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."

Am I dreamin?

Ah, most regrettably you are.

How much have we really heard about Charlie Rangel? How much have we really heard about Congressman Jim Matheson's brother receiving a nomination to the federal court--just as Obama was trying to persuade the congressman to switch his vote from No to Yes on health care?

Okay, what about Pennsylvania Congressman Joe Sestak being offered a job--in all likelihood as Secretary of the Navy--to drop his campaign against Arlen Specter? What about Democrat Andrew Romanoff who was offered the top job if he dropped his campaign against Senator Bennet in Colorado?

Anbody hear much about these things? Okay, maybe not individual instances, but surely the MSM is reporting on this pattern of illegal activity, right?

I rest my case.

Who watches the Lamestream Media anymore?

Most of their outlets are going out of business due to shortage of audience and advertisement revenue.

I’d say the majority of American get their news from Fox News, the RW blogs and AM Talk radio.

THIS SCANDAL WILL GO VIRAL, MARK MY WORDS!

The days when the Lamestream had a monopoly are ancient history.

Drudge linked this story and now miraculously, it’s gone. Rahm’s been on the phone to City Hall News already this morning.

And, of course, I hope you are right and I am wrong.

Massa will be lucky if he is able to get an audiance with his mother at this point. The corrupt MSM will bury him.

Check again. Audio of Massa calling Rahm Emanuel "son of the devil's spawn" is on Politico, Drudge, and going viral. Politico website can't handle the traffic.

Yes, why quit, you gutless MF? Someone come after me like that and he’d be walking away sans balls and the Congressional gym would need a serious cleanup.

There’s nothing fun about this...they’re ramming health care into law...the health care that has to be rammed because we don’t want it and they don’t care. And we can’t stop them. What pisses me off almost more than anything is they aren’t affected by this healthcare.

If they vote for Deathcare, and then get booted out of office by angry constituents, then they and their families will also be subjected to it. I just don't get it.

Massa is a liberal moonbat; in fact, he voted against Obamacare because it wasn’t liberal enough. Maybe he could switch to the Greens, but that wouldn’t do him much good, either.

Right, Massa is no conservative. It's likely he was one of those Dems that Pelosi allowed to vote NO on the house healthcare bill because hia seat was shaky.

Keep your mouths shut Dems and no one will go after you..Let the filthy Dems not know what you are doing when you vote..That is the only way to get rid of Pelosi and the death care bill..We will take care of Reid when November comes around..he won't even get a job as a dog catcher..Also when he is voted out prosecute him to the end and put his criminal butt in jail..

BTW I do not condone Sexual Harassment..Why wasn't Faggy Frank ever brought down by his party for running a queer whore house..

In such instances, I love to be wrong. I am still pessimistic that this will go mainstream, that is, outside of FOX, Drudge, or Politico. But again, I hope I’m proved wrong.

What Massa should do is not resign from the House. He should resign from the democrat party, become an independent, and call the dums on what they did to him.

We need you Massa in the House now.
