That was just one of many hurled against that good man. He was called a Nazi and compared to Hitler and it was to those epithets I was referring. Using such terms is pretty hateful in my book.

And yes, let’s distinguish between being overly passionate and the use of racial and sexual slanders. We can only find corroboration for one such slur, calling Mr. Frank a faggot. Guess that’s on a par of him accusing Republicans of a psychological disorder.

Do you know of what you speak? The tea party lingo that has alienated much of America? Huh? The tea party lingo as filtered through the MSM and left-wing blogs. Please.

But, as least your comment does help make my point. You know there’s no evidence of Barney standing up to the hateful rhetoric of the anti-Bush protesters during the Bush era.

You are indeed bending over backwards to excuse left-wing hate.

The rest of you good people here better wake up to one fact: these SOBs won’t leave the rest of us alone until a) they get everything they want, which is total control over everyone’s lives, or b) they’re pushed back with a force that they can’t get around with their standard projection, chicanery, and lying.
These rat bastards can NEVER have a ‘good, clean fight’ out in the open with rules that are fair and that both sides adhere to. ‘Fight’ in this context to connote everything from a simple debate to……well, you get the idea.
Getting into endless keyboard wars with them isn’t going to cut it.
Example: Scott Brown won a seat in the US Senate, becoming the 41st vote against this garbage, and look at the contortions (some of them unconstitutional) that they went through to have their way.
@26-
You’re partly correct. I hate assholes like you that seek to have a cradle-to-grave command and control for everyone’s lives but those of your’s and your sleazy cronies.

“Calling Bush a war criminal, while not necessarily polite, was an expression a a frustration that has at least some grounding in reality, or at least they could be debated. Calling someone a fag or nigger is in a different sphere.”

I didn’t call anyone a ‘fag’ or a ‘nigger’. Aside from the fact that the charges are baseless, and that no one has come forward with any affirmative evidence to support them, including you, I’ll say that while I don’t condone it, I support fully the right of others to say it (heard of the 1st amendment?). And never mind the endless leftist drumbeat that there is an inherent right of an individual to not be offended. It doesn’t exist.
Always with your side it’s ‘unfortunate, but understandable’, and all other speech YOU don’t like is ‘violent and hateful’, etc, etc.
And what does that inbred reasoning make you?
A f***ing hypocrite.
As to your view of my initial comment in this thread: you and your ilk don’t like being called out. It’s as simple as that.

There we have it. A violent, eliminationsit right-wing mentality, the kind of tea party lingo that has alienated so much of America. The analogy presented by the original poster above is false and specious. Calling Bush a war criminal, while not necessarily polite, was an expression a a frustration that has at least some grounding in reality, or at least they could be debated. Calling someone a fag or nigger is in a different sphere. It is pure inexcusable bigotry and hate speech. You can’t have a constructive dialogue about their accusations, nor are you meant to. Just as with the commenter I quoted. Hate is hate is hate. Let’s distinguish between overly passionate but valid protests and the use of racial and sexual slander.

And given his partisanship and his eagerness to slam Republicans, we need actual evidence (not his word) of the name-calling he alleges. He is, quite simply, not a credible source.

Let’s talk about being black, which you can not do.

An intelligent black man chooses whether to bear the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune and soldier on, or to pick a battle over an outrageous sling and get mired in name-calling, charges and innuendo. A black man can not soldier on if he has played the race card. He has said: “I am not above personal pride and I take the insult as battle worthy.”

An intelligent black man carries himself with dignity and honor. If he has been racially slurred, a great injustice is demonstrated and all manner of protest arises.

However, if the black man is in the race game, he is, in fact, a professional race baiter and he had best be prepared to have his black skin become part of the game. That is not to say that racial slurs against him are justified in any way, but it is clear that he is a racist himself, so calling the race card is little more that quid pro quo.

I will be totally shocked if video proving this stuff pops up. There were cameras everywhere and the MSM is good as getting the snarky stuff on the tube ASAP. Levi, as the time goes by and no evidence appears, you are left holding the bag in the great race card snipe hunt.

You may not realize it, but being heralded as a “qualified black man” is tacit evidence that someone is amazed to find a black man who can walk upright.

Personally, I do not want any accolades, back patting, promotion, etc. from liberals who are s-o-o-o-o-o proud of me. You affirmative action people are the real bottom dwelling racists. You have to pretend that Alcee Hastings is not a low-life ghetto crook. Pity you.

Not being gay, I will let someone else chat about how Barney Frank conducts himself. But as a homophobe, I think he is a living comic book characterization of one of the gay stereotypes. I would not call him a gay slur, because he slurs himself so very adequately. He is as charming as genital warts.

Yours,

Heliotrope. I carry my own water. Now carry yours.

Guess ol’ Barney really does hold Republicans to a higher standard than the one he maintains for himself.

Well, what are you talking about? What is the ‘hateful rhetoric’ that was spewed against George Bush that is tantamount to a black man being called a nigger? I’m going to go out on a limb here and say there probably isn’t anything. The things that were said about George Bush were things like ‘he’s a war criminal’ – these are accusations made on the basis of his policies, not the color of his skin.

You always set up these little posts but you’re never specific enough, and the whole set up is a ruse anyway. You can say you hate these Congressmen for passing healthcare, you can say you hope the streets run red with their blood for all I care, because that’s about policy and their actions as legislators. Calling them niggers just isn’t on the same level, and anything that was ever tossed George Bush’s way isn’t on the same level, either.

Oh god, lolololololol. Can’t wait, tough guy!

Yeah, that’s right buddy. ‘Homophobe’ is on the same level as ‘nigger.’

Not even close..

Guess ol’ Barney really does hold Republicans to a higher standard than the one he maintains for himself.

The only stupid one is you, leveling accusations that you have ZERO evidence to back up.

Notice also that half the Democrats are filming the event yet none of them can release the video that would back up their accusations.

How hate-filled must a person be to actually DEFEND baseless accusations.

You are a piece of work william. Get thee to a psychoanalyst!

As an openly heterosexual male of 50 who has never (just ask my wife) been accused of being “normal”, I’m not sure what that statement actually means. In any case, until I see some video or hear some audio that confirms this story, I will with hold judgment on the matter. If it turns out to be true, the evolutionary throw backs who did it deserve all the scorn they get. If it didn’t happen, those making accusations should STFU.

Hello?

Levi? William? Anything to say here?
