Democrats and Mainstream Media: Sanctimonous Hypocries (Mark Foley adn TimMahoney)

"WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -Democratic U.S. Rep. Tim Mahoney, married with a child, declined to say Monday whether he had carried on an affair with a former aide and paid to keep her quiet, then called for an investigation by the House ethics committee into his own conduct.

Mahoney issued his statement hours after ABC News reported on its Web site that he had agreed to pay $121,000 in March to a former mistress and staff member after being threatened with a sexual harassment lawsuit. Mahoney said he would be vindicated"

 

The above is more interesting than the normal sordid Washington sex story because of Mark Foley (who was also from Florida, maybe even the same district that Mahoney now represents).

 

Remember 2006.  Democrats tand the mainstream media used "guilt by association" to attack the entire Repubilcan Party over Mark Foley, a Republican congressman from Florida.  Foley, of course, was never accused (to my knowledge) of paying hush money, and was eventually exonerated as to having committed any crime. He was just guilty of some crrepy email messages to male pages.

 

Here you have a Democratic Congressman in the same area who paid hush money, and may have "taken advantage of" an adult female aide. 

Will the media talk about whether this damages the entrie Democratic Party.  Will they talk about the way Nancy Pelosi has run the House?  Will that jump all over this as a major scandal--considering that the actual alleged conduct appears to be worse than that of Foley--although Foley did have the problem of being too friendly to teenaged pages?

 

It is a fact that Democrats, and the mainstream media, do believe in "guilt by associaton", even when it is outrageously ridiculous (as in tarring the entire Republican Party with Mark Foley), but purport to be "shocked" when the associations of Democrats like Barack "World" Obama are concerned (more relevant and direct associations than Foley, or even Mahoney as to House Democrats in general--the more direct analogy to Foley).

Nope.  Leftist Democrats, CNN, MSNBC, and the rest of the mainstream media are sanctimonious hypocrites of the industrial grade, intellectually dishonest kind.  I have repeatedly proven that in this blog, and will surely prove it again.
