The Washington Examiner ^ | October 1, 2010 | Byron York

Sean Bielat, the Republican candidate for Congress in Massachusetts' 4th District, has had just one conversation with his Democratic opponent, Rep. Barney Frank.

It was in August, at a parade in New Bedford. "I went up to introduce myself and said, 'Nice to meet you,'" Bielat recalls. "He said, 'I wish I could say the same, but you've made this personal. You've been attacking me.' Then he turned and walked away."

Bielat remembers thinking that was a little odd, since at that very moment Frank's Web site featured plenty of attacks on Bielat.

At least he didn’t have to wash Barney’s filth off his hand. Still, I hope Sean used a disinfectant to kill the airborne germs. Just getting close to that kind of nastiness is hazardous.

If there was any justice in this world, Barney Frank would be charged, tried, found guilty and sentenced to time in an all female prison.

“In the recent New York primaries turnout was up 400% in some precincts”

That is good news until they report a 400% voter turnout.

***I’d love to hear Rush talk about this the same way he did about O’Donnell,***

Perhaps Rush could encourage Elton John to sing a Bielat jingle.......that would be a hoot;)

What? Maybe this homosexual (Barney Frank) will go into the closet after this election...

The folks in Massachusetts maybe dusting off some history books and realizing the original tea party was in Boston...

Maybe they are jumping on the bandwagon...
