Great CSPAN Fights: Barney Frank vs Michele Bachmann

[CSec946]

Barney Frank v Michele Bachmann. Idiot vs. Idiot.

[policechaser]

Who wrote that bullshit speech that Bachmann read?

[Nextstopearth]

Wow, what happened right at the end there with the woman?

[MyXxx77]

When it comes to spending our money the congress is not held to court standards of proven guilt. Inditement is plenty.

[319jmp]

Well done Barney Frank. Shut that looney bat out. For the past two years (for as long as I have known of her) her facts have been consistently wrong and her morals completely upside down. This is why so many of her campaign advisers have left her and stated because she is a loose cannon who will repeat on a world stage every and anything she hears without due process. She must go away quickly and quietly as soon as possible.

[PALeftWinger]

@CoombesKidd Out of these two, you think Frank is the moron? Are you aware of the endless list of crazy things Michele Bachmann has done/said?

[unlockturtle]

Please consider coming over to the Paul camp! We are at the heels of the media favorite corporate establishment guys, Mitt and Newt!

[Azrael666Azazel]

registering people to vote is different from election fraud. It doesn't matter if you register them because guess what Mickey Mouse isn't going to show up at the polls and vote. They put down fake names yes, they were paid on the number of people they registered, but unless those fake names showed up and voted I fail to see the crisis that bachmann makes it out to be.

[MobiusBandwidth]

well come on, in Bachman's defense, many people who are accused of wrong-doing turn out to be guilty after all. so, might as well lump them all together for the greater good.

[Ramel34]

@MobiusBandwidth Yeah, hell with the 5th amendment. Well that is until it's me or one of my loved ones being accused of something. 

[BJTGamer]

Michele Bachmann is probably the second most conservative candidate for president, right now. Right behind Rick Santorum.

[redreaper2020]

Bachmann is batshit insane. This means that if I were friends with a prosecutor, I could simply open investigations with all my enemies, and shut them all down temporarily while I reap the election, even if there was NO reason whatsoever to do so.

That's totalitarianism. A handful of sensationalist headlines, which are very very minor in comparison to the size of the election, are a poor defense against common sense.

[w00zyhead]

That woman can't function without a script. Just like all the rest in her party

[jehartman2]

When you see a train coming, do you stand in front of it - allowing it the opportunity to stop?

[marilynr46]

Why don't the people of Minnesota get rid of this lunatic woman? Shame on them.

[alfone881]

@marilynr46 trust me we want to but she represent a right-wing district but if she run for senate she'll for sure lose like Romney did.

[marilynr46]

@alfone881 I live in Massachusetts, and we will be sending Elizabeth Warren to the Senate in 2012. She actually cares about the middle class.It has been her life work. She has the smarts to actually change things. And she can't be bought.

[BabyBuns212]

@marilynr46 Ask the voters in Minnesota's 6th district. Not all of Minnesota is responsible for her having been voted into office. Shame on me, nothing. I did not vote for her, nor would I have voted for her had I been living in her district. Thank you.

[jesselukes]

Here's food for thought: Michele, in this clip, is saying multiple three-syllable words in sentences that follow rules of syntax but ALSO embody the Rogerian argument. Her speechwriter(s) get paid less. We could be saving money!! Just send the speechwriters to congress!!

[jesselukes]

Wow, Frank really laid it out.

[hereiam2005]

Is she f***ing READING from a PREPARED SPEECH? The woman should be a fox news commentator instead of a congresswoman.

[rjl1184]

@hereiam2005

She probly will be one, after she drops out of the Presidential race, or looses reelection to congress in 2012.

[rb3264]

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice... can't get fooled again

[TheRevolutionCanada]

Michelle Bachmann needs to stop sucking on the government tit

[realroadrunner69]

what did barney rumble say

[ArkansasFan1992]

I think the speaker is Mike Ross

[MagikalKraker]

I like how at 7:55 she doesnt know what to do, lawl

[QueenRobertine]

Can she create these thoughts out of her own head, or must she read directly from the script provided for her by the Tea Party??

[doire7]

Yes worry about the millions acorn spends instead of worrying about the trillions the military and bankers spend and america wonders why it's in this mess, unbelievable.

[snippy2]

@doire7 the problem facing this country is voter registration fraud... ok, sounds too stupid... then its gay marriage, no one buying that anymore... then Obama is going to round up all your guns... didn't happen, ETC ETC... when will middle and lower middle class Americans WAKE THE HELL UP and stop being distracted by NONSENSE. The corps, wallstreet, defense, for profit health care, and ultra wealthy individuals run this country... disparities are massive, middle class dying, no jobs. WAKE UP

[JoeZeon100]

i cant stand either, both are pathetic excuses for congressmen

[stepanstas]

Who's the speaker? He sounds great and professional. At first I thought CSPAN was interrupting the program.

[epigenomical]

Holee shit, that's one STUPID woman!

[mesaman1970]

Indictment and proven guilty by a jury of your peers are two very different things.

[boeingfan882]

what the hell did she say?

[blastemy]

To pm2543, Michele Bachmann would lead people to believe she is the reincarnation of McCarthy; however, Their lifetimes overlapped by almost 13 months (Michele Bachmann was born on April 6, 1956 and McCarthy died May 2, 1957). Even if reincarnation were real, they couldn't be the same soul, but they are definitely two peas from the same pod.

[00erb]

yo who is that hot girl with the yellow belt behind michelle

[thebig1]

They hate Bachmann because she gets things done. She is a true Reagan conservative who believes in the American spirit and that america is truely special among all other nations on earth. I donated to her reelection and hope she gets reelected.

[blastemy]

@thebig1 they hate her because she is a crazy stupid bitch and you are a fucking retard for supporting her. You can tell Sarah Palin I said retard. I can't stand that bitch either. By the way, what exactly has Bachmann gotten done? She hasn't gotten a single piece of legislation passed by Congress because everything she proposes violates some part of the constitution. She is a joke and an embarrassment to the democratic process. And you thebig1 are a fucking idiot for supporting her.

[thebig1]

@blastemy She has introduced many bills and amendments on the house floor you ignorant fool. One of the reasons none of them get passed is because SHE'S A REPUBLICAN AND SINCE SHE TOOK OFFICE IN 2006 THE DEMOCRATICS HAVE HAD HUGE MAJORITIES. Think alittle my misimformed friend!!!

[AccordionTheif]

@thebig1 Caps lock is cruise control for correct

[jarcar202]

nothing to do with FOX news... look at the guy for crying out loud and try to keep a straight face!!!!

[5837654932]

You don't know squat about Acorn

There are many good groups out there and acorn is not one of them and they are under investigation for buying votes.

Another thing cut the race card crap because many and I mean many white people voted for President Obama not just black people.

There are black and white dems and white and black replubs.

People like you love to keep this crap going but many of us have moved on and are making our lives better. Stay in your world of hate see how far it gets you.

[rachelsOne]

Yeah according to the crybabies at fox.

[5837654932]

you go woman

tell them to stop buying votes

[rachelsOne]

Shut the fuck up and do your school work homeschooler. U don't even understand the purpose of this bill.

If u knew the law it's Innocent " UNTIL "Proven" Guilty. How many theiving l;ying Repub are indicted and keep nworking taking taxpayer dollars?

[5837654932]

For your information I am 52 years old and you have a nasty mouth.

I know plenty about the bill and whether I am white or black makes no difference because we are all AMERICANS. The good the bad and the ugly.

I see you like Barney Frank

While you are on utube

Type in Barney Frank fannie mae and freddie mac or the dems knew about fannie mae

It was on cspan and they were asked by repubs to regulate fannie mae and freddie mac back in 2004 and he and other dems said no.

[rachelsOne]

Why don't u type in: "I'm a disillusioned white afraid of anything different" and watch a photo of YOU pop up LOL.

[doktorrevshaw]

wheres the rest?

[usucdik]

She claims to be for the people, or whatever, but she is pulling an "oratory sleight of hand" herself by appealing to emotion and nothing else. There was no substance, and she is clearly showing that her true intentions are that she is out to get a single organization rather than make fair rules.

There are so many like her that need to get the hell out of any decision making process for America, and hopefully people are becoming aware of this, as I recently have.

[rachelsOne]

Bachman constantly panders to disilluioned whites but what does she do for poor whites? NOTHING except ridicule that they don't have jobs or money.

[Ovito85]

is this their jobs? Talk for 15 mins a day?

[elzosmid]

Looney bat Bachmann is so fixed on Acorn, that she doesn't realise how this amendment will hurt thousands of organisations incl. those ran by her rightwing conservative friends.

[Glenn666]

@elzosmid Your so fixed on right vs. left that you cant figure out the up and down of conservative vs. progressive.

[knetterrrr]

@Glenn666

huh? explain please

[Glenn666]

@knetterrrr Elzosmid arguement was simply a left vs. right. Elzomid fails to recognize the difference between progressivism and consertavism or the "up and down" part of the political spectrum. Arguing left and right solves nothing, it hasn't for the last 100 years and insulting Bachmann over it really is wasn't really helping either.

[Lamarmusizz]

Like Bush got voted two Terms yeah

[jstock2317]

do you think she realizes how stupid she is? its kind of interesting to know if she does

[chrisgalizia]

The Gental woman from minisotta is a whack job I yield the balance of my time oh I dont have to because we have more representatives

[jgrover78]

The Gentleman from Massachusetts is a bona fide loser. I yield the balance of my remaining character count.

[tripit88]

Hang in there Michelle, make them tow the line, and thank you.

[pn2543]

yep, keep on 'towing' that line of bull you been towing for the moonbat RNC (Rush Newt Cheney) party Michele, let us know when you hit the shore!

[potion27]

HMMM, all I have to say is, "Mark Jacoby and the Young Political Majors".
