HAHA! Someone proved him wrong and he got pissed.


What a stupid and childish reaction. A politician should not act this way.

Pfft... making a politician look bad.

Shooting fish in a barrel.

I'll say it again - is this the reaction we can expect from the party that calls themselves the "educated" and "enlightened" party - the Democrats and Liberals?

Prove them wrong or beat them fair and square as happened in Albany and they throw a temper tantrum??? They cannot concede defeat with any dignity and grace?

Wow. Just... wow.

Frank makes a point that the average shareholder no longer really has a voice. But he also does not seem to understand who really owns the vast majority of shares, which are pension plans and mutual funds, not individuals. The reporter was trying to get that point across but Frank was not listening.

I don't know how paying everyone the same will result in better business decisions.

Barney probabley had to go molest another male intern,he does not think he has to answer to the American people.

Sad thing is that I don't think this is something we should be laughing about this guy. We should be scared!

Wrong. CNBC cut off Barney frank, not the other way around. After he said something like "why are interviewing me if you don't want to hear what I say". I just caught the very end.

Wow. ATSers reaching for new lows again. Ad hominum attacks because some people are entirely clueless. Put your obvious personal prejudices aside and watch what is being said. The CNBC reporter is interupting him and attempting to spin the response. I know Barney Frank. I've met with this man. He's one of if not the most well-read and intellectually sharp people in Congress from either party. And he has no tolerance for this kind of crap. I don't agree with all of his positions but I know first hand where he is coming from. You people (the major included) clearly don't. >SNIP< How sad.

Dismissed.

I like your style, and I fully agree with your sentiment.

REPLY: So, you look up to a man who, along with Chris Dodd, was directly responsible for the mortgage meltdown, which then led to our current economic situation. Just because you met him doesn't mean you know him.
His record speaks for itself. Being intelligent doesn't make one smart, and Fwank and BHO fall directly into that category. Fwank is a pompous buffoon, and an admitted Socialist/Marxist.

And the fact that he is Gay has exactly what to do with either molesting interns or the issue at hand?

Personal insults really don't advance the Conservative cause. I thought that might have been clarified during your last election.
