Barney Frank responds to town hall idiot:: "On what panet do you spend most of your time?"
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/08/19/barney-frank-confronts-wo_n_262682.html


At a Barney Frank town hall meeting in Dartmouth, MA, a constituent asks, "Why are you supporting this Nazi policy?"

Frank responds: "On what planet do you spend most of your time?"


He then calls her approach "vile, contemptible nonsense." He closes by saying: "Trying to have a conversation with you would be like arguing with a dining room table."

2. Truth to power, Barney!
This is exactly what needs to be said to these idiots. If they really believe this crap they're saying, they shouldn't be allowed out in public. Anyone that stupid should have a responsible guardian with them at all times.

3. Which demonstrates the paucity of apt rejoinders by our fellow chicken Democrats.
Not many have the nads to tell off a stupid bitch like he did.
:grr:

6. Maybe he will encourage more candor on the part of Dems in TownHalls: "what planet ...?" I love it!
This is too important a matter to put up with idiocy. Identify it as such and move on.

4. This is likely the most honest man in the Senate.
He was forced to be honest 21 years ago, and he's made the best of it. I love this video, but felt he was much too gentle with the twit, while recognizing he has more cojones than all of Congress put together.

7. He's not in the Senate, he's in the House
But he's got balls of steel. I wish we could clone Barney. :)

5. I applaud Mr. Frank
for his comments! The dining room table comparison just cracked me up, but sadly in this girls case, a true statement.
