Leftists frequently complain that conservatives are (in their opinion) "homophobic". I could parse out what they mean by this loaded term. They use it sloppily (at best) but for the moment let's hold with their usage by which they seem to mean "inclined to prejudice toward and exclusion of homosexuals".
So here's what gets me about the media swarm around the circumstance of the resignation of Congressman Foley (R-Florida): The left seems to be demanding that Speaker Hastert resign because when presented with e-mails 3-ish years ago which seemed to indicate that Foley was gay, he did not immediately demand that Foley resign from the house.
In other words, the left claims to be upset with Speaker Hastert for not acting like a class-A "homophobe".
You know, I am usually glad when people don't do things I think are wrong. The left is just crazy.
