1. Barney, you don't have to defend your actions.
She got what just he deserved, and thank you for delivering it.

35. All Seven Agree!
The group of seven, aka my family, all agree that Barney said what needed to be said. No more of this "Democratic Apologist" behavior.

5. She calls people Nazis and she's offended at being compared to a piece of furniture?
I'm so glad he didn't apologize. That would have been about the lamest thing ever.

15. He should have said "Then Maam, can I compliment you by calling you a Nazi?..."
Edited on Thu Aug-20-09 08:42 PM by cascadiance
"... if you feel such comments aren't putting other people down?"

It probably fits her better than those who that woman was trying to call Nazis...

6. Love the lone voice at the end: "Who do you work for?" . . .
Doesn't matter who anyone "works" for, if the "boss" is publicly calling you a Nazi you have a right, indeed, an obligation, to defend yourself. And if that's best done through derision, so be it.

9. He works for the American people...of which over 70% want health care reform. Next question?
Who does the Nazi Lady work for?

Who do the gun toting militia nuts work for?

Who do the "They're gonna kill grandma" crowd work for?


Morons!

7. Yep,.. in the wingnut universe...
... they get to say what ever outrageous lies/insults/racial slurs they want. But, the minute anyone calls them out on it (like Barney Frank) they cry and whine like babies.

8. Twitter was fun to read when that You Tube came out
and it had to be 10:1 against the howling wingnuts.

If he wants to know how well he's doing, he needs to pop in for 5 minutes or so of light reading.

10. He was right to put her down.
And let me help -- she's a stupid idiot. She should get together with the "sleeping giant" lady and bake brownies.

16. A Democrat who told the cold hard truth and didn't apologize!!! I'm in shock
Barney Frank for King of the universe ! And once again, I hope that at least a few other members of what is ironically referred to as our "leadership" will take note and realize that you can call these racists and idiots what they really are, AND stand behind your words instead of tucking your tail between your legs and groveling for forgiveness the next day. ABOUT GODDAM TIME. Go Barney!

19. exactly--I'm old enough to remember that too. A shame about the mass spine-ectomy
I guess Barney is evidence that they all didn't get that operation ...........P.S. welcome to DU ; informative, often fun, and only occasionally exasperating...

36. If it only it was just Durbin--seems like it's more like the whole spineless lot of em
with a rare exception here and there. ) Can't remember his name, but another rep recently told a wingnut at another town hall something along the lines of " I have the facts on my side, and you have Glenn Beck". Sadly, these kinds of Dems still seem few and far between.....I'm ready for a Barney Frank/Jon Stewart ticket myself.

20. They picked the wrong guy to pick a fight with.
Barney Frank loves to get down in the mud and wrestle with dumb, stupid Repukes, always has. I'd say he was having the time of his life while they didn't know what hit them. If they can't take the heat they should stay away from Barney Frank!

I've been watching him for several years taking on Republicans in the House and it's better entertainment than Reality TV. He loves crossing swords with them and often has the house rotfl at some of the things he says, and the way he says them. Smart Repukes try to avoid getting into an argument with him.

What's so funny about this is how terribly hurt these morons are that someone gave back what they thought they could dish out with no consequences. That's not supposed to happen in their world.

Whoever sent them to try to win a war of words with Barney, didn't know him! Looks like the loonies need to develop a thicker skin, as they often advise others to do! Bunch of cry babies.

Go Barney! Love watching him in action :rofl:

21. No need to apologize
to an idiot woman who calls someone of Jewish origin a NAZI! She exemplifies the corporatists' brainwashed in the 40's who sided with Hitler and she would have probably sided with him too!

30. Rather than put her down
Barney tagged her for the radical lunatic she is.
Frankly, some of these cretins and weirdos need to be put down in a veterinary sense, and a good start would be the Pox Propaganda hierarchy.

I just love the tough-guy bullshit. Barney should have answered him, "The rational, intelligent constituents who voted for me." Obviously the "tough-guy" wasn't one of them.

38. Of course Hitler & Obama are identical to conservatives.
Just like Obama, Hitler built roads & bridges, expanded his country's welfare system, and increased taxes. Conservatives think these are the worst of Hitler's crimes. Nothing else is worth remembering or commenting on.
