foley, and why the right-wing noise machine is pushing its democratic-plot theory

So, why IS the Republican right-wing noise machine (not to mention Denny Has-been I mean Haster himself) pushing the conspiracy theory that the Democrats knew about Foley and his pages 10 months ago but waited until now to reveal it?

The surface answer is, to muddy the waters and give its minions something to hold on to, no matter how flimsy.

The real, core answer is, because that is EXACTLY WHAT THEY WOULD HAVE DONE if the Congressman in question had been a Democrat, and a Democratic Congressional leadership had failed to act.
