1. Bingo! Barney Frank shoved it right down their throats -

And what did Snuffy the whore say?

Oh, well that's a whole 'nother show.

God forbid we should debate the REAL FUCKING ISSUE!

[JayMusgrove]

Snuffy the whore... I like that name for that little ....

S O B. I listened to the show today and heard Barney get off several one-line zingers like that. He really nailed those arrogant F'ers who only want money to go to big banks, insurance companies, and CEO's.

He's one of the brightest men in Congress, IMO.

28. And didn't they give Billions to the banks in the fall...

what did that do?
For the repubs, it always has to be from the top down, that way they're sure they'll get theirs and keep their buds happy.

[Sherman A1]

25. Agreed

:toast:

[liberalmike27]

31. I must say

It was nice hearing one of our Congressmen admit the truth of it. The DOD/Pentagon spending since WW 2 has been one of the primary reasons we are so deeply in debt, as well as something he didn't say, why we are so hated that a billionaire would use his money to affect a terrorist attack against us.

They focus so much on deaths, but rarely do they admit how wasteful the spending is. And did you notice how quickly Gregory went to shut him down. GE Makes good things for living, and makes good things for killin' too.

[libodem]

2. Barney is right on the money!

That is exactly what I think.

[Acadia Blue]

3. Every day that goes by I find more reason to hate republiCONS

[humbled_opinion]

18. My REPUKE Hate Meter

Was pegged on NOV 3rd 2000 when the idiot that got us into these messes decided that he would over rule the will of the People and its been pegged ever since.

[Pharaoh]

4. Woot woot!!

K&R

[Karenina]

5. You GO, BF!

:bounce:

[MindMatter]

13. Hear Hear.

About damn time we said the obvious.

That slimy little weasel, Steph "That's a whole other program." No it isn't. It is EXACTLY the discussion, as is all the criminality on Wall Street. It is all about how special interests have been stealing our resources so we can't maintain bridges, provide decent health care, and educate our kids to compete in the new millennium.

The Dems all need to go to Barney Frank school and learn how to have these discussions, pronto.

[A Brand New World]

6. HOORAY! Someone finally has the guts to say where the problem

is. This war in Iraq. Billions and billions of $$ over there to the detriment of this country.

[underpants]

7. Defense spending, like any public outlay, is stimulative too

of course that is not considered living off the government teat :eyes:

[jacobfloyd]

8. Oh he shut it down! He shut the muthaf*cka down!

:toast:

[L. Coyote]

9. NO, it still IS the biggest PROFIT Scheme ever. There is a difference.

[baldguy]

11. War Is a Racket

We've known that for a century. 50 yrs ago the President warned us of the treat from our own military-industrial complex.

The military-industrial complex has been in power the last eight years.

[L. Coyote]

27. The military-industrial complex has been in power the last 60 years, at least.

[pinto]

10. Ya gotta love how Rep. Frank can put things into perspective at times.

Great take on the financials of the war and occupation.

[midnight]

12. Repeat - Iraq was the biggest spending program ever.

This must be remembered when the country asks for health care for all.

[Turborama]

14. Another fantastic verbal uppercut from BF! K&R

This is one of those moments I'd rec 100 times if I could...

[quidam56]

15. Hannity's Patriotic head just exploded !!!

Hannity's America sure isn't My America, I want America to succeed. http://www.wisecountyissues.com Change is coming from the bottom up in Appalachia !

[veganlush]

16. snuf-a-louf-a-gus says "that's a whole 'nother show..." what a clown

:kick: everyone should call Frank's office and commend him...then call republican congressmen and condemn them...

[lumpy]

17. Barney is so succinct; wastes no words and goes right to the

target. It is so easy when the truth is spoken. His peeny adversaries are no match for a brain.

[Hubert Flottz]

19. That's what I said here on DU about a week ago...

[chollybocker]

20. Loves me some Barney.

[cynthia]

21. nailed it, Mr. Frank!

way to go

[DuaneBidoux]

22. Yeah. And it wasn't much of a stimulus unless you made caskets in the U.S.

Or, for that matter, Iraq.

[whistle]

23. Barney Frank is absolutely correct, how soon will the right wing begin openly

...calling Barney Frank a communist now?

[cooolandrew]

24. Barnie telling it like it is. That's what you'd hope from a Majority Leader really.

[rhymeandreason]

26. Rep Frank is right

After eight years of Bush and the Republicans engaging in an orgy of unprecedented deficit spending, including their trillion dollar ME military boondoggles, it is inconceivable to me that the GOP now sees fit to try and obstruct a stimulus package which is only necessary because of their conspicuous fiscal mis-management.

[Wapsie B]

29. That's right. To repugs there's no expense too great as long as we can declare a war on something.

But god forbid you should want the $$$ for anything else besides their pet projects. They've maxed out the credit cards and then some paying for a war in Iraq started on a lie.

Too bad though it's not Pelosi saying all this. Shouldn't that be the Speaker's job?

[trapper914]

30. It's not in this video...

...but did you catch how DeMint tried to play the "our plan is the AMERICAN plan" card? Barney chastised him on that at the first opportunity.

[Capt. America]

32. Touchdown and two-point conversion Barney Frank! Shut them MFs up!

[valerief]

33. kick

:kick:
