So far the Republican Sex Scandals has included only a partial list of Republican leaders who have betrayed their wives, betrayed their children, and committed illegal sex acts: Sanford, Vitter, Craig, Ensign, Cunningham, Foley, McCain, Reagan, Limbaugh, Gingrich, and Giuliani.

But the list of Republicans who betrayed their wives is much longer and includes:

Republican Representative Bob Livingston betrayed his wife.

Republican Representative Dan Burton betrayed his wife (and had a child by the women he was having the affair with).

Republican Representative Tim Hutchinson betrayed his wife.

Republican Representative Henry Hyde betrayed his wife.

Republican Senator Bob Packwood betrayed his wife.

Keep in mind that these are all NATIONAL Republican Leaders that betrayed their wives.

The national list of Republicans adulterers isn’t complete, but there is a bonus round of state Republican leaders that we can list as well.

Would you like to continue playing the: Name That Hypocritical Republican’s Sex-capades Game?

The parallels are that both men betrayed their marriages and were dishonest.

But I don’t recall Clinton jetting around the world multiple times to entertain his nookie.

He came clean BECAUSE he got caught, not because he felt it his moral imperative to do so.

There’s a huge difference.

I don’t condone Clinton’s lying about his encounters with Monica Lewinsky, but at least he didn’t abandon his post and leave his staff to supply the nation with a host of bs about his whereabouts.

He lied and he paid for it, which is why the Right keeps bringing it up as the crime of the century, but Bush continues get 2 thumbs up for lying the country into the hellhole that is Iraq.

Except that in 1870, Joe Lunch pail was working 20 hours a day, 7 days a week, with heavy machinery that could maim or kill him at a moment’s notice, and living in a tenement building that could barely contain him, much less his family. Yeah, I’d rather pay a little extra for that flower than go through what he did.

How about giving him the benefit of the doubt and assume he was not home? Many Congresspeople have 2 apartments. One in their home state and one in DC where their job is.

Yeah – lying and hypocritical bulshit isn’t exactly my modus operandi, unlike Limbaugh lickers like you. Research skills = mindlessly spewing Rewpublican’t propaganda? Bite me, fucktard.

Just bringing the debate down to your level, moron. Maybe one of these days you can try that whole objectivity thing you claim to have some sort of familiarity with.

So you’re calling Frank a liar. Prove it.

Also, where did you find out that his paramour said anything different? Prove that, too.</blockquote

Washington Post: Gobie’s dream has come true. His accusation that Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) knew that Gobie had operated a prostitution service out of Frank’s Capitol Hill apartment became national news after it was first reported Friday by the Washington Times. Do some research, Tom. Tons of it on this subject. You didn’t even try.

It wasn’t a house. It was an apartment.

…and this means what, exactly?

Typical apartment usually smaller than the typical house, fewer places to be clandestine.

Again, some sort of proof of your wild-assed, unfounded allegations would be helpful if you don’t want to be considered a hypocritical, lying Republican’t propagandist.

Your research skills are piss-poor at best. Again as I said before, you don’t even try. You have no problem leveling charges, but you not only do nothing to back them up, you ask questions without knowing the answer ahead of time from even the barest minimum of research…not even the simplest of Google searches. If you had, you would know that these are assertions that Mr. Frank has been honest about and admitted and are documented for the record.

Dolt.

Did anyone find such calls? Or do you expect us to believe that you’re telling the truth here, after you’ve been lying so consistently around here for so long?

I didn’t say they took place. I’m asking you to put yourself in a more objective position, and ask yourself how someone of his age and intelligence could pretend to be so naive. It belies common sense. It belies far less than what you assert about Larry Craig that you pulled out of your ass.

Well – other than the fact that he pled guilty to the charge, according to the Conservative New Network (and others at the time.
Care to put your foot even further up your a$$ on this?

I’m well aware of the facts in that case. But let’s you and I stick to the argument. You asserted that he gave and/or received blow jobs. Either document that or admit, as SFC B and I originally called you on that started us down the Barney Frank dirt road, that you pulled that out of your ass, and you are a hypocrite for asserting it and then blasting us for bringing up Frank’s almost preposterous claim of naivete.

You are not very good at this, Tom. Good at the ‘Republican’ts’ and the usual fire-breathing typical of far-left lib blogs, but like Newsie, woefully short on substance or backing up what you say. And forget owning up to your own baseless assertions when called on them.

Again, Tom, when you maintain, ‘From the reports at the time, Frank didn’t know about any sort of prostitution going on in the house’,

a) The reports at the time were from Barney Frank. His word against his young paramour’s.

So you’re calling Frank a liar. Prove it.

Also, where did you find out that his paramour said anything different? Prove that, too.

b) It wasn’t a house. It was an apartment.

…and this means what, exactly?

c) It was over a year and a half. Frank answered an ad and paid him for his first tryst. He knew he was a prostitute. What you are calling SFC B and me both hypocrites for is doubting that he knew anything about his young prostitute lover operating a prostitution ring in his very own apartment over a period of a year and a half.

Again, some sort of proof of your wild-assed, unfounded allegations would be helpful if you don’t want to be considered a hypocritical, lying Republican’t propagandist.

d) You are also going to naively assume and at the same deride us for the notion that no one who was in on the prostitution ring never picked up a phone and tipped off Mr. Frank, a noted Congressman, that this was happening, not even once over a span of a full year and a half.

No – I’m deriding you for the notion that you can pull this sort of thing out of your a$$ and expect it to be considered remotely reality-based. Did anyone find such calls? Or do you expect us to believe that you’re telling the truth here, after you’ve been lying so consistently around here for so long?

So yo have come full circle. You first say Larry Craig gave out blow jobs in a bathroom that you have no evidence or even a charge that these things happened,

Well – other than the fact that he pled guilty to the charge, according to the Conservative New Network (and others at the time.

Care to put your foot even further up your a$$ on this?

Just another liberal poster who screams about Republican hypocrisy who can’t imagine in his wildest dreams that he could ever be a hypocrite.

Your mind reading skills need some work, young Padwan. Just another Republican’t hypocrite who whinges about others putting words in their mouths while simultaneously doing it themselves. By all means, keep on digging up, stupid…

He’s referring to when Limbaugh would insult Chelsea Clinton during the Clinton Administration. —
–SFC B

Yes. I’m just asking News Reference, the OW Wikipedia king here, to give me any kind of a news reference to the event in question that would be proof that this “attack” actually occurred, and what the circumstances were. I’ve asked him several times since he prints is as fact, and he always balks. Same with the McCain “C” word allegation. For some reason he has this fear of documentation and verification on certain beliefs he presents as fact.

a) The reports at the time were from Barney Frank. His word against his young paramour’s.

b) It wasn’t a house. It was an apartment.

c) It was over a year and a half. Frank answered an ad and paid him for his first tryst. He knew he was a prostitute. What you are calling SFC B and me both hypocrites for is doubting that he knew anything about his young prostitute lover operating a prostitution ring in his very own apartment over a period of a year and a half. This is the same man liberals swoon over when he gets into a yelling match with Bill O’Reilly. This 45 year old Harvard educated man supposedly had no idea this sort of thing was going on in his apartment, and for some reason you think it is hypocritical and malevolent to doubt him when he maintains ignorance. Your analogy of parents and their kids’ drug problems pales in comparison, unless their kid was operating a crack house in the parents home (their apartment, actually) and they said they didn’t know about anything like that going on… a crack house where money eschanged hands and they all sat around sampling the product for an hour or so before the transactions occurred.

d) You are also going to naively assume and at the same deride us for the notion that no one who was in on the prostitution ring never picked up a phone and tipped off Mr. Frank, a noted Congressman, that this was happening, not even once over a span of a full year and a half. This man Barney was pleading his case for his felonies and pulling strings for his parking tickets, and who he took to the White House for a bill signing. You are assuming no one called up Barney and warned him he was being duped.

So yo have come full circle. You first say Larry Craig gave out blow jobs in a bathroom that you have no evidence or even a charge that these things happened, you are called on that assumption, then you express disgust that anyone could have doubts about the bizarre circumstances surrounding Barney Frank’s willful ignorance and tell them to shut up unless THEY have proof that he didn’t know what was going on.

Just another liberal poster who screams about Republican hypocrisy who can’t imagine in his wildest dreams that he could ever be a hypocrite.

And I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt, and assume that you’re just a Republican’t hypocrite who is criminally insane.

From the reports of the time, Frank didn’t know care about any sort of prostitution going on in the house, and once he found out it became politically dangerous, he immediately got rid of the guy.

Prove it, or stop your hypocritical lying and assuming facts not in evidence.

How can you tell when Republican’ts are lying? Their vacuous pie-holes are open…

Would you like to continue playing the:

Name That Hypocritical Republican’s Sex-capades Game?

Republican leader Rush Limbaugh:

-> Attacked a 13 year old girl

He’s referring to when Limbaugh would insult Chelsea Clinton during the Clinton Administration.

Remember, since a Republican insulted a child nearly two decades ago, that means it’s perfectly alright for Democrats to attack children today.

And when a Democrat has an affair nearly two decades ago, and Republicans condemn him for it, it is perfectly alright for Democrats to condemn a Republican for it.

Take the lumps, move on, and keep it in your fucking pants GOP.

Also, did the notorious “Family” organization…

What the fuck is the “family” organization?

Republican leader Rush Limbaugh:

-> Attacked a 13 year old girl

Republicans Presidential Candidate John McCain:

->Insulted his second wife with the C*** word in public

Can you verify either of these allegations, News Reference?

You repeat them often enough, I’m guessing you must have something really solid.

Would you also hold Republican Senator Coburn complicit in paying the married women that Republican Senator Ensign was having the affair with?

Weren’t Republican Senator Ensign and Republican Senator Coburn roommates at the time?

There’s been a clear accusation that Republican Senator Coburn was clearly knowledgeable about Republican Senator’s affair.

There is also speculation that Republican Ensign used Republican Party (NRSC?) money to pay the women he was having his illicit affair.

How many other Republicans were complicit of concealing the affair and how many Republicans were complicit helping Republican Ensign pay the woman he was having the illicit affair?

Also, did the notorious “Family” organization know about the affair? There has been speculation that the townhouse that Republican Ensign and Republican Coburn were sharing was actually a “Family” property.

Were all of those people willfully ignorant of Republican Ensign’s affair?

Seriously? For the money that Republican Ensign was paying the woman it looks like it was a significant conspiracy that included Republican Senator Coburn, possibly the Republican Party’s National Republican Senatorial Committee, possibly the “Family”, with an assist by FOX to cover the whole thing up and warn Republican Ensign a storm was coming his way.

What a freaking laugh! A Newsbusters article? That noted bastion of impartiality?

If you paid attention you’d see that it’s a direct quote from Sam Donaldson’s report in World News Tonight from 25 August 1989. You could probably check the transcripts yourself if you like. Newsbusters might have their biases, but that doesn’t mean what they’re reporting isn’t correct.

From the reports of the time, Frank didn’t know care about any sort of prostitution going on in the house, and once he found out it became politically dangerous, he immediately got rid of the guy.

FIFY.

Quite honestly, I don’t give a rat’s ass what Frank said at the time. He could still deny it to this day for all I know. It’s not like anyone asks him. He was a mid 40 year old guy who invited a fucking prostitute to live with him. As Dennis points out, he was living in an apartment. I lived in that area of Massachusetts. Those are not large apartments. If Frank didn’t know what was going on, he was willfully ignorant or fucking retarded. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he was just ignorant.

Even then, any libertarians leading the Republican Party would likely have to pander to the social conservatives who want to legislate morality and use private failings as public floggings of their opponents.

In the meantime, I’ll accept the right wing’s duplicity and hypocrisy as something that may never change and so slowly add to my list of Republican hypocrites.

Since right winger “Dennis” feels compelled to trot out distractions to deflect from Republican Governor Mark Sanford’s obscene hypocrisy, here are some good old bullet points:

Republican Leaders = Bad For Women, Girls, and Children.

Republican leader Rush Limbaugh:

-> Attacked a 13 year old girl

-> Called any woman that spoke her mind a “Feminazi”

-> Alienated three ex-wives

-> Caught bringing illegal viagra back from a noted sex-tourist destination.

Republicans Presidential Candidate John McCain:

-> Attacked an underage girl

-> Betrayed his first wife

-> Abandoned her children

-> Bragged about his philandering

-> Insulted his second wife with the C*** word in public

-> Laughed when his female opponent was called the B**** word in public

Right wingers like “Dennis” don’t understand that it would be better for him to be quiet and not be known as a fool.

Personally I’m delighted to have right winger’s like “Dennis” illustrate the right wing’s coarse, hypocritical deceitfulness.

Keep talking, “Dennis”. Seriously. Keep talking.

Could you let that happen. An apartment. It’s not like a 28,000 s.f. John “Two Americas” Edwards house. It’s a freakin’ apartment.

“Oh, did you have a friend over today? I think he must’ve left some of his money on the coffee table here by mistake.”

What a freaking laugh! A Newsbusters article? That noted bastion of impartiality?

From the reports of the time, Frank didn’t know about any sort of prostitution going on in the house, and once he found out, he immediately got rid of the guy. Sounds like he didn’t allow it at all – once he knew what was going on, he immediately put a stop to it. Does he need one of those Minority Report psychics to tell him that a crime was going to be committed so he could pro-actively prevent it from happening?

Only in the fevered ravings of a Republican’t idiot would this be considered allowing a prostitution ring to be run out his house. If somebody’s kid is doing drugs, then they get caught and the drugs and/or the kid are tossed out of the house, in what way would that be allowing drugs into the house by them?

By that logic, Bush allowed Halliburton to install showers that electrocuted troops, allowed troops to rape their fellow soldiers, and allowed Republican’ts to illegally detain protesters. Is that what you really believe?

BTW, this should be a stellar lesson on trying to argue with Republican’ts. The dissembling, the hypocrisy, the smear and deflect – it’s all here, spelled out in black and white. There can be no debate with raving lunatics like these.
