Barney also says that some people must be living in a parallel universe where health insurance companies are always doing the right thing for people.

5. What kills me
Is that those on the right (specificly the talk show hosts) scream WHY WON'T THEY ANSWER US? What are they afraid of? Yet Barney Franks FINALLY does and now its OOOHHH the big mean old liberal picking on those people and attacking them. Just WHAT did he say that wasn't true? Ya wanna debate fine, you want to discuss the issue again FINE. You want to shout and talk over people and try and intimidate people? GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!! I agree with him if all you want to do is scream and not listen the the answer then I have no need for you. PERIOD!!

It's because they really don't want to discuss it they are right and we are wrong plain and simple but BBBZZZ wrong answer..

2. Nothing to defend. And...
...nothing to apologize for, either.

Stay away from Fox, Barney. They suck.

3. Local Fox News stations not so biased
In my limited experience, the local Fox stations aren't at all like the national Fox "News" operation. In fact, my local Fox News station is somewhat pro-gay. I know this because I volunteer with our local GLBT PAC and have communicated directly with the station and they have always shown us considerable favor over the crazy, homophobic County Commissioner whenever he spouts off some hateful bull shit.

6. Good onya, Barney!
And no apologies for taking up all the time. He got his own message out there, and kept the interviewer from making political hay for his masters.

:applause: Well done! :applause:

7. How about the rude, selfish, shouters at the meeting apologize to Barney and to all of the decent,
well-mannered people who have to put up with the loud obnoxious bullies? When is Fux or any of the M$M outlets going to ask for those apologies?!
