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.” …

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.

Barney Frank and his creepy rhetoric. I think I recall his checkered past. Hey Barney...At least Newt admitted his wrong doings and blamed his own weaknesses. He never blamed the moral standards that most of us try to live by. What Newt said was right on. It's like you people are vampires..Mention God and look out!

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.

How is Sen. Pervert's ad hominem relevant to the subject at all?

—>>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?

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.

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.
