Associated Press/Boston Herald ^ | 09/02/2008 | AP

WASHINGTON - Rep. Barney Frank is among the first Democrats to publicly say Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s family background, including the pregnancy of her unwed teenage daughter, should be fair game for campaign discussion.

"They’re the ones that made an issue of her family," Frank, D-Mass., said Tuesday in a telephone interview with The Associated Press.

LOL can we say Larry Sinclair?

Seriously, bottom line is that Palin has more experience thatn the Dem Presidential nominee. That is what is killing the libtards. In their gut they know it is true lol.

Comments from The Daily Kos (via Jonah Goldberg at NRO):

"If health insurance for all, an end to the Iraq War, an end to torture and illegal wiretapping, and a sane energy policy can be obtained at the price of destroying one teenage girl, her family, and the surrendering our self-respect I see that as a cheap trade."

And:

"Are you telling me that you would not use character-destroying lies to ensure a war against Iran does not occur?... What choice do we have? When faced with monsters, we have to be monstrous ourselves."

And:

Are you telling me you would not destroy the love a family holds for one another, even if it meant letting someone who would destroy the constitution become president?

I’m surprised at Barney - thought he’d have more empathy for the Republicans - seeing as:

“He’s a come from behind kind of a guy”.

How can anybody who’s a fag with a name like “Barney Frank” be taken seriously?

Secondly, the notion of marriage and family is something that they’ve been trying to take over and redefine for years now, and they view somebody whose life is as normal as that of Sarah Palin as a direct challenge to their control of the issue

Here's the next logical step in their argument "See, this wouldn't have happened if Bristol's boyfriend was gay".

The Dems have to be cerifiably insane to go there.

My Boy Lollipop.
He makes me feel so giddyup!!
( I miss Rush’s Barney updates)/
People who have never fathered children, then, are
also “fair game”??? Let’s extend it to Barney and see
how he likes it. I can tell you that I will NOT listen
to people like Frank, or Gore Vidal, or Elton John, or whomever, who are totally outside the real-world connectedness of people with nuclear families, I will NOT listen to their opinions about families, because they know NOTHING about it~

Confidential to Mass GOP: (yes, all five of you) Barney represents some pretty blue-collar cities and towns, does he not? I think you could really send him a message this election. Are you even running a candidate? If so, then s/he should be ramming Barney’s comments back down his throat. If not running one, then orchestrate a write-in campaign. It might not win but a) you might get a reverse-coattails thing going and b) a much closer outcome than usual might send a message that it is time for Barney to retire.

If, as is being reported, Palin plans to bring her daughter Bristol AND boyfriend/fiance/baby-daddy/”f**king redneck”/”don’t want kids” Levi Johnston onto the stage at the close of her convention speech, it’s a little hard to say they’re not fair game. If they’re off-limits for political debate, they should be staying home in Alaska and going to school.

It’s like someone saying “it’s her fault that I raped her”

——yes, indeed, and that is un- official policy is large parts of the Muslim world, and still provides a legal loophole for the tortured and tortuous conflicts these people and their “cultures” live under, and with, and exploit to their advantage, at will. It’s just another point of confluence of the Useful Idiots of the Left with the Jihadist enemies of this country, and they can’t resist it , and it keeps putting them squarely in their camp. And this is only the thousandth example I have noticed of it.

Well. not exactly.
Would she have brought them onstage (BTW, it hasn’t happened YET) if they hadn’t already been “OUTED” by the handmaiden MSM? If she does it, I can see how it might be a bombshell that throws it all back in their faces, and that would be a good thing! It could all be done in a spirit of being “forthcoming”, and none of this would be an issue if THEY hadn’t made it an issue, thinking they could exploit its and her “hypocrisy”-—there is no hypocrisy there, except theirs.

No. Just bringing the kids onstage doesn't make them fair game.

If that were the case, Obama's kids would be 'fair game' too.

No one is going there.

Barney Frank: Sarah Palin’s family life is fair game

Great Barney. While we're at it, lets talk about your visits to the homo bath houses - how many times did you go during the recent Congressional break?
