This Youtube video of Barney Frank at a town hall is going
viral.

When he asked the nitwit, "On what planet do you spend most

to that question. ;-)

No, but I know on what planet Barney wishes his, er, head was at...fortunately
for you, your head is already firmly planted there...

And FWIW, while it might look good to you Obamaniacs (and, um, frankly, I agree
with ol' Barn about these nuts), it wasn't a shining moment for him or the Dems,
given the setting and context. He should have either politely rebuffed her or
just ignored her altogether - even those there to bitch at him booed her - and
he would have looked more like a reasonable Rep (which, generally speaking, he
is) rather than a somewhat prissy smartass sissy (which, generally speaking, he
can be, just generally speaking, not in public). The anger and (fully
justified) suspicion over all this "health care reform" shtick is real, and ****
like "Bawnee Fwrank tells 'em off" doesn't help...

And the bloat in the various versions being put forth sure as hell doesn't help
- WTF does road construction and farmer's markets have to do with (supposedly)
getting health care to those who (supposedly) have none?

It was nice to see a Dem with the stones to call the nitwit spew
"vile, contemptible nonsense" because that is precisely what it
is. And I think it does help to speak the truth in the face of
irrational, fear-mongering lies. Not only does it help, it is
absolutely necessary. Standing in front of a angry mob looking
like a gobsmacked, deer in the headlights (Arlen Specter) doesn't
help anything, that's for sure.

What "stones" does it take to do that? It was just a stupid thing to do in such
a setting.

And I think it does help to speak the truth in the face of irrational, fear-mongering
lies. Not only does it help, it is absolutely necessary.

No, it isn't. It isn't even somewhat prudent. She wouldn't have converted
anyone to her cause had he let her ramble on for 5 minutes, but by acting in a
way that plays into the "middle America" (in US terms) stereotype of a northern
liberal smartass Jew queer, he _potentially_ damaged his own.

Standing in front of a angry mob looking like a gobsmacked, deer in the
headlights (Arlen Specter) doesn't help anything, that's for sure.

And being as full of **** as a Christmas goose (Arlen Specter) doesn't do much
for "the cause" either...and being a sorry lying sack of **** (Dodd, Kennedy)
kinda tinges things, too...

The problem is that "health care" doesn't really need reforming, insofar as the
services themselves are concerned, it's the payment systems (really, the "wealth
redistribution" associated with "health care") that need a complete
top-to-bottom overhaul...unfortunately, not many folks are gonna like what it
would take to really fix the situation...

I didn't watch the video - I avoid listening to BF-the-condescending-asshole
at all costs. Just remember, he's much smarter than you and anyone you know.
Just ask him. He stays in office because he has a "D" next to his name and
he's in Massachusetts; he has no redeeming value.

You're probably right. Barney Frank is smarter than me and

Um, and while I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with your premise, FWIW, there's a
good chance he's right, insofar as Congress is concerned - his intellect is
well-respected by staffers (and for as long as he has been in, that's a
****potfull of know-it-all smartass recent grads), and he's been voted the
"smartest" Congressman. Whatever you feel about him personally or his politics,
give the man his due - he's pretty smart, esp when compared to much of the
Congressional competition....

And I'll take him and give you points that he's damned sure smarter than someone
who a) follows Lyndon DaDouche, and, b) carries around a picture of
Obama-as-Hitler...

Barney Frank dismisses anyone who disagrees with him (and even many who do)
as a fool. That doesn't mean there aren't some fools in the bunch, but not
everyone qualifies.

I'm not putting forth that Mr. Frank is not smart - he is. He's also an
arrogant son-of-a-bitch who *knows* he's got a keener view of the truth than
everyone else - regardless of the facts. I mean, saying something like
"These two entities - Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac - are not facing any kind
of financial crisis. The more people exaggerate these problems, the more
pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of
affordable housing" doesn't seem like something that makes him wizard-smart
in hindsight, does it? I'd say, as Financial Services Committee Chairman, it
even makes him dangerous.

I like the guy and I laughed out loud when he told the nitwit that
arguing with her would be like arguing with the dining room table.

But you somehow seem to have the ability to read the man's mind and
know what he's thinking about everyone else. That is a real talent and
I would never argue with a man who has that particular talent.

Exactly. It is truely amazing how so many of these know nothing/say no-
to-everything/ coupon-clipping America Haters, who pretend to be
"conservatives" instead of getting treatment for their various
personality disorders, . . . want to build libraries and plant
monuments to such illustrious mental giants as toe-tapping dancer Tom
De Lay, Rev. Ashcroft, and Delusional Raygun, or make macho heroes out
of armchair bad-shot phonies like John Wayne, GW, and Dick-less
Cheney,... and cast moral paragons out of gambling addict Bennett, and
the patron saint of masochistic male prostitutes, Karl Rove and
classic angry pervert, Grover Norquist.

But, you know, I would defend to the last round the right of all the
phony "conservative" America haters to occupy any stall in any dirtbag
truck stop in this great country of ours, and their God Given right to
toe-tap any willing adult into any disgusting act or otherwise as
provided in the secret codicil of the new RNC platform. Just as long
as they leave the children, and the disabled alone, and pay their
condo fees on time. Which, once again proves that I am a tolerant
man.

. . . and I laughed out loud when he told the nitwit that
arguing with her would be like arguing with the dining room table.

But you somehow seem to have the ability to read the man's mind and
know what he's thinking about everyone else. That is a real talent and
I would never argue with a man who has that particular talent.

I don't have to be a mind reader to know what Barney Frank is thinking; he
says it for all to hear and his actions speak loudly. Again, I didn't watch
the video and don't intend to watch. You and Barney can have each other -
you're quite the deserving pair, almost soul brothers.

Why thanks, Timmmay. That's the nicest compliment you've ever

ummm, do you actually live in Congressman Franks' district?? If so, one hell

with him than you do. He must be one hell of a diligent fellow at district
service to get re-elected that many times.

I've read all your previous posts and I'd be interested in
your answer to this. All you've said is that Barney Franks
gets elected because he has a D behind his name, but you're
not talking about Dems and Republicans, and that the people
who vote for him are sheep. Are these sheep your neighbors ?

I have, Tim, and that's why I'm asking. I don't know, exactly, what part of

refer to my earlier post. If not, then your opinion holds about as much
weight as mine........

You're probably right. Barney Frank is smarter than me and
most anyone I know. Is there something wrong with that ?

Trust me, there's *absolutely* nothing wrong with that.

He stays in office because he has a "D" next to his name and
he's in Massachusetts; he has no redeeming value.
Smart people have no redeeming value and should not serve in
public office ?

Wow - that's quite a leep. Barney Frank is smarter than *everyone*, *in his
mind. A man that won't listen to anyone else because they are beneath him is
a dangerous man to have in power, especially when the sheep keep putting him
there. That's what you've got in Barney Frank.

Barney Frank is dangerous ? I like the idea of smart people
dismissing the fools as, well ..., fools. I don't think that's
dangerous at all, in fact it's a downright goddamn refreshing
thing to see in a politician. I'd much rather have a smart man
in office who is dismissive of fools than some mealy-mouthed
dumbass who panders to every idiot on the block.

Exactly. It is truely amazing how so many of these know nothing/say no-
to-everything/ coupon-clipping America Haters, who pretend to be
"conservatives" instead of getting treatment for their various
personality disorders, . . . want to build libraries and plant
monuments to such illustrious mental giants as toe-tapping dancer Tom
De Lay, Rev. Ashcroft, and Delusional Raygun, or make macho heroes out
of armchair bad-shot phonies like John Wayne, GW, and Dick-less
Cheney,... and cast moral paragons out of gambling addict Bennett, and
the patron saint of masochistic male prostitutes, Karl Rove and
classic angry pervert, Grover Norquist.

But, you know, I would defend to the last round the right of all the
phony "conservative" America haters to occupy any stall in any dirtbag
truck stop in this great country of ours, and their God Given right to
toe-tap any willing adult into any disgusting act or otherwise as
provided in the secret codicil of the new RNC platform. Just as long
as they leave the children, and the disabled alone, and pay their
condo fees on time. Which, once again proves that I am a tolerant
man.

no major point past the obvious......the only opinion that

One doesn't succeed at that without a pretty solid record of service to
those people, even in a 'solid' one-party district. Thus, I suspect, he
isn't nearly as dismissive in person as you seem to wish to paint him, or he
would not be where he is.

As most, he probably didn't start out that way. MA political positions are
pretty secure for "D" incumbents with any extended tenure. You'd have to
kill someone. . . oh, wait - that doesn't matter. BTW, I don't think much of
Maxine Waters either, but I realize she's outside of my district, so I guess
I don't have an opinion after all.

OK, so Barney Frank doesn't think too highly of you, Tom, and Ken...but you said
he isn't as smart as he thinks he is...do you see the contradiction here...?

Seriously, though, this all started because he was dismissive of a loon. While
not only will I grant you that it didn't help the overall Dem "health care/town
hall" cause(s), I will remind you that I said it did not, I will also suggest
that it may have been good "personal politics" for him on the local front. And
while he was - with _hindsight_ - wrong about Freddie and Fannie, he was, in
fact, right about how uninformed talk/"gossip" about a financial entity,
alleging it was suffering beyond the factual situation, could and likely would
cause harm. Look at what that idiot Schumer caused by running his yap.

IAC, Frank's support of Freddie and Fannie was due more to his philosophical
beliefs than any financial expertise. And I disagree with him on that belief,
but I don't see how that belief makes him not smart or indicates he is
dismissive of others...
