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.

How this guy keeps getting re-elected. Even in Massachusetts you'd think they'd tire of this blow hard.

[CPT Clay]

Not that there is anything wrong with that.

[bareford101]

I think maybe in Mass. if you are a “blow hard” that is a good thing. According to the types they seem to like there.

[sourcery]

this blow hard.

Hey! I can only assume he deeply resembles that remark!

[bareford101]

Does this mean that Justice Scalia can call him a queer? He started it....

[CounterCounterCulture]

“Homophobe” is the new N-word.

[Andyman]

Methinks Barney is a hetrophobe.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I’d really by calling Bawney a “homoprobe”.

[Loud Mime]

We have let the gays have too much in law. Now they believe that heterosexuals are the perverts.

Enough.

[Texas Fossil]

Yes and Dick Army called him “Barney” Fag. Years ago.

[bareford101]

this new politically correct language just goes against the grain of “calling it what it is” IMO. The words are replaced by words that no longer have meaning....

but, your right.....

[FlingWingFlyer]

Really=reply.

Oy. It's getting late.

[bareford101]

amen!!! they will not be happy until the absolute perversion (sin) becomes the norm. that is Roman history, and we best read it, IMO.

[Lancey Howard]

How this guy keeps getting re-elected. Even in Massachusetts you'd think they'd tire of this blow hard.

Nah, not Massachusetts. Bottom of the barrel.

[Maelstorm]

LOL

[the invisib1e hand]

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.

if it ever gets that far I think the nation will have other priorities.

[Batman11]

“Dick Army”

Bawney Fwank: “Where do I enlist?”

[True Republican Patriot]

That is a Badge of Honor coming from the Lowlife who had a Homosexual Prostitution Ring running out of his Wash.,D.C. home with his Gay Lover:-(

[JerseyJohn61]

There is one thing for sure in this argument-Scalia could
call Barney a C**k S**k*r-and he’d be right.

[Antoninus]

We will never get our republic back until corrupt creatures like Barney Frank are ridden out of DC on a rail and their vile mouthpieces in the media are left abandoned and scorned. Until we can muster the courage to do so, we deserve to have leaders exactly like him.

[True Republican Patriot]

ROTFLMAO!

[PhilDragoo]

Jail to the (Banking) Queen.

[Maelstorm]

Homophobe is like most liberal made up terminology. It is meant to obscure and twist things until the right and wrong ends are indistinguishable.

[Feasor13]

Frank can’t hold a candle to Scalia. Frank needs the Edward II treatment. But he might like that too much.

[Army Air Corps]

And Bwarney is a Heterophobe.

[Army Air Corps]

Jail to the (Banking) Queen.

Why reward him?

Soooh, he wouldn't want it to go the court but wishes the court would some day decide?

Isn't that trying to have it both ways? (Ooops)

 

[JerseyJohn61]

Agreed on the terminology bit. Homophobe= one who FEARS homosexuals.

One does not have to fear someone in order to disagree with their lifestyle.

[dancusa]

Barney Frank should be working for the sewer department as a manhole inspector.

[paul51]

congress people calling supreme court justices names. I guess I can stoop to that level temporarily. Barney frank is a POS.

[Morgana]

Bawney is a filthy disease ridden queer......Massachusetts keeps voting for him just to keep him away from the state.

[Post Toasties]

How this guy keeps getting re-elected. Even in Massachusetts you'd think they'd tire of this blow hard.

You would think so, if they had a care for good government in Massachusetts rather than for notoriety and blatant Left Wing idiocy.

[Vendome]

He definitely has a problem with breeders.

Maybe he had a bad case of “small cox” as a child.

[Maelstorm]

Homosexuals are special. We can’t expect them to be judged by the same standards any decent person would be held to whether involves taking your adopted and foster kids to lewd parades with displays of oral sex and other behaviors or simply taking over a public street to have sex, run around naked, indulge urine fetishes and have fun with leather and whips.
We can’t expect them not to indulge their desires for young nubile men or maintain their composure in public toilets. Doesn’t everyone pick up dates in restrooms? I mean that sounds normal to me doesn’t it to you?

[lonestar]

Barney has admitted that the people who vote for him are no smarter than dining tables.

[BARLF]

[bareford101]

peas in a pod ... same agenda.... “we get rich and bankrupt the peasants”...

[ExTexasRedhead]

Two American disgraces. Pray that their disgrace follows them forever.

[budwiesest]

Marriage between a man and a woman is a centuries old religious tradition and takes place in the presence of the AllMighty (sp?).

For a 'government' to alter such would, in effect, create a 'new' religious tradition which is expressly forbidden by the 1st ammendment's 'establishment of religion' clause.

Too bad homo sapiens weren't all that homo else there'd have been arrangements for them too. Behold, the walk-in closet!

[libh8er]

Barney's heavenly home (pun intended)

[boop]

LOL!

[Loud Mime]

Our founding fathers would not be appalled by the politicians, they would be appalled by our allowing these politicians to run this nation into the ground.

[Thommas]

The Democratic lawmaker, who is gay..

There is nothing gay about this pouting, spittle spewing, scowling and disturbed homosexual..

[hosepipe]

Barney is a Normalphobe..

[outhousepatrol]

TO THE TUNE OF SIOUX CITY SIOUX

He left his home in Ioway
For San Francisco town
Traded in his cowboy boots
For a sequined gown

He did his nails
He did his hair
He did himself up right
Hoping that some faggot
Will nail his a** tonight

CHORUS

You faggot you
You faggot you
Ain’t nobody quite as sick
As you faggot you

[cranked]

I assume if it safe to call Scalia a homophobe, it is rightly justified to call Franks a homo?

[VisualizeSmallerGovernment]

Gee, Barney. It’s too bad you don’t know anyone in Congress. Maybe they could pass a law making gay marriage legal or something. That way, you wouldn’t have to ask the Supreme Court to write laws.

[musicman]

"I’d reply by calling Bawney a “homoprobe”."

[AndyTheBear]

The term "hobophobe" seems to be applied exactly backwards. The people who have a real fear of homosexuals, are precisley the ones who would dare not say or do anything that might make homosexuals annoyed at them. While people who dare publically disagree with some of the dogma of the gay agenda are precisley the ones that are not afraid of gay people.
