    Re: Barney Frank to O'Reilly: "Your Stupidity Gets In The Way"

     The Right wants to make Barney the Fall guy for Fannie/Freddie and while I am no big Fan of his it really ain't his fault...Based on the information he had available his assessment used in the quote would have been accurate...At that time it was not known that the ratings were all bunk...Once that was discovered the bottom fell out...So at the time Barney made this assessment he was looking at the holdings based on the ratings, which later turned out to be bunk....not his fault...

    I think from watching this that O"Reilly bought a ton of stock in fannie and freddy and lost his butt , and he can not handle it and wants someone to blame , what a door knob he is .

     Yeah O'Reily gets a little heated I agree, but I see his point...maybe you should go back and listen to what Slobbering Barney said in the first part of the video.

     

    Yeah Seti you're still a commie!

    An excerpt from the interview on Huffington post (my highlights)

    "FRANK: I didn't say swell. I didn't say swell. No, I said in fact in that quote that you played and didn't listen to because you're busy ranting that it's not a good investment. I said that at the time. I did think we were going to improve things going forward. Yes, we had some things that needed improvement.

    O'REILLY: All right, you want to - here, let me read you your quote here. OK? OK? "I do think the prospects going forward are very solid."

    FRANK: But that's not the part about it not being a good investment.

    O'REILLY: Now, people bought stock when you said that.

    FRANK: You are distorting it. Bill, you're lying by your words.

    O'REILLY: This is what you said.

    FRANK: What about the part where.

    O'REILLY: Not lying. And I played it and I read it.

    FRANK: What about the part where I said it wasn't a good investment?

    O'REILLY: You said it's not the best right now, but going forward this is going to be solid.

    FRANK: Right..

    O'REILLY: People lost millions.

    FRANK: .(INAUDIBLE) right now. I didn't say solid, I didn't say swell. You distort consistently. And you think ranting and raving."

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Sometimes people do get worked up when they are lied to. I think, with this administration, more of us should.

     

    In late 2004, Govt. sponsored enterprise subcommittee was recommending more Fannie/Freddie oversight. Dems not only shot down the idea, because there is nothing wrong with Freddie/Fannie, but criticised the chairman. (video on YouTube)

     Of course you do...losing sucks...it is supposed to feel that way...

    Us on the other side are digging it though!  Go Obama Go!

    Bill like Oberman is just bottom of the barrel journalism...all sensationalism no substance...tow sides of same coin...not worth our time...

    The last time somebody tried to use the above statement he was called everything from a liar to things much worse and then they wanted to impeach him, Oh yeah I think that that topic had something to do about WMD's

    Re: Barney Frank to O'Reilly: "Your Stupidity Gets In The Way"

     Well that was because they were liars...and there was/is proof they were lying...now if you can prove that he knew the ratings were bunk back then I will certainly take a look at the information...

    RB, in the interview excerpt above BFrank can't even tell the truth for 10 comments. DOCUMENTED above. Watch the vid again if you have to.

    Truth is the lowest common denominator. Even if/when you won't accept it. Build your legacy buddy!    Most of us here can watch and listen to the comments folks make. Even BFrank. And remember them too.

    I long for the day when honesty and facts sway a debate. I long for a day when our sheeple return from their daze and again look at the facts that are clearly available.

     Guys, all these liberal zombies think that all politicians on capital hill are gods and would not dare speak out against them in fear the Obama Nazi Police will break down their doors.

     

    Slobbering Barney said what he said and then tried to deny it, thats the beautiful thing about video the LIARS will always be caught even when the LEFT can't see it.

    oy vey and again with the no wmd's, how can this be when our troops found ricin filled artillery rounds and we did haul out 500 metric tonnes of yellow cake, great for a nice little dirty bomb!

    Re: Barney Frank to O'Reilly: "Your Stupidity Gets In The Way"

     Well Iceman that is news to me...Please show me the story...I would love to hear about this...Too tonnes of Yellowcake... lead on...let us see it...

    Re: Barney Frank to O'Reilly: "Your Stupidity Gets In The Way"

    RB, very well documented and discussed here. Probably before you in all fairness. Do a little research and get back to us. We won't mind if you have a little yellowcake on your face.

    Re: Barney Frank to O'Reilly: "Your Stupidity Gets In The Way"

     I did SOME research on this one and found little...I did find a few stories that mentioned the 500 tonnes of Yellow cake but could not locate any DOD material to support the claim...Still looking into the story...do you have source that I might believe?  such as DOD, Pentagon...something like that?

    In researching this one though it did bring up some questions to me...In my study I stumble upon the references to the Medical Isotopes in Iraq...I was not aware that these are more radioactive than the yellow cake or even moderately processed material...Well that got me thinking to how much of That material there is in America and our lax security at such facilities...hmm...is this just a matter of time...are we worried about foreign materials when in reality they would probably just steal the necessary material for a bomb from one or several of our Medical facilities..

    FYI, it went to the GWN and off loaded in Montreal, from there it was sent to undisclosed locations. It is not surprising that you would question this, yet swallow global warming like a baby bird eating worms.

    Another good, accurate observation iceman. We'll probably hear the "I was only kidding" response. (liberal response # 2)
