BREAKING: Tennessee Tea Party Sparks Controversy Over Tweet
WZTV - Fox 17 ^ | 11/28/11

Posted on 11/28/2011 8:05:14 PM PST by SmithL

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.

Bwahahahahaha ... and on another note. When I made my weekly grocery run to Wlly World today, I discovered that the street vermin (OWS by another name) pulled there stunt in our Wally World Friday, ot tired to. They were ‘escorted’ out of the sotre as they yelled obscenities and tipped over loaded carts waiting to pay at the registers. Two were arrested and a couple of fights broke out, but ended quickly as the ‘victors’ walked away leaving the street vermin on the floor.

Occasionally some school parents do try to get some steam up about “generic” bullying, reference for example the tragic suicide of the girl that got Facebook attacked at the behest of the mother of another student. But I’m not surprised to hear the focus seems primarily upon shielding gays who go out of their way to appear weird.

Right. We're supposed to just bend over and smile while a perverted sodomite POS destroys our banking system under the pretense of fairness and tolerance; while our Constitution's meaning, intent, and laws are trampled underfoot at the behest of foreign interests. Hey, Tennessee Equality Project: Screw you and the horse you rode in on. Bigotry my Barney. This is righteous anger, and you'll soom feel it from the voting booth.

>> “I am appalled,” says the Tea Party Nation’s Judson Phillips.

Tea Party Universe does not endorse Phillips’ opinion.

What is Tea Party Nation? Another good ol' Boys wannabe group?
I never heard of this clown or this group, and I have embracd the Tea Party since its creation because it did not have a political hierarchy.

Tiny people with a giant appetite for power.
Attention whores.

I agree with the statement. What else can you say about a pervert whose boyfriend ran a gay prostitution business out of his (Fwank's) apartment?

I’d have left the POS part out of the message. It’s vulgar,crude and detracts from the simple truth that sodomy is perversion.

Ol’ Barney just wanted to be able to spend more time with the wife and kids.

Wife and kids?

Barney can multitask, you know. He's a congressman!

Well, OK. That would be one kid, in the singular. But double-duty as wife? For sure!

That, of course, is a lie.

The Tennessee Equality Project and their ilk are the same people who were happy to eulogize the actual first admitted homosexual congressman (and predatory pedophile), Gerry Studds, the Massachusetts representative who, at the age of 46, was censured by the House for sodomizing a 17-year-old male House page.

The Democrats must be thrown out.

Which, by the way, happened in 1983.

What other words could describe our disgust with a man who almost caused the complete collapse of the U.S. economy? Calling him a traitor just does not cut it.

"I am appalled," says the Tea Party Nation's Judson Phillips.

Judson Phillips is an opportunistic scumbag and likely a liberal ringer. His name keeps popping up every time someone from 'the Tea Party' is needed to criticise the true Tea Party.

BS !!!! when we call a spade a spade, we do not have these freakshows empowered with anything

THAT is the example our kids need to learn
