Fox News Blog Edits Out Homophobic Barney Frank Joke From Transcript Of ‘Red Eye’ Host’s Monologue
In a “Greg-alogue” video posted today, Greg Gutfeld, the host of Fox News’ late-night show Red Eye, launched a frivolous attack on Center for American Progress President and CEO John Podesta. “If you believe in progressive ideas, you’ll believe in anything, including alien conspiracies,” said Gutfeld.
In the course of his mocking diatribe, Gutfeld also inserted an off-color, homophobic joke about Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA):
Look, I don’t dispute that aliens exist, but there are more urgent matters to deal with, other than wrinkly creatures with a knack for anal probing.
But enough about Barney Frank. I couldn’t resist.
Watch it:
Though the transcript of Gutfeld’s joke is included on the Red Eye website, FoxNews.com scrubbed it when it posted Gutfeld’s commentary on its Fox Forum blog. Instead, the blog posting has Gutfeld saying “wrinkly creatures with a knack for cavity searches”:
Conservatives have recently increased their use of homophobic jokes to attack Frank. On Fox last week, Dennis Miller and Bill O’Reilly joked that Frank “might want to be arrested.” The week before, right-wing radio host Lars Larson encouraged his listeners to vote for “Barney Fag.”

What is it about right-wingers and their obsession with Barney Frank's sex life?
It's almost like they're overcompensating or something.
November 18th, 2008 at 4:32 pmThe right side has very vivid and colorful dreams about being 'up close and personal' with Barney Frank. They pine away for him like a jilted ex-lover. The right side needs very comprehensive therapy if they are going to survive their obvious preference for the same sex. I have no problem with gays or anyone else for that matter - but the right side does. It seems they dearly want to go home with Barney Frank.
November 18th, 2008 at 4:38 pmIt is sad and pathetic what passes for conservative humor. Meanspirited, stupid, homophobic, morons allowing their brains to leak out like toxic waste and PRETENDING its funny. Alien conspiricies? Really? That was supposed to be funny? I get that ignoramuses like this seem OBLIGATED to take a homophobic shot whenever they can shoe horn one in but alien conspiricies? The guy needs to be asking if you want paper of plastic not given a venue to showcase his ignorance.
November 18th, 2008 at 4:39 pmAlways making jokes
November 18th, 2008 at 4:40 pmRight wing balances two thoughts:
Jesus and wieners
Good thing he didn't say a-nalysis on the Fox Forum blog. That would require moderation.

Dave Chappelle makes fun of African-Americans.
November 18th, 2008 at 4:48 pmMancia makes fun of Hispanics.
Sarah Silverman makes fun of Jews.
Greg Gutfeld makes fun of homosexuals.
When you put it that way, shoeless, I see your point.
November 18th, 2008 at 4:50 pmMust have wiped this from their memories:
But I'll bring it back for them.

What’s the problem?
Dave Chappelle's, African-American.

I have noticed that the more conservative men that I know seem to live in real fear of being (I hope this gets past the stupid TP filters) a n a l l y raped.
I mean, they really fear it, and they assume that every gay man on the planet is on the prowl for their next "victim". Not only that, they assume that every gay man would love to have sex with them, and some of these guys are so "not-handsome" that I'm surprised women have sex with them. Farm animals? No. But women? Yes.
November 18th, 2008 at 4:57 pmThe only people who make fun of "teh gay" are closet gays themselves, sort of trying to prove to themselves that they are "not teh gay" and there by, proving that they are indeed "teh gay".....
....just ask RupteredRectal about it, he proves his gayness everytime is posts here.
November 18th, 2008 at 4:59 pmSome argue that some or most homophobes are repressed homosexuals, but this argument is somewhat controversial. In 1996, a controlled study of 64 heterosexual men (half claimed to be homophobic by experience and self-reported orientation) at the University of Georgia found that men who were found to be homophobic (as measured by the Index of Homophobia)[27] were considerably more likely to experience more erectile responses when exposed to homoerotic images than non-homophobic men.

November 18th, 2008 at 5:01 pmHave pity upon the young Gutfeld
November 18th, 2008 at 5:09 pmFor by his own needs is he compelled
He yearns for the forbidden
But keeps his longings hidden
In hopes that they thereby be repelled.
You don't have to be Sigmund Freud to see--our friends on the Right are wrestling with their Inner Queer.

"Greg Gutfeld, the host of Fox News’ late-night show Red Eye,"
It's glaringly obvious the demographic this program targets. The 12 pack-plus slovenly overweight male who vows he's not a homosexual, he just wants to lay on top of you.
November 18th, 2008 at 5:14 pmIt has been almost an hour, where be our homophobe friends? Shouldn't they be here by now? Slackers!
November 18th, 2008 at 5:23 pmAre we absolutely sure Greg Gutfeld isn't the prom night spawn of Rush or Billo? I know it's hard to fathom, but both have cousins right?
Gutfeld having a ratings disaster that makes "Chimps that Attack Stuff Animals" on Spike TV look like a gold mine must make Rush look for the Oxy hookups whenever he channel surfs into that mess.

If they're subscribers to the Faux News e-mail newsletter, then they're getting the latest photos of Barney Frank being naughty. It's just Barney in his everyday life, but he's a tease because he's gay and Faux brings it to their readers and viewers like only they can!
November 18th, 2008 at 5:28 pmBarney Frank can take it. He has more class than a roomful of Dennis Millers. If all the right wing comedians have to offer are butt jokes then it's a sure thing that the conservative movement is dead.
November 18th, 2008 at 5:39 pmWow. This kind of lowbrow dimwittedness used to really make me angry. Funny how losing big in two elections in a row really detracts from these people's impact.
They just sound like losers, and angry losers at that. Nobody who matters is really listening to them now. That makes my day.
November 18th, 2008 at 5:41 pmConversation on the Street:
Gay Man: Hello Greg
November 18th, 2008 at 5:50 pmGreg: Hello, do I know you?
Gay Man: Nope (Swipes Greg upside the head.)
Greg: What did you do that for?
Gay Man: I couldn't resist smacking a homophobe.
And Republicans wonder why Americans are turning against them. People are sick of their childish, bigoted, hateful & hate-mongering behavior.
November 18th, 2008 at 5:51 pmdbadass, I too am surprised that neither Daryll nor bitblt has seen fit to weigh in on this critical issue yet.
November 18th, 2008 at 6:14 pmEvening ralph,
November 18th, 2008 at 6:19 pmI think bit might be figuring out how to explain why the cloud guy just doesn't see to it that Dobbie and crew get the money they need. For some reason bit has to get back to me on that one... I suggest bit just fall back on the ever popular and totally shit filled, "the lord works in mysterious ways". That one always works...
Greg Gutfeld, proving once again that the right lacks even an ounce of humor.
November 18th, 2008 at 6:51 pmIf the joke were about Larry Craig or Mark Foley, THEN it would be funny!
November 18th, 2008 at 6:53 pmThe reason this joke is not funny is because
1) the eerily overcompensating interest in gay sex, as ralph eluded to in post #1.
2) the mean spirited attack on Frank (calling him "wrinkly" and "creature" and paralleling it to forbidden pleasure).
3) the punchline (and joke) is totally irrelevant to the subject.
But, if it makes you feel any better Greg, I'm sure there is one closeted poster here who is probably laughing his arse off.
November 18th, 2008 at 7:11 pmParodyll the Failure, who himself has graphically described (word that shall not be posted but ends with *nal) sex between men more than once, and has yet to stay on topic.

November 18th, 2008 at 10:51 pmGreg Gutfeld gets insightful commentary for his show from the Gabrielle Tuite's of the world. I guess thought provoking commentary from a model on The Price is Right is par for the course on Faux News, no matter what time it is.

Dear Greg Gutfeld,
Barney Frank is taken!
Get your an@l probed by someone else, K?
.
November 19th, 2008 at 2:39 amWhen Greg Gutfeld was an editor for a certain men's magazine in London, he probably learned about a certain "probing" of his prostate as a turn-on. Now he carries his pleasure with disgust, as a true self-hater always does.
It's okay Greg...we'll accept you when you want to forgive yourself.
November 19th, 2008 at 2:49 amSome goofy guy on a stupid show that's on at midnight made a wise crack about Barney Frank. Liberals scream bloody murder!
Meanwhile.........some of those oh-so-tolerant free-thinking liberals were busy burning down Sarah Palins church.
I haven't seen that article on this site yet. Where could it be??? You people frequent a website that spews hatred towards those you already hate...yet you conveniently overlook the horrible things done by your fellow liberals.
So free thinking and tolerant!!!
