I don't like Barney Frank. However, I believe he is right to point out the difficulty of debating with someone who thinks Obama is the same as Hitler.

Well It could have easily been spun around with her saying....... trying to have a conversation with him was like trying to have a conversation with a marshmellow.

What a goon and these people are our representatives. I think every seat in goverment should be cleaned out in the next series of elections. Everyone of them

It would've been a better debate if that woman would take away that picture. Barney would've justified reasonable opposition questions, but, how could someone debate with rhetorics? Honestly, the woman in question was being rhetorical rather than reasonable. Barney didn't kick her out of the meeting. It goes to show he want to keep the debate as long as it's reasonable.

barney frank is proof that taking responsibility for one's actions/inaction is antiquated.

Cliche man to the rescue!

What do you think you mean? Clearly, there are millions of people that take ownership of their actions and words every day and yet here you are suggesting somehow that no one does, ever.

If you have a point to make, try again because that was just nonsense.

Why not? We have freedom of speech or not? Or do you bow down to the barn"s of the world?

What has that to do with freedom of speech? Is this another one of these 'all opinions are equal' fail arguments?

She'll be making a fool of herself either way. Therefore, it was better to put the fire away to allow others to ask questions.

Pretty much.

Actually, its quite easy to debate with extremists and make them look foolish as their opinions are rarely based on anything factual. Whether you can actually get a word in is another matter...

So what you meant was, Barney Frank espouses a 'take no responsibility for his actions' approach? That is a very, very different thing from suggesting that taking responsibility for ones actions is antiquated.
