On radio show, Massa says Dem leaders railroaded him because he voted against ObamaCare
The Washington Examiner ^ | Mar. 8, 2010 | David Freddoso

Posted on 03/08/2010 5:13:55 AM PST by The Old Hoosier

Rep. Eric Massa, D-N.Y., under investigation for alleged sexual harassment of a male staffer, accused House Democratic leaders of lying about the charges against him and using them to run him out of Congress because he voted against health care reform when it last came before the House.

Roll Call reports this morning that on the local radio show he hosts in his district, Massa said he had not been informed of the sexual harassment allegations before they became public. He claimed that Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., spoke falsely when he said he had brought the matter to him previously, Massa said. “Steny Hoyer has never said a single word to me, at all, ever, not once," Massa said. "Not a word. This is a lie. It’s a blatant, false statement."

Per @DefendGlenn on Twitter:

URGENT: Contact Eric Massa and tell him to stay and Fight ObamaCare http://is.gd/9XP0e 5pm Deadline

ReTweet it and pass it on! If Massa rescinds his resignation by 5pm today, he can stay and vote against ObamaCare in the House. It will take the Rats weeks to get rid of him via the Ethics committee.

Funny how FOX News is the ONLY one covering this!

If ever there is the revolution some people claim there will be (I do not believe this), the MSM absolutely MUST be found as guilty as all the other treasonous left-wing trash in the government.

Again, I must reiterate that I do not believe there will be a CW2 nor do I condone such action.

“Do you really think the MSM is going to let anyone hear this? Do you think he will be on the morning shows? The Sunday shows? The news in general?”

Today, Monday, 3-8, I'm listening to Massa’s taped comments on the Glenn Beck radio program. We've got to get the word to Rush, Hannity, Mark Levin and all other radio commentators to play the Massa tape which contains his side of the smear tactic the Rats are running on him. Massa needs to be heard.

Eric Massa is no hero.

He would have been the first to flip to a Yes vote on HCR.

He voted No because the House bill was not Liberal enough.

He admires the single payer option.

Here is his speech at the Netroots Nation convention in Las Vegas last August:

In this interview he says he will vote for a single payer bill against the wishes of his district:

There won't be an appointment before the health care bill but only because Andy Cuomo keeps hiding Paterson's pens.

LMAO!

Massa, who voted against health care reform in November, accused Democratic leaders of driving him out of office in the cause of passing health care reform. "With the departure of Congressman Neil Abercrombie (D), who is running for the governorship of Hawaii, and with the tragic and very sad passing of my personal friend Jack Murtha (D-Pa.), mine is now the deciding vote on the health care bill and this administration and this House leadership have said, quote-unquote, they will stop at nothing to pass this health care bill. And now they’ve gotten rid of me and it will pass. You connect the dots."

The comment that landed Massa in hot water, he claimed, was a sexual proposition he made in jest at a table full of drunken male staffers at a wedding reception on New Year's Eve. He also said that the complainant was not the man he allegedly harassed, but an offended third party who witnessed the incident.

"This is what Congress has come to," an angry Massa said. "The government is not our enemy, but it is broken beyond repair."

Wow. This is getting interesting... Check out Drudge! Massa calls Rahm Emanuel: "The Son of the Devil's Spawn".

Massa is lying through his teeth. You couldn’t get a scenario such as he claims unless you had a cabal of Chicago politicians running national politics. Ah....wait a minute. Please cancel prior statement. How silly of me.

You made me laugh out loud....

He said he would if it became a national story. Rush just played the clips. It’s now a national story. LOL! Get fired up Massa!

“I think the Massa-Rahm Emanuel links on Drudge are melting down...”

Could it be a denial-of-service attack ordered by the spawn of satan (Rahm E. that is)?

IIRC - In the radio interview - he mentioned his beloved hero - the late John Murtha.

Massa only explodes in the Socialists faces IF....IF... the blind masses are aware and care. The MSM will NOT highlight this rift.

Please move along...... Massa sounds like a racist remark anyway.
