Which brings me back to this gem from August:
mjh’s blog — Huzzah to Barney Frank!
Frank then excoriated a woman who asked a question while holding up a picture of President Obama defaced to look like Hitler:
QUESTION: Why do you continue to support a Nazi policy as Obama has expressly supported this policy? Why are you supporting it? […]
FRANK: On what planet do you spend most of your time? … You want me to answer the question? Yes. You stand there with a picture of the President defaced to look like Hitler and compare the effort to increase health care to the Nazis. My answer to you is, as I said before, it is a tribute to the First Amendment that this kind of vile, contemptible nonsense is so freely propagated.
Frank concluded: “Trying to have a conversation with you would be like arguing with a dining room table.”
