Why did Congress allow Fannie Mae to “relax lending standards so as to make it easier for poor and minority borrowers to get mortgages”? (WSJ, 10/08/08, P.A16 “Barney Breaks It Down”)

Barney Frank’s House Banking Committee in the 1990s had jurisdiction over Fannie Mae. Herb Moses, an Assistant Director for Fannie Mae at the time, reminded the Washington Post that, “Barney always introduces me as his lover.”

Congress’s relaxed standards for Fannie Mae could be due to Barney Frank’s blatant conflict of interest and failure to curb the reckless business his lover directed.

But NBC says it edited the piece to remove an inflammatory graphic. The graphic appeared under the Sandlers and said “People who should be shot.”

That sent alarms through NBC because the Sandlers are, in fact, real.....


They sort of have a point there.

You don’t understand. To allow the skit to stand as it was would be homophobic. No, really. Just as criticism of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are proof of racism. No, really.

They needed to get rid of the “they need to be shot” caption. I just reviewed both versions and Newsmax is correct in their claim. NBC was definitely “overly zealous” in their cutting.

Is Barney Franks’s Former Gay “Husband” and Fannie Mae Executive Now a Gay Porn Actor? Web investigation indicates he likely is:

Barney Frank’s former so-called “spouse” was a man named Herb Moses.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/clinton/stories/frank121898.htm

At the time, Herb Moses was a director for housing initiatives at Fannie Mae.
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4182/is_/ai_n10104224.

Herb Moses helped develop many of Fannie Mae’s affordable housing and home improvement lending programs.
http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/id.1277/pub_detail.asp

Herb Moses was reportedly a mortgage expert who left Fannie Mae in 1998 to start a pottery business.
http://www.businessandmedia.org/articles/2008/20080924145932.aspx

But not before his lover Barney Frank lobbied hard to widen Fannie Mae’s ability to give mortgages to high-risk borrowers.
http://www.businessweek.com/archives/1994/b33985.arc.htm

A “Herbert M. Moses” from Washington D.C. and employed by Fannie Mae gave $1500 to Democrats in the 1990s.
http://www.opensecrets.org/indivs/search.php?name=moses%2C+herb&state=&zip=&employ=&cand=&all=Y&sort=N&capcode=jb97b&submit=Submit

A “Herbert M. Moses” in D.C. is listed at whitepages.com
http://www.whitepages.com/search/FindPerson?extra_listing=mixed&form_mode=opt_b&post_back=1&firstname_begins_with=1&firstname=herbert&name=moses&street=&city_zip=&state_id=DC&localtime=survey.

At this whitepages page, you will find a “background records” link that allows you to buy a detailed report on that name from a list of several links.
http://preview.ussearch.com/preview/ala/newsearch?&searchState=DC&searchFName=herbert&searchLName=moses&adID=6194003754&adsource=9&TID=1&cid=background&searchtab=background

Several of those links will give a teaser list of cities where the named person presumedly has lived or lives.
http://www.ussearch.com/consumer/ala/category.do?cid=5105&did=0&adID=10002101&&searchtab=people&&searchFName=Herbert&searchMName=M&searchLName=Moses&searchCity=Washington&searchState=DC&searchApproxAge=&searchStateJurisdiction=DC&searchGender=&searchZip=20009-1106&vid=cfc&searchAgentNotes=Name_ViewAll&searchPerson=001786905501

Fact check: you can type in the name of someone you know and see that the list of teaser cities is an actual list of the actual cities where the named person has lived.

For “Herbert M. Moses” of D.C., Huntington Beach, CA, is one of 6 cities listed as a current or former residence.
http://www.ussearch.com/consumer/ala/category.do?cid=5105&did=0&adID=10002101&&searchtab=people&&searchFName=Herbert&searchMName=M&searchLName=Moses&searchCity=Washington&searchState=DC&searchApproxAge=&searchStateJurisdiction=DC&searchGender=&searchZip=20009-1106&vid=cfc&searchAgentNotes=Name_ViewAll&searchPerson=001786905501

Newport Beach is 6 miles from Huntington Beach
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&saddr=newport+beach,+ca&daddr=Huntington+Beach,+CA&hl=en&geocode=&mra=ls&sll=33.829785,-117.27787&sspn=1.204664,2.460938&ie=UTF8&z=13

A google search of “Herbert Moses”
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22Herbert+Moses%22

brings you to a photo and contact page of “Herb Moses” working at Wells Fargo in the mortgage department in Newport Beach
https://www.wfhm.com/wfhm/herbert-moses/index.page

and Herb Moses of Wells Fargo mortgage is also listed at this website
http://workmanrealestategroup.com/lenders.html

A brand new FReeper, Stevie1958, has posted an interesting note at FR claiming that this same pictured Herb Moses has made porn films with his current long-term gay sex partner.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2094109/posts?page=85#85

A google search using key terms revealed by this new FReeper, Stevie1958, does lead to webpages with photos of the same pictured man (identified above as Herb Moses) engaged in explicit homosexual sex acts.
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22jessie+foxx%22+%22real+couples%22

So, it seems that Barney Frank’s former homosexual “spouse” who was a Fannie Mae executive, is now a third rate loan salesman and gay pron star. It makes Frank’s old housemate, Steve Gobie, who Frank met when he hired him as a male escort, and who ran a gay “escort” service from Frank’s D.C. home, seem pretty tame in comparison (Representative Barney Frank received a formal reprimand from the House for his relationship with a male prostitute - Gobie).

And one more thing: Is Stevie1958 really Stephen L. Gobie?

When I first saw it, I didn't know that the Sandlers were real people. (Hell, I thought they were poking fun at Adam Sandler or something by using his last name.)

Knowing that they are real, it makes sense to remove that line. Wasn't a smart thing to put there. (Even if they should be ... locked away for a long period of time.)

Was that the only change they made?

No surpise here. Wonder if this censorship will be a wakeup call for the SNL crew or offend their professional integrity? What am I saying? They are clueless moonbats who have no professional integrity. Nevermind.

Of course homosexual activists are sacrosanct and cannot be made fun of or criticized for any reason nowadays (even if it has nothing to do with their sexuality).
