Rep. Barney Frank Finally Debates The “Dining Room Table” Rachel Brown

Remember a few months back when Barney Frank told a woman at a town hall meeting that having a conversation with her “would be like trying to argue with a dining room table” (she had just compared President Obama to Hitler at the time)? If not, you can watch that video below. Since then, that woman, Rachel Brown, has become a candidate for Congress and Frank’s opponent in the Democratic primaries. So, yesterday, Frank was forced to finally have that conversation. In fact, he had a whole hour-long debate with her. It is still unknown whether he practiced on his tables at home beforehand.

Brown is still calling for Obama’s impeachment and still comparing him to Hitler (as her supporters showed last night). Frank attacked these comparisons in the debate as well as Brown’s other policies, including her support of a human colonization of Mars.

Yes, Rachel Brown is every crazy girl we ever dated in college. Which makes Barney Frank our sloppy roommate who got in fights with her. Check out the full debate below:

The original debate between Brown and Frank occurred in August, 2009 and can be seen below.

Barney Frank, Rachel Brown

Barney Frank may well be the most despicable man in Congress, although Henry Waxman runs a close second.

One thing about Rachael Brown, she sounds more like she is sane than Barney.

So… how are they going to blame the Tea Party and Glenn Beck for her?

A dining room table would be an improvement over Barney Frank. At least a dining room table couldn’t destroy our banking system.

That took guts, Ms Brown. I would not knowingly have gotton that close
to Barney Frank unless I was wearing a Full Body Bio Hazard Suit.
That is one repulsive human!

This is the same Barney Frank who was unaware that, his boyfriend at the time, was running an escort service out of Barney’s basement?

Inspiring.

Basil – this sentence makes perfect sense, or perhaps I should say cents. Take your pick.

Real nice, Barney. Have you forgotten the meaning of PUBLIC SERVANT? Seriously people, no more incumbents. If your senator has served more than two terms, VOTE HIM OUT!

she’s a credit-based globalist, LaRouche….wow she’s definitely somewhere

trying to figure out where it fits on the spectrum, skimmed over some LaRouche stuff, but it sounds like a global-fascist but it sounds so enchanting as socialism, seems too vague to be pigeon-holed. Maybe some sort of
hopeful-realist label along with human productivity as a collective.

This is bulllshit and more staged than professional wrestling. Barney Frank should be in jail. That he is debating a “LaRouche supporter,” the consummate tea bagger stooge at demonstrations, shows the Democrats are desperate to paint their opposition as fringe. There are good arguments proving Democratic corruption, and this woman will not make them. Instead, she will drag out every strawman argument employed by the left while her political ventriloquist dandles her on their knee. This demonstrates the contempt our ruling class has for the populace and the inefficiency of the national GOP for not being more committed to claiming scalps in these midterm elections. If Brown could take the old Kennedy seat, then Frank should be a sitting duck.

You are a fan of Palin and Beck and you are talking to others about delusions of grandeur? Either you are a quack (and no physician, let alone a first year med student would ever use the brand name of a drug) or you graduated from Bob’s college. I think like most tea-baggers, you have exposed yourself as a fraud. Patty, are you communicating from a treatment center? Hmmmm?

PS – If you love America, and I don’t think you do, you would change your user name to “fraud” or “Dr Dip Shit” or “Bat-shit crazy” or something like that. You sully the name of a great American; which you certainly are not…fraud!

This is just another partisan hit piece by Jon Bershad. Hey Jon, maybe you’ll get that call from Daily Kos soon.

Bravo, Ted! Now go take the Zyprexa and shut up.

Inspiring.

He also failed to notice another boyfriend’s indoor pot farm, which was busted with Barney in attendance.

“He [Barney] is not a great outdoorsman” and “would not recognize most plants.”
Pablo

Barney can recognize a nut though, but I think he likes to lie about when he does it.

One thing about Barney Frank is that he was one of just a handful of lawmakers that were “in the room” in the fall of 2008 when the financial meltdown happened.This is when the blowhards and posers of both parties get shut out and a crisis of this magnitude is left to people that know arcane and very intricate workings of a world economy.And even on CNBC which is hostile to Democracts agree Barney knows his shit.

Frank “knew his shit” so much that he resisted all efforts as committee chair from ’06-’08 to cut back on or reform sub-prime mortgages. When he was in the minority, he stoutly resisted any mortgage requirement tightening as “redlining” and “race-based practices” when a distracted GWB made his efforts to keep FanFred from being a repository for junk. Frank on numerous occasions insisted, along with Countrywide crony Chris Dodd, that the housing market was totally safe. You could look it up.

And now, with a corrupt MSM, Obolshie and his butt-boy Barney are trying to lay the blame on GWB for the subprime fiasco, just like they deflected the flooding of NOLA from Katrina away from corrupt demonrat crime families like the Landrieus who for decades demanding their crony construction companies be hired by the Corps of Engineers—not to forget single-digit IQ mayor who refused to activate an evacuation plan after being begged by GWB and his own Demonrat Gov, who also shared the blame…..!

Frank is a menace to good government and electing a dining room table would be a great idea to keep this one-man crime spree from infecting Congress one more term.

I’d like to see Barney gone but how does getting candidates who spout extreme nonsense help anything. Don’t we need some serious informed candidates to replace incumbents.
ganymede

These discussions are really idiotic. Let’s face it you Obama haters can’t handle the fact that a black man is the President of all of us. Also, you can’t handle the fact that Barney Frank is not only brighter than most anyone else in Congress but he’s done his best to save our ‘collective’ asses despite the oppostion from Know/No Nothing Republicans and spineless Democrats. It makes it all the easier because he’s gay and Jewish to boot. I know that many of you will turn a deaf ear to accusations that you could possibly be harboring some racist or homophobic sentiments, but the constant stream of invective from many of you on this blog against Blacks, Muslims and Mexicans iindicates that maybe you should look a little closer at what’s really go on in your heart of hearts.
Snidely

The voters of Congressman Frank’s district keep electing him every two years. They think he is an apt representative of their opinions and interests. It’s not like he is some unknown quantity. He’s their guy.

Did he support the full reinstatement of Glass-Steagall?

No: he has done all in his power to continue the ongoing assault, dating back to the moment of FDR’s death, April 1945, against every Constitutionally just policy instituted by Franklin Delano Roosevelt, including his Cheney-Bush-instituted slam-down opposition to reinstating Glass-Stagall.

Obama is leading the slap-down of every attempt to restore Glass-Steagall and our Constitution. In doing so, Obama follows the path laid down by the Chicago School so-called “neocons” CheneyBush.

Further, Frank leads — along with his tight-ass right wing-nut GOPeers — the shut-down of every aspect of the U.S. productive physical economy, as defined by Thomas Paine, George Washington, John Quincy Adams, Henry C. Carey, Abraham Lincoln, James Garfield, William McKinley, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Bobby Kennedy.

Out off 44 presidents so far, eight (8) are worthy of that office, and I have named them.

The shut-down of NASA, the shut-down of all aspects of the once-excellent public education system, the suppression of classical art and thinking — which is at the foundations of our republic — are all symptoms and causes of the destruction of our nation, in which the treasonous Frank has enthusiastically participated.
