Rep. Barney Frank Totally PWNS Wingnut at Town Hall

[briquetaverne]

All this divided anger is simple. There are those who don't want to spend money for anything because they can handle every problem they encounter by themselves independently; and those who want to spend money for the benefit of the society (even for those who believe their invincible on every level) because they don't want to be forced to step over those independent, invincible, types "who didn't see it coming" and are now lying on the sidewalk.

[n68firebird]

@briquetaverne: I think you forgot a third contingent - those who have adopted the entitlement mentality, partly because it has existed in our collective society for so many years and so many generations. This is basically, "I want what you got but I don't want to have to do what you did to get what you got".

[BigKawasaki2000]

Barney Frank can't honestly answer a question. 

[leftyms]

What kind of fool accuses a gay Jewish man of supporting a "Nazi policy"? The ignorance is astounding.

[n68firebird]

@leftyms: How do you know that she isn't Jewish? Did you ask her? She was basically referring to the forced payments that citizens would have to make for healthcare that they may not want. Barney Frank looks like a great big a-hole trying to bully a younger, smaller woman. At least there weren't any suspicious fart noises while he spoke, as were heard while he discussed jobs on the Rachel Maddow show on MSNBC. (This is on YouTube as well. I couldn't post the link.)

[leftyms]

@n68firebird When did I say she isn't Jewish? Oh right, I didn't, and frankly that has nothing to do with the issue anyway, so it's a foolish question for you to ask me. Furthermore, you think what made the Nazis atrocious was that they forced citizens to pay for healthcare? Wow, I see she isn't the only ignorant person here. Do you have any understanding of what the Nazis actually did?? And lastly, making flatulence a part of your "argument"? Get serious and grow up.

[n68firebird]

@leftyms: You brought up the point. I think your own ignorance is astounding; read your own post. I have been to townhall meetings with our House Rep before. People were allowed to ask all sorts of questions, which were answered. The questioners were treated with respect, even if the questions were quite pointed. Barney Frank should be grateful that I do not live in his district in NY, because he would have gotten an earful from me after that bunch of nonsense.

[leftyms]

@n68firebird First of all, yes I'm sure he'd be vey intimidated by you if you were his constituent…lol. And second, no, I brought up that HE'S Jewish, I said nothing about her other than the obvious conclusion any reasonable person would make, which is that accusing him of supporting a Nazi policy is both ignorant and outrageous. I'm not going to humor you any further, since you clearly aren't an informed or serious person, so all future comments will be ignored. 

[n68firebird]

@leftyms: I firmly believe that elected officials should remember that they represent their constituency, and any questions posed at townhall meetings, even if quite pointed, should be answered with respect. Barney Frank really showed his rear end when yelling at and insulting that young woman. As I stated in a previous post, he's lucky I don't live in his district, and he's lucky I wasn't there at that time - he would have gotten an earful!

[kronosgyros]

All that looks like what socialists in the USA want. Same old NAZIism, we are just not allowed to tell it like it is.

[DEConnoisseur]

Nazis killed 17 million people, including thousands of Americans who went to Europe to end the war. When the current administration starts putting people in concentration camps you let us know. Until then you're pissing on the graves of millions of people, including American soldiers by making that comparison.

[n68firebird]

@DEConnoisseur: WRONG. She was exercising her right to speak up in a townhall meeting, even if Barney Frank and the pack of morons who snarled at her comment didn't like what she had to say. I always like to see someone standing up to the status quo, and the leaders of the status quo. She did just that.

[DEConnoisseur]

Dude, pass the haterade. I wanna try it. Did you have a Sore-Loserman bumper-sticker on your car 10 years ago?

[kronosgyros]

more NAZI manifesto:

21 The State has the duty to help raise the standard of national health by providing maternity welfare centres, by prohibiting juvenile labour, by increasing physical fitness through the introduction of compulsory games and gymnastics, and by the greatest possible encouragement of associations concerned with the physical education of the young.

[n68firebird]

@kronosgyros: WRONG. She is talking about the mindset of an administration that would force citizens to pay for services that they may not want - and she had every right to do so. I applaud her bravery; she was obviously not a member of the pack of sheep who muttered and squawked at her comment.

[kronosgyros]

more NAZI manifesto:

17 We demand an agrarian reform in accordance with our national requirements, and the enactment of a law to expropriate the owners without compensation of any land needed for the common purpose. The abolition of ground rents, and the prohibition of all speculation in land.

18 We demand that ruthless war be waged against those who work to the injury of the common welfare. Traitors, usurers, profiteers, etc., are to be punished with death, regardless of creed or race.

[kronosgyros]

NAZI manifesto:

13 We demand the nationalization of all trusts.

14 We demand profit-sharing in large industries.

15 We demand a generous increase in old-age pensions.

16 We demand the creation and maintenance of a sound middle-class, the immediate communalisation of large stores which will be rented cheaply to small trades people, and the strongest consideration must be given to ensure that small traders shall deliver the supplies needed by the State, the provinces and municipalities.

[DEConnoisseur]

Um, that's called a government. Nazism is refering to the genocide, nitwit.

[666bushisnazi666]

Yes, trying to provide everyone with health care is exactly like nazi germany. Nothing like you and your family getting hauled off in the middle of the night to a concentration camp and tortured to death. This chick is another dumb republitard that voted for Johnny Mac, a sucker for the rich.

[sbrooks0178]

If all the Dems had the cajunas of Barney Frank, a health care bill with a public option would have passed ages ago!

[jezmundberserker]

Barney OWNS!

[billyboi57]

@truthseekerfinder, perhaps if you knew the constitution of this country you would know that nukes are for the defense of this country which is what the government is charged with, NOT MY FRIGGIN' HEALTHCARE!!!!!!!! MORON!!!!!

[RagingLib]

Perhaps if you knew the fucking Constitution and not just the 2nd Amendment you fucking retard. What part of general welfare is confusing to you? Maybe if you spent more time reading and studying, and less time sucking cock for crack money, you'd have a better understanding of what the Constitution of the United States ACTUALLY says.

[Ironhawk86]

@RagingLib Hey dumbass, check your Constitution. It says PROMOTE the general welfare, not PROVIDE. And if that little phrase is a blank check for the govt to do whatever it wants as you lefties like to imply, why did they bother to write a Constituion in the first place? Anyone who's actually read that document knows it's purpose is to LIMIT the powers of the federal govt, hence why it says anything not mentioned in the document is the domain of the States.

[morg3k]

Barney is badass!

[MrExnihilo]

My, what bravado. A democrat congressman feels the need to compete emotionally from someone he no doubt considers a peasant (aristocacy does things like that) and you libs orgasm all over the board as a result.

btw Obama's job approval numbers are still dropping. Why is that? And why is there so much anger at the town hall meetings against the libs?

I see Republicans gaining seats next year. Bawney is scared. His bluster doesn't impress me.

[dinobrya]

She completely had it coming. She showed no respect. She received no respect. I am all smiles.

[MrExnihilo]

When Bawney earns respect, he will have it. Until then, he's as much of a nazi as anyone I've ever seen.

[cwcwful]

You do not know what you are talking about.

[jezmundberserker]

He gave that stupid bitch what she deserved. If she didn't show respect when making the question, why would Rep. Frank have to show her respect? Eye for an eye, my friend. I believe that's what your favorite book says.

[morg3k]

That's right!

[tweexican]

the leftist media has done such a great job at doing everything they can to depict this new administration as absolute failures.

4 months into Obamas presidency and there were 4 books released by angry republicans talking about how the administration has failed

throughout Bush's presidency he kept saying how only history would be able to tell if his administration was "good" or not.. for fucks sake we put a blubbering moron in the white house for 8 years. give the guy 2

[Truthseekerfinder]

I'm always amazed that the same people that decry the government as incompetent in handling their health care see absolutely no concern with the same government handling about 8,000 nuclear warheads, that could destroy the world.

[coffeescup]

WTG BARNEY FRANK!!!!!!!!!

[youcrackpot]

That empty-headed ditz deserved a complete facial in front of the world. We need more frank talk. Thank you Barney.

[Cyrus992]

At least she would have said Barney Frank is a Nazi.. come on!! His stupid, disappointing, horrible Fannie Mae risky loan government regulated mortgages GOT US IN THE ECONOMIC CRISIS!!

Come on people, this man out of his mind!!! His policies are screwing up this country and now he wants MORE GOVERNMENT REGULATION IN THE MORTGAGES AND REAL ESTATE!!

Stop Barney Frank, He is more like a Nazi!!!

[kevinbgoode]

I am so glad conservatives never have any responsibility for anything when they hold power. This is why, naturally, the people voted them OUT.

[DixieDale]

Thank you, Barney Frank!!

[kruledent]

"[Virtually] every large scale social and political movement in America--from slavery to women's sufferage...was either created or confronted by anger."

[milena690]

I'm embarrassed for her.Can we have an honest discussion about health care?

[ArtisanTony]

Barny Frank is an idiot and can only beat up on women. If it had been a man he would have never had the nerve.

And Howard Dean is a bigger screeming idiot.

[lecanadien489]

@ArtisanTony

Barney Frank has a long history of saying what he wants to whoever he wants. Other congressman, media people, morons like this lady, etc. It's part of his reputation, and is frankly quite refreshing.

[FutureStudy]

idiot generally applies to people of lower intelligence, and certainly this women's lack of logical connections demonstrates that she is the idiot: logic as defined by your typically elementary course, if A causes B, B does not necessarily cause A, and then we can move on the common logical flaws people propose, such as contextual flaws. Anyway, you have no idea about who is an idiot and who is not.

[Sileni]

Get the fuck outta here with that pseudo-intellectual rhetoric. Stay off my internet!

[FutureStudy]

its not pseudo-intellectual, and seeing how you lack any power over my actions on the internet, good luck with claiming it as your internet. Not only do you lack the intellectual capacity to exert power on the internet by way of persuasive logic, but you also lack the method of physical force. Well buddy, you're fucked huh?

[bjj4ever86]

obviously you haven't seen the longer version.

[fringefries]

Keep up the CRAZY talk your CULT OF INSANITY is entertaining us all. We're going to laugh at you while we play scary videos of you whack jobs go off in public. We want you to revolt and destroy yourselves because after all what good are you anyway. You are merely a temporary impediment that after 30 yrs of biased conservaTARD dominated media will be spat and pissed on for the toilet that you are.

[kevinbgoode]

Right...and only con-artist con-servatives who intended to disrupt these meetings are reasonable, responsible people. This is why, of course, the American people voted them OUT of office.

[Cyrus992]

kevinbgoode:

I am not really a strong conservative. I fight for one thing and that is liberty!

Liberty is an American value and it does not come true when Government takes our money and gives us things that work better when its privatized!!

Also our liberty is dead when you have people like Barney Frank forcing Freddie Mac to make risky loans for banks and create serious economic disasters!

We voted conservatives out of office becuase we did not want more of Bush, not for socialism!

[MrExnihilo]

So conservatives were voted out because people shouted at town hall meetings?

[grizzlygriffin69]

A gay Jew and a half black man are Nazis. Hahahahaha oh, conservatives. Come on now, Nazis? Really? Because I'm sure they had a health care system comparable to the one in this bill. You have to be retarded to agree with what Bill O'Rielly or Sarah Palin say.

[samuraijrb]

That lady is the shameful product of our great American education system. Clearly someone is feeding lines to these brainless individuals. I wonder how much they are paying her? If I had hired her I would definitely ask for my money back.

[leemayh]

This dumb ass lady will now have a new career as the darling of Fox News and will tour the country with Joe the Plumber on a tour called "The Dumming Down of America" the next generation.

[Infowarrior55]

On what planet do you spend most of your time Barney Frank asks, while ironically  Barney Frank spends the majority of his time inhabiting Uranus.

[dubhdavidblack]

Ah! What insightful wit-- a "He's Gay" joke.

Gosh, we're all so proud of you.

[johnnypoo63]

Must take a lot of thought to be stealing material from Rush Limbaugh.All you wingnuts are completely incapable of even one independent thought.

[xaviqaz]

@johnnypoo63 Is a LaRouche supporter, a left-winger

[sefinaz1]

u must be the dumbest fuck on the planet....please go seek help..fucking fox news turd

[MichelSainteClaire]

lame

[WolfRester]

homophobe.

[johnnypoo63]

The sad thing is that these people have no knowledge of history. They know that the Nazis were evil, But they have no idea why.

[TheArgenta2009]

exactly, they don't know the kind of government the nazis had, they don't know their political agenda, they don't know anything, but they just scream "obama nazi" for the same reason they called him terrorist during the campaign. they just hate him for no reason, there's absolutely nothing Obama could do to win these people, they're going to hate him no matter what

[incognitoTLM]

Whipee! Barney Frank just hit a 4 run homer with that one. P'owned...sometimes you gotta put the politics and sugarcoated PR aside and just tell it like it is.

[sacopenapa]

Stupid woman! However, Mr. Obama is nothing more than the new facade of the old building. No Change! More War and militarizastion while the economy is in shambles. The stupidity of the woman is just a picture of the level of the North American people, who still believes the US is fighting Al-Queida or the Taliban. The US is in Af-Pak for oil nothing else. 9/11 was an inside job. The US is behing Honduras coup.

[dmp079]

Stupid answers for people who asks stupid questions my grandfather always says! LOL!

[socomcorky]

A dining room table!

[tarheel8494]

scmishyma:. I will agree with one thing, I also don't like any cult of personality, regardless of political leaning. so we agree there. but, seriously, fascism also involves HEAVY nationalism, glorification of military, sublimating diversity, enforcing traditional gender conformity, exalting paramilitary institutions. ;.that bimbo at the town hall wasn't called a Nazi by Rep. Frank..he just refused to dignify her offensive abuse of free speech. SHE said nazi. are public roads nazi?

[lilgame34]

Barney Frank laid the smackdown on her candy ass!

[MatiasDiNapoli]

Can't wait to see what Mr. O'Reilly has to say about this. LOL

[wiredcoder]

There's better video than this. Regarding a questioners claim about illegal immigrants, the zombies in the crown began to chant "read the bill." When he pulled out the bill to read the section, they didn't want to hear it.

Stupid FOX ZOMBIES! Please report to the re-education camp, the death panel awaits your arrival.

[Britneylover4]

The whole point of this conference is about the new health care issue, not about the freedom of speech. She's just using such extreme comparison to prove a point, yet he didn't realized that and continuously deflected his attention on this comparison rather than the issue at hand. This is an example of an ad hominem attack that people employ when they're put at a difficult situation. Also, he let his emotions (nationalism) get the best of him which was very unprofessional.

[neqquah]

She didn't derseve a dignified response after making such an utterly absurd comparison

[SunSunSuperFun]

These "town hallers" are nothing more than faceless cowards. Next time a televised town hall gets interrupted, I'd love to see the politician invite THAT person up to the stage for a real health care debate. Everyone on Youtube and TV will get to see what great ideas they both have and will be able to make a more informed choice. That, or the protester will look like an asshole and the rest will shut up so others can hear.

[MaryJesusJoseph]

Woo-Hoo Go Barney!  Answer these idiotic questions with the same spirit and seriousness they're asked!

[wilfrid55]

dopey republican americans would prefer to pay 12,000$ per year for the honor of being refused health care because of pre-existing conditions - rather than pay 80 bucks a month for universal health care.  Hemsley has got you kissing his 100,000$ a day butt - conservatives are really dopey, are they not?

[TheSuperLiberal]

You go Barney, we need to fight back against these brain dead puppet righty's. Let them exercise their right to free speech it just makes them look that much more ignorant.

[IYAMNI]

It's about fk'n time! Right on Barney!

My neighbors dog barks at me every time I pass their fence. It's never occurred to me to stop and argue with it.

Republicans lost. WE won. Let's get on with it.

[lostlyrarose]

Oh yes, universal healthcare is exactly like Nazi Germany. It feels exactly the same as having your family hauled off to a concentration and killed in the middle of the night, along with your 30 other relatives. Exactly the same. I'm just curious what kind of schooling is required for such an obvious connection.

[denicci1977]

Like talking to a dining room table LMFAO !!! Love it !!!

[pnp2k6]

I Love Barney!! You Go Girl!

[norm58]

Boooo! Barney Franks just insulted all the dining tables in America!!! Booooo!

[tdawbin]

I was standing behind this woman. The mag she was holding was from LaRouche PAC.

[poops1]

i used to date that girl, she may be stupid, but she gives great head...

barney frank got a little catty..... he's a homo, so that comment applies...

[sadamerican1]

Does Jennifer have a last name?

[ar4216]

LOL! These people really do live in a alternate reality.

[jareddeason]

I'm not a huge fan of Frank or Obama's healthcare policy, but this lady is just an idiot. She needs to read a history book before she throws the word "Nazi" out so freely. What is sad is that she actually thought she was going to get a good response from the audience. That is one ignorant individual.

[sadamerican1]

Does anybody know this woman's name?

[poops1]

yea her names jennifer

[tarheel8494]

here name is "whore o. babylon"

[judoyodan]

I think my dinning room table is actually SMARTER than that woman with the doctored photo.

[daniel454r]

the party of teabaggers are devils

[wetweasel56]

This is a typical Democratic answer, no answer.

She asked an unusual question but did you notice he didn't answer it either; hiding behind his fake sense of indignation.

Less gov. is safe gov.

[tarheel8494]

Her question deserved no response. She hadn't earned it.

[marbeque]

That lady just got faced!

[destroyeric89]

United Fates of Amerikkka.

[otownsteelers]

Oh Gawd that silly woman got owned! Why don't more Dem's stand up like this guy and just call these idiots on their lies?

[scmishyma]

I don't understand why he did not answer the question.  Obama is no Hitler but Franks did not answer the question.

[tarheel8494]

that woman does not deserve to even be acknowledged...you have to earn respect, and she didn't. Period. Maybe the idiots will soon learn that freedom of speech comes with the responsibility for what you decide to say. blatant and offensive lies deserve no response.

[scmishyma]

It does come with responsibility, but slander is a hard line to draw, best left to the courts, not youtube. Remember

Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.~ Oscar Wilde

[tarheel8494]

I didn't use the term slander, you did. I only said that people who spout off about freedom of speech forget that it isn't limitless, and it does carry with it responsibilities, even just on a civic level. I thought the conservatives were for personal responsibility. that means take responsibility for the crap that one spouts, especially into a mic, taking up valuable time in public discourse on things that actually matter, and distracting with offtopic b.s. that doesn't matter. fascists.

[phineastbuster]

Barney Frank is such a "tool".... I meant "fool". He refers to his ethnic heritage....does it mean he likes "bagels and lox"? I heard that Barney's real last name was Frankfurter.

[tarheel8494]

do you have anything intelligent to say this morning, phineas? your posts don't make any sense.

[phineastbuster]

tarheel8494

Well, have you been spending a little to much time in the NC Mountains. Has altitude sickness effected those brain cells. As my buddy Barney said, "On what Planet do you spend most of your time"?

[tarheel8494]

Wow, what a thoughtful, content-filled comeback, Phineas! Mountains, altitude...hilarious! whew...civics 101 at Liberty University? Do you have anything germaine to say today on the actual subject at hand? Didn't think so. Now go and make some more Obama-hitler posters. what a productive contributing citizen you are!!!

[phineastbuster]

tarheel8494

Tar Guy

My grandfather fought in WWII and I find your reference to Hitler very upsetting. He returned alive but his brother died fighting Hitler and his army.

With that said, I'm glad you enjoyed my comment about the altitude. See, we do have something in common, my sense of humor.

[tarheel8494]

LOL...sense of humor? try NONsense.  My reference to Hitler? My reference? It's these morons showing up at these townhalls, just to raise hell with no point, who should be offending you if Hitler is a touchy subject. They're the ones showing up with parodies of him. What in the hell are you talking about? are you 12, or just mentally challenged?
