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.
