Another one bites the DOOCE...

A former employee for the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) has been dooced. The person admitted to blogging about Foley’s inappropriate emails to a former page on their website. Although the scandal was already leaked to the media, the blog was the first publication to be put in a public forum.

HRC’s Vice President David Smith will not reveal the identity of the individual (we’ll just refer him as Mr. Dooce), but he did say that Mr. Dooce used the group’s campaign resources inappropriately, and thus was fired for it.

HRC, the well known gay rights group, is a strong supporter for Democratic candidates. Critics argue that Mr. Dooce may have blogged the Foley emails in attempts to drive support for the Democratic Party nearing election time.

However, HRC maintains that they did not know of the blog prior to the publication. “The Human Rights Campaign,” says Smith “believes in being very aboveboard in our political activity.”

What is being overlooked here is the Foley scandal itself. The issue of a man, being of superior position, making advances toward subordinate young pages is taking a back burner to politics. Once again, this drama queen (politics) steals the thunder, and Mr. Dooce is the one paying for it.

My sympathies goes out to Mr. Dooce. You have done a good thing by exposing Foley for what he really is.
