Before a battle starts lets see what most here think would happen if Scalia called Bahney Fwank a homo. Would political correctness allow that to happen?
Oh, my, the libs would have him removed from the bench and sent for "re-programming." See, Frank can have sex services operating out of his apartment but the NY guv sees a regular prostitute and they serve up his head on a platter. Straight philandering -- REPULSIVE. Gay promiscuity -- GOOD and NOBLE!
Blago tries to sell a Senate seat and Barney gets paid for his Fannie Mae votes. If Blago was gay, they would have made excuses for him.
Nah. Actually, I thought it was a rather boring news story, but I knew that the rabid anti-gay right-wingers here would go crazy and keep the thread alive. Thanks for your help!
You're most welcome. Always happy to rant about how morally bankrupt the libs are.
And Barney got even more than money from, ahem, Fannie:
Media Mum on Barney Frank's Fannie Mae Love Connection (http://www.businessandmedia.org/articles/2008/20080924145932.aspx - broken link)
Quote:
Prominent Democrats ran Fannie Mae, the same government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) that donated campaign cash to top Democrats. And one of Fannie Mae’s main defenders in the House – Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., a recipient of more than $40,000 in campaign donations from Fannie since 1989 – was once romantically involved with a Fannie Mae executive.
It's getting easier to tell the Democrats are desperate. Barney Frank, or example, is having a harder and harder itme explaining why he kept insisting, year after year, that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were "just fine, there is no problem here", right up to the year they crashed and brought half the economy down with them.
So now he's trying to divert people's attention to something unrelated. Little surprise, he chose homosexuality as his preferred topic. But he couldn't bash Anonin Scalia about that, since Scalia actually went against some of the more recent Supreme Court majorities in gay cases.
So, here is Frank, making things up about Scalia that aren't true, announcing he has an unreasonable fear of gays, and then bashing him for it anyway.
Typical tactic for a Democrat unable to defend or justify his real agenda.
Rep. Frank calls Scalia a 'homophobe' in interview
Mar 23, 7:04 PM (ET)
WASHINGTON (AP) - Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank called Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia a "homophobe" in a recent interview with the gay news Web site 365gay.com.
The Democratic lawmaker, who is gay, was discussing gay marriage and his expectation that the high court would some day be called upon to decide whether the Constitution allows the federal government to deny recognition to same-sex marriages.
"I wouldn't want it to go to the United States Supreme Court now because that homophobe Antonin Scalia has too many votes on this current court," said Frank. The video of the interview is available online.
Frank's office did not respond to a request Monday to expand on his remark. Scalia also had no comment.
Scalia dissented from the court's ruling in 2003 that struck down state laws banning consensual sodomy. He has complained about judges, rather than elected officials, deciding questions of morality about which the Constitution is silent.
Controversial topics like gay rights and abortion should not be in the hands of judges, he has said, calling on people to persuade their legislatures or amend the Constitution.

Because he puts little ninny whine asse wingnuts in their place.
We know why.
You can't even be honest with yourself in justifying Franks criminal behaviour.
It's just so darn funny you have to resort to macho rhetoric to over compensate for the real reason.

Frank was never convicted of any criminal behaviour as much as you would like to spank him "while frolicking nude in your Irish Cottage"...Mr. Man.
I'm curious -- what is it about him that attracts you so much? His gayness? His payoffs? Or that he let an escort service operate out of his apartment?
I was down and out at the time, and needed work. What can I say?
