Some members of the liberal media commemorated Rep. Barney Frank’s (D-Mass.) retirement announcement by replaying his testy response to a CNSNews.com reporter about homosexuals showering with straight men in the military. Of course, they included their own eulogies about how much the liberal congressman would be missed.
A nostalgic Martin Bashir expressed his sadness at Frank’s departure on his Monday MSNBC show, touting “one of the greatest hits from a man who championed the poor and oppressed, Barney Frank. He’ll be sorely missed.” He then played the CNSNews.com clip.
Liberal HLN host Joy Behar ripped the CNSNews question as “stupid” as she asked Frank “Are you going to miss the stupid questions people ask you?” She presented the video of the question as an example. At the end of the interview, she told Frank “we’re really going to miss you in Congress.”
Behar, herself a champion of gay rights, asked the openly-gay congressman straight-up if ” there a lot of gays in the closet in Congress these days?” Frank used his answer – “Not a lot. There are some” – to then bash Republicans for their intolerance.
According to Frank, the party difference in Congress is that if a Republican announces he is gay, “as long as he’s embarrassed by it, and tries to hide it, and lies about it, they’ll tolerate it.”
“On the other hand on the Democratic side, we’re free to be who we are to bring our partners places,” he continued.

Homosexuality IS a mental sickness and ALL homosexuals ARE metnally sick, psychotic. Barney is proof.
Barny Frank,what a worthless piece of work.
Here's a prime example as to why term limits and a fair tax are imperative…and why a good right hand punch in the mouth is a real way to focus on, "it's not what you said,it's how you said it".
The homosexual (not PC gay) agenda is the most evil and absolute worst disease on the morals of the USA and the world! Homosexuals WERE NOT BORN THAT WAY so homosexuality does not qualify as a civil rights discrimination issue. The homosexual agenda is gaining great strength because so many good folks know someone who is queer (not PC gay) and say they are not bothering me. Queers want to make everyone think that homosexuality is normal especially children and want it taught in school. They have parades and queer pride days supported by Home Depot and other queer supporters. Be thankful that the corrupt queer Barney Frank is leaving and hopeful that all the other queer politicians will be voted out and that all the queer judges will be removed from the bench.
Apparently, they're free to allow their partners to pimp themselves out while sharing domiciles, too. As far as "tolerance" from liberal Democrats, that's laughable. They are only tolerant of those who are in lock-step with their politics and values. The rest of America can "go to hell", as fellow liberal Maxine Waters so eloquently stated. Barney Frank and his snide putdowns will not be missed by a majority of Americans.
Gee, no mention in this article about Barney being involved in a male prostitution ring back in the 1990's from his DC apt. Go figure. Anyone else would be in jail for this offense, but not Barney!
