Transcript

Wingnut: Why do you continue to support a Nazi policy, as Obama has expressley supported this policy, why are you supporting it?

The Honerable Barney Frank: WHen you ask me that question, I am gonna revert to my ethnic heritage, and answer your question with a question. On what planet do you spend most of your time?...You want me to answer the question? As you stand there with a picture of the president defaced to look like Hitler, and compare the effort to increase health care to the Nazis, my answer to you is as I said before, it is a tribute to the 1st Amendment that this kind of vile contemptable nonsense is so freely propegated. Ma'am, trying to have a conversation with you would be like trying to argue with a diningroom table - I have no interest in doing it.

Some folks may not agree with his tone but he was right on. How can you have a coherent conversation with someone who so determined to paint President Obama as a Nazi?

Now watch how soon before Hannity and company attack Frank. How long will it be before One News Now and the rest of the religious right links his words to his lgbt sexual orientation?

While you're at it, count how many columns will be written at Town Hall attacking Frank for telling it like it is.

And lastly, if these things come to pass, note the strange dynamic of how some folks think it is alright to carry a loaded gun to an event where the President is speaking but somehow think that it's wrong to rightfully call someone out for being an idiot.

[and-justice-for-all]

17. I KNOW and I loved it!!!

What he wanted to say was "if you do not have anything intelligent to say or ask, sit down and shut the fuck up."

[Mythsaje]

3. Don't like Snark? Don't tangle with Barney.

Stupid assholes.

[EFerrari]

4. LOL!

:applause:

:rofl:

[donheld]

5. Barney taught'em how it should be done.

[bkkyosemite]

6. Now that's how it should be done...get right back in their face.

[Hippo_Tron]

7. That was amazing

"Ma'am trying to have a conversation with you would be like trying to have a conversation with a dining room table. I have no interest in doing it."

[bluestateguy]

8. That was like a scene out of the movie "Bullworth"

n t

[opihimoimoi]

9. I Loved it :o)

[patrice]

10. Yay! I hope that was as good for BF as it was for me!

There's no law that such idiotic bullshit deserves respect.

[Matariki]

11. Bravo Congressman!

"Ma'am, trying to have a conversation with you would be
like trying to argue with a diningroom table - I have no
interest in doing it."

:rofl:

more of this!

[lib_wit_it]

27. Well, yeah, except the dining room table would have more cogent points.

Absolutely no respect is due to these disrespectful, hysterical, narcissists. Fuck 'em. Everyone with any sense should be laughing right in their contorted, mad dog faces. They believe fervently in utter nonsense.

[Jennicut]

12. Don't fuck with Barney!

Excuse my language. }( But it was worth saying it.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

13. Barney Frank is teh awesome!

That will send me to sleep with a smile on my face!

Barney, I love you. I hope you make up with Colbert one day. :D

[SemiCharmedQuark]

14. Was that a LaRouche fan? And what the fuck was she talking about?

[nealmhughes]

15. I hope he said it with a Gore Vidal grin on his face!

All this "socialism" and "Nazi" and other nonsense, alongside the loaded firearms at public meetings are making the Birthers/Baggers/Birchers/Deathers look like utter fruit cakes to the advancement of the real Democratic Party. I guess a little Cigna and BCBS and Humana money goes a long way for increasing the crazy level, either that or it is very boring this time of the year, even though travel is dirt cheap even to Europe, much less to a hurricane free Gulf and Mayan Riviera to date. Or could it be a moderate Democrat who happens to have 50% genetic material originating from East Africa is POTUS?

[laughingliberal]

16. That was great!

I watched that video 3 times. It should be required viewing for all the democrats that are cowering to the RW's.

[Mixopterus]

18. Barney Frank, American hero

Credit to my state and the country.

[zbdent]

19. oh jeez ... now there's a setup for a punch line ...

"Barney Frank knows how to deal with nuts getting up in his face ..."

I'm sorry ... I couldn't resist ... :evilgrin:

[malaise]

20. Bwahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Why aren't they showing this onM$Greedia?

Barney Frank rocks

[daa]

21. Great example but two more

Senator Dole received a letter from an angry constituent with all kinds of swear words. Dole wrote on the top "Look what some idiot sent me and signed your name".

The other example was when I went to a town hall meeting with Speaker Gingrich (yeah he was my congressperson) and a lefty stood up huffy and talking loudly and the people started booing but Newt said wait a minute he has a right to speak and then took him apart.

No one can filibuster better than Barney expect maybe Charlie Rangel but i believe that was the best way. Let them ask some stupid bullshit and then take them apart.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

22. ...

:applause:

[ljm2002]

23. He struck just the right tone!!!

He did not yell or shout, no bulging veins, nothing like that. Just a straight up, truth-telling, slap-down. He took control of that exchange! It was a thing of beauty. Here's hoping he starts a trend.

[quiet.american]

24. Agree with his tone? Man, I slept with a smile on my face off that tone! nt

[MajorChode]

25. Does anyone else see the irony in that...

the most manly member of congress is also openly gay?

The US would be a much better place if we could get the rest of congress to grow a set of Barney sized balls.

[JCMach1]

26. saw it and- ***SNAP*** that was good

One of Barney Frank's finest moments...
