I saw the entire town-hall Barney Frank did Tuesday

on C-span today. He was great at handing those assholes I especially liked it when the women calls Obama a Nazi and he asked her what planet she spends most of her time on. Of course the MSN left her Nazi comment out to try and make Barney look like an ass. He may be gay but most of the other Congressmen are girly men compared to Barney. It's great to see a Democrat with a spine for a change.

up the Obama with the Hitler mustache. These people are f-----g nuts, they call Obama a socialist then compare him to Hitler the very opposite on the political spectrum, morons.

we took were wrong when they talked about the political spectrum. The Fact (and education) deprived Repubs just continue to make shit up.

when these morans call Obama Hitler and a socialist at the same time. Is it doublethink? Cognitive Dissonance? Or just ignorance? It scares me to think someone who is so vocal can be so off on the fundamental premise of their own argument and then receive so much air time in the MSM with not so much as a mention of the fact that they are totally wrong.

crazies know that. For those that do, you can point out that the Nazi's idea of socialism ain't what they got in Canada and Western Europe. It helps to research the issue but I doubt if you'd get that far with anybody in that crowd...

Not just my opinion.

What is wrong with people?

like the right wingers would call him a girly man because he is gay. In my opinion they are the girly men he has more balls than any of them. It wasn't meant as any kind of anti gay comment I'm sorry if you somehow found that offencive.

n/t

references to orientation and Ahnuuuuuld were not made. It takes a lot more than that to offend me, but thanks for the apology.

The reason that the comment is offensive to some is that you linked being gay to being female or feminine, AND you linked being female or feminine to being weak or cowardly. It isn't necessarily an anti-gay sentiment, but it can definitely be looked at as sexist.

Right wingers see it as an insult because many believe the stereotype that all homosexuals are effeminate and that feminine qualities, are less valuable than male qualities. That insult only works if you believe that females are emotional and weak. Furthermore the use of "balls" as a sign of courage and strength is also sexist. Think about it this way, are you saying that people need testicles to be courageous? That leaves out over 50% of the population. I am being somewhat facetious here, but seriously, words carry implications and we have to be aware of what hidden messages they are communicating.

What the right wing is displaying here is a complete lack of ethics and character. They are cowards, but not because of gender or orientation. They are cowards because they lack the character and conviction to stand up to corporate greed and do what is best for people who are less powerful than large business entities.

Where are the big bad, masculine, conservative Blue Dog tough guys when it comes to sticking up to these jerks?

I'll take Frank any day.

Oh no- he said girly man! LOL! I have couch if anyone wants to faint on it.

n/t

this is over" moments. Poor puppy.

Still, this is worth watching.

Rahm & the the Blue Dogs are ballet dancers.

Stereotype much?

gay men, girly men, cowboys and ballet dancers. Waiting for the Indian chief to make an appearance...

They came into his wigwam and he showed them the business end of his Tom tom!!!

Look- all I'm saying is that the OP was not being homophobic for implying that Frank is a badder dude than conservatives...

regardless of how they swing. I applaud him for *nailing* that wacko, and wish Obama would speak up more forcefully. I'm not sure the "belt and suspenders" analogy is going to do it.

n/t

:wtf:

As it is, no one is making fun of Frank, but praising him.

Frank is a bad-ass- that is clear.

No couch-fainting or backing down- the man is acting like a western hero, not a timid dancer.

Who do you want on your side in a fight- a gay cowboy or a straight but weak ballet dancer?

The issue was with stereotyping people based on preconceived notions. FYI, try finding a "weak" ballet dancer. Or better yet, get into a pair of tights and try to stand on your toes for hours on end.

I dont need DEMS to "stand on their toes for hours on end" while wearing a pink-tutu.

I need them to act like Frank.

See pink tutu wearing... etc... draws conclusions of weakness towards those who wear pink tutus, who I assure you are in no generalized weak state regardless of stereotypes.

But thanx for the advice.

LOL! Frankly, I could care less if I offend folks who wear pink-tu-tus. If they have a problem with that, I'll just get my gay cow-boy friends to kick their butts.

;)

:hi:

I've started using his "arguing with you is like arguing with my dining room table" remark. Makes them look like what they are, dense as a piece of wood...

Please tell us....what do you have against women?

Or is it that Ahnold is your hero?

think I may be gay myself.

And, obviously, you're either quite proud of being insensitive and unaware, or you're here to stir up trouble.

Which is it?

My God, health care reform has brought the crazies out of the woodwork!

and his reply was that he hadn't had a secret in 21 years...too funny. Really set them straight. The fact is, most of these people protesting in place of attending these meetings are just plain dumb.

No more Mr. Nice guy

This is disgusting especially on DU!

and so did other news organizations. Maybe not Fox?
