During his Navy career, Eric Massa allegedly touched at least two men inappropriately and may have exhibited a pattern of putting himself in situations where he would see men naked – particularly younger and lower-ranked men.
These allegations come from general shipboard understandings and conversations, and were relayed to me by shipmates of Eric Massa.
In one instance... Massa and a lieutenant were on liberty in the Middle East. Massa had made the motel arrangements and the room turned out to have only one bed. The lieutenant reportedly told other officers on the ship that while they were in the room, Massa came up behind him and started massaging his neck and shoulders....he later told shipmates, he was awakened by Massa’s hands in his shorts. The lieutenant was startled and turned away. Massa rolled over and pretended to be asleep....
A few months after this incident, another lieutenant ... had a somewhat similar situation. In the stateroom, Massa had the bottom rack and the lieutenant had the top rack. ... he had awakened to Massa atop him in his bunk.
The lieutenant rebuffed Massa.
Neither lieutenant officially complained about their experiences. In both instances, Massa was their boss ...
Also ....junior officers were troubled by the fact that Massa used their shower – even though it was four decks below his stateroom and he had showering facilities with the other senior officers....
These are the things I knew about Eric Massa three years ago. I had them primarily from one source, and in part from two other sources.
None of the sources wanted to speak publicly, though one of the sources wanted the story to go public. The other two feared retribution and had gone on with their lives and didn’t want to get involved in an old controversy.

He wanted a more socialist version, IIRC.
The Democrats knew about the accusations about Massa and this whole story was leaked by the Democrats as punishment and a warning to other Democrats.
Maybe, but that's only speculation. The GOP is competitive in that C.D.
AMEN!!!
Massa campaigned for his former boss, Wesley Clark.

If Lonsberry knew this before Massa’s campaign, don’t you think the Dems did too? Look what the Dems are doing to NY
Governor Patterson?
Ergo ....Massa could be blackmailed into any vote.
When Massa ran for Congress he opposed the Iraq War.
Massa serves on the Armed Forces Committee. I wonder how he will vote on Don’t ask, don’t tell?
Current Elected Office Committees:
Agriculture
Armed Services
Homeland Security
Grrrr ugh
How much did Mrs. Massa know about this?
I find it difficult to believe that the Democrats did not know of the allegations against Massa, considering that there were similar allegations during his time in the military.
Funny how this stuff works. They talk about repealing DADT, and Eric Massa gets outed.
System works a little sometimes I guess.
You are correct.
He claimed he wanted the public option. I know for a fact his phone was ringing off the hook with people like me again calling to tell him VOTE NO on Obamacare.
Another Dem-Chicago example of smearing and eating their own.
Homophobic? They were afraid of homosexuals? My experiences onboard two Leahy Class Cruisers were entirely different. We were generally disgusted by homosexuals and did not want them in our midst.
Not afraid. “Homophobic” is what PC folks called us who have no tolerance for gays onboard.
Yep, same as us!
Who’s that a picture of?

Okay. The Democrat newsrooms are obviously in high gear to save their Democrat and help him get re-elected by putting out these stories. The guy is like a Democrat magnet. They must love him.
And yet stories like these from Massa's shipmates work brutally against the Democrat push to get open sodomites into the military.
I was thinking the same thing. It really shows how desperate they are that they would betray the homosexual lobby to get rid of a guy who voted against health care.
I’m blanking on the actor’s name.
