  • Interesting Barney Frank quote in the description.

    You know what else gets in the way of rational discussion?

    Trying to lie about what you did when everyone just saw proof that you did something.

  • barney got f*ckin owned

  • These comments are terrible. frank is a criminal

  • Bill O'Reilly is such a tool...

  • You would need 5 fact checkers to point out all Barney Frank's lies in just this interview alone.

  • Barney Frank is a idiot and him and chris todd are the main reason for the housing crisis

  • O'Reilly you are a moron.

  • @diegochilecruzado NO, Frank is a moron.

  • In Barney Franks words ""Going Forward is gonna be swell". GUILTY.

  • Omg everyone that thinks barney frank is a good honest man you have your heads shoved up your ass so far that you don't know what's true and what's bull shit Barney frank is a lier! Bill O'rielly puts out facts and if you think otherwise your a dumbass. Oh and Obama is NOT going to get re-elected.

  • @ilovesppl2013

    O'reilly puts out facts? HAHAHAHA Thank you for the laugh.

    O'reilly is the biggest joke to mankind. My fucking dog is brighter than this guy. I taught him how to go shit outside. O'reilly probably still shits on the floor, inside.

  • @ThroatyHerois Atleast your dog didn't make an huge bubble which made alot of people poor, and make the market unstable. In such sense. Barney frank is below ur dog?

  • @larsiemannen

    Indeed, he is :P

  • @ThroatyHerois I don't trust any politicians. That's why I like RPaul. Or any politicians who want us, the people, who relate with each others without govt. Call me old fashion. But it works!

  •  "BLARNEY" frank?

  • Bill owned this guy

  • @buddacafe ಠ_ಠ If you consider ranting on like a imbecilic child to be "owning someone." O'Reilly has his head so far up his ass that he wouldn't see a fact if it hit him in the face. The fact that you actually buy the shit that he peddles is disconcerting. It shows that there are people in this country that are truly and utterly ignorant. If you think that O'Reilly had the upper hand in the argument, you're very mistaken. The only real defense he has is to yell louder to drown out his guests.

  • @DasherFlame9 You are so much of a stupid fucking idiot ! For once O'Reilly is right taking up for stupid cock suckers like you and that all your slave , tax tool ass can do is put him down for it? He stood up to Washington NWO scum and called him out for what he is . I am glad you are a stupid american paying taxes for Barney Frank's homosexual call businesses and brothels!!

  • @jjj255able ಠ_ಠ The New World Order? Really? Listen, Washington is fucked up, but if you're using crackpot conspiracy theories like that to support that point, you've got some other problems (namely, paranoid delusions). And paying taxes makes someone a "tool" or a "slave"? Do you not realize that taxes are essential part of maintaining a society? Taxes are a sign that were taking a stake in the welfare of the society we live in. By contributing a fraction of what we earn to the government...

  • @jjj255able ... whose job is not only to enforce the law but also to ensure for the general welfare of the society, we enter into a "Social Contract" with everyone else in that society. If you take taxes, amongst other things like a well-monitored police force, military, or just government in general, every man will end up protect their property by whatever means necessary (i.e. injury or murder). Also, do you really believe B. Frank owns gay brothels? ಠ_ಠ Again, paranoid delusions...

  • He didn't say it was a good investment. O'Reilly is out of line. A boor is EXACTLY what he is. That's why he appeals to so many Americans. Frank kept it together magnificently, considering.

  • Frank-1 O'Reilly- -2 (For being a loud child).

  • rizzoli and isles brought me here

  • These two clowns are fucking losers...O'reilly and Frank, true scumbags, both of them.

  • O'Reilly-1 Frank-0

  • Bill O'dickhead

  • Bill is a loudmouth liar. Barney clearly stated that it was not a good investment. Bill cut that part of the video out and skipped it in his so-called quote. It was Bill's intent to mislead the sheeple of the world that are too stupid to watch the original video for themselves.

    Bill is just a run of the mill lying christian. Christians lie and deceive.

  • @truthhurtschristians So do you jerkwad

  • Wow. How does O'Reilly have any credibility with anyone when he acts like such a child? Frank was not "bitchslapped" in this clip. It's clear than O'Reilly is out to demonize Frank and knowing that he's expert at rational, cogent debate, he avoids actual discourse and opts instead to shout, name-call, put words in his mouth and then cut the feed. Typical cowardly, vicious and low-brow O'Reilly. Sad

  • @evanhickam It's an opinionated show and it just so happens a lot of people watch it. Maybe if he was a Dem he wouldn't get so much flack.

  • love it when oreilly nails these libs

  • did anybody watch the video, anybody know whats going on? or is everybody just insulting o reilly because they think theyre supposed to? if you actually fucking listen, ol barney gets bitch slapped. he has no clue what hes saying.

  • @AnE000002 We all saw that O'Reilly intentionally left out parts of Frank's statement. Frank did say that it was NOT a good investment and dumb ass, lying O'Reilly left that part of his statement out to make it look like he said something else. That's par for the course on O'Reilly's show. You have to be either stupid or a jackass to agree with Bill.

  • @truthhurtschristians @truthhurtschristians Wrong. He said they were "fundamentally sound", "not in danger of going under, not the best investments these days........but prospects moving forward are very solid and we are going to do things that are going to improve them." I left out Barney's blubbering. He admitted there were problems, but reassured people that things were going to improve and the companies would stabilize. That's not telling people it's a bad investment.

  • @AnE000002 Are you serious? Misrepresentation 101! If he wanted to give the impression that this was a good investment, why the hell would he say anyinthg about it not being the best investment? When he was talking about future prospects, it was obvious he was conveying that he was optimistic that things were going to improve. That is basically saying their not very good, but not complete sh*te either. To read from that "go buy share now!" you got to lack some key comprehensions abilities.

  • @AnE000002 Secondly, what do you think would have happened to the share prices, if he of all people would have actually said that this was a bad investment, and he was pesimistic about the future prospects? What do you think that would have done to their chances of succeeding? Anyone who understands English can gather that "not the best" means "not particularly good", and not "almost the best". And "going to improve" means "get better" and not "going to soar". Is English your first language?

  • @jaxeedcom Some people lack the ability to make such distinctions. They are easily confused.

  • i wanna smash barney franks mushmouth with a brick.

  • geex. Was this filmed with a hammer?

  • america lol

  • Two liars arguing with each other.

    How drawl.

  • LOL Americans are stupid fucks.

  • O'Reilly is acting similar to an ignorant man who allows emotions to get in the way of logic this is why Moderates and Independent Voters do not follow his lead... However, Barney is wrong for BULLSHITTING about not saying that moving forward would be solid [0.53] and Bill got mad, yet Bill ranting makes him look illed-intelligent and made Barney the winner. Bill should have handled it more professionally and in doing that he would have made Barney look like a liar and hypocrite.

  • OH YES!

  • Telle Tubbies!

  • O'Reilly was right then and he is right now. Both parties have screwed this nation financially in to the ground. Who can fix it? I don't know but one thing is for sure, it AIN'T gonna be Barney Frank, Christopher Dodd, and Christopher Cox.

  • Barney Frank is so full of crap. He tells Bill that his manliness stuff is unbecoming of him. My guess most mens manliness is unbecoming to Frank. Thank God he is gone.

  • *watches video of fight* Gee, this is funny! I wonder what the comments say?

    *look at comments* -_- more arguing? lol

  • I remember watching this live, as it was happening on television. It was epic.

  • Barney Frank is gay but Bill O'Reilly admitted to owning a vibrator that he put in his rectum. That is gay too.

  • Where do these talking head pundits get off screaming at a United States Congressman like that. Barney is an elected official and is doing you (Bill) a favor by coming on your show. You can disagree with him, but your lack of bearing, respect and professionalism is absolutely uncalled for. But then again, I would expect nothing less from Fox.

  • Franks is so stupid He really believes what He is saying.Maybe we need Him again presiding over financial concerns..NOT!

  • In his sleep, Barney Frank is smarter than the Fox News Raving Lunatics, in this case, O'Reilly.

  • @ftworthxxx:

    Agreed. And O'Reilly is a demagogue, an outright liar, and a flaming hypocrite. Faux Noise provides NO dissenting voices as any bona fide news organization must and does. Keep in mind, Roger Ailes was the communications director (propagandist) for Nixon, Ford, Reagan, and Bush, Sr. He planned as far back as the 1970s to stage a right-wing "news," a right-wing Pravada on air if you will, to broadcast fact-free Republican Party propaganda. Under Murdoch, Ailes has achieved his goal.

  • I wonder why the old faggot Frank is leaving congess? LOL!

  • Its not Franks dealings its the banks that charged poor people variable rates on homes that they could not pay went the rate went up!

  • Bill O'Reilly is such a fucking word twisting cunt fuck, I hope his family gets raped by Democrats who have AIDS, and that he dies in a terrible car accident, and then burns in hell for the rest of eternity.

  • @NyMetzfan89

    You are entitled to your own opinion but not your own facts. Frank & Dodd feathered THEIR nests with Fannie/Freddie TAXpayer dollars. Thats my money and yours. BO'R may be a little aggressive but HE'S not the one lyin...or stealing.

  • O'Reilly was a classmate with my brother-in-law.

    He should be where my brother-in-law is now....not among the quick.

  • WHY IS YOUTUBE GRAY?!?!?

  • @ahmadhamad It's getting on in years.

  • you guys realize o'reilley just acts like such a loudmouth for the ratings.

  • why do u guys just ignore the fact that frank is just as much a dick as o'reilly

  • Fucktards that accuse Bill for being a dick and an idiot obviously need to do their homework. Barney Frank basically stole money from people who put their money into these two banks when they collapse. He just ran away with all the money and is now pretending he had nothing to do with it.

  • The only fact that Bill utters is "Both parties are at fault"

  • More proof positive that Bill is a dick.

  • I think a lot of the comments are ignoring O'Reilly's poor tactics. Say all you want about Barney lying, but yelling at him doesn't cast anything in a good light. Bill would be much more effective if he allowed for replies, seemed respectful, anything besides screaming in his face. It really is quite sad.

  • @LukeShearin in most cases i would agree, but in the case of barney frank? no, barney frank is notorious for talking his way out of stuff, he would get away with alot of b.s. if o reilly didnt yell so hard he nearly blew a vein. i agree though, bill isnt ordinarily your ideal talkshow host, not everyone wants to hear a shouting match, and thats usually what they get on here.

  • It's funny how Frank resorts to name calling and beating around the bush like every other liberal. I wish politicians would just give straight answers. O'Reilly at least backs up his facts, despite not letting others answer him until he's done talking. Frank is one of the worst liberals. Right next to Ed Schultz, who might as well be a Communist.

  • @lmhbelmont96 "YOU"RE A COWARD!" Yeah...that's not name-calling or anything.

  • @caysayfla Not when it's true...

  • "Your stupidity gets in the way of rational discussion".

    That's when he won the argument.

  • @meisema666 frankly, i dont care who "won the argument" everyone realizes bill is just a guy who talks over people, im a republican and even i realize that. what you must realize is that he exposed a man who stole money and who ordinarily can talk his way out of it brilliantly. he didnt get that chance on here precisely because bill can match his ability to talk over people. the only relevant factor here is that he exposed a fraud.

  • @aeorta5 Excuse me? What I NEED to realize? I don't NEED to realize anything. I can think for myself, thank-you. I'm quite aware of how fucked up the Government is. But if you want to point fingers on who's more corrupt it's not going to look well on Republican politicians.

  • @meisema666 i didnt say that it was, theres blame to go around. i just wanted you to realize barney frank is a fraud, agree or disagree.

  • @aeorta5 Errr you haven't made me realize anything hun. I'm not as easily swayed as you might think.

  • @meisema666 LOL, yes, youve evaded my mind control. meddling kids keep thinking for themselves! i just hate it!

  • @aeorta5 Mhmm. Yes. I love how you think self influence is a negative quality.

    Because young, submissive, and unquestioning people are what formed this country.

    Your sarcasm is futile.

  • @meisema666 child, what sort of tangent are you on? i said barney frank is a fraud and you deduct that i think being influential makes you inherently evil. it doesnt, but hes still a fraud lol

  • @aeorta5 Well, no. Being influenced is not "inherently evil". Things can go either way, but as a rule of thumb, it's not very smart to listen to strangers on the internet. You can have your opinion, but I'm not going to oblige.

  • @meisema666 thats a good rule of thumb. the internet is a creepy place. stay classy.

  • @aeorta5 Touche.

  • O'Reilly = IDIOT ROFL.

  • the problem with congress? We have people like Barney trying to "regulate" all this shit.

    He's regulating F+F while his boyfriend is employed as an executive. No conflict of interest, apparently.

    A completely untrustworthy slug of a human being. People should have figured out he is untrustworthy when Barney got caught with a teen boy prostitution ring run out of his apartment. That was the fault of the Republicans, I think.

    Maybe he's joining the Jerry Sandusky defense team.

  • Barney Frank is so full of crap, its ridiculous. Do they not think we can look up what he says? He even lies out right. I hope he is brought up on charges once he retires!

  • lol he says he worked hard to put in the regulatory bill as if that was his biggest accomplishment only to watch them go bankrupt a few years later.

    Thanks Barney.

  • I can't stand Bill O'Reilly hatters. He steps up to the plate and takes on the government tycoons. Those that oppose this ought to have a giant red white and blue dick shoved up their ass! And you will probably like t too!

  • 'You blame everybody else! You're a coward!'

    Bill, who came up with Tiller the Baby Killer? Who has repeatedly defended Herman Cain's infidelities by blaming his accusers? Hmm...

  • @mw2000 meh, who cares about politicians marital affairs? i didnt care when clinton did it and i sure as shit wouldnt care when anyone else did it. its just an excuse to drive attention away from relevant topics like what they would do with the economy, energy, foreign policy etc. im tired of politics being treated as something so trivial as the tabloids you see checking out at the supermarket. leave their personal lives alone unless its relevant.

  • @aeorta5 I'm not talking about Cain or his affairs, I'm talking about Bill blaming the women who dared to come forward to accuse Cain, rather than blame Cain - the man who allegedly committed the sexual assault. Also, if a Presidential candidate is accused of sexual assault like Cain, that it business that the public needs to know.

  • This is why I hate Bill O'Reilly , Play it again Bill you piece of shit!

  • Bill O'Reilly is an a**hole.

  • We should be able to sue the state of Massachusetts for all the damage that he has done to the economy.

    Frank did everything he could in the years leading up to 2008. You can listen to him in 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007. Frank fully backed CRA and subprime mortagages.

    Frank is more responsible for the housing bubble and collapse than anyone. He cost us TRILLIONS.

  • I dont know what happend but everyone involed has to go just like my house.

  • BTW, I love how O'Reilly just cut him off. Hahaha...we gotta run!

  • Barney Frank is liable for his incompetence and corruption; however, if someone bought stock because B. Frank suggested to do so deserves to lose their capital. B. O'Reilly shouldn't have gone-off in the way he did, but...that's Billy-Boy.

  • Despite his speech impediment, Frank seems like a very intelligent man & has a great sense of humor, & was a true advocate for progressive issues. Now that he's retired, I'm going to miss hearing his news interviews. But it baffles me why he decided to go on Billo the Clown's show, when he should've been well aware that Billo would constantly try to talk over him & twist his words, as he does everyone else who disagrees with him.

  • @DontRepYourCity We'll prob get to see even more of him.

  • @DontRepYourCity you speak of barney frank as if he didnt steal money from taxpayers. bill may be a walking barrel full of fire and brimstone, but he didnt twist anything, he cited cold hard facts.

  • All liberals are cowards. Except the ones that keep their mouth shut stay hidden, but that sounds pretty cowardly as well hmmm...yep they are just flat out dumb asses

  • Haha Barney straight lies and u guys think that's okay? This fool was a congressman... Pathetic. @lingm04 rofl

  • Damn! I thought there was going to be gun play.

  • bill get's his ass handed to him! good work Mr. Frank!

    

  • just because barney sounds like a donkey doesn't mean he's an ass like bill.

    fuck bill.

    barney, you will be missed.

  • @noahkrawitz21 Barney Frank sounds like Daffy Duck. He isn't any smarter than him either.

  • Wow, Bill O'Reilly must be the most moronic person on the face of the planet. Barney hit it right on the head: He's too dumb to understand.

  • @GuvnahSean dont defend that cock sucker even if bill oreilly is a douche

  • @GuvnahSean are you fucking retarded. Barney Frank said Frannie and Freddie were sound, and in another soundbyte, he QUOTES: "Even if they do go down, the government won't bail them out." Which is obviously false.

  • Bill kick Barney's ass.

  • @DonCorleone87

    And mule apparently kick you in head.

  • @DonCorleone87 Bill kicks everyone's ass. On air and ratings.

  • Since the evidence came out today about Hank Paulson giving insider info about upcoming conservatership of Fannie and Freddie to his hedge fund buddies does anyone think this asshole will give that story as much intensity.

  • GO O'REILLY!!! FUCK YOU LIBERALS!!!

  • @TheCremdog

    Wow. Yes.

    Support the Right wing that constantly force you over and fuck you up the ass with a shredded glass dildo.

    An your response is "fuck you liberals".

  • @AngelXOsaze and we're supposed to support left wingers who want to drain us for every penny?

  • @bravehawk09

    Oh yes this will be fun.

    Please. Explain to me how the democrats want to "drain us for every penny".

    And explain to me how they want to take money for YOU especially. An it's safe to assume that you're either a teenager that's now starting to get into politics. Or you're a middle income worker private/public. Explain to me how the liberals plan to drain YOU personally.

  • Wow! Bill O'Reilly is a damn uninformed liar idiot!!

  • Bill really showed his ass in this interview. 

  • O'reilly is such a gigantic idiot. HIs idea of dialogue and doing an interview is to lead guests into some attack veiled as a question and then proceed to scream over them and not let them speak. I'm so glad Barney Frank called him out on it...

  • I liked this video... "Not the best investment, but it's not going to go under..." Lie!!! Lie!!! Lie!!! It went under dumby

  • I liked this video...

  • If you trade a stock based on what a politician, or any personality on TV, says then you deserve to lose every penny.

  • Thank God Fwank is now retiring. He should be in jail. But then, he'd enjoy that FAR too much.

  • So glad this guy is not running again. Name calling with substance - Bill. Name calling without anything to back himself up - Barney

  • @Danny2Lisa Are you kidding me? Name calling with substance? really...

  • @comicalaliensociety Yeah really, he calls him a coward for not taking responsibility (hence substance), while ol Barney simply calls him stupid (nothing to back himself up with). I really don't like O'Reilly, but Barney has done far worse.

  • Frank is a corrupt cocksucking liar and malfeasant. His departure from Congress is cause for jubilation among all decent Americans.

  • Bill O'Reilly, the biggest coward in the history of television.

  • Finally this scumbag is going to be out.

  • Thank God Frank is finally going to be out of congress. He's a total piece of human feces.

  • Go O'Reilly.! This guy is full of it.

  • What did you record this with, your asshole?

  • Barney Frank was absolutely deaf to his own words. Good riddance with him.

  • Bill is a blow hard with zero respect to his guests.....he sucks

  • @volcomordy Who are you, One of Barney Frank's boyfriends?  O'Reilly is absolutely right. This guy is the biggest liar of all time. He should be exterminated not respected.

  • seems to me that Franks speaks from a fact base and O'Reilly is playing the tough guy for his audience. O'Reilly comes in with his agenda to prove he has Republican balls yet just looks like an actor saying his lines. I hear them, but there is no authenticity.

  • @powens151

    Another moron. FACTS! I heard some of what he said. I think there is some parts on youtube. Frank is a theif and he lies constantly.

  • Barney is a flat out liar

  • @skhill1963 You are right. I don't think I have ever heard him tell the truth

  • America's two biggest mistakes.

  • this idiot Barney Frank said that the stock was "FUNDAMENTALLY SOUND" and even said it was a "WISE INVESTMENT" why is this fool retreating from that point saying that Bill was misrepresenting his words? He's a liar, a con man, and deserves to be in jail.

  • I think they should fight to the death.

  • Bye bye Barney. To bad it took this long!!

  • oreilly is a jerk using mindless discussion tricks to keep anything important from being said...this is why he can talk to one of the great minds in america and "not lose"

  • Oh Happy Day! Barney Frank will be out in January 2012!

  • "That is why your stupidity gets in the way of rational argument" - hahaha!!!

  • He's retiring because he has aids.

  • Barney Frank will be gone in 2012. Thank Goodness!!!!

    I'm going to lift a glass of champagne at 1pm during the press conference.

  • Barney Quitting??? Haaappy  Dazzee are here again!

  • No, Bawny Fwank didun do nuffin wong O'Wiwey, you wascoowy wabbitt !

  • Wow Bill is such an asshole.

  • "No, this is where your stupidity gets in the way of rational discussion." Haha, someone finally says it.

  • Bill O'Reilly total c**t dont believe his lies, and yes he and manny others are responsible for manipulating and morally f**king America.

  • I can't stand people hating Bill O'Reilly for this. I'm not a big fan of O'Reilly either but if you listen to what he said to Barney Frank. He tells Barney Frank that Chris Cox was man enough to admit responsibility and Barney Frank blames everyone else. Bill O'reilly was right and Barney Frank was wrong. Barney Frank is the dumb guy. Anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot.

  • @job1785 Ive pointed out: love or hate him Bill O'Reilly has not been the one who screwed this country up, but Barney Frank is a good contributor to that. And he keeps getting re elected ? Please, he wouldn't last 15 minutes in the private sector. Whine all you want about Bill, it was Frank that helped get us into this mess that Oabam is always complaining about.

  • @CaptainSpauIding I think you misunderstood what I said lol. That is exactly what I said. Fuck Barney Frank.

  • @job1785 good someone gets it. They whine about Bill, but ultimately Bill didnt get us in the shitter like Barney Frank did, and they keep electing this incompetent idiot. Fannie Mae is wanting another huge bailout , nice going Barney !

  • @CaptainSpauIding Actually he was handed the mess, by the time he got in there in 2007 the majority of the mess had already been made. It is kind of hard to patch a dam when water is poring out of every crack. I am not saying that Mr. Frank is perfect, but in this case he was handed a lemon.

  • @Bigfootnate he was in control of making the mess way before 2007. He was not handed shit, he made ths shit. Quit defending incompetent people like this, it's sad. 

  • @CaptainSpauIding He was part of the committee yes, but he was not only one to blame, people on both sides of the fence supported the legislation that led to this. The fact is he was put in charge of the committee right when it was set to fail.

  • @Bigfootnate keep defending incompetent idiots, it shows what kind of person you are. Youve never held a job with much responsibility, if you had...you'd know you cannot screw up like this and not be unemployed.

  • @CaptainSpauIding I never put you down personally, you do not know me, and I think that your assessment of my opinion is an unfair judgement of my character. As stated he is not the only one to blame, there were those on both sides. If you are going to pass judgement do so on all involved, not just on one individual.

  • @Bigfootnate you obviously have not read or researched what Barney Frank did.

  • @CaptainSpauIding Obviously, you did not read what I wrote correctly, I did not say he is not at fault, but he is not the only one, the fault and blame can be pointed at both sides of the fence, not just one man....

  • @Bigfootnate:

    Never mind CaptainSpaulding. He is an illiterate racist, a high school dropout, a virgin (with women, anyway), and a moron. I disagree with you about apportioning blame to Frank. The economic meltdown is the fault of the Republican policies re: the Holy Market. Liberals conceded to Republicans' political power plays for deregulation, the central cause of the meltdown. Let us note that the Republican policies are responsible for three economic crises: 1929, S&L 1987, and 2008.

  • @Bigfootnate:

    As a racist and a bigot, CaptainSpaulding always uses the ad hominem (personal attack) logical fallacy. That is because he has no knowledge of the facts. If you point out the facts, he will accuse you of being a "paraplegic," or some other such marginalized person. Then he will engage in juvenile but disgusting anti-disabled/racist hate speech. He is in this way a very typical right-winger: ignorant, bigoted, cowardly, uninformed, bigoted, and racist.

  • @Bigfootnate:

    Sir, let me point out the facts. It was the Republican Party that has, since 1980, demanded and won deregulation of nearly all of the Democratic laws regulating the markets since the Depression of the 1930s. Frank, Clinton, and other liberals bowed to REPUBLICAN pressure, an all too common phenomenon. But the ideology, the malfeasance, and the disasters are ALL Republican. Remember 1929, S&L 1987, and 2008: lack of regulations and gross accrual of wealth to the top 1 percent.

  • @MrAngemystere The problem is that regulations made at the federal level, other then those to protect ones civil liberties, are unbending to individual state needs. This can and has had a very devastating effect on our country. When you think of deregulating you are thinking that it is an open door policy for mayhem when it is not. If you deregulate at the federal level, and allow the states to model regulations over the need for their state you get a more stable system...

  • @Bigfootnate and a more fair and balanced system for that state. I think the problem is with both sides and they both led to this, they gave Freddy and Fanny abilities they should not have, which when trickled down became more and more corrupt. Having everything regulated at the federal level meant it took longer for this to be detected and the losses to stop. Franks did want to make home ownership something that even those in the poor class could obtain, which is nice...

  • @Bigfootnate but not if they are being approved for something that they can never afford...

  • @Bigfootnate:

    Sir, Greenspan himself debunks the F&F myth as outright rubbish, nothing more than a modern version right-wing Germany's Dolchstoßlegende. From 2004-07, private investment banks — not F&F— dominated the mortgage loans packaged and sold in the secondary mortgage market. In 2005 -06, the private sector securitized almost two thirds, TWO THIRDS, of all U.S. mortgages, utterly supplanting F&F.

    Sir, either learn the facts or don't post. Spare us the laughable right-wing propaganda.
