Bashing Gays with a Republican Internet Predator

On the right, the Mark Foley page scandal
has been a message problem. Ask one pundit about it and it's the
Democrats' fault. Ask another and it's already been taken care of --
please move along, nothing to see here. The most ridiculous spin so far
has been from Matt Drudge, who confidently 'reported' that the whole thing was just a prank.

group who've been narrowing their message down to one unified point is
the religious right. Gays are all child molesters, they say, what did
you expect? By peddling this myth they hope to shift the blame from the
GOP and onto the gay rights movement.

This message (and the dishonesty used to push it) is well displayed in an article titled The truth about 'gay' pedophilia in the rightwing WorldNetDaily. In it, writer Olivia St. John writes:

"Foley
admits that he is a homosexual. Dare the question be asked whether
homosexuals commit higher rates of molestation than heterosexuals do?
Or are the thought police hard at work silencing the possible
implications?"
