It seems odd that all these leftists, who are constantly blathering about gay rights, are desperately seeking to persecute Foley for being gay.
I wonder what their homosexual base make of all this?

Foley isn't being persecuted for being gay. He's being persecuted for hitting on 16-year-old kids. It wouldn't matter if he were straight, and hitting on high school girls. He'd be in the same trouble.

Well, Andrew Sullivan by all appearances doesn't seem too happy.
The Dems seem to have insulted members of their own base, insulted social conservatives in this blatant attempt to depress their vote and attack their "leaders" and...they didn't get Hastert's head nor any guarentee they'll take Foley's seat.
I'm trying to see where their net gain here is, and I'm not finding it.

From what I understand, they think it is ok, 'cause they want to 'out' all the hypocricial gay GOP congressmen who vote against gay marriage, etc.
