Republicans back to their school yard debate tactics. Someone else did it first Why how grown up of you.
Pay attention I have said neither should be doing it. I have said we need to get rid of them all and start over.
I would be saying the same exact thing if it were a republican or democrat. I am feed up with these people that have forgotten they work for us and right now it happens to be Franks AGAIN
So who needs to grow up now? You will defend democrats for doing this while insulting a republican while I insult both.
Barney Frank Confronts Woman At Town Hall Comparing Obama To Hitler
Frank was totally in the right for a change. He said the right thing to this person.
But I ask- If comparisons to Nazis are so wrong now (and they are) why were they acceptable under Bush? Was Frank shouting down all the Lefties who were ignorant enough to believe that Bush was worst than Hitler?
Nazi comparisons are inappropriate outside of totalitarian regimes.
People have tried educating these nitwits to no avail. The have no interest in actually learning anything - they just want to be disruptive. Frank responded to her as he should have and I hope of Dems follow his example.

It's wrong, regardless. Why is this so difficult for some people to comprehend? Is the need to appear to be correct, even if it means using grade-school tactics to justify a wrong, really that important?
I agree its wrong on both sides but sometimes you have to remind them that democrats did the samething
I do agree that he should not have wasted his time on this woman due to the way she presented herself but he should have responded in a much more professional manner. All he really accomplished by responding the way he did was to give more ammunition to his opponents and possibly ruined his reputation with some who either supported him or were on the fence with how they feel about him.
The disinformation media have made Frank a lightning rod for right-wing whackos. He has to deal with such dross on a regular basis. It does no actual good for anyone to give them anything more than the brush-off.

One of the benefits of C-D. You get to raise some points here that would be inapprorpriate in a professional environment. In fact, scrupulous non-partisanship is a hallmark of my own professional environment. But it remains true that millions of undocumented immigrants are here and up early every day, working hard to make this country a better place for all of us. Republicans have been falling well short of that mark. They have been contributing nothing. If we are going to start deporting people, it's these Republicans who will need to go first.
As for opinions, everyone gets to have one. But if you can't support it, it's worthless.

You mean the swastikas with the line through them, meaning oppose this type of policy? You mean those?
Sorry but you don't get to strip away the meaning of the swastika in western world since the 20th century for your own political convenience. And for those that put a line through the swastika, which not all do, the implication is still the same--that Nazi policies that eventually led to the extermination of millions of people are being supported and advocated in this country. It's a an immoral lie and denigrates the memories of those that died in the Holocaust by comparing anything going on in US politics today with what those people suffered under.
