   After more than 100 stories on ABC, CBS and NBC about the Mark Foley   
   Internet-messaging scandal, it wouldn’t be hard for the average Joe   
   to conclude the Democrats are now the Party of Moral Values.   
      
   Democrats are demanding that Republicans return the monies Foley   
   gave their campaigns. Nancy Pelosi, the House minority leader who   
   would very much like Denny Hastert’s job, is predictably fanning the   
   flames. “We want to know,” she thunders, “why the Republicans chose   
   to protect Mark Foley’s political career rather than protect the   
   children who were in our charge.”   
      
      
      
      
      
   What does this have to do with the Democrats and Nancy Pelosi? The   
   ever-prescient Mark Levin connected the dots on his radio program.   
   NAMBLA easily found lawyers to defend them against the parents of   
   the murdered boy — the American Civil Liberties Union. Democrats   
   like Pelosi are demanding that every Republican return any dirty   
   Foley contributions they received, but do you think a single one of   
   them has ever returned a dime generated for their coffers by the   
   ACLU?   
      
   The American Spectator reported that in a 2001 “gay pride” parade in   
   San Francisco, Nancy Pelosi was just three spots in the parade from   
   radical gay advocate Harry Hay, who avidly spoke in favor of sex   
   with teens and fiercely advocated for NAMBLA’s inclusion in gay-   
   pride parades. Did Pelosi ever protest NAMBLA’s presence in parades?   
      
      
   Consider the most sacred of sacred rights of liberals, abortion.   
   When a teenage girl desires an abortion (or two, or three), do   
   abortion-enabling liberals like Nancy Pelosi defend her as a   
   “child”? Kansas pro-life attorney general Phill Kline fought last   
   year to press abortion clinics to give him medical records of   
   underage girls who sought abortions as part of an investigation into   
   sexual abuse of minors. Liberals like Planned Parenthood fought for   
   what they called the privacy of “women’s medical records.”   
      
   And if liberal Democrats think sex between adults and children is   
   gravely wrong, why are they accepting massive donations from   
   Hollywood? One odd twist in the news networks’ shock-and-awe Mark   
   Foley bombing is that their entertainment network cousins relish the   
   very same activity, for fun and laughter, on their sex-drenched   
   dramas.   
      
      
   No, liberal Democrats in Congress are not the standard-bearers for   
   “child protection” when it comes to sex. And neither are the news   
   networks that suddenly are outraged — outraged, we say! — about Mark   
   Foley’s behavior.   
      
   ABC, CBS and NBC provided exactly zero coverage of the Curley v.   
   NAMBLA suit. (But they did briefly cover NAMBLA — when allegations   
   about it floated into the Catholic priest abuse scandal of monstrous   
   Father Paul Shanley in Boston in 2002.) What of Planned Parenthood’s   
   re-labeling of children as adults to ensure the privacy of their   
   abortions? ABC, CBS and NBC didn’t cover that controversy, either.   
   Outrage over the glorification of man-boy sex in entertainment? Not   
   a peep.   
      
   None of this is meant to minimize what is rightful outrage over   
   Foley’s scummy behavior, and the actions (or inactions) of anyone   
   covering them up. It is simply to demonstrate that some have a right   
   to be outraged. And some don’t.
