Barney Frank has a snit fit
Touchy, touchy. When Barney Frank doesn’t get to blubber uninterrupted on TV like he does in committee hearings and on the House floor, Barney Frank stomps off the set:

Barney Frank-lover is a fascist pig.
Really, just that simple.
Barney’s Frank, what a loser. Good riddance.
Unhinged right wing bigotry in 3… 2… 1…
Stop interrupting me while I cram pay caps down everybody’s throat in the private sector!
How long before ‘We The People’ take back our country form the sniveling a$$-wipes like Barney Frank who thinks he answers to no one but himself?
Pfft… such a drama queen.
Ooh look! RSS can count to three! Now that’s what I call progressive!
Make that ‘from’ the… not form. Dang fat-fingers! Kind of like Barney’s head.

Unhinged liberal attempting to divert from the issue in 3, oops already happened.
He/she/it will now have to go down for a nap. What a strain…
I don’t understand why anyone votes for this, this…lowlife.
Let alone want to talk with him!
The warning signs are everywhere — There will be no excuses for saying you didn’t know.
Now if he would only resign from public office.

And more obfuscation. Is it possible for you to stay on topic?
Barney Frank is, supposedly, an adult and an elected official. He walks out on an interview and we can’t criticize him because some people make disparaging remarks about his sexuality? (Which, by the way, the left have no problem with if the target is a Republican)
I keep hearing people say it’s time for “we the people” to do something to stop this madness, “take our country back”. My question is HOW? I’ll do whatever I can do just tell me how. I wrote my senator 3 times one day I was so angry but he is a repulican he really can’t do anything but talk. Get involved at your local level – folks, I don’t think we have that much time.
Why aren’t banks suing the gov’t, auto industry, constitutional lawyers? What is it going to take to stop this administration?
there, that looks better.
RSS
If it’s unhinged right-wing bigotry to hate fraud, waste, and abuse, to despise the flagrant overstepping of one’s constitutional authority, to stand up for free-market capitalism, and to question the intelligence of a lawmaker who has a brothel run out of his home, then count me in.
RSS said:
Barney franks being gay means nobody can make fun of him, but making a joke about raping the 14 year old daughter of a conservative is a laugh riot!!!
….like a little girl…..
Barny Franks: Are you going to run away like a little school girl from every tough situation???
WOW!!!
He lost his marbles and put them in his mouth.
While I’m far from being a Frank fan, I am also fed up with the cable news interviews that don’t let the responders speak for more than 4 seconds without interruption. I’ve stopped watching cable news because of it.
The hardest job in the world has to be the closed caption transcriber for Fox News.
Not my point. I was just predicting yall’s sideshow of raving bigotry, which after just 20 minutes has already been come true several times.
I don’t get it? Are you saying he isn’t a faggot?
WOW, RSS’s link resulted in SEVEN whole hits, all in the comments section, not one written by michelle malkin.
RSS proves….. nothing again.
Look again, that’s CNBC.
It’s the attitude of one who believes that he is in a position where when he speaks, everyone should just shut up and listen.
I have to hand it to the guy on the left who wasn’t going to simply sit there and be lied to.
@Pauldow:
That’s a pet peeve of mine too, although upon reflection, the host/moderator can’t let either side keep rattling on when the segment is under a time constraint, which may motivate the interuptions, in part.
Would it be “raving bigotry” to tell you to shove your false outrage up you four points of contact? I see nothing on this page which you couldn’t see on any running of will and grace. Must everything you disagree with be bigotry?
lgm has been working with him.
lgm has been working with him.
@Pauldow:
The exception to that for me is when the guest will not answer the question. All during the election, the obamabots would simply reply to every question with campign issued talking points not matter what the question was.
Frank lied and then tried to bully the other guy into letting him get away with it.
Why is this worthy of note? It’s not like there’s anything unusual about it.
Well put JSR. Of course RSS had to spin it as usual, looking through the pink tinted lenses of liberal tolerance and understanding that they are so famous for.
And BTW, count me in as well!!!
Olberdolt and Madcow are gonna be sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo mad!!!
But Chrissy Matthews will still have his tingly leg! Bwah ha ha!
He is a US Senator. Say what you want, but if you ask him for an opinion, he deserves the chance to answer as fully and as stupidly as he sees fit to do.
I don’t like Barney Frank, but in terms of civilized debate, this “anchorman/interviewer” is an ass. There’s a reason why Senators are allowed to blather on in Congress… Robert’s Rules of Order have probably prevented more fist fights than anyone can possibly guess.
If it is still tingling, he may want to get that checked out. He might have a tumor…
Another way to put it, if you gave Barney Frank enough rope, he’ll hang himself in short time.
It’s just not necessary to cut him off! LOL
SENATORIAL CAGE MATCH!!!
LOL
Um, no. He’s in the House. Every 2 years the people of Massachusetts 4th Congressional district has the opportunity to do the right thing… and fail.

Frank is such a tool. He’s had even worse ‘interviews’ with Lou Dobbs too.
I can’t take him seriously anymore.
Hey, sorry to go off-topic here folks, but thought you might want to be made aware of important updates in the illegal immigration area:
“Obama Administration and DHS to Gut E-Verify Executive Order – Take Action Now!!!”

Much as I dislike the Honorable gentleman from Mass, I will give him a pass on this one. The interviewer was not allowing him to answer.
yes to disagree with the left is a HATE CRIME…
For the record,
Frank is a
fascist (demonstrably a supporter of collectivist, corporatist fascist economics, in common with BIG BRO)
pig (predicated on his corruption, criminal conduct, and behavior).
There is nothing bigoted about my observation.
Barney Frank should return to his former career as a donkey fluffer in Tijuana.
My respect for him would triple overnight.
Respectfully, what I saw was the interviewer refusing to allow his question to be distorted by Frank…a favorite tactic of the statist.
Frank: “What you’re suggesting is we do nothing at all”…which, of course, was a lie.
Who the hell votes FOR this idiot? Seriously… if there are any Fwank voters on this blog, can you explain just so I understand?

I have been saying this for months. Where the heck are all the conservative and libertarian organizations and Constitutional lawyers that can afford to launch lawsuits to try and stop this madness? As an individual living in CA there is essentially nothing I can do aside from write letters to the editor of the local paper and participate on-line. It will take big $ to litigate the constitutionality of Obama’s renegade actions. Why hasn’t someone stepped up to the plate? What are they waiting for?
“SENATORIAL CAGE MATCH!!!”
I’m thinking more of a Thunderdome style “Two men enter one man leaves” sort of scene. But then, Barney’s manhood is questionable at best. He might be ruled ineligible for Thunderdome.
Bullying the questioner to the point of obfuscation is arepeated observable trait with frank when the his version is questioned.
Frank loses any debate when he has to resort with increased volume vice (no pun intended) demonstatable facts.
It is always interesting to see how a coddled Democrat reacts when subjected to a true journalist as opposed to a DNC cheerleader posing as a journalist.
I too dislike the continuous questioning without letting a response to be stated…But when the question is not answered in anything but talking points a flag should be called (as it was demonstrated here)
No news here BF does this in every interview he does. He can’t explain and when no one knows WTF he’s talking or disagrees he takes his ball and goes home!
I cant stand the sight of Barney Frank, but objectively speaking, the interviewer was interrupting him. Let the person respond and then you can get back in there.
Yesterday, Rush kept playing his parody on Frank, “Banking Queen”. I was piddling. If you have not heard it, you should access it on his website. It’s freakin’ hilarious!
To Michelle and all:
I must apologize profusely for my remarks in #47 above. It was way out of line for me and beneath the dignity of this site.
Please do not remove me from the site. It is the only recreation I have since I sold my boat.
Hainey is pretty liberal . . . but he’s smart as a whip and won’t take crap. If Frank is having trouble with Mark Haines he must be completely wrong.
Frank is the poster child of what is wrong with the congress. I just wish he was a straight WASP so I could criticize him without being accused of ‘anti-Semitism/homophobia’.
hangfire; LOL
Hangfire:
Ive had a post or two deleted, when Ive let my disgust with the left burn a little too hot. Dont worry about it. It happens.
And BTW, just so you know, I dont know what the heck a “donkey fluffer” is. But considering your mea culpa, I guess Im better off not knowing.
)..
Hang in there.
Pwoor, pwoor, Bwaney.
Pwoor, pwoor, Fwank.
I fweel fwor you.
Excellent.
Barney “Fannie Mae” Frank – what a loser. It just amazes me that the people in Boston keep electing a loser like him.
In fact, it makes one wonder about most of the elected officials in the whole Northeast section of the country. When did it become the country’s mental hospital? How is it most of the mentally ill migrated there? Did they see some sort of light that guided them?
I wonder what Barney plans for the next Fanny and Freddie crash (psst its coming and he can’t blame anybody else)?
The only house floor this malfeasent criminal belongs on is in the big house where he can frolic like a butterfly all he feels like, so long as no financial sector inmates aren’t waiting for him.
Good bye, sir. Um, and don’t the the door hit you in the brain on your way out!!
This poor excuse for a human being does not deserve one iota of respect. Sir, indeed…
Hers’s an idea for Mr. Frank… Cap all Legislative pay to actual performance.
But of course if you get 500 people in the same room, the only thing they will be in total agreement will be:
1) Give ourself a raise
2) Lets go on vacation!.
oops.. Here’s…
First – Barney and friends should limit the graft; payoffs; and campaign donations congressmen receive while in public office.
Second, business leaders are asking the Obama administration to limit the compensation of the union executives if they plan on capping management’s pay. I’d add a limit to the amount the unions can give to the Democratic Party too.
(He is predisposed to put it where the sun doesn’t shine, I would assume.) Maybe he will try to combine the two institutions to create a new monstrosity, named Freddie’s Fanny…what a concept for someone who just keeps sticking to the American people, and who thinks we actually enjoy getting screwed this way.
LOL!
I’m slipping … did I see someone comment that Frank’s manhood is “questionable”?
Questionable?
How can a raving fairies manhood be “questionable”?
The host called him “sir.” Isn’t that getting a little loose with the language?
Barney and Friends are no more fit to legislate than their PBS puppet namesakes.
Hangfire, as the Tribune said in Ben Hur,
“We keep you alive to serve this ship. So row well…. and live.”
You do not get out of here that easy.
When are people going to realize that government officials are accountable to nobody!
Great minds working on the same plain…

Just a piece of advice for the drama queen Barney Frank-“Put on your big girl panties and deal with it”
GSP
“Dissent is Patriotic”-hrc
Well, you are half right.
Bawney Fwank needs to just shut up, go home and take care of his business. So, it’s a brothel, a gay brothel at that. Maybe if the idiots in MA would pay just the slightest bit of attention to their elected representatives, dolts like this would never get elected.
Pretty sure ‘dem aint no marbles.
Sorry to disappoint you. No raving bigotry here. I’m sure you’ll be more successful predicting it over at DKOS or HP.
I have to excuse the interviewer here. Listen how Barney is not answering his questions and going on and on not telling the truth. Barney has tried time and time again to misrepresent what happened. He continues to say it was republicans that caused this economic meltdown. No it was him and his former boyfriend who was an executive at Fannie and Freddie. Barney kept saying last summer that Fannie and Freddie are fine when in reality they were ready to implode, which they did. Hey Barney go home and crank up that profit making prostitution service that ran out of your basement a few years back.
gunslinger; absolutely freakin right on point.why is cutting the mike off of a guest on msnbc that dares to stand up and call the nbc network an obama mouthpiece organization different than the liberal jerk from massachusetts (i know you need a lot more info to determine which one) stomping off the set when someone dares ask him why he thinks he is qualified to determine other people’s worth? oh that’s right, there is no difference, liberals are always right and will hear no dissent, tolerate no other thought than their marching orders from the dnc, and immediately turn to personal insults if anyone calls them out. the party of tolerance indeed.
what i really want to know is when mr frank and his colleagues plan to rein in the pay and benefits of gubmint workers. i just received my social security notice, and if i take social security and still work, my check decreases. if i stayed in the military, i would have retired nearly 20 years ago with a pension larger than my ss check, and would be nearing my second retirement from the same employer as i would do the time honored morph from military to postal worker. so why doesn’t that diminish their pension when they are working for the same folks? rein that in barney.
You know it is strange, in every public interview of Frank, the interviewers just won’t let him respond…/s
Heh!
(FWIW, I believe Jack Hawkins’ character in Ben Hur was a consul – a much higher rank.)
The problem with that, sir, is Chin Dimples would never STFU so no other inconvenient questions could be asked.
It’s what they (liberals) do. All the time.
I forgot to add, that when someone like Frank continually misrepresents the question asked – why is it not appropriate for the questioner to interpose?
Sort of a fine line in an interview. If a guest starts to give a speech, then you must interrupt. But actually I couldnt even get a firm idea of the exchange because they constantly talked over each other.
Can you say ACORN?????
I’ll bet if you ask his pages, they’ll tell you that old Barney gives a whole new meaning to the term “Franking Privileges.”
If it’s what I think it is, Barney and Eeyore will be BFF!
