Remember three years ago when the unhappy Barney Frank, then a Member of Congress said “his GOP colleagues need[ed] to do more to ‘differentiate themselves’ from the hateful speech spewed in the healthcare debate’s final hours.”
Looks like Barney needs now to differentiate himself from himself. And, by his own standards, House Democrats should be doing the same. The mean-spirited Massachusetts Democrat is now comparing Al-Qaeda to the Tea Party:
Former Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., responding to al-Qaeda’s criticism of his sexual orientation in the latest issue of their magazine, compared the terrorist organization to the Tea Party and cracked that the two groups are “aligned” with each other against gay marriage.
“I wonder how the right wing in America feels about being aligned with al-Qaeda?” Frank said to Buzzfeed, adding that “there is an irony that the most active anti-gay [groups] are al-Qaeda and the American right-wing.”
The Democrat contended that Al Qaeda “sounded like what the Tea party said when I got married”. Do wonder if Mr. Frank can source his slur — and if the Democrat is aware that the Tea Party as a whole is uninterested in gay marriage.
But, when slurring the Tea Party, Democrats don’t really see the need to check their facts.
Don’t be expecting Mr. Frank to apologize or even to acknowledge his error.
Dan – Good call, but who the Hell cares what Barney says? Isn’t he done, or is he running for Senate?
Andy, it’s always fun to make fun of Barney; if the media held him to the same standard, they held Republicans, he would be more of a laughingstock that such GOP clowns as Todd Akin.
And this post was, well, just easy to write. . . and fun too. The unhappy Democrat’s hypocrisy knows no bounds. Demand Republicans apologize for the nasty comments of a handful of activists while he himself regularly engages in some very uncivil discourse.
Barney Frank is a gay, low-rent Jimmy the Greek knockoff.
He’s as vile & one of the nastiest there is on the left. He’s also one of the most empty headed idiots on the left & that’s saying a lot!
He knows darn well it’s the the liberal progressives like him that love to pal around with terrorists & Islamists, not the right!
It’s that he just can’t help himself..So much nastiness oozing out he’s just gotta let it go sometimes… 😉
It’s a lib thing to accuse the other side of the what you yourself are guilty of. Progressive Projection & Progressive Revisionism are a normal part of life for them.
I’ll say this…Pooow Bawney’s got a pwetty pawtetic wife.
It seems to be a pattern with Liberals and Democrats: find a group, idea, or person to blame for their incompetence.
In an opinion column published by The Washington Times, tea party activist Doug Mainwaring called the wedding “a mockery, a parody, a staggering caricature of the most fundamental and towering of American Institutions
[rusty, does one Tea Party activist define a movement? By that standard, any Democrat who writes a letter to the editor defines Barney’s party. –Dan]
http://www.metroweekly.com/poliglot/2012/07/tea-party-leader-declares-frank-ready-wedding-a-mo.html
Hmm, I wonder How Bawney feels about how his own talking points line up with Al Queda?
But if Bawney ‘differentiated’ himself every time this happened, he’d go blind.
Bawney….you twerp you. The Tea Party wants to uphold the definition of marriage as a union between a man and a woman. Al-Qaeda wants you dead. You always did think you were s-o-o-o-o-o clever, didn’t you?
Let me get this str8. Unhappy Barney Frank achieved marital bliss in a state sanctioned marriage between two men. Now he is continuing to be vinegar fueled because of “al-Qaeda’s criticism of his sexual orientation in the latest issue of their magazine.”
“There is an irony that the most active anti-gay [groups] are al-Qaeda and the American right-wing.” So, which is it, Barney? Gay Marriage for equality in Civil Rights or a never ending jihad against those who don’t “applaud” your gay self?
Frankly, Barney the Frank has clearly demonstrated that he has so ingested the minority victim culture that happiness is counterintuitive to him. Bless his little gay-married equality charade as a great equalizer. He is looking for respect in all the wrong places.
What are the chances that I, as an opponent of state socialism, could ever “earn” the respect of Barney Frank? Zero. But, since I oppose gay marriage, that would be enough to set him off before he ever got around to my political belief system.
What a pathetic little man. He is so politically gay that he can not comfortably live with himself. Just how many gays want him and his ever-flapping mouth as their poster boy?
I wonder if Barney has the stones to speak out against radical Islam for its many jihad “faults” that parallel their jihad on gays. Does he harbor some belief that the Twin Towers and the Pentagon were targeted to take out gays?
Time to post the Barney in drag picture again. His PMS is driving him batty.

The surprising connection between Tea Party and gay marriage
Many people assume that since the Tea Party of 2009-2010 was so vocal on the right that it was (yes, was) more conservative on every issue than the previous party establishment. On some issues, largely fiscal, this is true. Tea Party candidates mostly wanted to reform and cut more than their established opponents, who were more comfortable with the status quo. However, this did not necessarily translate to social issues (that don’t include abortion). There is ample evidence for this, even in the Senate’s current ongoing mass “evolution” on same-sex marriage.
There were 13 new Republican Senators elected in 2010, some who had beaten more establishment Republicans in their primary then won the general, some who just took over for another retiring Republican, and some who beat Democrat incumbents to flip the seat to the GOP. Two of them, Portman and Kirk, have since announced their support for same-sex marriage. At least two others (Rubio and Paul) have said the issue should be left to the states (the same position as President Obama). Rubio goes further and opposes the idea of a Federal Marriage Amendment, which is part of the official platform of the GOP. And I have a feeling that if repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), the 1996 federal definition of marriage, ever came up for a vote in the Senate, even more would break ranks and support it (most likely, Ayotte, Lee, Toomey, Johnson). Only one other GOP Senator, a pre-2010 incumbent, has made news on the topic, Lisa Murkowksi, who said she’s “evolving”.
It’s thus noteworthy that the only Republican Senators to fully support same-sex marriage, along with the two most prominent GOP voices for allowing states to decide, were all elected in the Tea Party wave of 2010. Contrast that with the number of established Republican Senators in office before 2010 who support marriage equality, overturning DOMA, or letting the states decide: 0.
Yet more evidence that the Tea Party movement was (yes, WAS) actually more libertarian than arch-conservative.
http://cynicusprime.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-surprising-connection-between-tea.html
Yup. You bet it is. That’s because rewarding rotten behavior encourages more rotten behavior. And only idiots and academics need commissioned panels and scientific studies to recognize that fact.
Has there been a time since the founding of this republic where there have existed as many perverse incentives as there have been, say, in the last 40-50 years?
He is a bitter, angry, pathetic little man. Is that what a lifetime of liberalism turns you into? Pass.
Barney, just go away.
Two snaps to Rusty. He demonstrated how a Tea Party member personally attacked Frank’s marriage to relay how the former senator may have snapped to the point of saying something irrational. And, then, he provides a passage that shows that, though Frank may have acted out from a place of woundness, the substance of his attack was incorrect.
*Not only snapped, but allowed it to fester inside him for a long while.
I do believe that’s exactly what Bernadine Dohrn said of her boyfriend, Bill, a few decades back.
Ends justify the means, you ignorant, racist, self-loathing queers.
Of course, what Smegma is completely and totally unaware of is that according to the left-leaning Southern Poverty Law Center, it was a libtard domestic terrorist who threatened conservatives.
Their crime? They opposed same-sex marriage:
http://washingtonexaminer.com/fbi-video-domestic-terrorist-says-he-targeted-conservative-group-for-being-anti-gay/article/2528072
In Smegma’s distorted little world, it is worse to verbally condemn a prissy, mincing House Rep with a speech impediment than it is to physically harm Americans exercising their First Amendment rights.
Then again, I’m pretty sure he also thought the 8-year-old killed in Boston was just “collateral damage” in the culture wars.
And yes, I went there. Deal with it.
Regards,
Peter H.
And thank you for going there, Mr. Hughes. Bad enough Captain Kickass and the Wookie politicized every single Newtown family in pursuit of a failed legislative overreach, now we have the soon-to-be-owned-by-the-Fabulously-Evil-Koch-Bros’s LA Times already attempting to whitewash Sheriff Joe’s all-to-accurate categorization of the Boston Coward Bomber’s actions as a result of our collective idiocy.
The FRC shooter is deranged and disturbed and what he did was illegal and wrong. I hope he’s punished within the full extent of the law and gets the help he needs, that is, if he can still be helped.
And, my heart goes out to Martin Richard, Krystle Campbell, and Lü Lingzi, their families, and friends. What the Boston bombers did was unconscionable and revolting. My wish is for them to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. I hope there is something to learn from this terror attack that may help us figure out how to change the course of our society, as well as prevent incidents like this in the future.
Regards,
Vince S.
So….
Essentially, the girl was asking for it, mmmIright???
Exactly, My Sharia Moor.
Just like how Vince Smetana screams that the FRC shooter would never have acted if the FRC didn’t oppose gay marriage, now we’ll be treated to how we Americans — but only conservatives, of course — drove these poor naive Chechen waifs to leave shrapnel-loaded backpacks next to eight-year-olds.
There is nothing that liberals can’t or won’t blame on conservatives. That is the belief system that bigots like Rusty and Vince Smetana are steeped in, and that’s really all that they ever post here.
According to Smegma’s worldview, she was.
I think I’ll have Chik-Fil-A for lunch today! 🙂
Regards,
Peter H.
I’m ahead of you, Peter Hughes; I already had it for breakfast. 🙂
Put another way, as the Liberals always ask, “What did we do to make them hate us?” (Therefore, how can we change so that they’ll like us?)
The strength and the weakness of the TEA Party was and is that it was and is largely unorganized. The Left has no one individual to attack directly and so has had to attack the entire group. No evidence necessary, consider yourself demonized, TEA Party.
It also appears that there is no TEA Party spokesman to deny that social issues are any part of the movement. Therein lies a weakness of the movement.
ND30: Between Chick-Fil-A for breakfast this morning and your trips to In N Out, what in your cholesterol level?
Peter H: I have a special glass of Chick-Fil-A Lemonade for you to wash that chicken sandwich down with. It has Vodka in it, so I’m sure you’ll like it.
And I’m sure you “made” that lemonade yourself. No thanks, dear. I already watched “The Help” so I’m avoiding any lemonade or chocolate you intend to offer me.
Speaking of which:
Lady Astor: “Winston, if I were your wife, I’d put poison in your tea!”
Churchill: “My good lady, if you were my wife, I’d drink it!”
And personally speaking, my own health and fitness is none of your g-damn business. But I’ll let ND30 answer for himself if he chooses.
Regards,
Peter H.
Leave it to Vince to make all us gay guys look like straight-up bitches.
Team-killer if ever there was one.
Exactly, ND30.
It is so ironic that the libtards who preach “tolerance” and “understanding” are some of the most intolerant, egotistical, self-centered, uppity, most hateful people out there.
And then they try to make it seem like WE are all those things.
Hypocrisy, thy name is liberalism.

Peter H.
Well, for Smegmasnatch, it’s called “projection.”
I’m sure she’s the type that hangs out at the bars and clubs and rips everyone under her breath, then wonders why nobody’s talking to her.
Bless her heart! 😉
Regards,
Peter H.
This is the best thing you’ve written on here. Glad to see you have a sense of humor.
Did I even inquire?
Are you coming out, Eric Olsen?
Believe me, you’re doing most of the work yourself.
Peter Hughes, What is your obsession with alcohol? I don’t go to the bars/clubs all that often, other than to dance. There are better, healthier alternatives to meeting other guys.
The very bestest thing about projection is watching the poor thing finally begin to realize it’s been talking into a mirror this whole time…
Breathtaking…:)
Kinda why I ignore them, most of the time, unless I get me a hankerin’ to smack down a stupid troll.
Don’t you judge me!!!
🙂
Tea party same as al Qaeda? Let’s compare body counts. Tea party is zero. AQ is some largish number a long way from zero.
Try again, Bawny.
I think to most appropriate response to screeds like this is “Barney who?”
Smegmasnatch, what is your obsession with other people’s health and lifestyle? Are you obsessed with Nanny McPhee? Or are you Mayor Bloomberg in drag?
And I’m sure that after five minutes of listening to you ramble and bloviate, they drop you like a bad habit and you go home alone – again.
Bless her heart, I’m sure she’s tried all of them. With no success.
Regards,
Peter H.
Well, of course.
Personal information given is nothing more than a weapon to you, isn’t it?
It’s no surprise that you want to meet me in person, Vince Smetana. You think you have a golden opportunity to dig up more nuggets about me personally that you can then weaponize.
So here’s something to the world: Vince Smetana is a malicious liar and abuser who, if you share anything with him, will use it to attack and blackmail you unless you do exactly what he says.
I think anyone who wants to date or interact with Vince Smetana should know that. Vince Smetana will pretend to like you and pretend to care about you, and then when you share personal information with him, will use it to blackmail and berate you into doing what he wants.
Who on earth would even WANT to meet with Smegmasnatch? He’s probably the reason why NARAL exists.
And yes, I went there. Deal with it.
Regards,
Peter H.
I thought that this thread was about Barney Frank. It looks like it has gotten off thread. Y’all have fun going at each other.
Still find it funny that *a* ‘Tea Party’ person gets held up as a sign that ‘Bawney was right’ yet it’s glossed over that his own ‘side’ has more in common with AQ, including the body count.
Ya know when I feel bad about being gay? When I realize I’m supposed to belong to the same “community” as Barney.
rusty – Nice link, thanks for posting it.
I’ve heard the reports, of course, of the Tea Party being joined (I want to avoid the emotional word, ‘infiltrated’) by various extremists. OTOH, I’ve heard similar reports about the Tea Party being joined by establishment, ‘moderate’ Republican operatives. Those reports somehow get less coverage. But anyway, I’d like to believe, and I still believe, that its basic spirit was small-government and fiscal-conservative, with people varying (and being well allowed to vary) on other issues.
There is a large segment of the Tea Party that is focused on social issues–and can be very extremist and even hateful.
The Tea Party-ists of the William Temple and Glenn Beck stripe follow a bigoted ideology. Temple is the guy who shows up at all the Tea Party rallies wearing a tri-corner hate. Beck of course hosted the 9/12 rally, which drew a very Tea Party crowd.
At their rallies they will always talk about how we need to base government on Christianity–and the anti-abortion and anti-gay marriage and anti-“homosexuization of the boy scouts” policies of Conservative Christian Politics. Temple said that we should discriminate against everyone who follows a different religious belief than Christianity. He said we shouldn’t elect Jews, Mormons, Muslims, atheists, Buddhists, or any other non-Christians to high office. Similarly, Herman Cain, another Tea Party favorite, said we shouldn’t appoint any Muslims to serve in executive offices.
Those are the bigoted positions of certain Tea Party stripes.
Bullshit, son!
They advocate for a MUCH smaller, FAR less intrusive government that doesn’t forcibly steal the property of adults like me (who work damned hard to EARN it), only to hand it over to snivelling, unproductive, self-absorbed and immature little crapweasels like you, who think that you’re God’s gift to the world, thus ‘entitling’ you to having your every wish and whim fulfilled ‘five minutes ago’.
Try growing up; you’re way behind schedule.
Please provide evidence to back up your statement; otherwise, I call BS on it.

Peter H.
Peter:
Bitch…ooops!, Mitch will say that any one is “extremist and can even be hateful” if they don’t tell him that he’s the bestest person that’s ever existed on the planet and that he can have whatever he wants, whenever he wants and however he wants it.
In short, Mitch is a pissy little 2 year old who always expects to get his way.
And we’ll get tantrum-throwing and name-calling from him if he doesn’t.
He’s also a fantastically easy ‘read’ (like all leftists); he’s as challenging as a 1st grade primer.
And just as coherent and as intelligent as one, too, for that matter.
Mitch merely observes what rusty, Iggy and Smegmasnatch write and then just regurgitates it back to make himself look smart.
Of course, two wrongs don’t make it right, either.
Regards,
Peter H.
Mitch:
Peter H:
Rusty H:
Regards, Vince S:
Now, please follow carefully the chronology of what transpired. I know it’s hard for some of you, but please try.
Of course, if Bawney were REALLY as smart and as brave as everyone made him out to be on the GayLeftLib side, he’d go gaily over to the Middle East and tell Al-Qaeda exactly how wrong they are.
The problem is – they’d drop a wall on him in a heartbeat.
Conservatives here won’t do that.
Checkmate.

Peter H.
Peter H. wrote “Mitch merely observes what rusty, Iggy and Smegmasnatch write and then just regurgitates it back … ” and then when he was proven wrong, he ignored it and failed to take responsibility for making a false claim.
And yes, I went there. Deal with it.

Vince S.
And now, the colossal douche is stealing Peter’s signature in a laughably sophomoric attempt to mock him into submission.
I wonder if this Smegma fellow realizes he isn’t nearly as witty as he thinks he is. Lord knows, he certainly isn’t original.
Peter has already tried to make that point.
Point meet kettle.
Oh yeah, I went there.

Please point out how I was proven wrong, if you can.
As soon as you make a statement that includes truth or substance, I will be happy to address it. I suspect you are unable fulfill my requirements.
SNAP! You are dismissed.

I am so emphatic that I said it twice! 🙂

Um, Peter, let’s try this AGAIN … YOU said Mitch, who believes the Tea Party is anti-gay, was regurgitating what Rusty and I say.
Earlier in the thread, Rusty pointed out that there is a lot of misinformation about the Tea Party, one of the elements being their stand on gay marriage as being anti-equality, when it fact it wasn’t (“Yet more evidence that the Tea Party movement was … more libertarian than arch-conservative.”). Rusty never said nor believes the Tea Party to be anti-gay.
I agreed with Rusty (“he provides a passage that shows that … the substance of [Frank’s] attack was incorrect.”). I never said the Tea Party was anti-gay.
THAT’S how you were proven wrong. Capice? Please don’t respond if you’ve already had your morning martini. I’m not interested in your drunken responses.
Oh yeah, I went there. Deal with it. Pot meets kettle.
Regards,
Vince S.
Which is true – see below:
http://www.gaypatriot.net/?comments_popup=59714#comment-754910
Nowhere did I say that it was occurring on the SAME THREAD. (Obviously, reading skills are beyond your comprehension.)
The fact remains that in many cases, you all tend to use GayLeftLib borg “groupthink” to engage in Alinsky-style tactics to dehumanize conservatives and make false accusations towards us.
Personally, I think that our trolls are unduly influenced by other borgs (Kossacks, HuffnPos etc.) and try to spread this virulence to our board. Such behavior is boorish, uncivilized and totally uncalled-for.

Peter H.
PS – A true gentleman doesn’t drink until after 12 pm. But of course, an ill-mannered buffoon such as yourself wouldn’t know that.
Regards,
Peter H.
Feel free to provide links where Rusty or I accuse the Tea Party of being anti-gay and give Mitch his talking points. Hint: the GP archives actually show that I’ve attested that two people I know personally who were/are party of the Tea Party are clearly NOT homophobic or anti-equality.
Are you claiming to be one?
Oh yes, I went there, Imelda. Deal with it. Pot, kettle.

As is typical for libtards – see the thread above.
PS to She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named: find yourself a new schtick. The old one’s taken.

Barney Frank should apologize and acknowledge his error, as I HAVE ALREADY STATED “the substance of his attack was incorrect.” As in, I ACKNOWLEDGED HIS ERROR.

Being a libtard (D) means never actually having to say “I’m sorry.”
