BOSTON (AP) - Rep. Barney Frank said Monday that Republican criticism of Democrats over the nation's housing crisis is a veiled attack on the poor that's racially motivated.

The Massachusetts Democrat, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, said the GOP is appealing to its base by blaming the country's mortgage foreclosure problem on efforts to expand affordable housing through the Community Reinvestment Act.

Barney has two cards to pull, the first one he reached for is the race card.

I just hope the public wakes up and realizes just how falsely the race card has been played by these jokers.

He's saying that because he hates women. And resents that Sarah's on the ticket. That's the real reason... he's a sexist.

Oh, puhleeease, Bawney. That old chestnut is, to quote the eloquent SpongeBob, “Old, and cold...and so very full of mold!”. Give it up, we all know that the best defense the Democrats can come up with when someone exposes their malfeasance is “racism”! We all know you’re full of it.

I didn’t know the Sodomites were a race of people. Wouldn’t they die out rather quickly?

Blah blah blah...

They might want to check and see if hurling around the word “racist” has any power anymore.

That’s the problem with over-using a word like “racist”, especially against people who AREN’T- the power goes away.

Since I assume McCain was afraid of beating the Dems over the head with Fannie and Freddie because he was afraid of being called racist, he might has well start firing with both barrels since they have already played the race card here.

I suppose Barney has been sodomized by Blacks, Asians, Indians, Eskimos, Fiji islanders, Jews, Alaskans and red Dwarfs. If not, he’s got some ‘splaining to do.

Democrats are sadists.

They give families homes that the families can't afford to stay in.

Barney Frank needs a Term Limit.

Among other things.

Barney had better play some card.... he’s running out of time. Read comments from his constituency.

Only true if the loan program was racially targeted. Right?

Very interesting question. Maybe we should see stats...how many poor white people received these loans?

Barney’s defense is itself racist. He blames Republicans for attacking the poor. Only barney has drawn the conclusion that all the poor who have had housing problems are black. Barney Frank is a racist bigot.

“the GOP is appealing to its base by blaming the country’s mortgage foreclosure problem on efforts to expand affordable housing through the Community Reinvestment Act.”

To the extent that the CRA, along with DhimmiRat demands that lenders loosen mortgage underwriting guidelines, created this problem, YES, I’m in agreement with the GOP assessment.

Had banks been left alone, using the credit worthiness guidelines they’d had in place for many years, this would not have happened.

The LibTards have their fingerprints all over this debacle, and they are scrambling like roaches when the light comes on to avoid taking responsibility for their shenanigans.
