In case you don't want to watch the video here is the transcript of what he says. Awesome.

“There is a hypocrisy issue,” Barney Frank said. “Dennis Hastert was a member of the House who voted for the Defense of Marriage act. He subsequently as Speaker twice put before the House of Representatives the constitutional amendment that would have cancelled retroactively all the same sex marriages that had taken place legally. … The rank hypocrisy of this man using his power to persecute other people for doing what he was doing. Secondly, and it is relevant to note that in terms of the hypocrisy area, you mentioned Gingrich had to quit. It turns out Gingrich was at the time having an affair with the woman he is now married who was an employee of the House Agriculture Committee. And then Livingston who was supposed to replace him had to quit because he was having an affair not just with a woman but with a lobbyist who was lobbying him. So then in an effort to get somebody [who was clean], they get Hastert. The point is that all this was happening while they were impeaching Bill Clinton for having oral sex. So I think that it now looks like if you take Bill Clinton, Newt Gingrich, Dennis Hastert, and Robert Livingston the the Republican Speakers or would be speakers, Clinton is a choir boy.”

1. Yavin4 posted a thread yesterday, "Please don't mock Lindsay Graham because he may be Gay"

I see he edited the title to: "Please don't mock Lindsay Graham because of his mannerisms. Mock him for being a fucking war monger." I don't have a problem with anyone being gay I have a problem with gay hating gays. Pedophiles are a whole 'nother issue. I do believe that some rabid anti-homosexuals are desperately trying to remain deep in the closet, even from themselves.

Supposing he is gay, does his voting record support claims that he is a rank hypocrite? I think that would make the case for shaming him by homosexuals for being a sanctimonious evil person. Not for being gay but for harming gays while gay. What's your take on this?
