Barney Frank gets skewered by a college kid on the financial crisis. Priceless. (salary, regular)

Has Harvard turned into a conspiracy institution? I mean I know a vast majority of the people in charge and culpable for the economic collapse are Harvard educated... Are they eating their young now too?

A better place to start would be with what Frank meant when he said this:

"Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have played a very useful role in helping make housing more affordable, both in general through leveraging the mortgage market, and in particular, they have a mission that this Congress has given them in return for some of the arrangements which are of some benefit to them to focus on affordable housing, and that is what I am concerned about here. I believe that we, as the Federal Government, have probably done too little rather than too much to push them to meet the goals of affordable housing and to set reasonable goals."

Typical wingnuts...you've got to post an edited and cropped version that doesnt make you look like the fools that you are...LOL

Just another example where you can't deal with reality...you crop and edit a video so as to slam it....you don't have the intellect to deal with the actual points being made......LOL

yeah, this makes more sense overall. wacky wingnutties.

Maybe they like Congressmen whose lovers run prostitution rings out of their elected representatives' homes.

Or he's been charged with what?

The man is a crook; it will come out in the wash. How you can support a crook, regardless of their politics is beyond me padcrasher. You and Dukester are the most fervent supporters of a single party on this forum.

I literally believe that Barney Frank could murder someone in plain daylight and you'd defend him.

If who you fall in love with says anything about your character....

I'll take that for a no. You have no evidence whatsover...the funny thing is....

When it "does come out in the wash" and it turns out Frank hasn't been tied or implicated to anything...you'll just go on and on with your crackpot accusations never missing a beat.

barney frank is a great big fat fruitcake, and the people in mass should be ashamed of themselves.
