Congressman Barney Frank blasted former House Speaker Newt Gingrich for hypocrisy on Wednesday, criticizing the marital track record of his political nemesis after Gringrich connected the Sandy Hook school massacre to the absence of religion in public life.
“God appears to have been driven out of Mr. Gingrich’s private life if you look at his marital history,” Frank said on MSNBC. “He’s very selective about where he thinks fundamental religious tenets ought to be followed.” …

What a piece of dog crap. I think slaughtering little kids is a bit more egregious than an affair in the past. Barney is a neon advertisement for what lack of God causes, and not even homosexuality. Obnoxious lying, immoral public policies, drug use, corruption, just an overall bad human being.
Where does that old fudge packer Franks get off talking about or denigrating anyone for their religious beliefs or standards! It is interesting how the least God loving feel empowered to speak on the faith of others.
Another gem from the commie butt-boy...
“Massachusetts Representative Barney Frank, an acknowledged homosexual, today confirmed that his Washington apartment had been used as a callboy headquarters by a male prostitute for a year and a half until late 1987. Responding to a story in today’s Washington Times, Frank said he had hired the prostitute out of his own funds as a personal aide and fired him when he found out what was going on.”
Mass shootings didn’t exist until God and the Bible were driven from the public square.
Having an affair, while distasteful, does not remove one from religion. It does move one away from God, but God doesn't turn his back on the sinner, nor has the sinner removed himself from the Church. We are all, by our nature, sinners. Some choose to live the best life they can, even knowing that they will fall short of perfection. Others know that perfection isn't possible and don't even try, preferring to revel in sinful behavior instead and using whatever bizarre justifications that they come up with. Like, say, Frank, for instance.
Mention religion to a liberal and they go hysterical but then every four years during a presidential election cycle you see the same hypocrite Democrats visiting a Black church in search for votes and invoking religion in their speeches.
Barney’s blast against Newt just proves that Newt hit the target head on.
Christians aspire to live up to a high set of standards, but being human sometimes fail.
The difference is that when a Christian fails he blames the failure on himself and doesn't blame the standards.
When a fudge-packer fails, he blames the standards.
I thought Congressman Barney Frank had put that behind him. or something.
You just listed the top qualifications for a Democratic politician...

Barney “The Banking Queen” Frank has the unmitigated gall to call Newt Gingrich a hypocrite? You mean the same Barney Frank whose live in lover was running a gay prostitution ring out of his Georgetown townhouse and used to hang around schools to pickup boys for trysts? Or, the Barny Frank whose boyfriend had a commercial pot farm at his vacation home? THAT Barney Frank?
that’s just gross
Who knew the people of Newtown are the leftist entertainment and education industry Newt was referring to?
Bawney Fwank is soooooo smaaaat.
barney frank is the modern equivalent of Caligula’s horse. What a worthless piece of work.
That insults Caligula’s horse.
The soft hand of Leftwing psychology was also the iron fist that sucker punched Faith to the curb.
Much faith was nominal, and succumbed to such B.S. Rooted faith would gladly punch right back.
This response is a “non sequitur” even if it were possible that Newt Gingrich were the worst hypocrite in the world. Only a liberal would think to answer a question of truth or falsity with an accusation of hypocrisy.
And anyhow, the truth or falsehood of the assertion Newt made doesn’t depend at all upon whether Newt is, or was, a hypocrite. Liberals are so conditioned to reflexively hurl such rhetorical grenades that they don’t even ponder whether they are making sense.

Isn’t that the truth. A lot of men/women have affairs unfortunately. Frank should had been put in jail. Guess, he knew how to talk his way out of that one.
I bet you the horse would have a higher IQ than Queen Barney.

If the left REALLY loved the children - and wanted them protected rather than murdered - they would insist on laws forcing all citizens to attend Church or Synagogue once a week.
For those of you who say that’s unconstitutional, look what liberals are calling for - they want to ban guns. That’s unconstitutional too. AND it’s been proven NOT to be effective at stopping crime. We can match them in our passionate concern - so concerned we trample THEIR rights...
Maybe if we started throwing out the parts of the Constitution that get in our way ( like liberals do ) they would start defending the document... It’s worth a try.
Before Newt entered the Catholic Church, he submitted his marital history to the objective criteria and orderly judgment of the Church’s annulment process. He is legitimately married to Callista in the eyes of the Catholic Church. Not that anything baby-killer Barney Frank says requires any response.
Newt accepted the idea of gay marriage and still gets no respect from gay rights advocates!
I dont know any details about Gengrich’s marital issues, but I believe he would tell you what he did was wrong much quicker than Franks ever would, shame or contrition doesnt exist in the liberal mind.
Newt and Fwank. What a pair!
