On Monday, Massachusetts congressman Barney Frank announced that he will not seek reelection next year, and American Family Association spokesman Bryan Fischer decided to celebrate Frank’s retirement by attacking the congressman for being gay.
On Focal Point yesterday, Fischer claimed that Frank may have used his prominent position to “influence” other men into becoming gay who may have later contracted AIDS. “This is a dangerous, risky, immoral, unhealthy lifestyle, and Barney Frank has been an open practitioner of a lifestyle that is condemning one young man after another to an early grave,” Fischer said, “this is not somebody to admire, this is not somebody to honor.”
Fischer went on to say that Frank “modeled a lifestyle which is really a death-style,” wondering, “Who knows how many people were drawn or encouraged in some way by Barney Frank’s example to dabble in a lifestyle that eventually cost them their health and maybe even cost them their lives.”

How many people have been drawn towards hatred and violence because of assholes like Bryan Fischer?
wtf!! people like this scare me
what a cheapshot
how rude and inconsiderate to stay quiet until the person your going after quits and then go after them thats just not right!
Wow, that’s classy. Douche.
sometimes it’s REALLY hard to remember to not harbor the same level of hate in my heart that some of these ignorant people have… NO H8 is easy to say but hard to live when you want to smack the taste out of someone’s mouth for saying such ignorant things. i’m going to see if Bryan Fischer has a facebook page and if he does I’m posting the same link i put up on Westboro Baptist Church’s wall…Lady Gaga’s video “Born This Way”…Bryan Fischer, put your paws up! And I’d like to thank Barney Frank for his years of service and his courage to serve as an openly gay Man. LGBTQ Nation ROCKS!
I wonder how many kids killed themselves after hearing the right-wing’s opinions and ideas the LGBT community?
Bryan Fisher, your an ignorant butthole! get a life!
Ugh…I’m sooooooo sick of this fucking moronic bigoted asshole. I wish someone would just lock him up in a mental ward and throw away the damn key!
oh lord!!! here we all go jumping on the victim bandwagon again……all of you need to grow the fuck up!!! why is it ok for YOU to bash this fischer creep, but not for him to bash gays????????? what makes any of you any different from him???? NOTHING hate is hate and you are spewing just as much of it as he is!!
Bryan Fischer has sex with rentboys. Or is pimping out his wife. Or has a bestiality-watersports fetish. Or something. If Ted Haggert, David Vitter, Marcus Bachmann, Roberto Arango, George Reckers, Mark Sanford, Micheal Duval, Newt Gingrich, Herman Cain, and all those folks have taught us one thing, it’s that people who say this shit have A LOT to hide.
Well I think this guy needs to wake up in the real world and accualy understand what aids is. Also even understand what it is to be gay. Why do we give these people the time of day and get all mad. He reminds me of my grandpa whos a bigot stuck in the 1940s. The more we ignore and move on from these buffoons the better the world will be.
What I wonder is how many people Barney Frank inspired to live an open, honest life. I’ll bet the number is huge. The problem with what this bigoted, evil man is saying is that a large number of people will hear it and be led into thinking that being gay is “just a lifestyle CHOICE”, instead of understanding that we, like them, had no more choice in the matter than we did our eye color.
Ugh. Lifestyle? Deathstyle? I seriously dislike this man.
What an idiot!
Hmm. He’s most likely in denial that heterosexuals have contracted the HIV/AIDs virus, as well as being a complete and utter ignorant hate-monger. I’d like to hear his explanation for that one. Seeing as how, you know, gays tend to be involved with other gays. Oh, wait. I know. Someone was turned from the path of righteousness by those blaspheming queers, contracted such an awful, deadly disease, and then was brought back to God’s ‘loving’ embrace, thus proving that one should always curb ones lusty, sinful nature or else God will punish you just the same as those damnable homosexuals.

How many kids today are choosing to end their own lives because of assclowns like Bryan Fischer, and other assclowns like him, who teach kids to hate those who are not “normal” by Bryan Fischer’s f’ed up standards or morals?????
Idiot!
what a ridiculous statement…sounds like he’s worried he’s already “infected”
Miss fischer needs her sugar checked.
How many people of all orientations have died because of Ronald Reagan’s “gag-order” on HIV/AIDS prevention information?
This just breaks my heart,they’re sending this message to our youth too!that are committing suicide,at an all time high!I went to an all boys conservative catholic school where I was bullied every day because of what I was presumed to be & well was.It was because of hateful men Like these that fuel our youth to bully & tease kids Like me.when will this ever stop?/;
@Paul- you said it!
People like this are the reason we have no gay elders. Because they dont take this disease seriously as an epidemic and instead secretly hope it will exterminate a minority they are afraid of. This man hides his violence behind a veneer of concern. Watch Philadelphia you fucker.
I say we ignore his ass and see what he does. We cant fight hate with hate. I wont stup as low as this guy…
If you haven’t seen “Common Threads: Stories from the Quilt,” put it in your Netflix queue. It’s excruciating to see Reagan refuse to deal, or even acknowledge, HIV/AIDS. Or the people who were suffering from it.
I’m not sure what’s worse — people who say such things or people who buy into it. Remember, Hitler made sense to a lot of people in his time.
what a dickhead
Funny, I’ve been thinking of a different question. How many men have died because of Bryan Fischer.
I’m so f*cking sick of these right wing “Christian” douche bags preaching their HATE! GLASS HOUSES!
Oh please! What an utter ASSMONKEY! Barney Frank was and is and always will be an incredible politician who will not take crap from any one in politics. Go Him! I can’t wait to hear what he will say after he officialy leaves political office.
How many normal people have been made to suffer and die at the hands of fucking religious morons the last few thousand years, can you answer that Asshole Fischer?
I just can’t believe such hate still exists. Whether he agreed or disagreed with his lifestyle a heartfelt congratulations to him for working and being able to retire. People are so evil. So very evil in their thoughts and ways of thinking. It more than dissapoints me. It disgusts me.
I dont need anyones encouragement to act on the feelings of my heart.
I wonder how many people died of AIDS because of uninformed bigots like this? it’s because of people like him that AIDS was called GRIT for so long, its because of bigots that it was stigmatized and research was cut because it was an effect of an ‘immoral’ lifestyle. Whenever I read an article like this I have to check the date because I’m in disbelief that it was published in this decade.
Oh fuck……It never stops these idiots!!!!
What an idiot!
that’s just sick!
Is there no end to this Reich Wing “Christian” Bull Shit??? It’s like an Ever-Ready Battery..it just keeps going and going and going…..
The AFA…one of the deadliest organizations in the world.
Here’s your crown, King of Assholes. What a TOAD. What a bigoted toad.
Evil incarnate … Fischer not Frank.
Total douche bag! I hate cowards! Fischer is just another right wing bull shit artist.
Fischer- what an ignorant hate monger. He is not an educator. He spreads support to other haters like himself. Educated caring people can follow their own <3.
I’m guessing ZERO!!!
This guy is so full of shit that his eyes MUST be brown!
