“…to be an Uncle Tom.”
Barney Frank retracts his condemnation of the Carebear’s DOMA brief:
Now that I have read the brief, I believe that the administration made a conscientious and largely successful effort to avoid inappropriate rhetoric. There are some cases where I wish they had been more explicit in disavowing their view that certain arguments were correct, and to make it clear that they were talking not about their own views of these issues, but rather what was appropriate in a constitutional case with a rational basis standard – which is the one that now prevails in the federal courts, although I think it should be upgraded

Seeing old Traitor Joe in the background always makes me uneasy and a little queasy.
Scissorheads -
I admit this post pushes my PC limits, but honestly I could not believe that Barney Frank — of all people — would sell out. The power of money never ceases to amaze me.
My regrets, if anyone was offended by the cold water on the face, but WAKE UP! Actually, I retract the regrets. Just freakin’ wake up.

The preferred term I’ve been hearing is “House Faggot.” If the shoe fits…etc.
Something smells. Barney never caves. What do you suppose could be important enough for him to carry his ass in his hands?
Maybe some committee he sits or chairs will come up with something newsworthy?
[...] Barney Frank is an Uncle Tom. Oh no he didn’t! [...]
I am ready to move far away from this country.
Barney Frank always did sell out the queer community to heterosexist Democrats like Bill Clinton and Nancy Pelosi. Do you really expect him to do anything different with Obama?
I had always thought Barney was one of the good ones. gawd, I hate to be proved wrong.
I’m offended by people who are offended. And politicians not named Dennis Kucinich.
more milquetoast than MILK.
meh.
doan want.
kthxbai.
barney makes the baby jeebus weep.
Yeah, I hate to see Joe Lieberman in any room. Unless it’s the outhouse.
I hear you, Lee. And I agree a million percent, Randall. You’ve said it, liberaldemdave.
