Please, the dailyKos community should be cautious with this one. First, Kolbe is the only
openly gay Republican congressman. Second, the
supposed victim when asked for his comment had this to say about the allegations:
However, the former page — who is the one to whom Kolbe allegedly paid special attention — said he had a "blast" on the trip and did not report anything improper to this parents or any House officials after the trip. He said he has a favorable impression of the page program to this day and likes Kolbe.

I'm of the opinion that MSNBC should never have released this article to begin with. When the supposed victim (presumably) tells the reporter that there is nothing to the allegations and describes the trip as a 'blast', there really is no reason to publish. Especially in this climate. Kolbe's reputation is already damaged irregardless the actual circumstances.
Please, don't support this witch hunt!
