I heard them read on Fox news last night, but I can not find them online.
They are not sexually explicit, so that may be why none of the thousands of liberal blogs out there aren't posting them.

enteraddo, those are instant messages.
I am looking for the emails that the other republicans had seen. The ones the democrats are trying to say the coverup was about.
They had absolutely no sexual content.
I think foley should burn in hell. But I think the liberal democrats should be right behind him there for the crap they are pulling.

nebtet, you probably got a thumbs down for posting the Instant messages when i asked about the emails.
Everyone knows his instant messages were sick. The emails that people are saying were a red flag, the media has not posted.

They are not the real issue. The issue is all the IM's that were sent, they are said to be very explicit.
You are right about the sites...they only post information to shock and outrage and inspire hate by the readers. They have no interest in educating those who view the sites.

I think that the e-mails combined with the complaint and the fact that very repub. congressman thought Foley to be gay, should have sparked an independant investigation.

-excerpt
Earlier Friday, a former congressional page questioned e-mails Foley had sent to him, describing it as "sick." Foley, a Florida representative, apparently sent the e-mails in August 2005, when the male page was 16 years old.
In the e-mails, which were obtained by the Washington-based Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, Foley discussed a second page, saying "I just emailed [him]... hes such a nice guy... acts much older than his age... hes in great shape... i am just finished riding my bike on a 25 mile journey now heading to the gym... whats school like for you this year?"
Foley then asked the page for a picture.
The young man, who forwarded the e-mails to another congressional staffer, called the e-mails "sick, sick, sick."
"Maybe it is just me being paranoid, but seriously. This freaks me out," the page wrote in the e-mails obtained by CREW.
I like to see agood Republican protecting one of their own!
Perhaps you wanted to hear the lurid details. Better get Ken Starr involved!

September 29, 2006 — The following is an instant message exchange a former page says he had with Rep. Foley in 2003. Warning: sexually explicit language, reader discretion is advised.

how funny i would get a thumbs down for simply posting what is on the ABC News site. are neoCON republican pedophile enablers desparately defensive or what? and whats this wiggling room republicans are trying to make with whether Foley was stalking kids thru emails or IMs. talk about pathetic!
"Family Values" ... yeah right.

If a 50 year old asked a 16 year old boy what he was wearing, and then said i'd like to strip them off you, is that not morally wrong? Maybe not for you.
Here check out this link from ABC News where they got excerpts from the Instant Messages.

the emails are a little wierd... but the IMs is where is gets really weird...
"ABC News reported Friday that Foley also engaged in a series of sexually explicit instant messages with current and former teenage male pages. In one message, ABC said, Foley wrote to one page: "Do I make you a little horny?"
In another message, Foley wrote, "You in your boxers, too? ... Well, strip down and get naked."....

yes, they are not sexually explicit. they don't have to be; they are still creepy. the content has more to do with the lawful aspect than political. politically, all they need to know is that it was inappropriate. fyi, i read them online. let's assume you are an underage page, how would you feel about receiving these emails from foley?
just read the links above. disgusting that there are people willing to defend this man regardless of politics. anyone with a conscience would never.

I ignore all the emails from Foley I get. I wish he, Geroge Bush, Dennis Hastert and Rick Santoruim would STOP emailing me!
PS:
Try reading HuffPo.
Instead of the 'liberal' blogs Fox News tells you to read.

The e-mails were never made available. The parents refused to release them to anybody, including the congressman they were complaining to. The instant messages on the other hand were to a different Paige, and they have been released.

The e-mails are not. It's the IM"s that are sexually explicit. I was just as appalled by what the sixteen year old was talking about. I will be pulling all DSL from the house when my son turns 13. ;)
