We all know who Mark Foley is, right? The Republican who until recently was a Representative in our nation’s House of Representatives? Accused of sending sexually inappropriate messages to UNDERAGE male pages? The Republican who has come out of the closet as gay?

Apparently, Fair and Balanced Fox News is calling him a Democrat. There’s a screen shot behind the link. Is this desperation? I mean, of all of the lies before, people aren’t actually going to believe that this guy is a Democrat, right?

I’m not so sure. I’ve heard some people call Al Gore an idiot. Literally, that a Vice President of the United States (and we’re not talking about Quayle) was of lower intelligence. I didn’t press the matter, but this came shortly after An Inconvenient Truth had its local run in the theaters, and during a neo-conservative backlash.

Gore had the balls to admit that an act that the President signed (of the same party, by the way) was unconstitutional. Does anyone remember the Telecommunications Act of 1996? The precursor to the DMCA, the explosion of power of the RIAA and MPAA, and the spread of DRM. I wasn’t the only one wearing a blue ribbon, was I? This man was misquoted for saying that he created the internet, when he simply said that he had a part in it. This man, who is NOT running for political office, is attempting to help the environment, anyway. (Shut up, Gerry. It doesn’t matter if it’s possible. It matters that people try.)

Now, one of their own guys is exposed, and they turn on him like a pack of hyenas. They call him the worst thing in the world. They call him a Democrat.

And they expect you to believe this bullshit. The sad part is, you probably already do.
