Barney Frank is the new scapegoat for Republicans seeking to shift the blame for the current economic meltdown. Fine, let's see how that flies. And, of course, they have dredged up the putrid corpse of Joe McCarthy, accusing Obama of being a Marxist/socialist. Not so fine. But now Sarah Palin, the purveyor of hate, has added her special brand of gaybaiting to the mix, and combines the three into one smearaganza.
The Hill:
McCain’s running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, said Saturday that an Obama presidency combined with Democratic control of Congress would lead to bigger government.
"Now they do this in other countries where the people are not free -- government as part of the family, taking care of us, making decisions for us," she said during a rally in Sioux City, Iowa. "I don’t know what to think of having in my family Uncle Barney Frank or others to make decisions for me."
