morons are as deeply troubled as Foley.

The first sentence of this report should be clarifed. ABC News has not confirmed that "Mark Foley was sexually molested by a clergyman when Foley was between the ages of 13 and 15" - that is Foley's allegation.

Also I agree that ABC News should say if they got the messages from the Pages or an independent source. Suppose one of the Pages was faking messages or e-mails?

Amberlynne - I can't answer that, I know what I would do but I have never met, or for that matter even heard of this guy before Friday. It certainly doesn't look good for him, I would just like ABC News to have all their facts in line and disclose how and when they found this information.

I still believe that the law of the land is that a person is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

Considering how in recent years the mainstream media has reported inaccurate news stories near election day I am slightly skeptical. It would be nice that someone would do their homework once in awhile, but the mainstream media is just lazy and we the viewers are suppose accept what they report without questioning them.

I am just thinking of another way to verify these stories. I am sure that AOL has some log that shows when a user logged in.

Jay, are you being naive or just displaying some kind of blind loyalty? You actually believe that
a man in such position of power and authority will simply resign and walk away without as little as demand for a proof if these transcripts were fabricated by ABC?
Come on wake up to reality and stop trying to make yourself into some kind of computer geek who knows everything.

dude, my IM saves all my messages all the time. I have all my IMs dating back years and it's neither difficult nor confusing. it's a simple setting on my messenger.

in fact, I don't know anyone who doesn't save their IMs.

When are we going to wake up to the fact that this is just another case of lies and cover ups by the Republican Congress who would sell their mothers to stay in power. May all the lies and deceit be answered by the American people on Election Day 2006.

While it's true the age of consent is 16 in D.C., these pages were not contacted until they had gone home and we do not have all the places where they live to know the laws in those states. I think we all need to wait and see what the investigation turns up to determine whether or not laws were broken, and which laws apply to the internet. People who are brushing this aside need to take a step back and wait for the facts.

As a user of AIM for nearly 10 years I have saved chat logs all total of 2 times. I know no one that saves chats files so I question the validity of the 52 chat transcripts.

That's the problem. You're a user, Not an admin. Perhaps you aren't aware that your chat sessions can be logged on the server without your knowledge.

He isn't denying it because he knows they are legit. Do you really think he would have resigned over a few suggestive emails? Not a chance.

Is it just a bit ironic that the laws he sponsored are the ones he violated and can be prosecuted under?

I find it interesting that Mark Foley heads to an alcohol treatment facility upon his being outed for his sexual predatory behavior on kids. Alcholoism doesn´t ¨cause¨ pedophilia. Alcohol abuse is the result of suppressed conflict and/or anger and one´s predisposition to getting the disease upon exposure to the trigger, or alcohol. His actions are despicable no matter what, but particularly so in light of the fact that he was a person in a power position. I just hope America wakes up to these self-righteous right wingers who walk around preaching purity and moral values while they molest our children while doing so. A hypocrite is worse than a liar. Vote them out and start fresh.

Mr. Foley has admitted his guilt by his words and his actions. A full accounting of the unsavory facts is necessary to put this matter to rest. Even if 16 is the age of consent in DC I doubt very strongly that families are particularly interested in sending their kids to Congress to be preyed on by people who hold power over these children by age and position. We're talking about a 54-year old male and a sixteen-year old boy, remember? Give him his day in court and let's see what ensues.

Now the second question is whether Mr. Hastert or others shielded him from exposure. That would be criminal too.

I want to know where ABC got the AIM transcripts from, and when? How long have they been sitting on this story?

What I find hilarious about this whole thing is that Foley's actions are only illegal because of legislation he himself pushed through congress, criminalizing online what is legal in person. What an idiot. He deserves whatever he gets, for pushing irrational and indefensible laws.

I can't beleive the people who in this blog section are trying to defend this scum bucket. they are obviously openly very stupid or pedophiles or maybe both. this guy was a real scum and so are the ones who covered it up. He should have resigned a long time ago but was allowed to remain for political reasons thats sick.

Brian Ross and team keep up the god work and find out how much the republican party knew of these perversions and when.If Hastert,Boehner,Reynolds,Alexander and Shimkus knew of the nature of his stalking 5 years or 5 months ago and kept silent,then they should all resign.

"If all ABC NEWS has are these "chat logs" then it is basically a he said, he said thing." - Jay

Consider for a second that the man resigned in disgrace. You don't resign from a power position unless you are (a) guilty as sin and usually also (b) caught red handed.

"As a user of AIM for nearly 10 years I have saved chat logs all total of 2 times. I know no one that saves chats files so I question the validity of the 52 chat transcripts."

Wow, convincing argument! I know plenty of people who save chat transcripts. Doesn't seem unlikely to save one where your perv boss is coming on to you - just in case you need it in the future as evidence.

Denial is an amazing thing. Even in the face of this type of total disgrace, people can deny, excuse, obfuscate, blame, etc.

Let Hillary be the special prosecutor. She knows how to get to the bottom of giant right-wing conspiracies.

To those of you who will say sixteen is the age of conscent go ask any parents of a sixteen year old boy or girl if your 50+ year old freind can have a date with them and then stick your face out with your hands at your side, let me know what happens next.

Shame on anyone who is a legislator, or priest, or parent, or anyone who says he or she is protecting children and then preying on them. This is a sad case, and I can only hope someone pays for this. The so-called leadership in the House and Senate should merely dissolve into thin air with this disgusting, unseemly mess.

Shame on Hastert and company.

Believe me, there is more. Not one of these "RATS" would give up his cheese without a fight. Let's wait for the other shoe to drop.

Thank you Amberlynn you are absolutely right ! Yes, why would he resign if it wasn't true or if he wasn't caught red handed so to speak. By that I mean he knew the jig was up because he knew investigators would seize his PC and examine the hard drive. And YES, Jay you are probably right in your 2nd comment. We won't know how Ross got the information until his investigative reporting on this is over but then he might not want to reveal his source. Remember Ross just asked Foley some questions when the guy up and resigned not knowing 100% if the transcripts were in fact from Foley. Looks like he got his answer.

Special to: Ain't Buyin'It, ASurvivorInUtah and PriestAbuse_Survivor, I'm very sorry for what happened to you. Your abusers deserved to be tarred, feathered and dragged through the streets and much worse. We four are perfect examples of just because you were a victim of sexual abuse does not mean that you too will be an abuser ! But maybe more aware. You three are 110% correct in your statements. Please don't allow it to define you, who you are as a person. Because it doesn't. You deserve better and much much more !

For those who see no problem with this issue, or try to blame the victim, I'm sure also saw no problem with the Lewinsky affair, or blamed her.
A 52 year old man having sexual relations with a 16 yr old boy is not normal, let alone a 52 yr old politician with a 16 yr old under his 'care'. Let's look at this situation for what it is, a sick act by a sick person. It was wrong for the President to have sex with Lewonsky, it's wrong for a congressman to have sexual relations with a page. Let's not cloud our judgement based on our political point of view.

These conversations do not appear to me to be the words of a man who is just "chatting" with some underage males, rather the words of a man soliciting sex. I can't believe he maintains that he did not have sexual contact with these kids, pedophiles dont just have conversations, they molest.
Either way, I'm glad he's not in the House any longer.
How have we come this far, electing child-molesters as representatives?

He's not a pedofil. A pedofil goes after prepubescent youths. 16-year old males able to live away from home are not children, but young adults. While this whole matter does have a strong yuck factor, it's not about a pedofile.

Foley himself admitted he wrote the emails and instant messages...

I just want to know, what gives Foley any more rights than any one else.?
I was molested several times as a younger person, should that be okay for me to molest some one because I was? does that make me gay? personally it makes me physically ill to even think about it! I would never do that to another human being.
questioning your sexuality is one thing, but actually going after a child, someome under the age of 18 just because it happened to you does not give you a right to do the same. If it was any one else, they would be in prison.
It is wrong, plane and simple!
He should not expect any special treatment just because of what has happened in his past! he knew it was wrong, but he continued to do it! it happened to him, he should know how it feels!
Foley should be put in jail, and the others who knew about it should also be put in jail for covering it up, no matter who they are!
This is a disgrace, and I think that these people are the reason why there are so many laws are being held back!
they all should be blocked out of any government office! and should be put in jail.
