Barney Frank backs off from Israel criticism
Boston Herald ^ | June 3, 2010 | Hillary Chabot

Posted on 06/03/2010 7:39:17 AM PDT by ConservativeStatement

U.S. Rep. Barney Frank scrambled yesterday to backtrack from his criticisms of an Israeli raid on a pro-Palestinian flotilla that left nine dead - saying he never referred to those killed as “innocent.”

Frank, (D-Newton), came under fire from local Jewish groups after telling the Herald Tuesday he was “as a Jew ... ashamed” of some Israeli actions and saying there should be a “genuinely impartial” inquiry into the raid. Yesterday, Frank said a probe by an Israeli-commissioned group is best.

“The record of the United Nations with regard to Israel is a badly biased one and clearly no inquiry by the U.N. would have the credibility it ought to have,” Frank’s statement said.

Barney Frank lied. He has no shame. No shame when it comes to a gay prostitution ring being run out of his residence. No shame when it comes to fighting against regulating Fannie and Freddie and then attacking Boosh over RESISTING regulating the banks.

He’s a dirty rat bast&rd lying f***er.

Still, even the least afflicted leper may not leave the colony (as they used to say before modern drugs).

Barney kinda' forgot for a moment that he's a target for more reasons than the fact he's a dirty rotten Democrat grifter and grafter.

I suppose he had a flicker of a thought "Gee, those Moslem guys oughta' really like me now".

Where do we get ‘men’ like this. From what curdled sick center of his being do these beliefs emanate. Actually I know the answer, the boys a commie.

He must have gotten some nasty phone calls from some of his biggest Jewish donors.

Israel is fighting arms smuggling into Gaza which supports Hamas whose main agenda remains to 'push Israel into the sea"! This was a set up by Turkey

Support Israel, a friend and ally. We are fighting Iran and visa-versa by proxy! Congress should declare War on Iran.........what a bunch of gutless wonders this congress is!

Awww, Bawney, you have to dance for the ones that brung ya...when you take money from special interest groups and make promises to them, they will turn on you in a NYC and MA minute, even your homosexual buddies.

You’re still batting a thousand with your Fannie/Freddie contributors with your protection racket...but the public is onto that already, and you’re going to have a rough time come next election because we will be targeting you big time and pouring money into the campaign against you. Shoo, little girly fly, you’re toast.

Actually, “Barney Frank Backs Off” would be breaking news by itself.

As a Jew, I am embarrassed by Framk ... and all the other liberal Jewish RATS for that matter.
