The Tennessee Tea Party is speaking out about Representative Frank tonight and their view is sparking some controversy. After hearing he's retiring, the Tennessee Tea Party tweeted "Good riddance, you perverted sodomite POS!!!"
"I am appalled," says the Tea Party Nation's Judson Phillips. "This statement does nothing to advance the goals of the Tea Party movement and goes a long way towards offending people we need to be involved. Barney Frank is the worst congressman in the last century, but dumb comments like that tweet do not help our cause."
A spokesperson with the Tennessee Tea Party told FOX17 NEWS via phone tonight "If people think we've gone too far, it's Barney Frank that's gone too far."
The Tennessee Equality Project released a statement tonight, saying "The Tennessee Equality Project condemns the comments made by the Tennessee Tea Party about Congressman Barney Frank. Name-calling and bigotry have no place in our public debates. Americans can disagree without denying one another's humanity. Attacking an accomplished public official based on sexual orientation or gender identity shows the need for an open discussion about discrimination. If adults don't set a good example, we can't expect to address issues like bullying in our schools or discrimination on the job. TEP is ready to have an adult discussion with the people of Tennessee."
In 1987, Frank became the first congressman to voluntarily admit he is a homosexual.
Damn, should hear what I say about him...........Lots more blunter.
they should send Bawney a box of fudge as an apology
Judson Phillips needs to grow a pair.

Well said!
Good riddance, you perverted sodomite POS!!!
What part of that tweet was non factual?
Amazing. some people need to think before they tweet. Bet this makes Fox news.
Barney’s seat is wide open. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that).
Well Barney is a sodomite, he is a POS, I guess the insult or value judgment is “perverted”.
Ill advised, but you know, Barney Frank is a bad person. Male prostitution, growing pot on his property, shielded Fannie/ Freddie from scrutiny and caused the financial crisis, Dodd Frank is a disaster, and he’s disgustingly obnoxious to boot.
Maybe if it lapsed into four-letter words (and I don’t mean “scum” or “dolt” etc.) it would be a tweet too far. But this? It’s rough but it’s real.
Judson Phillips isn’t a tea partier. He just plays one in front of the cameras. At best, he’s a more nuanced RINO playing a tea partier.
Truly a “Piece of Scum.”
It may well be true that but for the grace of God there we go ourselves, and we should all want even Barney Frank to repent (change his mind about his sins) and be saved, but we wouldn’t want someone carrying on like he does now to occupy anything more dignified in Washington than a bathroom stall.
I see nothing I disagree with in that post.
Not saying it’s diplomatic by any stretch, but darned if I can’t find anything wrong with it.
you mean, in the tweets?
What would this nation come to if people started telling the truth, and speaking their minds?
After all, all perversions are to be not only tolerated, but held up higher than any old fashioned Christian values.
Tolerance only for the left.
In the Barney Frank tweet the article refers to.
But crapping on a police vehicle, or having multiple rapes occur at your activities doesn’t stir controversy.
My friend has an autistic son who is bullied in school. They've tried to get some action taken, especially in light of all the talk about anti-bullying initiatives.
I explained to him that the problem is that his autistic son isn't gay.
They don't label it as such, but the anti-bullying campaign is ONLY about gay kids. They don't give a flying crap about any hetero kids get picked on.
