The Town Hall Health Care Crazies are still out in full force, disrupting and hijacking these events and putting elected officials on the hot seat. But not at Rep. Barney Frank's gathering in Massachusetts Tuesday night. Frank, the biggest bad ass in Washington, issued a glorious and long-overdue smack down of some fringe lunatic who compared President Barack Obama's health-care reform to the policies of Nazi Germany.
..."My question to you is, why do you continue to support a Nazi policy?" the woman asked Frank.
"On what planet do you spend most of your time?," an incredulous Frank rhetorically replied, indignantly adding "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....Trying to have a conversation with you would be like trying to argue with a dining room table. I have no interest in doing it."
Bravo, Barney. Frank's our new Congressional hero. It's about time someone stood up to these belligerent, ignorant freaks and simply told them to fuck off. He's the only politician so far who's refused to dignify this hate-filled, incendiary nonsense with a reply. I'm sorry, but these Town Hall meetings are not a forum of entitlement, where vile rebel-rousers have an inalienable right to bitch-slap politicians and waste their time with inflammatory crazy-speak. What Frank did today was poetic justice and should be a lesson-learned for other politicians facing these angry mobs of malicious misanthropes.
Larry Summers, a key part of the new Obama administration is the single key orchestrator of the de-regulation of banking which caused the rest of the financial crisis. The track record of those in power are absolutely absymal. Of course we should be concerned and of course Barney Frank should address the issues. There is every reason to believe that it is possible that these people can utterly destroy this country and that actually, judging by their track record, they most likely will unless poeple stand up.
These morons think they are being forced to live in socialism, fascism...yet they don't know the meaning of the words. They are lucky they live in one of the freest democracy in the world.
you are a dining room table.
