Barney Frank chastises conservative reporter on ‘don’t ask’ repeal

Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) turned the tables on a conservative reporter asking the scariest question he could think of now that “don’t ask, don’t tell” is repealed.

In an interview published by CNS News Wednesday, reporter Nicholas Ballasy tried to trap Frank by asking him about the dangers of gays and straights showering together.

“I have a question for you about the working group that Secretary Gates put into effect,” Ballasy began. “They recommended that straight military personnel will have to shower with homosexuals.”

“Showering with homosexuals!” Frank gasped sarcastically.

“What do you think happens in gyms all over America?” he asked the reporter. “What do you think happens in the House of Representatives. Of course people shower with homosexuals. What a silly issue. What do you think goes wrong when people shower with homosexuals? Do you think the spray makes it catching?”

“I mean, people shower with homosexuals in college dormitories, in gyms where people play sports, in gyms elsewhere. It is a complete non issue,” Frank added.

“So, that recommendation, you think is a non-issue?” Ballasy pressed.

“To accept the principle that homosexuals can’t shower with other people is a degree of discrimination that goes far beyond ['don't ask, don't tell']. We don’t get ourselves dry cleaned. We tend to take showers when we go to the gym, when we play sports. The notion that there’s somehow anything new, in the first place, about showering with homosexuals — remember under ‘don’t ask, don’t tell,’ by the way, the policy was that you would be showering with homosexuals, you just weren’t supposed to know which was which so there was no change in that. The notion that knowing someone is gay or lesbian as opposed to knowing there are gay and lesbian people there but you don’t know who they are, that that somehow makes a difference is pretty silly,” Frank said.

Ballasy wasn’t giving up his line of questioning. “And do you think if that is the case and they are — they must shower with each other, what do you think about female military personnel and male personnel, should they be able to?” he asked.

“Shower together? No. That would disrupt people,” Frank replied.

Then the Massachusetts congressman turned things around on the young reporter.

“Do you think that gyms should have separate showers for gay and straight people? I’m asking you the question because that’s the logic of what you’re telling me. You seem to think there’s something extraordinary about gay men showering together. Do you think that gyms should have separate showers for gay and straight people?” he asked.

“I’m just quoting the recommendation. I’m just quoting the recommendation,” Ballasy said defensively.

“Don’t be disingenuous. You’re quoting those that you think may cause some problems. You’re entitled to do that. But you shouldn’t hide behind your views. Rather talk about the difficulties. And I’m asking you, in response to that, do you think that there ought to be separate showers in gyms,” Frank said.

“If people don’t want to shower with gay people then they better not play sports, they better not belong to gyms, they better not go to colleges where not everybody has their own bathroom,” the congressman concluded.

While CNS News posted the entire interview, they spun their headline so Ballasey seemed to get the best of Frank. “Barney Frank: Straight Soldiers Must Shower With Gays, But Not Women With Men,” was their take.

Gawker saw it another way. “It really is amazing to watch the fearless and witty Frank completely dismantle an opponent,” they wrote. “The only thing that’s missing is him snapping his fingers and saying, ‘You got served!’”

    What happens when nothing happens? That’s the question that should be asked of every person who doesn’t support gay people serving openly in the military. What happens when, after all the crying and hyperbole about this destroying our military, everything turns out just fine? What happens when gay people come out of the closet in the armed services, almost no other service members care, and life goes on? Will all these people who are against it admit they were wrong? The answer is no, of course – unless we force them to. So ask the question: what happens when nothing happens?

  • http://www.websemiotics.com/ Comrade Seidl

    Nothing. The far right was hailing the imminence of the apocalypse even before Obama was elected, and now that he’s shown his true corporatist colors, their alarmism may have toned down a bit but they will never take back what they said in the form of public discourse. Ideology will not be dissuaded by facts.

    Oh, the little whisper campaign is starting to lose, and they will have to get louder.

    “You don’t want a heterosexual to have to be forced to shower with a homosexual”

    That little statement is hiding the small whisper, “they might either make you gay or do gay things to you”.

    Soon, the people who are trying to sound rationally anti-gay will just up and yell

    “OH GOD THEY ARE COMING TO RAPE ME AND TURN ME GAY!”

    …and when that happens, we can laugh them off and they can go join the white supremacists whose ideas fifty years ago were finally marginalized.

  • http://www.michaeledwardkelly.com Michael E. Kelly

    I suppose that my point though. Who’s out there forcing anyone to answer for their positions? When you’re wrong it should mean something, there should be a track record. People who are wrong over and over and over should stop getting airtime. The problem is that this doesn’t happen. The Sarah Palin’s and Mike Huckabee’s and Newt Gingriches keep on getting in front of a camera.

Hooray for Barney Frank for putting the ridiculous bastard in his well-deserved rat hole. What will these GOPee RePUKEs cum up with next? They’re obviously out to bring down our nation!

    I dunno, have the straight people shower together, and the gay people shower together. Would that solve the problem or make it worse? When I take a shower the primary thing on my mind is getting clean, and am I going to get athletes foot from the floor.

  • http://www.websemiotics.com/ Comrade Seidl

    I share your frustration, but in my view, the source problem isn’t the content of peoples’ arguments, but rather the logic underlying hegemonic public discourses. Rather than having conversations with one another, we engage in a series of combative scenarios that are sustained by false binaries, e.g. the left-right political spectrum that doesn’t typically acknowledge the inadequacy of political categories to represent the very people that they are trying to describe. As a communist, for instance, I do not feel obligated to endorse every opinion held by every leftist, and the same follows for a liberal, a libertarian, etc.–but if you listen to normative discourse, this is the sense you get of the way that people think: everything is black and white, everyone is extremist and hates one another, etc.

    In reality I don’t think that the mainstream media do a very good job of representing reality as it really is, and in a sense I don’t think that any of us can adequately grasp the totality of our socioeconomic reality. So, in other words, to have the kind of integrity and accountability that you’re talking about, I think we would need to radically alter the public conversation so that, instead of simply yelling at one another, we introduce a new element: listening. At the moment, I don’t think people are interested in actually hearing what the other side has to say. This, in my view, is also the source of most people’s frustration with politics: there is a severe lack of democratic input that leaves most of us excluded from both the conversation and the decision-making process. Thus, droves of people feel disenfranchised, pessimistic, cynical, etc. Listening sounds very simple, but to the contrary, I think it is a very radical idea, one that combative media outlets don’t want us to entertain.

    Barney Frank’s “Omigod!” faux reaction is priceless! At that moment, the little ass-wipe of a “reporter” was toast! Mr. Frank took him apart like a master mechanic disassembles an auto engine. Yes, Virginia, it’s true. Homosexuals get dry-cleaned. Now, with DADT repealed, I am sure the dry-cleaning industry will lobby to have DADT restored. I mean, non-dry-cleaned homos is bad for bizness.

    Does this reporter take his own personal shower with him wherever he goes? The irony is most homophobes are likely afraid of being in a shower with a gay man (or two or three) because THEN, THEY could be the “sex object” viewed as they view women. Frank dissected this idiot like a high school biology class frog.

    Barney, consider this:
    The concept of “Equal Rights For All” supports the repeal of the unconstitutional law of ‘don’t ask, don’t tell”.
    H O W E V E R,
    COMBAT TROOPS WILL ULTIMATELY MURDER THEIR OWN COMPATRIOTS AS FRIENDLY FIRE CASUALTIES WHEN THE TROOPS LEARN OF A GAY IN THE FOX HOLE.
    The implementation of this repeal has not been properly addressed and those who will suffer most are the gay troops in combat who innocently believe that they have equal rights in the military.They win the battle for equal rights, but they lose far more.

    Because like Victorianism modern conservatism is a sexually repressive ideology, so those who repress their sexuality find solace in a belief system that supports their view that sexuality should be repressed. Thus, conservatives are freed not only from questioning their own perverted self hatred of their sexuality, but they are ideologically reinforced in their perverted hatred of those who are free of the repression that they suffer from.

    Interesting strategy: let’s stop having stories about right wing douchebags because we all know they are douchebags already, but it would seem to me that this strategy would only be benefit douchebag Republicans.

    As long as we live in the United States of Amnesia, it seems to me that websites should post as many of these kinds of stories as they can lest people forget that Republicans are douchebags as a majority of the voters in the last election apparently did!

    Of course for those who believe that both parties are the same, then it would appear using your logic that all stories about douchebags should be discontinued because we would supposedly already know that both parties are equal in their respective douchebaggery and we don’t need to be reminded of any more douchebaggery at all.

    But then even though you rage against Democrats, especially Obama, at nearly every turn, I have never seen you say this same thing about stories informing us of Democratic douchebaggery, I wonder why that is!

    So Geral, what you are saying is that the chain of command in the US Military does not have any control over the actions taken by the Soldiers they command. Is that possible when we have the Best trained fighting force, they have all enlisted to protect the Consitution and know that their actions are to refect the directives of the chain of command. I know the stories of Vets from Nam who fragged asshole lieutenants because they were endangering their troops, but do you think that someone is going to reduce their collective trained force against the enemy because they are afraid that they will get urges to put someones dick in their mouths? I would think that our soldiers want to have top quality comrades around them. They are after all under fire and if someone has completed the training necessary to be in combat they are an asset to staying alive.

    All this other crap is because we do not have the best and brightest in the armed services anymore. We have a huge jobs program being filled by anyone who can not make it in our current economy. Test scores required have been reduced, personal behavior background requirements have been reduced and these kids are being used until they have lost any ability to put what they are doing in the field together with how an American is supposed to be.

    If someone would kill a fellow American, they are the same ones who are killing kids who look different and have been dehumanized by the command that they are serving under. You can not seperate and have only those serve who are less than qualified to make decissions in the field.

    Well I guess you can actually, that is what we have now. Our real forces being used by those that are conducting our military plans are private mercenaries made up of ex-special forces and international derelicks. Ahhhh, it makes me so proud to be an American.

    Not all wingnuts are repressed. Some of them are completely debauched, like this guy: http://pandagon.blogsome.com/2007/10/09/falwell-colleague-dies-getting-his-autoerotic-rubber-kink-on/
    They’re just world-class hypocrites.

    all this would make a real conservative like William F. Buckly Jr. cringe. In his day it took intellegence and comprehension of the big world we live in to consider yourself conservative.

    Now it just means you are sheeple with many talking points

    Well if the Media Research Center says our corporate owned media is Left wing then it must be true.

    After all their tag line says what they say is the real truth and why would anyone want to cast doubt on a media that is owned by military manufacturers, foriegn interests and follow the directives of one political party. They say they are left-wing commie bastards, therefore that is the way it is.

    No one would want to distract the American public from the fact that we are broke, uneduacated, have a very poor health care system and no longer have the protections of the Constitution. Why would anyone want to distract us. Aren’t we all Americans first. Can’t We All Just Get Along?

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    as a combat vet i have to say that your foxhole fear was a patently absurd comment – those of us who have been “in a foxhole” know we want nothing to happen to the guy next to us – we want everyone healthy enough to keep on shooting because my life depends on it!

    “friendly fire” happens in the confusion and fear of battle – “fragging” happens when leaders care more about their own career promotions than the lives of those they lead – “fratricide” or murder is what can happen when out on patrols with your brothers in arms as a means to get rid of a troublesome member or when politically expedient, like Private First Class Tillman, who had begun to question and make noises against what the USA was doing to Afghanistan.

    there are examples around the world of straight and gay military units working together to accomplish the mission. i don’t think that gay military members will suddenly start behaving with in your face challenges to straight members at all. they are in the military by choice and know what the military is about – if asked most won’t tell – some will – and for some it will be too tough to continue – but at least disclosure or exposure won’t mean an automatic discharge. there may be a temporary surge in unit transfers, but techniques for the effective redress of homophobia will develop.

    did you notice that lead-in to the video claiming that they prove the media has a liberal bias every day … ?

    was that a gag? because the only thing somewhat liberal, in that it showed common sense, about that cns report was barney frank.

    This is so ridiculous. The reporter acts like he thinks the sergeants call “Shower time!” and everybody goes running in to splash together and wash each others’ backs. And the reporter-Ballsy-acts like it’s this big opportunity: Should they be able to…? I’m sorry but I really think he was panting.

    The guy had one question for Frank. Beyond that, he had nothing to say and didn’t know enough to STFU. My father used to remind us to keep quiet rather than remove all doubt and someone should pass that along to mr. news reporter.

    Don’t the conservatives realise that “Don’t ask don’t tell”means that they could be sharing showers with real GAYMOSEXUALS and NOT KNOW IT!

    I think Evangelical churches should issue tight controlling underwear in Patriotic colours to ensure that Innocent Jesus Loving Soldier boys are not ‘put to embarrassment’ by the presence of KNOWN evil godless GAY HOMO QUEERS.

    I have written to Fox News and asked for them to prepare a special report to be delivered by Governor Huckabee on how to protect YOUR SON from QUEERMOSEXUALS.Friends of mine from Arkansas testify to his experience in dealing with ‘at risk’ sons.

    PRAISE JESUS!

    Absolutely.Soldiers need very tight underwear ,perhaps in patent leather or rubber, and inscribed with appropriate versus from Leviticus or Romans (ask your Pastor for these) and decorated with patriotic pictures.

    I would suggest Washington crossing the Delaware or a print of Betsy Ross sewing Flags.

    I am commissioning a set with a picture of General McAuliffe at Bastogne on the front .He is striking a very manly heterosexual pose in a tight uniform and his famous exclamation ‘NUTS” ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_McAuliffe)is emblazoned in large manly letters across the lower front.

    I support the repeal of DADT. But I think the issue here is that some soldiers might be uncomfortable showering with a man whom which they are aware is sexually attracted to other men.

    I don’t know why this can’t be discussed rationally, and Frank was certainly not interested in addressing that question.

    What kind of individuals does he think makes up most of our Armed Forces? This is a legitimate issue that, when discussed, unfortunately brings up comparisons to Hitler or white supremacists. That’s both silly and depressing.

    At some point in time one should expect that a soldier can control him/her self. If one cannot control one’s sexuality in a shower, cannot arrest fretting over whether someone is looking at their reproductive organs then how can that person be expected to maintain control in the thick of battle? Are American soldiers so hazardously out of control?

    Get the cops to spank unruly gay men! Clearly we need a rapid reaction force on motorcycles that would react immediately to any reports of Queer behavior.

    If those girlyboys knew that such actions would lead to leather clad bike cops knocking down their door and demanding that they drop their pants and ‘assume the position’ befopre administering a bare butt ass whuppin’ then they would think twice!

    What’s with the “conservative reporter” line? Ballasy gives no indication of being conservative. Right wing assholes just adopt the label in a flimsy attempt to give themselves some respectability–usually without any success. Ballasy shows himself to be a gay-hating, arrogant right wing fool. For that matter, maybe he’s still in the closet himself–his short hair would fit right in on Commercial Street in Provincetown in the summer. Just because his tie is straight doesn’t make him conservative. Lenin’s tie was straight, too.

    Don’t know where you did your service. Mine was Nam and we didn’t give a fuck who was gay. It was a non-issue. The only people gettin’ fragged were idiot 2nd louies that were tryin’ to get us killed. as it should be.

    Q. Molesting young nephews?It’s you who wants to beat young boys not me?
    A. 75% of gay men have or will molested a young boy in their life. Fact.

    Reply: And of course you have proof for this statement.Link please.

    Q.Why do you assume that I am NOT monogamous?
    A. Gay men will copulate with just about anyone or anything, willing or not. Commitments to other gay men mean little as most gay men are dominated by their baser instincts.

    Reply: Apart from that being absurd generally I am not a Gay man.I am straight.I have Gay friends and they don’t come on to me as they know I am straight.I am married.I am quite monogamous.Many Gay friends of mine are in stable monogamous relationships.

    Q. Why do you assume that I am attracted to males?
    A. I suppose you might not be but your stance on this topic suggests otherwise. if you are not then you are still an enabler which is even worse. Gays are the plague but you are the rat that is spreading it.

    Reply: My stance is to ridicule homophobia.As for being an ‘enabler’ I would love to know how.I don’t host coming out parties or own a gay night club.

    Q. Why do you assume I have any contact with AIDS?
    A. You either are gay or have plenty of gay friends I would assume. Gays have been punished for their disgusting acts, not by god, but by nature with hiv. Exposure to gays is exposure to hiv.

    I do have plenty of Gay friends.HIV affects Gay and Straight people.Most people with AIDS in the world are straight people.

    Q. Why are you so obsessed with physical punishment?
    A. I don’t follow you. I brought up the fact that you can’t spank a child these days without getting into trouble and how that is a big factor when it comes to the disease that is homosexuality. I only brought it up once I think so I’m not sure why you would even ask this.

    That is patently absurd.Homosexuality is not learned behaviour any more than Heterosexuality is.I am straight and cannot chose to be gay any more than gay men can chose to be straight.The idea of using physical violence on a child to try and ‘correct’ something that is not under their control is abhorrent and,frankly,torture.Using violence to correct children is lazy and counter productive.Science shows that homosexuality in males is started in the womb.

    Q. Why do you care what people do when it has no bearing on your life?
    A. The degeneration of decency, values and morals in society today has a very big impact on my life, my children’s lives and everyone else for that matter. Why wouldn’t

    Reply: Letting gay people live decent lives free from bigotry is in the interest of all of us.Gay men make incredible contributions to all of our lives.

    I am really worried about you. I think you need help because you seem to have a compulsive obsessive attitude towards gay people and bestiality.

    Some statistic I just made up says that 53% of men like you go on to be serial killers.

    Ignorance is a choice, Thor Halland, and your choice to be one of the most ignorant people I’ve seen in print is SO evident!

    Shakespeare said; “Methinks he protesteth too much!” And given all the “facts” that you cite about pedophiles…you kinda have that look of a pedophile, too.
