O'Reilly Factor: Dennis Miller's Homophobic Joke About Barney Frank

Huffington Post | Nicholas Graham | November 12, 2008 08:54 PM

Dennis Miller appeared on The O'Reilly Factor tonight (Miller is a frequent guest on Bill O'Reilly's show) and went on a rant regarding what Barack Obama should do to the executives of AIG when he takes office, namely, that Obama "should flatten these punks" and "come down hard on them." After Miller finished his rant, O'Reilly chimed in that Obama's next move should be "to arrest Barney Frank, correct?" Miller replies, "Eh, Barney might want to be arrested." (Italics mine)

It seems to us that Frank, the most prominent openly-gay member of the House of Representatives, is being slurred by Miller for his homosexuality. The reactions of O'Reilly and Miller confirm that Miller's joke was inappropriate, to say the least. Watch and judge for yourself.

1. Miller's assholism gets worse all the time.

[BeamMeUpScotty0086]

2. Ya know, he actually used to be funny. n/t

[JJ]

5. When was Dennis Miller ever funny?

Never that I can recall. He may have read a few funny bits on SNL that someone else wrote.

[zehnkatzen]

9. I respectfully disagree. He was teh_funnay when he was on SNL.

I enjoyed the hell out his Weekend Update. Enough broad humor to satisfy the punters but enough abstruse references to keep the eggheads satisfied, with his trademark sarcasm all over the place. He was LOL funny then.

As soon as Bush came into his own and DM got all wet over him though, he let his inner conservative out. And his inner douchebag too.

[JimboBillyBubbaBob]

14. What?

When was he ever funny? His schtick always seemed about 2/3s full.

[Tutonic]

3. Dennis Miller--worst person in the world!!!!! Your welcome Keith.

[Hulk]

4. Miller is so full of himself.....HE should be arrested...

...I'd pay to see that jack ass get saddlebagged...or whatever the term is. What a washed up sack of right wing shit.

[Divine Discontent]

6. I don't EVEN want to know the sexual kinks & fetishes of these two....

they got a lot of room to talk (not), because they both come across as nasty uncaring pervos who hire prostitutes like Cher goes through wardrobes at a concert!

nasty swine.

[SlingBlade]

7. Millers an Ass Clown

[4lbs]

8. He was a pretty decent comedian before Bush took office. I actually got his arcane historical

references in his high-brow humor.

However, after Bush took office, Dennis Miller "switched" to the dark side and fully supported Bush/Cheney and the neo-cons. He's never looked back.

[zehnkatzen]

10. Oh my Ghod! Such rich humor!

Oh, please stop! Jokes about man rape in prison, oh my sides!

:sarcasm: I mean, nobody's EVER thought of that one before! :sarcasm:

That's why DM gets invited to be on TV all the time and has is own radio show 'n' stuff!

[ArrowMan]

22. Well thanks, now I know why that's so funny for them. I mean, what can be funnier

than condoning rape between men who are locked up. And the thought of Barney getting raped and just loving it is, well, hilarious. :sarcasm: If I were Barney, I would sue. I wish some group who's mission is to rid prisons from sodomists would sue them on Barney's behalf. Remember those jolly pranksters in The Shawshank Redemption? Oh, it just doesn't get any funnier that? :sarcasm:

[The Wizard]

11. He was good before

becoming a country and western comic. His career is over, and the audience he now appeals to doesn't require thoughtful humor or irony or satire. Very juvenile indeed. Does he have scabs on his knuckles yet?

[trungpa ricochet]

12. The Fear Factor

After 9/11, Dennis Miller completely lost his mind. He was scared shitless and made no bones about it. The way he immediately changed his worldview and his persona seemed way over the top, maybe because the attacks triggered something relating to his early personal life. I think Miller has one of the fastest wits around. It's incongruous that he would destroy his career with such bile and reactionary bullshit. He should have sought professional help instead of resurfacing as a paranoid crypto-fascist.

Stick a fork in him...he is done.:scared: :thumbsdown:

[snort]

21. beat me to it

the fear factor happened to a whole lot of people. miller is one of the more visible examples. in a word: COWARDS.
these people sold out because they were/are afraid. wahh keep me safe at any cost. asshole.

[xxqqqzme]

24. You're right. I think he still had his HBO show then.

I remember watching him w/ hitchens as his guest. He was agreeing w/ everything hitchens said. then he went into a nasty anti-immigrant rant. I remember wondering, who watches your kids, prepares your meals, manicures your lawn? Last time I watched him it was so disgusting.

[Crowman1979]

13. Where is Norm McDonald when you need him?

Norm was better than this GOP clown on "Weekend Update" IMO.

[DemRob]

15. Miller = irrelevant

[Pharaoh]

16. Obama should come down hard on AIG?

Don't these fuckwads know that the mighty Bush is still in charge? Why the fuck do they not say Bush should come down hard on AIG? It boggles the mind the way these people think :shrug:

[DeepBlueDem]

17. Dennis Miller sucks ass. I couldnt stand to watch MNF b/c of him

[AlexDeLarge]

18. Thou does

protest too much, Dennis. I find it fascinating how so many of the Repugnant homophobes turn out to be gay.

[AlbertCat]

23. Archaic grammar alert!

"thou" means "you", y'know. Would you say "You does protest....."? C'mon! It's that "th" suffix you're looking for. "Doth". Thou doth. Thou goeth. Thou typeth. Y'know! (Th'knoweth?) Sorry, but I can't help it. Personally, I love the "formal" you, thou.

Oh, and BTW, all grammar aside, Dennis does protest too much.....and talk too much. and breathe too much.

And he was never funny. Amusing occasionally, but out & out funny? Nope.

[cowperc]

19. it's bad when...

O'Reilly doesn't want to comment. ouch...

[newmac]

20. Always mad at the wrong people

Now they are trying to blame the economic crisis on a "fag" and the lost election on "Acorn".
Look in the mirror; freaks.
