HLI Responds to Reports that Foley was Victim of Sexual Molestation by Clergyman

“If his claim that he was the victim of sexual molestation by a clergyman, it only further proves that known homosexuals should not be admitted to the priesthood.…” —Jason Jones, HLI director of public relations

(Front Royal, VA)—Jason Jones, director of public relations for Human Life International, issued the following statement regarding the resignation of former Rep. Mark Foley:

“There is never an acceptable excuse or rationale for the type of deviant behavior former Congressman Mark Foley has admitted to. Homosexuality is every bit a part of the culture of death as is abortion and contraception. Not surprisingly, Foley was an ardent supporter of both, representing the interests of Planned Parenthood 64 percent of the time thus far in 2006.

“Homosexuality, like abortion and contraception, denigrates the intrinsic dignity of and respect for human life. Support of these actions breed a mindset where life becomes a commodity and the highest achievement is self-indulgence, which inevitably leads to the reckless behavior we are now witnessing. It was embrace of depravity that led Foley to abuse the power and authority of his office and prey upon young, underage Congressional pages.

“If his claim that he was the victim of sexual molestation by a clergyman, it only further proves that known homosexuals should not be admitted to the priesthood. Foley’s actions were that of homosexual predator, not a pedophile. Homosexuals reproduce sexually by molesting children. This creates a cycle of violence and disordered behavior that creates future generations of abusers and predators.

“This cycle must be broken if we are ever to protect our children. Foley should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law for his misdeeds, as should anyone guilty of perpetrating similar crimes on him as a teenager. Furthermore, any member of the leadership who knowingly covered up this despicable behavior should resign or be removed from office.”

Personally I doubt Foley was molested at all. People seem pretty willing to discount his claim to have an alcohol problem but are a little too accepting of his claim to have been molested by the clergy.

I don't know about his boozing, but since Foley is a faggot, it is entirely believable. That is a common route to homosexuality.

•Foley Lawyer Cites Second-Hand Smoke, Trans Fats

Foley Lawyer Cites Second-Hand Smoke, Trans Fats
by Scott Ott

(2006-10-04) — The attorney for disgraced former Rep. Mark Foley today offered more biographical background about his client who allegedly used his elected position to prey on high school boys sexually.

Previously, attorney and longtime friend David Roth had confessed that Mr. Foley is a mentally-ill alcoholic who was molested by clergy in his youth, and yet takes full responsibity for the unspecified harm he has caused to others.

This morning, Mr. Roth said that Mr. Foley had been exposed to second-hand tobacco smoke, and high levels of partially-hydrogenated soybean oil during his childhood.

I heard Dick Morris say on Hannity & Colmes that the reporter who broke this story said that a Democrat leader also knew about the Foley IMs.

I wonder who that top Democrat is?

Isn't it a little too ironic that now that he's been caught, all of a sudden he claims he was molested? Where was his confession years ago when the priest scandal first broke?

Why didn't he come forward then?

I'd like to know that if Foley is taking full responisibility for his actions as he claims, why he felt he had to announce now that he was molested as a child.

Does this mean he's going to bring a lawsuit against his church for making him a pervert?

THAT is really basic and powerful.

Scarbourough had said that Foleys alcoholism was news to him because he never saw the guy with a drink. I don't believe Foley was an alcoholic, and I don't believe he was molested by clergy. They're just lies to use as a defense in the case of any future legal action.

Foley Scientology, he's probably at a scientology center right now.

Almost the entire Congress of the USA funds planned parenthood every year. This past year they appropriated $250 million to planned barrenhood.

Just wonder who came up with those IMs? Wasn't there privacy of American people violated? Who's the perpetrator? Who stores copies of IM messages?

Huh??????

Research is ongoing re the impact of global warming on Foley’s perversion.

Meanwhile Foley’s attorney is weighing in with Patrick Kennedy’s to determine whether there are any other exculpatory factors.

Speaker Hastert takes full responsibility for not being Patrick Kennedy’s designated driver at the time of the late-night session.
