"the recent gay and racial slurs slung by Tea Party members at Congressman Barney Frank and Representative John Lewis during the Health Care Reform Weekend,"

Were these "Tea Party Members" or did he fall for the antics of infiltrators, and is now paying for it?

There’s something that’s been largely overlooked, mostly a technical point, but its worth mentioning.

Apparently what was said to Barney Frank, by whoever it was, was something along the lines of “homo communist.”

My question is: How is this a slur? He is in fact a homosexual, and if this is a supposedly a slur because someone is overemphasizing his political views, then in fact, its a political slur, not a slur against gays. The remark about his orientation, technically speaking, was simply correct.

I don’t get it.
