At a Barney Frank town hall meeting in Dartmouth, MA, a constituent asks, "Why are you supporting this Nazi policy?"

Frank responds: "On what planet do you spend most of your time?" He then calls her approach "vile, contemptible nonsense." He closes by saying: "Trying to have a conversation with you would be like arguing with a dining room table."

5. Obviously Barney Frank did not grow up in Chicago in the late 50s. . . .

http://www.chicagotelevision.com/friends.htm

"Susan's Show, starring eleven year old Susan Heinkel came to Chicago television and channel 2 as Susie's Show in 1955. Heinkel, a St. Louis Missouri native already had one series under her belt by the time she came to the windy city called Suzy's Playroom. Staff announcer John Coughlin, later weatherman at channel 2 was the voice of Mr. Pegasus, a talking table."



Tansy Gold, who remembers Mr. Pegasus. . . .

[kas125]

23. OMG, I remember it!! I've asked SO many other people if

they do and nobody I know remembers Susan's Show. I wanted a flying chair SO badly...

[Tansy_Gold]

26. Yes! Yes! People looked at me like I was nutz when I described the show. . . .

And then, thanks to the intertubes and the google thing, I found that website and felt better knowing I hadn't made the whole thing up.

"A flying kitchen stool and a talking table? Are you nucking futz???????"


Tansy Gold, who is, in fact, not nucking futz

[kas125]

37. I was pretty little when it was on, but I remember sitting on

our kitchen stool and wishing it could fly. Lol, I did the google thing several years ago, too and was relieved to know I hadn't imagined it because nobody I knew had a clue what I was talking about. I guess now there are two of us!

[Ghost of Tom Joad]

56. all I can say is

Yikes! I remember her? Kudos to you. I also wanted that chair, my grandmother had a table like that, I was always waiting for it to talk to men, never happened.

[Tansy_Gold]

77. Three of us!!!!

What made me craziest of all was running into people here in AZ who had grown up in Chicago the same time I did. NONE of them remembered Susan's Show or Mr. Pegasus. I mean, if you had seen something like that as a child, how could you NOT remember it? It's so. . . . . bizarre.

So I had started to think I had either imagined it -- and I've been accused many times of having a vivid imagination -- or that no one but I had ever watched the show.

Thank you, Barney Frank, for uniting us poor souls who remember Susan and Mr. Pegasus! :grouphug:


Tansy Gold, who also remembers Elmer the Elephant and of course the beloved Garfield Goose and Oliver J. Dragon

[Tansy_Gold]

110. Because I can obsess about stupid crap like this. . . . .

I did find at least one picture related to Susan's Show at http://www.retroland.com/pages/retropedia/tv/item/412/

but can't get it to reproduce here.



and more info at http://www.tvparty.com/lostkids6.html

Chicago really did have some great original children's programming back then. Probably wouldn't hold up as politically correct now, but hey, we enjoyed it.



Tansy Gold, who isn't always politically correct herself these days.

[HDPaulG]

35. Thank you Barney ...

For not being reserved at the 'Freepers'

2. That was excellent.

Jonah Goldberg started this liberal fascism bullshit.

87. How dumb do you have to be to be influenced by that guy

He does however have the best TDS meltdown to date.

[delete_bush]

114. TDS meltdown?

Sounds interesting, but I'm not familiar with TDS or the event.
Could you explain?
thanks!

[Lilith Velkor]

122. TDS = The Daily Show

Jon Stewart interviewed him, and the results were spectacular.

[delete_bush]

139. Thanks.

The video on YouTube was taken down, but I found a shortened version on TDS website.

3. I love that man! I just effin love that man!

[calimary]

36. You took the pitter-pat outta my heart!

I LOVE that man, too!!!

On what planet do you spend most of your time?


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Ma'am, trying to argue with you is like trying to argue with a dining room table.


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Oh My Freakin' God!!!

Barney Frank, I SALUTE you!!!!! :patriot: :patriot: :patriot: :patriot: :patriot: :patriot: :patriot:

[Tx4obama]

4. Bravo Barney!

I watched a good portion of the Town Hall on the CNN stream earlier this evening and Barney Frank did one hell of a good job!

[niceypoo]

116. After seeing that, I'd definitely do him...

...and I'm not even gay!

[Chulanowa]

135. I feel like I need a cigarette - and I don't smoke!

Barney frank is one of those politicians who makes you want to move to their state just so you can vote for him

[mckara]

7. Amazing!

Never underestimate the stupidity of the American people!

[progressoid]

8. That's EXACTLY how they should be treated.

And not just that loon. Beck, Hannity, Grassley, etc. should also be given that treatment.

Way to go Barney.

[FourScore]

29. Exactly! k/r n/t

[left of center]

9. well said!!

Everyone has a right to an opinion, but not all opinions are equal. Good to see Barney lay into her for being so over the top!

[bulloney]

51. I've always said a person is entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts.

[SemperEadem]

134. well said...

I'll have to remember that one.

[ccharles000]

10. love him

[stlsaxman]

11. New term for tea baggers- "Dining Room Tables"

[TankLV]

12. LISTEN AND LEARN PEOPLE!!! THIS IS HOW IT IS DONE!!!

Way to go Barney...

[Ka hrnt]

14. I have to agree.

Barney laid down the law...I have a feeling that after this self-inflicted public humiliation (and after her Faux News appearance(s)) this woman will never say something so idiotic in public again.

[onestepforward]

13. Loved it! Perfect response!!! n/t

[tomm2thumbs]

15. furniture - how appropriate /nt

[MO_Dem]

16. Will always LOVE Barney Frank!

He's one of the best! :loveya:

[snot]

17. Remember to go rate it up on YouTube!

[Turborama]

50. Done, thanks for the reminder & thanks to Newsjock for posting this awesome ownage!

:kick: & R

[Larkspur]

18. This is the Barney Frank I do like

Good for him for smacking this morally vacant woman down.

[bumblebee1]

19. Great comeback!!!

However, it is insulting to dining room tables. A dining room table has a purpose in life.

Too bad, Rep. Frank. You would probably get a better response from a dining room table.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

20. Everyone needs to watch this, this is the best thing ever. Made me smile.

After a tough day.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

21. Barney has modelled the proper way to deal with an angry pinhead.

You do not validate their angry pinheadedness or respect it. You heap the scorn and derision on it that it so richly deserves.

[dmr]

138. Absolutely!

:)

[vanlassie]

22. I think Faux showed this in an out of context clip to "prove" that Barney Frank

is disrespectful to his constituents. Wish I had that clip.

[AntiFascist]

142. Too bad Faux News can't point out...

how the 'death panel' talk is particularly offensive to both Jews and gays. Barney Frank is the perfect one to slap down that individual.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

24. The crowd

seemed to be with him too, for the most part. Good job!

[suzanner]

25. wow- and they used to call hippies 'crispy critters'-

this woman is just one more of the weak minded, never read a book loonytoon. I've always admired Barney Frank and I am prouder than ever that he is in our government. Way to go, Barney!

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

27. the man is awesome

:toast:

[abq e streeter]

28. SEE ! look how easy, and FUN that was...all of you Democratic leaders could do this .

really. you could.

[Voice for Peace]

57. yes, yes well said

[sew crates]

30. He should have asked her to clarify

what she means by "nazi policies" and made her illustrate the supposed link. He should have made her look worse than that.

[PA Democrat]

93. Morning Joe played a longer clip and she brought up the Nazi T4 program

under which people deemed to be incurable were euthanized. A lot of mentally ill people were killed by the Nazis under Action T4. So her ranting was in essence over the "death panels" myth the right is pushing. She was also holding a poster of Obama with Hitler's mustache.

I think Barney Frank would have been foolish to waste any more time with this loon.

[hugo_from_TN]

141. She's part of the LaRouche group

Those Obama as Hitler posters she was holding all have "http://LaRouchePAC.com" printed on the bottom.

[usregimechange]

31. That how you do it. If you don't 70% of the public will believe complete BS

32. Typical flinty New Englander response by frank

I love it.

Come talk to me when you have something relevant to say.

That's why I love living up here. You spout nonsense and nobody give you the time of day.

AWESOME!!!

[NBachers]

33. These reptile freeptards use all the "socialist" advantages

OK- did this ignorant, vicious woman take the public streets to get to this event, or did she "blaze her own trail through the wilderness?"

Did she dig and maintain her own septic system, or does her toilet flush into a community-owned sewage system?

If her house were on fire, would she call her local Fire Department, or would she self-righteously battle and conquer the flames herself?

Does she count on her community's police department to maintain order and safety, or would she rather do without the police and Blast Criminals with her Own Guns?

Does she bring her water from a spring she located, or does it come from a faucet connected to the municipal water system?

Did she personally journey out to some fascist republican propagandist for her misinformation, or does it come to her tiny reptile brain via the public airwaves?

Does she raise and hunt for her own food, or does she rely on standards and safety procedures set and enforced by the government?

Did she pay for her own private schooling, or attend a public school?

Does she fly her own airplane, or does she use municipal airports and FAA-controlled airlines and routes?

Has she ever used public transit?

Does she intend to collect her Social Security if she reaches retirement age, or will she adhere to her "principles" and renounce it?

Does she keep her money in some "Free Republican Non-Socialist Depository," or does she use the FDIC-guaranteed banking system?

Does she process her own trash, or does she use the municipal collection system provided in her community?

Does she count on our nation's Armed Services to defend the USA, or is she out in her fatigues and Assault Rifle battling the Forces of Evil on her own?

You see, these ignorant hateful republican hypocrites take full advantage of every single one of our public "socialist" systems to spew their ignorance, hate, lies, and garbage into our lives. Why don't they follow the courage of their convictions and live without these common benefits?

[gtar100]

54. Excellent list.

Of special note - FDIC. It's okay in their minds to insure money but not human health. Why is that not surprising?

[unapatriciated]

72. lol Now my dad did do four of those things on your list and a few others not on there...

but he got smart moved to California joined the union and started building roads and bridges so that idiots like her could travel to their tea parties and call him and his President a Nazi.
Not to mention all those years he fought for her rights as a worker. At 81 my dad has a few stories about idiots like her.

[NBachers]

115. Your dad sounds like quite a dude

A guy who's walked down a lotta roads and still can talk the talk and deliver a smackdown when it's needed. A guy with some credibility. I hope I can be like that when I finally become a Real Grownup!

[FailureToCommunicate]

119. Great list of things oft taken for granted; every one with a story of struggle behind

it!

[beltanefauve]

152. Can I use this list

the next time my greedy yuppie BIL starts spouting off on Facebook?

[NBachers]

168. Of course you can. Add whatever you think would fit

and as far as your B-ILL is concerned:

Does he generate his own electricity, or does he use the juice that comes in from the power lines? Does he know how much private and public land has been co-opted by Big Government to give right-of-way for those power lines? Is he sponsoring this Big Government land-grab by subsidizing the power structure with his own money? What is he . . . some kinda . . . Socialist?????

[beltanefauve]

169. Thanks!

:toast: And thanks for having my back!

[create.peace]

161. great list!nt

[enola fay]

34. Perfect response!

This is why I <3 Barney Frank. Other dems could learn a thing or 2 from him.

[DUlover2909]

38. Hell yeah Barney! That's how you disgrace an idiot.

:dem: :kick: :yourock: :rofl:

[AzNick]

39. That is so funny...

Barney can be really funny...

[snake in the grass]

40. Snap! Snap! And...

...fucking Snap! That was excellent. Barney Frank is just too cool!

[JDPriestly]

41. Barney Frank is so right.

If she explained why she thinks Obama is like Hitler, maybe Frank could talk with her. But she just asserts calls Obama a name without explaining why she is calling him that name and expects Barney Frank to somehow respond. What a stupid woman. Why does she waste her time? Before she vents her anger, she needs to be able to explain why she is angry. Just comparing Obama to Hitler without explaining her reasoning is meaningless. I don't think that Barney Frank explained to her why he dismissed her with such a short answer. I wish he had.

[Voice for Peace]

65. you're right

better if he could have done that.
still, so refreshing to see somebody respond with honesty.

[GivePeaceAchance]

42. Well done Barney, you just can't debate the ridiculous. n/t

[bowens43]

43. This the only appropriate response to these nut jobs.

They need to be told loudly and publicly that they are too stupid to participate in the debate.

[ScottLand]

44. That is priceless!

We should all discontinue trying to have conversations with tables, er, I mean, freaking morans!

Way to go, Barney!

Yale Study:
U.S. Eugenics Paralleled Nazi Germany
by David Morgan

PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - U.S. doctors who once believed that sterilization could help rid society of mental illness and crime launched a 20th century eugenics movement that in some ways paralleled the policies of Nazi Germany, researchers said on Monday.

A Yale study tracing a once-popular movement aimed at improving society through selective breeding, indicates that state-authorized sterilizations were carried out longer and on a larger scale in the United States than previously believed, beginning with the first state eugenics law in Indiana in 1907.

Despite modern assumptions that American interest in eugenics waned during the 1920s, researchers said sterilization laws had authorized the neutering of more than 40,000 people classed as insane or ``feebleminded'' in 30 states by 1944.

Another 22,000 underwent sterilization from the mid-1940s to 1963, despite weakening public support and revelations of Nazi atrocities, according to the study, funded by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and the Merck Co. Foundation. MORE...

Chapter 5 The Nazi Eugenics Programs

The economy of Germany was in shambles at the end of World War I. The population was decimated. The government-this was the Weimar Republic, which was in power from 1919 until 1933-looked to popular eugenic theories for ways to restore and improve the health and physical wellbeing of the populace.

In 1932, inspired in part by Laughlin's Model Eugenics Law and other writings in the United States, the Weimar government drafted a plan for sterilizations of individuals with "hereditary illnesses." Many people were living in institutions, and they were costly to the country. Sterilizing them would prevent them from having children; some might then also be able to leave the institution and live on their own. The plan involved those to be sterilized (or their guardians) in decisionmaking, requiring prior consent to the procedure.

The next year, the National Socialists-Nazis-took control of Germany. On July 14, 1933, the new government issued its "Law for the Prevention of Progeny with Hereditary Diseases." This law was far more directive than the Weimar government's plan. People with so-called hereditary illnesses had to be sterilized, even if they objected. And the list of persons classified as hereditarily ill included those suffering from "congenital feeble-mindedness, schizophrenia, manic depression, hereditary epilepsy, Huntington's chorea, hereditary blindness, hereditary deafness, and serious physical deformities." People with chronic alcoholism could also be sterilized. The law established some 200 Genetic Health Courts at which teams of lawyers and doctors would subpoena medical records in order to choose candidates for sterilization. The Court proceedings were secret, and the decisions could rarely be reversed. MORE...

[Libertas1776]

59. That's how its done, baby!

But it is also pretty sad that Frank, instead of being able to have a an actual damn discussion on reform, has to spend his time scolding a grown woman for acting like an idiot.

[drm604]

88. But maybe if everybody shut down these people like he did

then they'd eventually shut up and the adults could have an actual discussion.

Fox News was replaying this while I was in line for my coffee this morning at Dunkin' Donuts. I laughed out loud and seriously pissed off all the jackasses in line with me!

[Gregorian]

112. Only now have I fully realized why prejudice is wrong.

Because stupidity comes in all forms. I see blacks who don't like Obama. I see intelligent looking people like this woman.

I always knew that America was full of idiots. But only now, after Obama has been lead into the White House by those of us who have brains, have I seen the fools of this country. They are members of my own family. Members of my government. Fools. But only foolish because they can't seem to see, or don't want to see. I'm not sure yet. It appears to be a blindness. So I should rephrase what I said, and say that there are so many blind Americans. And even that should be rephrased to blind people of the world. It's not just confined to the US. But I guarantee the Hitler talk would not go very far in Europe.

[eyepaddle]

129. Go Barney!

I wish more of our representatives would stand up to these morons, and call them out for what they are. Dolts.

[Jankyn]

130. I LOVE BARNEY FRANK! n/m

[Lorien]

131. Wanna have some fun? Post a comment at YouTube

the Freepers are losing it completely there.

[time_has_come]

132. Has this cracked the front page of YouTube? Not on there now...if not, why not?

It's gone viral, that's for sure. Links to it from CNN, Boston Globe, et al...

[time_has_come]

145. Now it's cracked the front page...likely will climb too. n/t

[SpankMe]

133. The man is flat out awesome. N/T

[kestrel91316]

136. He runs! He shoots! He scores!!!!!!

[kestrel91316]

137. Anyone who thinks the National Socialist Party of Germany had ANYTHING

whatsoever to do with the politics of socialism, for starters, automatically loses the right to call themselves sentient.

Furthermore, nothing in Obama's plan is socialist.

So she is way beyond STOOPID on two counts.

[tclambert]

140. I had a clever comment, but my dining room table is sassing me. Gotta go slap it down.

[Riley18]

143. Thanks Barney. He should be speaker because he sure can tell it like it is:)

[GoddessOfGuinness]

144. Funny...The title of the AP article I saw was "Rep. Frank lashes out at protester for Nazi remark"

as if he was brutalizing the poor dear.

Wish I could send him a box of hugs!

[time_has_come]

147. THIS HAS CRACKED THE FRONT PAGE ON YOUTUBE. GO VIEW IT AND RATE IT UP THERE!!!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

148. "tribute to the 1st amendment that this vile and contemptable nonsense is so freely propagated"

Awesome!

Yes, contemptible idiots waving hitler-pics of THE PRESIDENT need to have their assholery held up and wiped all over their shit-eating-grinny faces--the 1st amendment protects that too.

100,000 recs!

[Froward69]

149. this longer version is Jucy...

it gets better and better.

[mascarax]

156. thanks for posting this too!

And thank you, Barney. For not putting up with vile, contemptible nonsense.

[DutchLiberal]

157. These people are applauding millionaires who are evading their taxes...

Saying: "because they are taxed out of control over here"? And they protest when Frank says he wants to tax people who make more than $ 250,000? :wtf:

Why are these ordinary working-class people sticking up for the corporate douchebags who fuck them over and attacking a politician who wants to change it?

Do these people not use their brain *at all*?

[PSzymeczek]

164. They dream

that one of these years, they, too, will be that rich.

[mascarax]

166. That appears to be the case (not using their brains)

I know. I continued to be amazed by that too - people wildly applauding and shrieking in support of what you so eloquently term Corporate Douchebags (and I mean that sincerely!). How stupid is "stupid"?

I do not understand.

So what is the Dutch translation for "Corporate Douchebags"?

[DutchLiberal]

170. I don't think there's an apt translation...

I don't even know how to translate 'douchebag' into Dutch. I know what it means, and we have plenty of equivalents, but no specific word for 'douchebag', as far as I know. Isn't it a relatively recent expression?

We often talk about 'de grote graaiers aan de top', which means 'the big money-grabbers at the top'. But we are not as eloquent with words as you are. ;)

[happygoluckytoyou]

150. FIRST THE PITBULLS.... NOW THE DINING ROOM TABLES.... WHAT NEXT???

[BrklynLiberal]

151. I wish there were dozens more like Barney Frank in Congress!!!!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

153. She's probably a Lyndon LaRouche devotee

:silly:

[sweetroxie]

154. He's my Rep.

Lucky me. Lucky all of us to have him and his gumption working for us.

[harun]

155. Funny how CNN posted this and labeled it "Frank likens woman to 'dining room table'"

Biased asses.

[slutticus]

158. K and fucking R

[D23MIURG23]

159. K&R

[TheCowsCameHome]

160. This guy is the greatest, isn't he?

I love that guy.

[HughMoran]

162. Frank knows how to handle himself

Other Dems, please take note.

[Norrin Radd]

163. Holy shit! that was awesome.

[BrainGlutton]

165. There's no denying Barney Frank has balls!

Some of which are his own . . . ;)

[WestSeattle2]

167. Right on Barney! Way to tell that pathetic excuse for a

human being to STFU. That's exactly how these dumb fucks need to be treated. Call them out on their bullshit. They're too stupid to engage in intelligent discussion, so embarrass the hell out of the idiots and send them home. As soon as they exhaust their RushSarah talking points, they're like deer in the headlights.

[L0oniX]

171. Why do all these dumb fucks like to have balls dipped in their mouths?

Tea bagging dumb asses!
