Again... the woman arguing with Barney Frank about Nazi policy and holding up the picture of Obama as Hitler is a left-wing LaRouchie.

Typical when they have nothing to contribute.

Bingo... You nailed it.

Nobody needs your approval to speak their mind, and they sure as hell do not need their elected Representatives disparaging them for stating their opinion. Or maybe you would rather bring back the Gestapo in order to silence all dissent that you disapprove.

For 8 years we listened to liberals whine and moan about being silenced under the Bush administration, and now these very same liberal hypocrites are doing their best to silence dissenters.

Are those union thugs with baseball bats not working out like you expected, now that Americans are showing up armed?
Yep, I'm going with my brain disorder theory.

Barney Frank Confronts Woman At Town Hall Comparing Obama To Hitler

After reading through several pages here I am more and more convinced that "Educated American" is an oxymoron.

The idea that the Nazi's were a leftist party is laughable and pitiful. They did incorporate some elements of both left and right but the upshot is that they were fascists - a right wing ideology. That's one reason they were fighting the leftist Communists in WWII. And if you don't know why they used the term socialist in their name in spite of the fact they were right-wing, then I suggest you really open a history book.

Braney Frank is like a school kid having a temper tantrum. He's got some serious self-control issues.

No, I'd say he has a backbone, and is a politician who isn't afraid of confronting people's lunacy.

No, he just makes a fool of himself. Like when he railed on that student before.
