Barney Frank: The Original Original Gangster (VIDEO)

By now most of you have seen the video of Barney Frank schooling a woman at a Dartmouth, MA health care town hall who asked him why he is "supporting this Nazi policy." It was pretty special, and it reminded us that Frank is not only to be watched, but feared a little.

Jon Stewart gave him some snaps, and the Internet has already given birth to a Frank-inspired meme, but we at HuffPost Comedy decided to cover this event in our own way: A tribute rap video. We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed this.

None of you people who aren't of color, will never understand what it's like to be black! I am not black, but my smart, handsome, well-educated husband, whether it be book sense or street smarts, is. He has it both! We continue to go through challenging days and nights of the forever on-going taunts and smirks of racsiums and we are just sick and tired of it!! All be it my husband Doc, is a highly reguarded and respectable man, sometimes he just wants to let it all come out and scream to the world that it's time to start behaving like adults and being who you are despite the color you were given by GOD. So yes, I say our President cannot REALLY be who he is because of people like you!!

I am pretty sure that questioner was a plant. One big clue: she didn't know Barney Frank was Jewish! you just don't use the term Nazi around Jews, or you are going to get a question as a response to your question.

Naw, the questioner was STUPID. . . ignorant of what she was saying; ignorant of the history; ignorant of the implications. She was just plain stupid.

As someone who lived through the radio rantings, lies, fabrications and distortions of the McCarthy Era, it is absolutely required that someone stand up finally....no, the media were shrinking violets during that era too...and call a lie a lie, a fabrication something worthy of another planet and finnally ask all who have fallen in behind the fiction writers and our Aussie Media Mogul if they are not, at long last ashamed?

Differences have always defined our Nation. Some, like those of Hamilton and Adams, were superb.
Hamilton, in the Federalist Papers, strongly put forward the case for a Constitution that he did not entirely agree with. What has, at times, brought shameless behavior, violence and the unspeakable carried out at night... needs only one man to stand up to counter its evils. Silence is always an affirmation. If an obvious fiction is treated as worthy of consideration, unchallenged by our silence then it will grow. The McCarthy Core never left the base of the Republican Party. It cast its pall over Eisenhower Years, it diminished its Dirksons. It still reigns and still uses the old devices.... and rants "I have here a list......" and destroys by innuendo.

Love it ... if more leaders were this direct we would have a great country ... and he did not create the economic melt down, we all did. If you need to blame someone, it would be an unregulated Wall Street.

[Brine52]

No,sir. He was responsible for the economic meltdown. It was Frank, Dodd, Meeks, and later, BHO that all opposed any regulations on Fannie or Freddie. The Bush Administration attempted early on to reign in the irresponsible and criminal organizations. Further, Andrew Cuomo threatened lawsuits against banks that didn't play by the new rules.

Barney Frank is an immoral, wise-assed gasbag. I'm not sure of any legislation he has worked on that didn't serve to transfer power to the feds.

Sorry to disillusion you but-----------

It was the last administration who 'persuaded' the SEC not to do it's job. And thus we got Maddoff and his scheme back in '08 - along with the meltdown on Sept.15, 08. when I do believe the current POTUS was still on the campaign trail. By the end of '08 this country was in free fall. A gentleman by the name of Markapoulis, on his own dime (he has since been offered a job working for the SEC but so far hasn't accepted), tried to warn the SEC on numerous occasions, of numrous bad practices -and was given the brush off.

Google it!!

Why? Because you said so?

It is all in your head. I have a feeling you also believe that the earth is flat like the rest of your herd.

I can see all the steam coming out of your o.r.i.f.i.c.e.s, and it is t.o.x.i.c.
