  • TULIPS!? That bubble CAN be traced back to big stupid Govt. interference.

    .

    Frank is a criminal and a LIAR , PERIOD.

    .

    He makes Bernie Madoff look like a SAINT !

    .

    So, wrecking the economy, insider trading, racketeering and influencing peddling, COMPLETELY LEGAL FOR THE LIKES OF FRANK AND OTHER POLITICIANS, illegal for you. YOU would go to jail, they retire and get whitewashed by the press.

  • wow this idiot is still sitting as a chairman

  • How can we say that the Republicans were "ordering" Fannie and Freddy to increase subprime lending when the vast majority of videos on YouTube clearly show Republicans trying to investigate and limit the amount of subprime lending.

    Many videos clearly show Frank and that idiot Maxine Waters begging and pleading for less regulation. This is of course so that they can further the hippie liberal agenda of giving homes to people who have not earned the ability and are unqualified to repay a loan.

  • "Distribute it more fairly" via the Affordable Housing Fund. When comrade Barney says "Distribute it more fairly via the Affordable Housing Fund", what he's really saying is that he's all for giving loads of cash to people that are unqualified, and more than likely will default on the loans,...when that happens (and did happen) the American taxpayers will be stuck with the bill, when the Socialist Dem's "bail out" Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

    Barney Frank is a fool and a fraud.

  • I am hunting for wabbits!

  • ...SEWWYY PIG !!....SEWY!!!! ....This RUMP RANGER BASTARD ISN'T WORTH THE GUN POWDER IT WOULD TAKE TO BLOW HIS LIBERAL FAG ASS TO HELL !!!

  • What a jack ass. He was the one to wright the laws that cause this mess then he denies it.

  • If I was rich I would put out a 100,000 reward for someone to bitch slap this douchebag in the face.

  • @rdbn25 A $20 bill would be more than enough. LOL

  • Methinks this video will be suppressed by the MSM, except maybe Fox News.

  • Barney Frank is nothing more than a TROLL! Someone send his ass back to his cave.

  • Yes. Were stupid! We have a most polarize public that is confused by the politicians that are economists and the new & old media. IT will have to get really bad. Before the polarize public thinks. That there Rep's on both sides are NOT scared or YOU. They have a jobs when they leave and when they come back in with-in the LARGE Corp's. Vote for NO D or a R. Please! Barney is a word smith and a good one to! But if you can't see his Bull. Your 90% of the confused polarize public. Sorry your it.

  • the housing crisis was created intentionally by the bankers and hedgefund managers.

    They made billions off of it. The banks lost billions but the bankers that ran them made billions off of commissions selling fraudulent products, the hedgefunds bet against the banks fraudulent products and also made billions.

    Barney Frank is a well meaning dupe and if you think he was even close to powerful enough to have done this by his self, you are seriously overestimating him.

  • Why is the video all cut up? Not the original c-span footage. Just clips and text to attempt illustrate points.  Spin. Spin. Spin. Welcome to American politics.

  • @Bigbird5553 Uhh...maybe because this isn't CSPAN? Go watch the full thing there if you want to.

  • @morgenr My point is that it's a chopped up video to frame information in a certain light. In other words manipulation.

  • @morgenr

    Six words, dude:

    Selective Editing is a logical falacy.

  • @morgenr Ummm...It says C-span 2. You took C-span footage and chopped it up so everything loses it's context.

    I bet I could make a video that showed Ron Paul supporting big government. He talks a lot about big government, so the clips are there. Unfortunately, unlike you, I'm too intellectually honest to stoop to such chicanery.

  • @afterapplepicking

    you can see the full context by doing a youtube search for the clip :

    Barney Frank What Housing Bubble

    then you'll see what a liar he is. he's just out to collect lobby fees from banks and pull wool over the eyes of the idiots voting for him.

  • @afterapplepicking It's, as Hillary would say, "A vast right wing conspiracy". LMAO.

    "I'M FROM THE GOVERNMENT AND I'M HERE TO HELP YOU!!"

    You Moonbat liberal's are funny; dumb as rocks, but funny.

  • @Dealit707 Yeah, very substantive arguments. Bravo, genius.

  • Wow he is an idiot.

  • More proof that politicians spew horse crap out of their mouths at every turn. Both party bent the country over...

  • hard to believe people keep believing and voting for this Real Life "Tea Bagger" cock sucking loser, politics is so far out of the realms of believability at any level.

    I give this country 100 more years, if that, and it will be back to a war between the classes.

  • 2:18 onwards - wow. Just .... wow

  • TERM LIMITS !

  • Barny's motivation was NOT housing; his motivation was a BLOW-JOB from his boyfriend!

  • @MsWanderer1 He like young boys like the Capitol Pages. But everyone forgot about that

  • Mentally deficient traitorous shitbag. Wonder how many times he's had anus reconstruction surgery on the taxpayers dime.

  • Do all gay men "tip-toe through tulips"? And ho

  • This lady scares me more than an undead clown under my bed...

  • Housing is overpriced...but it's not a bubble. This guy is a bubble-head.

  • They Really Do believe because people have been trusting them, then people are Stupet?!?

  • Rep. Barney Frank epitomizes what is wrong with our Government and Washington D.C. It's time to get them out of power and send them packing back to there Districts. We need new representatives and term limits.. Barney Frank is like a bad virus that needs to be eradicated.

  • What a complete Moron! Pretty scary that people like this fool have any power over anyone else's lives.

  • @PecosMtJeff Why is he a moron? Because he didn't forsee how devastating the recession / housing bubble crisis would become? Very few people forsaw that, that hardly makes him a moron or incompetent.

    The Republicans were also in charge of Congress for a long period while this was all building up, and they were in the White House for 8 years prior to the crash. If they had a clue about what was going to happen, they would have done something about it.

  • khổng Tú Quỳnh thay đồ diễn bị chụp lén ( ảnh nóng)====chỉ có tại==> Vip2T . COM

  • wow hes really kissing my ass. Is he behind in polls this election or what?

  • Personally, I like politicians who can communicate everything they need to in short, simple words that are straight to the point. I dislike politicians who compare "exuberant irrationalities to irrational exuberance" to make themselves sound like they know what they're talking about.

  • BAFOON is a compliment!

  • retarded republican morons think barney frank destroyed the economy

    bill o reilly and rush limbaugh have brainwashed you morons well

    now please kill yourselves for the sake of america

  • @HateRepublicans It's amazing how your post lacks any form of intelligent response. You are a cool aid drinker and a fool; you refuse to look past the prism of your own politics and recognize that your apparent hero, Barney Frank, is a liar. Don't attack others who point out another person's blatant lies, instead try to defend why he lied and then maybe your comments will resemble some form of rational thought.

  • @Admiral605 intelligent response

    How do you respond intelligently to morons

    Republicans are morons

    Bill O Reilly has all of you brainwashed

    I would like to hear a Republican tell me what this video means or how Barney Frank Destroyed the economy

    Republicans are stupid

    you can not argue or talk to stupid

    you have to talk at their level

  • @HateRepublicans Frank has been caught multiple times lying and that is why my previous post stands true...you are a cool aid drinker. If Frank shot 15 people in a shopping mall you would find some way to justify his actions. If Bush was speaking in this video you would be calling for his head on a pike; that is what I meant by looking past the prism of your own politics. Now to prove your theory false; I responded intelligently to your post.

  • @Admiral605 what did he lie about

    can you explain this video

    I know Rush Limbaugh talks about Barney Frank and Fannie Mae and tells all you people that he is the reason for how the economy is destroyed

    But can some Republican explain to me what they are watching in this video and how Barney Frank destroyed the economy

    I can tell you how Reagan and Bush destroyed the economy

  • @HateRepublicans In 2005 Frank, on the house floor stated, "those of us on our committee in particular....will continue to push for home ownership." Then in 2009 Frank said, "...one of the causes of the terrible crisis ...it came from people being pushed into buying houses..." Then again in 2009 he blamed republicans for pushing people into home ownership and that he had supported rental housing since the beginning. Do you not see the lie? He denies the existence of the "bubble" he created.

  • @Admiral605 so how did he destroy the economy, how did he create the bubble

    Rush Limbaugh and Bill O Reilly have done an excellent job on you people

  • @HateRepublicans lol @ the democrat hell bent on blaming republicans, gotta love the dumbass political party slaves like you

  • retarded republicans dont know what this video means

  • I guess he was quite wrong.

  • We need to make economics a mandatory course for congressman and senators, asap.

  • Im watching this again and again and this guy becomes more and more stupid....these ideas wrecked the whole economy, I mean the level of imbecility is unbelievable...

  • pure idiot

  • Barney makes a conscious effort to Deni the truth as often as needed. I think he believe's his own bull. The damage he alone has done to our economy is staggering!

  • These comments clearly show Barney's lack of connection to reality.

  • why are Americans continuing to vote for this idiot?

  • @staciepaul because americans are gays

  • @catalinaguerrero no the people of massachusetts are gay

  • No talk of market distortion via cheap money from the Gay Santa.....and he's charmain of the FSC...mind boggling.

  • did he just compare the price of a house to a tulip?

  • i heard he can't speak on the floor because he ran a male whore house and that he REALLY IS a homosexual. He did horrible sex acts with men so they won't allow him to speak on the House/Senate floor. I dunno that's just what i heard.

  • A few speculators.

    FUCK YOU FATMAN.

    You take joy in my families hardship?

    God damn democrat cocksucker, I hope you die of AIDS.

  • when i hear him talk i think of pooh bear....lol

  • this maggot derserves the same Obama will get.......free America from these monsters

  • I didn't know elmer fud was a politician ?

  • piece of shit

  • @steverooni99 I love smoking a big fat dick. So, don't see that as an insult.....nothing wrong with smoking a dick. You clit licker!

  • Barney Frankenfurter: #1 bankruptcy perpetrator preying on hard working Americans WHO PAY TAXES and EARN their way. The Communist Central Committee lives on under his sway.

  • @adamitshelanu And the matxist have race baited to help gain their footing in this country, and the fools bought into it.

  • @adamitshelanu And the marxist have race baited to help gain their footing in this country, and the fools bought into it.

  • okay, you guys need to make up your mind. either you like absense of regulation and limited government or you want government regulation of the markets. either you want the market to regulate itself or have the government regulate it. do not go around blaming the democrats and republicans for not doing anything to stop the recession at the same time you call for smaller government in washington.

  • @avalsonline it's a false choice. markets don't self regulate. when they do, it's because the market is fresh. when the market wears down, it can't self regulate.

  • Get this faggot out of office!!!

  • He sounds like he has a mouth full of semen.

  • @sped2001 Herpes

  • This is a so liberal dumboctat take on things. To make is so easy to lend that people borrowed who had no business borrowing money and could never pay it back. And look this no good liberal got us into one of the worst housing defaults and banking scare that we also most slipped into a depression. She what happens when liberals run things, look at Cal they are dying on the vine..

  • I never understood how politicians are qualified to be economists once elected....its mind boggling how much stupidity these guys have with regards to finance.

  • @mikez565 And he sucks cock

  • @mikez565 or people not in politics commenting on how policitians do their job right? lol

  • @mikez565 Most of these fools, once elected, instead of maintaining the status quo (within reason), suddenly become overnight experts on everything; banking, automaking, economics, big and small business, etc., etc..

    Most of them are slaves to poll numbers and don't have the common sense of a pile of day old dog shit.

  • UNREAL................he knew exactly what was going to happen. How can this fag still be in a position of power. REVOLT PEOPLE! GO AFTER THESE CROOKS!

  • And this is what this country has to offer the american people???

    The government thinks they should run even more things with leaders like this Barney guy?????

    Jesus, no wonder America has been going through the tubes lately.

  • @revizcaino It's because of the republicans fuck ups. lol no one believes otherwise.

  • @Bigbird5553

    Yeah and Obama is adding more to it.....

    I thought he was gonna "fix* everything....

  • @revizcaino right just by snapping his fingers, He will fix 8 years worth of fuck ups in just a year and a half. By the way... the stock market has rebound, unemployment down, and new house construction is up.

  • @Bigbird5553

    I really don't know where you get your facts from. Remember Obama saying the unemployment won't go over 8.5%? Last time I check Unemployment is 9.9%. Ofcourse the stock market will rebound cause investors now know that Big Obama is there to lend OUR money to all corps and save them! Can you say big government? Obama has added and proyected more spending and adding to our defecit in the next couple of years more than all presidents put together! Can you say balance our budget?

  • @revizcaino So unregulated markets burned themselves down due to purposeful lack of oversight brought about by the intentional, flawed economic policy of deregulation that the Republicans and tea party STILL believe in, and now unemployment is really high and...

    your answer is to forget all that, call Obama pro- "big government" for trying to regulate markets, blame him for the high unemployment rates and high deficits, and in general just forget the legacy of George W. Bush.

    Brilliant.

  • @afterapplepicking Comrade! Wake up!

    Anyone that really believes the current economic mess was caused by a lack of gov't regulation should be commited to a mental hospital (with Barney).

    In fact, it was liberal socialist meddling, and forced Dem. changes to the banking industries mortgage qualifying standards that opened the floodgates for millions of bad mortgage loans and millions of defaults.

    All of the bad paper was handed to Fannie/Freddie (The taxpayers)....Thank you Barney!!.....IDIOT!

  • @Dealit707 The fact is that the Republican party controlled the House and the Senate from 1995-2006. During that period, they showed remarkable restraint. As eager and passionate as they were to reform Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, they didn't do it. It was President Bush and the Republicans who ordered Fannie and Freddy to increase subprime lending.

    It took the Democrats taking power to reform it, and by then it was too late.

  • ha! The Americans screw up with their economic system, now it is our time Brazilians! This is the Brazilian chance to rise and take over the world market!

    BRAZIL WILL RULE THE WORLD!

    and then USA will be a third world country just like Mexico! lol

  • @AlmightyBrazil u r a dick and dreaming. brazil is still a shithole

  • @AlmightyBrazil Im sorry to tell you man but brazil doesn't have the infrastructure to take over the wolrd market.Here in america our economy may fall for a time but we have the infrastructure to turn it all around in a few years.Although brazil is a first rate nation it does still atleast economy wise fall short compared to these United States.peace.

  • I might be wrong, but wasn't he on the committee that was suppose to be watching this all this collapse "theft"?

  • @SKVPC

    Yes he was one of those in the committee....Funny thing is that he said many time that everything was fine....guess what???

    No wonder people are getting sick of letting government taking over everything and run anything...They can't run crap and this is why America is failing.

  • It's funny how he just prattled on so self-confidently when he really had no idea what he was talking about. The guy is a complete screw-up about everything in life. I guess that's why he's a statist.

  • Complete disbelief that that guy has some say over policy.

  • both republicans and democrats are fucked up, we need new thrid party : independents

  • Big Frank for Barney Frank.

  • GREAT THEY WILL NOT LET ME POST WHAT i WANT TO SAY

  • listen to rush limbaugh make funny of this barney guy. its so funny!

  • Donate to Fwank's challenger:

    seanbielat dot org

  • What is funny is people actually give this guy respect, lmao. Mostly liberals. It just shows you how less evolved they are.

  • This guy is a bumbling pompous idiot. If I was Mass.

    I'd be really embarrassed for my state!

  • .

    straw houses for a straw-man argument ... 2:47

    .

    intelligence & Republicanism ---> oil & water

  • Idiocracy. This man is a fucking moron.

  • If there is a hell, that's where this ape is headed.

  • @yougiberishtube

    .

    And you'll be there to keep him company as his b--ch.

  • this is boring, I want tits!

  • How the hell did this idiot get elected?

  • @dragster178 even greater number of idiots voting.

  • @dragster178 it's relative.

    The man is a damn genius!!!

  • yeah fat boy its a good things that peoples lives are shattered financially - id like to shove some fuckkin tulips down your throat!!!! him, Rangle and the rest of the bastards who screwed us should be GONE!!

  • Damrak- Democrats owned the house and congress while Bush was president when the housing bubble dropped. You Democrats believe anything you are told without knowing the truth. America will fall at the hands of people like you. Frank and Dodd are 100% responsible for the housing burst as they were in charge of Fannie and Freddie and they pushed for regulations allowing people who made 10,000 a 150,000 house that they would never pay for. Dems suck.

  • This is just another Washington liberal scumbag that help cause a major problem like the housing crisis, step back ring their hands of it, and insist that he and the other liberal scumbags are the only ones that can help fix it! obama was another one of these liberal scumbags, in the early 90's he was a attorney for acorn!

  • lol he has a hitler patch.....

  • i hope barney frank is assassinated

  • He is so NASTY!

  • Shut up Fag could of should of would of - The bubble is barney's lovers ass

  • Barney Frank is a  complete bumbling idiot.

  • fuck this fat motherfucker! This gay fucker is a piece of shit that spouts vomit whenever he speaks.

  • 1:38 "The bubble is an intirely inappropriate metaphor"

    BEST PROOF OF DEMOCRATS CAUSING THE HOUSING CRISIS I HAVE EVER SEEN

    He Barney-Elmer Fudd- Frank, you fucking lisping, cum-driking, faggott.

    FUCK YOU

  • The communists in Massachusetts deserve him. It's just a shame that the rest of us have to live with him. And that's coming from someone in the most corrupt city in the world...The "city that works". (if you're willing to cross palms)

  • @UberRepub111 Let's just leave out the religious bullshit, shall we? Belief in invisible friends and talking snakes does not make for good leadership.

  • Bawney is a big mouth. I bet he drives his gay lover crazy. He talks on and on and on. maddening.

  • make marijuana legal and create thousands of jobs, save the 10 billion dollars a year the dea spends on marijuana ( not crack coke or heroin), and create billions of dollars in revenue..... also hemp oil can power cars and homes

  • Frank is just one of the problems. Republicans want to blame everything on Barney Frank - forgetting they were in power throughout the entire bubble. The bubble was caused by loose regulation and far too cheap money and credit available after interest rates went to nothing after 9/11. However, the most important factor was greed - pure and simple - greed by mortgage companies, lenders and greed by borrowers.

  • i hope he gets Aids

  • Hi, my name is Remington Draper and I gave my heart to the Lord Jesus Christ in the summer of 2003 because I realized that I had broken God's Commandments and that He was going to judge me by them of judgment day. The same is true for everyone reading this. The good news is God Loves You! and sent Jesus to pay the price for our sins and if your willing to repent (which means to turn away from your sin) and put your trust in the Lord Jesus only to save you, He will and give you eternal life.

  • The only thing Barney didn't realize is how bad Bush fucked things up. It's funny how people expect a party to correct 8 years of ass grabbin in 2 years.

  • @gonnateabagyou you are a stupid fucking sack of shit...the housing crisis had nothing to do with bush...the housing crisis happened because of democrats interfering and dictating to mac/mae to loan to deadbeats

  • WTF is this fagg even talkin bout? Good with words?He needs to learn how to pronounce words & get rid of that fagg lisp!

  • Freekin clown, why am I reminded of daffy duck every time I hear this guy talk, we got looney toons running this country! Who votes for these half insane doped up goofs , all they seem to know is to tax , spend and waste money, if a policy lacks common sense then its good for politicians like this. Go join disney world Barney theres a daffy duck job just for you waitn! Then again that wouldn't be a good idea he'd probly grope the kids, lol.

  • Reality check!! The most he could have done is slow it down!!!

  • Shut the fuck up cockbreath

  • Hah? What'd he say?

  • This demonstrates that Statists have no comprehension of either the market or the unintended but unavoidable consequences of government's interference in the markets. They just keep tiptoeing throught the tulips like bulls in a china shop, destroying everything they touch, then blaming anyone but themselves for the mess.

  • @thelopper how can you tiptoe like a bull in a china shop?

  • @thelopper , "then blaming anyone but themselves for the mess." maybe the most profound part of your comment!" B.F. is a "CORRUPT COWARD" and should be voted out of office! Good thing for him that he lives in Massachusetts where he'll never be voted out just like the crook Ted Kennedy never was!!

  • who the hell is voting for a j.o. like this

  • I don't know, he might be number three, because I'm sure that Pelosi is number one on that list...

  • can't wait to see his evil ass drug before some court to explain his part in the mess this country is in...this is the worst of the worst...rotten monster.....why don't he go stand in front of a train or something useful to the country

  • Bush raised several red flags about the sub-prime regulaions. In April of 2001, in his budget for 2002, he states that the GSE, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are "a potential problem" because financial problems in either could "cause strong repercussions in financial markets" In 2003, Bush states a more stronger point for regulation to congress by saying teh GSE's are a "systemic risk" that could spread beyond the housing market. There is more but I am having difficulty with fitting it all in.

  • george w bush was riding the housing bubble because it was the only economy in his entire 8 yrs as president. never vote repub again

  • @burntonion05 Not the facts, get the Facts.

  • @P11247 Which facts are you talking about? The fact that there was zero job growth in his entire 8 years or that he was riding the housing bubble? You got to be a dummy to not see that and who cares what barney frank said?

  • @burntonion05 neither will i vote republican...nor democrat...why should we be forced to vote for either evil..they are both evil and worthless to america....both parties are bad and you are kidding yourself if you defend either...

  • @burntonion05 And how many times did Bush - and yes, the guy you hate, Cheney - warn congress about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? And what did Christopher Dodd and Barney Frank and Maxine (dumber than a bag of hammers) Waters say? "It's fine" It's FINE!"

  • @chicago860 You, sir, are 100% CORRECT.

    Funny, where are the protesters now? NOWHERE.

    HYPOCRISY AT ITS BEST. FUCK BARNEY FAGGOTT RANK

  • @chicago860 People go on and on about the republicans wanting to regulate fannie mae and freedie mac, however they had no clue about the housing bubble at the time, they wanted to regulate them for other reasons. Would that regulation have saved those entities? That's pure speculation IMO.

  • @chicago860 absolutely true!!!! to the tune of trillions!

  • @chicago860 it's not about Bush or Obama... they are both following the same plan... they are both evil...

  • Frank: "I think it's a good thing housing prices are dropping"

    Thanks for fucking my career you goddamn weasel

  • We may not be able to fix stupid, but we don't have to reelect it!

  • They were doing something to tank the system so they can take over.

  • @swimkin you are exactly right...both parties are working toward one world government..we have an evil and corrupt government through and through and it is going to take an armed revolution to get rid of the scum in washington who is engineering not only the downfall of america but other countries as well..it is not one or the other party..it is both...we can always hope for some successful terrorist attacks on washington

  • @rubearo theyre not that bright. they are being led by the nose by money. its the money handlers (ie bankers) have this agenda you talk about.

    BTW, fucking idiot barney frank is. He is the case for how idiots in washington get elected and "taught" economics by lobbyists. Its ridiculous. They are all playing with fire, they dont know what they are talking about but yet have all the power.

  • Yes Barney you were advising Fannie and Freddie to issue loans to unqualified buyers and telling Fannie and Freddie, don't worry the American taxpayer will bail you out if you screw up.

  • Barney Frank is the only self-acknowledged and self-avowed teabagger in the U.S. Congress. He says he takes it on the chin.

    Dipshits like Barney Frank have no clue as to what "overvalued" means. Frank has no idea what value means and what is the cause of value.

    Frank has suffered from a lifelong problem with getting the concepts of economics. He's a joke only.

  • @TruthAxe i'd like to see this jerk hung in the public square....worthless piece of shit

  • this man is dangerous... not because he will ever become president... but because he is a loudmouth for hire... he'll talk you out of your shoes... remember when Bush wanted war...? this shill talked and talked believably, and then voted along with Bush... i don't believe a word that falls out of his mouth...

  • What is wrong with our system that allows this pervert to exist within it?

  • BARNEY FRANK, how WRONG YOU WERE!

  • Betrayed by his own words.

    I'm drowning in the irony, here. Somebody throw me a Kennedy!

  • Comment removed

  • Dec 11 2006..."Deregulation". You are the problem Bawney. We need to remove you from office for incompetence.

  • @wideawake123 he was right about deregulation. it was what caused the recession.

  • This man is at the tip of the spear of the global financial meltdown. He and Chris Dodd, the repealing of the Glass Stegal Act, the expansion of the Community Reinvestment Act, and let's not forget years of "business as usual" by a Republican dominated congress and White House. The democrats turned us on a path to destruction, the republicans got fat as we sailed into the iceberg.
