Barney Frank vs. Michele Bachmann..showdown

[NYt234]

Two of the most annoying fucking politicians in Congress. It's both of these fuckers on the extremes of their ideologies that keep political discourse from being productive

[mtca05]

she sounds and looks like a gay rabid poodle in heat. what an absolute disgrace to mankind.

[darkhawk123]

It would be nice if CNN aired the whole segment not just the 2 minutes that they thought were the funniest. But then Americans might be informed.

[WWETNAwrestlingfan15]

It's embarrassing that some of the users on here can't make a point without insulting someone. Grow up already kids.

[Lifeplay]

wow look at the dow. it's down to 8,400

[marine919]

My boy lolly pop said," there is nothing fundamentally wrong with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac", after Bush asked for reform 17 times. We know how that ended !

[unoitaliano]

Liberal fools..supporting such scum like that loser. What we have here is a debate between good and evil folks...just look at how evil acts..bluddering buffon, he can't can't even talk straight, let alone eeyeah this country has been enduring the lefts assaults for quite some time now..im an independent . I can see past both of those two infiltrated parties. Eventually the country will go into collapse, when it does, I am certain we won't have to worry about the braindead left anymore thyl starv

[edgwaterprog]

@unoitaliano What are you talking about? Which one is the loser? It seems to me that through most of this conversation Bachmann was blundering around. She took a position that was unsupportable.

[vincentkjones1]

Barney puts skin flutes in his mouth, qualifies him as a democrat.

[vette72green]

sword swallower barney is another piece of shit who should be ousted.queers and communists in political office unfuckin believeable.

[mrleroy1966]

Bachmann is a fucking moron.

[Dealit707]

Barney Frank does NOT like to be interrupted.

[WermGut]

Be Vewy Qwiet.....I'm Hunting Wabbit!

[twinsman0104]

I am ashamed that she represents me!

[theack09]

here we had gordon smith. think of having her good late night talk show host

[peterphilip]

anyone listening to the right wing will you please pick up a book... please for the love of GOD read.... and it can't be by Glenn Beck.... read some William F. Buckley you fucking morons... read what conservatism is... read why you all sound like racist bigots who just play on fear.

[amtavizon]

Michelle Bachmann a true American Franks a true criminal I like the way they cut this off at the 2 min and 25 seconds

[MrExnihilo]

While you folks continue to embrace the Democrat Party and demonize any and all Republicans, thereby thinking in terms of left vs right, I'll be veiwing politics in terms of right vs wrong.

Supporting a politician just because he or she has a D next to his/her name, or dismissing a politician just because of an R, is stupid.

[angusrocks6464]

Mismatch. Watching Barney Frank debate Michele Bachmann is like watching Chuck Liddell fight PeeWee Herman. Bachmann appeals to the same goosestepping types who existed in Germany in the 30s. Fear, propoganda and lies.

[scbluesman13]

The hypocrisy is so thick you could feed a third world country with it. It seems that no one in the GOP remembers how heavily they leaned on ACORN during the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections especially in battleground states like Ohio and Florida. In our last election, all of a sudden the GOP turns on ACORN because a democrat was elected president. Hey NeoCons, try coming up with some helpful ideas for moving this nation forward, instead of looking for boogiemen and scapegoats...

[BeantownJim]

Yeah we let the women take care of the fags

[treid100182]

Universal Healthcare Now, American Fraternity Forever!!!! Lets get it done.

[cowboybill117]

Barny Frank is one of the main reasons we are where we are today, He is the chairman of the comittee that oversees frannie and freddie. Bush told him as early as 2001 that this would ha[ppen if the regulations Clinton took off them were not reinstated. Frank convinced Congress that there was nothing wrong with them. Any questions look at cspan records in 2004 and again in 2006 when McCain tried to put them back.

[cowboybill117]

TMARTIN I can't believe you went to college and didn't learn common sense. Before you post, research. Acorn has been arrested in over 20 states now and their pleading guilty. Funny you say only one person has done that. I agree with JIBOHICA.

[JayKRiot]

Michele Bachmann is a cunt

[bigtexansfan]

I saw this in it's entirety on CNN when it happened and Barney Frank verbally bitch slapped her over and over. Anyone from Minnesota who voted for this stupid cunt need to bury their head in shame.

[tmartin3]

bachmann got owned. Totally oblivious to the points being made

[jlBohica]

@tmartin3

That's not how we in "fly over" land see this video. Barney is clearly unprepared, flittering his papers about, stuttering and stammering and blaming. Bachmann clearly knows her position and communicates clearly as a representative should.

[tmartin3]

What she showed me is that she doesn't know how ACORN works...and that's why it's 'fly over' land. I've been to the 6th district.

[jlBohica]

@tmartin

Ahhh, thanks for the clarification.

1) just how does ACORN work and how does this video show Bachmann's ignorance? Really interested in hearing more on this.

2) Where in the 6th have you been and how many people did you actually interact with there? We accept being in "fly over" land but really despise arrogant fucks like you. Still, we'll serve you eggs and fix your stupid car with a smile.

3) Seriously, people like you need to stop giving people like Frank more power.

[tmartin3]

Well, JL. I received my PhD from the university of Minnesota and knew lotsz of people from around Woodbury, Hugo and St Cloud.

Bachmann wants to deny ACORN federal funding by disbarring any group in which an individual of that group has been indicted. This was absurdly broad b/c it will lead to all types of punitive action from prosecutors with an axe to grind since they could shut off funding for a group simply by indicting an individual within that group.

Barney kicks ass

[tmartin3]

Here's some more Michelle ignorance in which she blamed FDR for the Smoot Hawley Act, when in fact it ocurred well before FDR took office was named after two republican legislators and signed into law by a Republican president.

do a youtube search for this:

Michele Bachmann on the "Hoot Smalley" Act

[jlBohica]

Totally doubt you have even an AAS, or graduated H.S. if you really think Frank "kicks ass". Good luck.

[tmartin3]

Well, for the record, all you need to do is look on my moniker, Tmartin3 and you will find info. For the record, I have opted for Columbia, bitch of a commute but only once a week

[tmartin3]

Also, she ignored his point about Bush funding. Where were the republicans regarding funding to Acorn when Bush was president? For eight years nary a word.

[hitch4645]

barney frank, kickin ass

bachmann, takin it up the ass

[cat00012000]

Should Barney really lower himself this way? I think it may show a lack of class. Picking on Michele just seems cruel. At least he could have used a little humor instead of acting like this was an actual serious discussion. Hopefully he'll be more circumspect next time if there is a next time.

[apeiron73]

He is cruel and dismissive of anyone who disagrees with him. There is no point in debating with Barney Fudd. Hopefully in his MA district the beautiful people in Newton will vote him out. I shook hands with the man before, and admittedly he has done some good. But as of recent times, it's one blunder after another. You're only as good as your next vote. Hopefully here in the People's Republic of Mass we'll wake the hell up.

[365to173repubsPWNED]

I think he is cruel and dismissive of anyone who contradicts themselves...as shown here

[deimosghost]

Barney Frank starts by saying "It wasn't our fault! It was BUSH!!" and deflecting the whole deal.

What a blathering piece of shit.

[mintvagoo]

Michele Bachmann manages to make look less- cunty.

[greengringo2003]

The problem is, YOU look more cunty.

More than your mother, actually.
