In their consistent refusal to take responsibility for ANYTHING, the teenagers of the political world in America, the Democrat Party, will mindless refer to critics as “racist” or “sexist” or “xenophobic” or “homophobic” REGARDLESS of the accuracy of the charge.
This time, the accuser is Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA, gay prostitution), the same jackass who assured Congress that FannieMae/FreddieMac were doing A-OK financially! (Barney is quite a financial genius.)
The fact that he is up to his neck in the mortgage mess and should be investigated immediately doesn’t prevent him for displaying some brass balls in attacking others.
Frank says GOP housing attacks racially motivated By GLEN JOHNSON
“They get to take things out on poor people,” Frank said at a mortgage foreclosure symposium in Boston. “Let’s be honest: The fact that some of the poor people are black doesn’t hurt them either, from their standpoint. This is an effort, I believe, to appeal to a kind of anger in people.”
All of which might be true if Republicans were actually (1) racist and (2) blaming poor people. Democrats would call John Brown or Martin Luther King a racist if it furthered their agenda. It’s their imitation of Tourette’s patients. (Except the poor souls with Tourette’s can’t help their condition.)
From the beginning, Republicans have placed blame where it belongs: on liberal Democrats with zero financial sense.
Nevermind the racism involved in assuming that minorities cannot get a mortgage from their own labor and effort and need the government’s help to do so.
House Minority Leader John Boehner of Ohio called Frank’s remarks “a lame, desperate attempt to divert Americans’ attention away from the Democratic party’s obstruction of reforms that would have reined in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and helped our nation avoid this economic crisis.”
“Congressman Frank should retract his ridiculous statements and start taking responsibility for the role he and other top Democrats played in putting Main Street Americans in this mess,” Boehner said.
Retract? Good luck.
