Barney Frank slams down dem primary opponent for comparing Obama to Hitler

[WI_DEM]

NEWTON, Mass. — Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank has criticized his Democratic primary challenger and former town hall foe for comparing President Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler.


The 15-term congressman said Tuesday during his debate with Rachel Brown that the 29-year-old and her supporters offend many by carrying signs with Obama sporting a Hitler mustache.

Brown asked Frank at a town hall last year about his support for what she termed the "Nazi policy" of health care reform. Frank responded that talking to her was "like arguing with a dining room table."

Brown said Frank's criticism motivated her to run against him in the Sept. 14 primary for the state's 4th Congressional District.

5. "I guess the nuts aren't only on the far right."

How, in any way, is Frank's opponent NOT far right?

6. There were plenty of DUers saying nearly the same thing about healthcare reform.

Just replace "Nazi" with "corporatist."

[jgraz]

8. Yeah, except replacing "Nazi" with "Corporatist" is not "nearly the same thing".

Your post is nearly the same thing as completely sensible.

Just replace "completely sensible" with "total bullshit".

[TheWraith]

9. Same shrill, fact-free complaints about screwing the people.

Same bullshit and rumors repeated as "facts."

Same lies, innuendo, and accusations of powermongering.

But hey, tell yourself whatever you want to believe.

10. "But hey, tell yourself whatever you want to believe"

I guess Republicans aren't the only ones who specialize in projection.

There are many, many (many) documented cases about how the fix was in from the beginning on HCR. Have you been in a coma the past year? If so, I apologize.

Just to name a few:

+ Baucus' exclusion of any Single Payer advocates from committee testimony

+ Obama's secret deal with Big Pharma

+ Obama's secret deal with for-profit hospitals to kill the Public Option (documented in the NYT)

+ The White-House-led filibuster of Dorgan's drug re-importation amendment

+ The refusal of the White House to support Harry Reid when he wanted to push the Public Option through reconciliation


That's nearly the same as "fact free complaints". Just replace "fact-free" with "rock-solid and documented". :eyes:
