Barney Frank, Bill O'Reilly Face Off Over ACORN (VIDEO)

Congressman Barney Frank (D-Mass.) faced off against Bill O'Reilly tonight over ACORN and the scandal engulfing them. Despite recent meetings in which the debate between the two men became extremely heated, Frank and O'Reilly found much to agree on.

Frank told O'Reilly that he admired "the spirit" these two young journalists had in setting up their sting operation, however it's possible that they broke a Maryland law, and Frank, unlike O'Reilly, does not believe this should be dismissed out of hand simply because the journalists had good intentions.

O'Reilly: Nobody cares about the Maryland wiretap law. I want to know in spirit if you admire them.

Frank: I'm sorry, what an outrageous statement. What an outrageous statement for you to make: nobody cares about the Maryland wiretap law. I do care about the law. I'm an elected official.

O'Reilly: Well, you're a little eccentric there, Congressman, with all due respect.

One of the similarities to their earlier debates is Frank repeatedly scolds O'Reilly for not letting him finish speaking.
