Barney Frank Blasts Newt Gingrich For Saying He Should Be In Jail

[donnie830017]

i cant believe people voted for this guy and people watch this show.....

[TheShootTruth10]

this dude needs speech therapy.

[nanaforiod]

@TheShootTruth10 I can understand him just fine. Besides he's been a politician just fine his entire life with that voice...

[TheShootTruth10]

this guy is a dirty slob....thanks barney frank for helping to ruin our economy.

[Nkrasle]

I am so upset that this brilliant man isn't running for re-election.

[elitoff1]

Hey guess what Barney Newt is leading in all the polls get with the program.

[nanaforiod]

@elitoff1 It is actually kind of depressing that Newt was leading in the polls back then... Even for a liberal.

[makaveliagain]

Barney you should be in jail with your buddy Dodd

[tankwfw]

Barney 1

Newt 0

[Golgafrinchamdent]

Just look at Mathews... on his knees lapping up everything Fwank spews. PMSNBC has it's pants sagging down, offering their ass to liberals.

Disgusting liberal orgy over there. Ughhh!

[leddhed]

Barney wants to suck Newt off.

[rolling126r]

I agree - A person's intellectual level depends on how much people like you. Jesus! This is what passes as a US congressman these days. I've changed my mind...we don't need a border fence. The mexicans can have it - I'll move down there!

[savychris486]

Barney is a lying puke he allowed sub prime,I watched him attack an actuary at his banking committee Pres L.Bush sent guys over to explain how huge a problem (Fannie etc) $33.00 out to each $1.00 in,Barn' attacked the actuary called him a racist, Bullying ensued and barney also forgets it is his Party, &ACORN that threaten Banks to lower requirements and make loans to people who could not pay it back He is guilty. we are on the hook for it. . I can't believe folks would vote for him

[TrollBuster9090]

@savychris486

Yeah, sure, it's ACORN's fault. A nonprofit organization that registers poor people to vote forced banks to make subprime mortgages.

Try looking at the CMFA of 2000, authored by Phil Gramm (R-Texas). Prior to CFMA, either the Bank or a secondary mortgage holder (ie-Fannie Mae) was on the hook for the loan. After CFMA it was possible to sell mortgages to third parties, bundle them, obscure their (crap) value, and sell them to suckers on the stock market. Instant moral hazard.

[mindoermatta]

Barney Frank kicks ass!

LMAO...

[chronDiggity]

Barney Frank belongs in jail also

[0gods]

Just what we don't need while Roman is burning . . . More he said, she said. . .Sure there is lots of blame to go around but at the end of the day, the government is broke and we the people are suffering. . .

[navtel]

elmer fudd at his best.

[wntoply6]

@justonemorename again justone, intolerance and hate doesn't become you. in fact, any message you might have, no matter how valid you might think, is overshadowed by your highly developed bigotry.

now get the fuck off your god damned high horse cause it's really a rat living in scum at the bottom of a rotten barrel called your life!

[helltrackrider]

I wonder if Chris Matthews got a chill up his legs.

[blazehok]

Newt ain't going to reside at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. It's back to Pox news for Newtie.

[Stephanjnj]

I'm sure either one of Gingrich's badly scorned ex-wives would also relish seeing him serve a lengthy sentence, preferably sharing a cozy jail cell with "Bubba".

[fishhead06]

I love how Frank gets SO under the skin of the right wing.

[23ord]

Zionist shill liar and child molester.

[gj804]

Well Newt Gingrich will hopefully understand someday the reason he will never be president is because he is Newt Gingrinch.

[MrGnarus]

Barney Frank was funny.

[mreloid]

People who hate show their ignorance, I believe that ALL people should be given the respect they deserve, no matter what sexual preference they have. Just because the man is gay does not make him wrong. Can't we have an intelligent discussion with out the name calling and Hate? It's one thing to disagree and make a point, but just to demean a person because of their sexuality is plain ignorant.

[cooperbry]

@mreloid I'm racist? How can you make such a conclusion? I'm a bigot? You don't even know me, so, how can you make such a conclusion?

You are the judge I see. You are the intolerant masquerading as the tolerant... You are the evil masquerading as good. Fuck you!

[mreloid]

@cooperbry Your words are clear, I'm glad a hate monger like you dislikes me.

[cooperbry]

It's Bawney's fawlt...

[integral]

@cooperbry Dang. This idiot can't even do a stereotypical "gay lisp" right.

If you hope to be a successful homophobic bigot (and that's probly the highest thing to which you can aspire) you have to get your slurs and such right.

Go back to dim witted bigot school, pookie.

[cooperbry]

@integral It's not a gay lisp, it's how he speaks. In a free country, people are free to agree or disagree with whatever they want. Doesn't mean they're bigots, but, I guess since you're so sensitive about the subject, you must be gay. Give Barney a call and hook up...

[wks197980]

Republicans: Bringin' the stupid and crazy in 2012! 0% taxes for corporations? Raising taxes on the poor? Increasing military spending? They would kick puppies if they could raise money off it.

[genie0390]

what an asshole barney frank!! blames GOP controlled Congress for not curbing events leading up to meltdown!

Bush tried regulating GSEs (Government sponsored enterprises) like Fannie/freddie twice, 2001;2004/05 which could have prevented problems, both times Frank and all other depraved Dem Pricks blocked the moves. Frank insisted regulations would have destroyed low inc housing

In 2006 Dems took the House and Frank became chmn banking committee, must have known of coming doom, did nothing

[TrollBuster9090]

@genie0390

1. Please explain how Barney Frank magically blocked bills to regulate the housing GSEs in 2001/4 and 5 when the House, Senate and Executive Branch (including HUD) were controlled by Republicans. (Please don't say "fillibuster" unless you want to look like an idiot.)

2. A housing bill DID pass the House in 2005 (HR 1461-109th), and Bush said he'd veto it.

3. As soon as Dems took control in 2007, first thing they did was pass a regulatory bill sponsored by Frank (HR 1427-110th).

[genie0390]

@TrollBuster9090

w/r to 1., Barney Frank played a good game of class warfare claiming that regulations on GSEs would hurt the low income housing, which was very effective in that GOP had to take all that into consideration seeing as how keeping power is what DC is all about. Dems did threaten filibuster after the 2nd Congressional hearings.

having contol of Congress doesn't mean you win always. Obowma couldn't pass a budget Bill, incr taxes, 09/10. Can't get his jobs Bill through Sen

[TrollBuster9090]

@genie0390

Okay, so the GOP controlled all three branches of government, but little mush-mouthed Barney had the whole Republican party shaking in their pleather cowboy boots, preventing them from passing bills.

Except, that ain't what happened. The House PASSED a bill in 2005 (HR1461), and Bush said he'd veto it.

The Senate also put one together (s190-109th), and the Republican lobby group DCI killed it. They even hired GINGRICH as a lobbyist to kill regulations.

[genie0390]

@TrollBuster9090

When dems took control of Congress 2007, Barney Frank became chairman of Banking Committee, must have seen coming doom, especially since his gay lover works as executive at Fannie mae. Everyone at fannie knew that the paper they were selling to Investment bankers was toxic. How come nobody from fannie is going to jail?

as chmn, what did Frank do to stop meltdown or warn anyone?

[TrollBuster9090]

@genie0390

"How come nobody from Fannie is going to jail?"

For what, exactly? Fannie Mae is a secondary mortgage broker. All they did was buy primary mortgages from banks (who had often engaged in fraud by lying about the income and financial security of the homebuyers), and then sell them to Goldman Sachs who bundled the crap mortgages with a few good ones, obscured their real value, sold them to suckers and then immediately shorted them for profit. The criminality wasn't with Fannie Mae.

[genie0390]

@TrollBuster9090

that's not how it all went down! Before Fannie would buy mortgages the banks were required to PROVE they weren't redling poor communities so they initated a quota of subprimes to unqualified buyers

Fannie/freddie developed a market for subprimes. Banks made money through "originating fees". F/F encouraged brokers to write a lot of paper, soon F/F were flooded with bad stuff, sold it Investment bankers who merely took advantage of opportunity provided by Frank/Clinton,CRA

[TrollBuster9090]

@genie0390

As I just pointed out, Section 802 of the CRA SPECIFIES that the loans must be made to QUALIFIED buyers, in keeping with the sound financial practices of the bank. F/F would only buy mortgages that met those conditions. The banks got around that in a few cases with fraud (saying the borrowers had higher incomes than they did), but overall only about 15% of the subprime mortgages were made by CRA-regulated thrift banks. Most were made by Gram-Leach monsters like Countrywide.

[genie0390]

@TrollBuster9090

you're willfully ignoring the impact of CRA of 1977, Frank stronly encouraging Clinton to appoint Franlin Raines who made 100 million in forcing bankers into subprime lending.

the root causes for the meltdown was CRA and the liberal ideas that evryone should own a home

Frank had a powerful weapon against GOP regulating GSEs with his argument that regulations involving subprimes would hurt low inc people.

don't know why you give a pass to politicians who r 2 blame

[TrollBuster9090]

@genie0390

I always find it amusing when conservatives parrot the talking point that a law passed in 1977 caused a housing bubble in 2006.

1. The CRA mandates that neighborhood thrift banks must OFFER loans to QUALIFIED borrowers in the same neighborhood.

2. Section 802 SPECIFIES they be consistent with sound financial practices (you can't loan to just anybody).

3. It wasn't the banks that were regulated by the CRA that failed, it was those created by Gramm-Leach and CFMA in 1999 and 2000

[genie0390]

@TrollBuster9090

"I always find it amusing when conservatives parrot the talking point that a law passed in 1977 caused a housing bubble in 2006."

you don't have any insight, it was Clinton and enhanced CRA that really started the bubble in 1997/8. Had America stuck to the conservative principles of the past, 20/30 rule, 20% down on a 30 yr mortgage AND stuck to regulating NOT telling bankers who they can lend to, the meltdown would not have happened!

[TrollBuster9090]

@genie0390

The CRA had nothing to do with it, "enhanced" or otherwise. LESS THAN 20% OF THE SUBPRIME LOANS WERE MADE BY CRA-REGULATED BANKS, and those that were had a lower delinquency rate than those that weren't because they were more carefully regulated. You understand that only a small number of banks (specifically, neighborhood thrift banks) even come under CRA control, don't you?

If you really insist on blaming Clinton for something, blame him for signing Gramm-Leach into law in 1999.

[genie0390]

@TrollBuster9090

I find it amusing that in your world, liberal=good/perfect/can do no wrong; conservative=bad/evil/cause problems. Actually the reverse is true most of the time

You also don't understand that the Government has absolute power to regulate so when things get screwed up, the buck stops with them in DC. ie the OWS crowd should move there!

also, don't try to tell me that Fannie Mae didn't know the potential dangers of subprimes when they sold those to Investment bankers

[REWHBLCAIN]

He sounds like he still has a ball gag in his mouth. Barney your not fooling anyone, take the cock out of your mouth.

[stephenwalls1]

@REWHBLCAIN Ball gags? How many in your closet?

[REWHBLCAIN]

@stephenwalls1 REGIME CHANGE 2012.

[stephenwalls1]

@REWHBLCAIN Don't forget to update your profile on Craiglist b4 u go out. x

[REWHBLCAIN]

@stephenwalls1 Is the fag upset because of my remarks?

[stephenwalls1]

@REWHBLCAIN Upset me? No way! Just accept your homosexuality.

[BottleConcreteBlond]

Wow, this video brought out the dumbass anti-gay bigots.

[integral]

@BottleConcreteBlond Kinda pathetic that that is all they can muster out of their sad little souls.

Unfortunately the dim bigots will always be with us.

[JerryG1815]

Go get him Barney, I love the way you can throw some humor in this!

[BottleConcreteBlond]

I love it, Frank destroys Newt. Newt's supposed intellect is really overrated.

[TrollBuster9090]

@BottleConcreteBlond

Not overrated, just misunderstood. Nobody ever said Gingrich was a deep thinker. They just said he was the number one intellectual in the Republican Party. Sort of the equivalent of being the most skillful English chef.

[Ploon72]

@TrollBuster9090 Hey, there are some excellent English chefs!

[TrollBuster9090]

@Ploon72

Perhaps, but I'm not eating "Spotted Dick" or "Toad in the Hole" no matter HOW well it's done up.

[BottleConcreteBlond]

@TrollBuster9090 Not misunderstood--overrated. That he's the best of a bad lot doesn't make him good.

[VoVaKissCam]

Glad to see Barney Frank fighting back. 

[tradernorton05]

its such a mistake to allow flaming faggots to be involved in politics.

[GypsyMofakka]

@tradernorton05 Then shut the fuck up.

[tradernorton05]

@GypsyMofakka hahah!

Eat shit sally.....

[GypsyMofakka]

@tradernorton05 A little too kinky for my taste, Bertha.

[jag10]

There are a number of thing which could have landed this piece of shit in jail over the last 15 years, but alas, he's a member of the protected ruling class.

Time to drain the swamp.

[iwillspyonyou]

politicians being stupid, as usual.

[KenyanImport]

Silly Faggots Dicks are for Chicks.

[stephenwalls1]

@KenyanImport Speak for yourself. xD

[KenyanImport]

@stephenwalls1 Yes the Liberal Left LOVES watching these two queers suck each other off on TV.

[stephenwalls1]

@KenyanImport Do you think of gay sex often? Just wondering.

[KenyanImport]

@stephenwalls1 I only think of gay sex when I watch Barney Frank and Chris Mathews,and that is not very often.

[stephenwalls1]

@KenyanImport National Coming Out Day was on the 11th, not too late for you. x

[KenyanImport]

@stephenwalls1 National Suicide Day is everyday, likewise its not to late for you.

[BottleConcreteBlond]

@KenyanImport That seems like a problem for you and your psychiatrist.

[KenyanImport]

@BottleConcreteBlond Nope its a common problem for Americans who despise Communists Fags.

[integral]

@KenyanImport Dropped on your head repeatedly as an infant by your drunk mother/father?

That would explain a lot.

[whoo689]

Come to think of it, was Newt Gingrich still in office when Gramm-Leach-Bliley was in Congress? If he WAS, he's just as guilty as anyone for helping pass it!

[whoo689]

He WAS the Speaker, after all.

[whoo689]

Newt doesn't wanna offend his friends on Wall St., so he plays this stupid-ass game of BLAMING WASHINGTON for all of the financial crisis. What a joke... ANYONE WITH A BRAIN can see that Wall St. fucked up, and those guys should be in JAIL.

For fraud, predatory lending, you name it

[LeGioNoFZioN]

@whoo689 government has been hand in hand with all of this, if you can't see the relationship between big money and political power, parties and the gov't in general then you are blind. Watch the Ascent of Money with Niall Ferguson and George Soros, the relationship is neither new, nor revolutionary. Quite the contrary it has been that way since the advent of banking.

[Visfen]

Let's play the blame game!

Newt should probably be in jail as well, Dodd definitely should for the gifts he got because of the regulations he put forward. Let them go at each other and then we enough ammo to get all of them.

[awreslr2]

@Visfen I cannot believe someone could be as stupid as to post what you posted without knowing any facts. But, hey, this is America, you have a perfect right to post your stupidity out there publicly for all to see. "Dodd definitely should for the gifts he got because of the regulations he put forward" links? you don't need them because you are a member of the stupid party. Actually, the investigations: "Ethics Panel Clears Dodd Of Breaking Rules With VIP Mortgages". But you hate him.OK

[kaysandesses]

@awreslr2 FYI, Visfen is a troll. 

[awreslr2]

@kaysandesses sorry I got caught by a troll. But I should have known better. Thanks for alerting me!

[Visfen]

@awreslr2 Stupid party? I'm not a democrat (as the saying goes) neither am I American.

Chris Dodd got a sweat and special mortgage deal from countrywide. The fact that he wasn't actually put away for ethics violation only proves how absolutely bogus the process is. The ethics panel are a bunch of other politicians.

And the Dodd-Frank regulatory bill they got trough is one of the main drivers in putting community banks out of businesses (though a sweet deal for their pals on wall street)
