Barney very politely calls Leslie Stahl an idiot twice (on the full video not this tease)
-once telling her that she doesn't know what she is talking about
-once saying that he has no patience for people who ask him "stupid questions"

Full 13:25 segment here
http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=4668109n

Stahl takes a discussion of the auto and financial institution bailout and just HAS to use "liberal" as a pejorative several times but also brings up the sex scandal (gay prostitution ring run out of his house) from 20 some years ago.... AND attempt to use an O'Reilly segment as the conventional wisdom.

Another trash Stahl piece like the one on the car industry from a few weeks ago

1. As an autoworker and a rational human being

....i was more than happy to see Stahl get slapped around by Barney Frank. Her attempt at trying to pigeon hole him and turn him into a caricature flopped like a freshly caught fish on the the deck of a fishing trawler.

2. "Conservatives" are unfortunately Born that way.. it isn't a Choice, they lack 'Fluidity in their

thinking, QUITE POSSABLY because of Organic physical deficiencies in essential cognitive structures of the brain.

my personal view of this subject..if we cant legislate out the Phenomenological IRON LAW OF OLIGARCHY http://bitbucket.icaap.org/dict.pl?term=IRON%20LAW%20OF , then we must consider that.. they need to be put in walled Reservations and prevented from breeding, its the only way to humanely deal with them. we are all Doomed if they are left to continue to FUCK everything up and profit from it,they are obsessive compulsive sociopaths and some psychopathic and all out of control." :shrug:

"snip....Data analysis shows that liberals are about 5 times as likely as conservatives to show brain activity in the areas of the brain related to detecting conflicts between habitual tendency and a more appropriate response. Liberals are also more than twice as likely to score in the top half of the distribution for accuracy.Simply put, liberals tend to think much more than conservatives before acting, whereas conservatives tend to be much more habitual and conforming to established traditions...snip"

"Frank J. Sulloway, a researcher at UC Berkeley's Institute of Personality and Social Research who was not connected to the study, said the results "provided an elegant demonstration that individual differences on a conservative-liberal dimension are strongly related to brain activity."

Analyzing the data, Sulloway said liberals were 4.9 times as likely as conservatives to show activity in the brain circuits that deal with conflicts, and 2.2 times as likely to score in the top half of the distribution for accuracy.

notice the difference in substance of the articles

4. The media loves to pigeon hole people and frame the news - Barney Frank doesn't let her.

We need more people like Congressman Frank who RAISE the discourse, rather than try to manipulate it by using the same tricks (sound bytes and framing).
