Rep. Barney Frank blasts Insane McCain
Barney Blasts McCain


Hilarious homo-politico Barney Frank put funny business aside recently to blast Republican John McCain’s gay record.

And, to make sure McCain gets the message, Frank put in some necessary fear mongering:

In every other area, McCain has a consistent voting record against our efforts. In 1996, the only time the Senate voted on the Employment Nondiscrimination Act, McCain was one of those who voted no. He has also consistently voted against extending hate crimes protection to gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender individuals.

Given the alignment of Supreme Court Justices, and their ages, it is virtually certain that if John McCain is president, he will appoint justices who will overturn the Lawrence decision and the leading Supreme Court opponent of fair treatment for gay and lesbian people, Antonin Scalia, will gain allies from McCain’s appointments.

That’s what we’re talking about!

1. Barney Frank, quit talking sense!
I found this link more helpful,

http://www.democrats.org/a/2008/05/pride_at_the_po_1.php

Choice quote:

This apparently reflects the prejudiced view that he expressed in 1993 when he was helping block President Clinton's effort when he said on February 4th, as recorded in the Congressional Record, "The issue of allowing open gay lifestyles in the military is completely different from the kind of changes taking place in civil life ... Homosexuality is a behavioral trait, unlike skin color."

Where to even begin with that!

Fuck that man.

3. It's not "fear mongering"
Fear mongering is when you try to scare people unnecessarily. So, "necessary fear mongering" is an oxymoron.

People should be very afraid of John McCain -- that's not unnecessary and it's not fear mongering. It's just a fact.

He is opposed to everything reasonable people favor.

4. McCain is spouting false propaganda
Remember that dog and pony show for the supposed Iranian weapons that was canceled the other day?

McCrazy is still trying to hype it up long after it was canceled for lack of evidence.
