Video: Guy who helped wreck the economy touts his “work” on the subprime crisis

He’s far too modest: In fact, he’s been “working” on the crisis for years. I’m honestly speechless. If you’re not, read this or watch this and you will be. O’Reilly, who’s never speechless, sums things up well enough below.
Naturally, Frank’s response to McCain reminding voters of his complicity in the subprime crisis is to accuse him of homophobia, just like he accused the GOP of racism for linking the economic crisis to the mortgage disaster, just like he accused Bush of “ethnic cleansing by hurricane” to squeeze a few extra political points out of Katrina. The man never met a bad-faith accusation he didn’t like. And his party loves him.

Somebody is running against him? Where do I send donations?

mush mouth!

How vero posumus…
Chudi on October 29, 2008 at 6:07 PM
I said when BO did that interview; that only BO could make Frank look good.
Good job OReilly.
lorien1973 on October 29, 2008 at 6:09 PM
I hope the people of the good state of Michigan vote him back in and get what’s coming to them.
JiangxiDad on October 29, 2008 at 6:10 PM
Again, I think a politically educated populace is the most important need. Thanks again, MSM.
Spirit of 1776 on October 29, 2008 at 6:10 PM
Was that done by his intern with a video program on their laptop?
wise_man on October 29, 2008 at 6:10 PM
What a complete louse. The sad thing is that he’ll just keep getting reelected. He’d have to run a prostitution ring out of his condo to lose–
Oh wait, that already happened, didn’t it?
Pope Linus on October 29, 2008 at 6:11 PM
You mean Massachusetts, right?
Pope Linus on October 29, 2008 at 6:13 PM
Deaf blind and dumb. That’s the only explanation I can come up with that would explain why Barney’s constituents keep voting this rat bastard in.
Guardian on October 29, 2008 at 6:14 PM
I think we have found ourselves an example of a “Godless Politician”………..
Seven Percent Solution on October 29, 2008 at 6:14 PM
That takes some serious seeds, either his or his boyfriend’s.
If he were a state puke I would say oh well, but he will hurt the rest of us if he stays in office. Do the people of Michigan need to be grubbing for acorns and eating shoe leather before they figure out their reps are morons?
Bishop on October 29, 2008 at 6:14 PM
I saw this last night. LOL! Gotta give him credit!
lodge on October 29, 2008 at 6:14 PM
Michigan is what’s coming to them.

Oh shiite, he’s from Massachusetts? My bad. All these “M” states being taxed to death, I got them mixed up.
Bishop on October 29, 2008 at 6:16 PM
Did he just say…
…?
Or am I just insane? It didn’t make any sense if he said “election”.
MadisonConservative on October 29, 2008 at 6:17 PM
Saw this last night on O’Reilly and could not believe my eyes!
It appears that by lying often and loud that people will believe anything.
Or ignorance is bliss….

Watch out, Barney will call you a homophobe!

Take a good long look at Barney Frank’s face everyone…….. a real long look.
Now, go open up your 401K statement and have another look, a good long look concentrating on that negative sign (-) in front of “this quarter’s action”……….
Now go back and look at Barney Frank’s face again…….. and then listen to his political ad.
………………. happy?
Seven Percent Solution on October 29, 2008 at 6:20 PM
I hope after he loses hid reelection bid, he can find a job packing fudge or something like that.

Unbelievable.

Is that really the problem? LMAO…
There is no right answer to that, BTW.

Grue in the Attic on October 29, 2008 at 6:23 PM
Barney Frank is an expert on business issues. He ran a gay prostitution service out of his D.C. apartment.
Cicero43 on October 29, 2008 at 6:24 PM
No shame. No honor. No class.
ronsfi on October 29, 2008 at 6:25 PM
One of the many who would gladly do what they could to enable BHO to bend the American people over. He’s already done more than enough to us with his involvement with Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac.
Gohawgs on October 29, 2008 at 6:25 PM
This person is ruling Queen of the Realm of Fannie/Freddie meltdown. What gall to make such an ad. A deeply contemptible person.

I live in MA and this is the 1st time I have ever seen BF running prime time tv ads – in previous years his re-election was a foregone conclusion. I’ve never heard of his opponent

He can do whatever he wants because in that damn state republicans have little chance of winning against a democrat
Defector01 on October 29, 2008 at 6:33 PM
Good luck with that.
Pent. on October 29, 2008 at 6:37 PM
That jackass can carry on unfettered as long as he stays in the Peoples Republic of Massachusetts. Any state that elects him, and Kerry and Kennedy is hopeless
rplat on October 29, 2008 at 6:37 PM
His party is just as screwed up as he is. The folks in Massachusetts must be seriously inbred or something. There is no rational excuse for keeping this rat bastard around.

Up next is Hitler running for re-election based on his record of building bridges with the Jewish people – in spite of the evil rabbis working to stop him.
Grafted on October 29, 2008 at 6:44 PM
Is there a more despicable group than Pelosi, Reid, and Frank?
marklmail on October 29, 2008 at 6:47 PM
Only in a state of inbred liberals could this scumbag even try to lie on this level of disception. In a cesspool like Massachusetts, human trash on this level can be elected by a majority of voters to represent their best interests.

Should that not be “The man never met a GOOD-faith accusation he didn’t like.” ?
Biyatch that he is, and all.

Something’s up. This scumbag hasn’t needed to pay for a political ad for like….. forever.
MrC_5150 on October 29, 2008 at 7:09 PM
hey! hey! heY! hEY! HEY!!!!!!
Michigan has enough troubles with Jennifer Granholm and governor and the lockhold of the unions without you attaching Barney Frank to the state and then trash talking it!!!!!
Especially since I am about to move back there (provided I can find employment).
The sad reality is that Barney Frank will be reelected just like William Jefferson will be reelected down here in my current Congressional District. Even nearly $100K in marked bills isn’t enough to dissuade the stupid demographic that makes up most of Jefferson’s constituents. This same group of stupid poor people will also elect Obama in a walk because he’s black and promising them the moon and vowing to stick it to people who work. Obama could be king of Louisiana if wanted.
highhopes on October 29, 2008 at 7:11 PM
Reject Barney Frank!
Defeat Barack Obama!
AdrianS on October 29, 2008 at 7:11 PM
This inept assclown should be perp walked in cuffs to a min. security prison to share a cell with Bubba the ball crusher. Disgusting pieces of human debris these Dems elect.

There’s a special place reserved in hell for Barney Frank. He’s already assigned to be one of the 72 “virgins” for Mohammed Atta.

Domino on October 29, 2008 at 7:18 PM
The fact that Hotbottom is running ads at all in a district he wins by well over 60% every 2 years is AMAZING. He has been damaged. In 2 years I hope someone can step forward to oust this lout.
coondawg on October 29, 2008 at 7:19 PM
I like raisins, Domino. I would not insult raisins in such a way as to liken them to Bawnie Fwank.

I hope that if McCain is elected that Frank is tried and convicted of his crimes.

Ha! Not in today’s schools.

com’n home to roost,
better yet,I hope the FBI,

for a visit!!!haha.
canopfor on October 29, 2008 at 7:33 PM
This man showed he had no shame when, after raping a 17 year old page (statutory), he refused to resign.
Why should this be any different.
VolMagic on October 29, 2008 at 7:41 PM
And, lest we forget, he got a standing ovation in the Capitol building for his “bravery.”
Black is white and up is down, and Barney Frank is an honorable man(?).
VolMagic on October 29, 2008 at 7:43 PM
Please, don’t get me banned…
As someone on another post said…this is the way you talk when you have abused your mouth that way he has…
right2bright on October 29, 2008 at 7:47 PM
The problem with Frank is that you can’t insult him.
You could say:
Stick it up your *ss, but that won’t work
Go *uck yourself, but that won’t work
Go blow, that won’t work
Suck on it, that won’t work
Up yours, that won’t work
Stick it where the son don’t shine, nope
You *ick head, nope
You girly man, still misses
I am running out, I know
Why don’t you just tell it to us straight…
right2bright on October 29, 2008 at 7:51 PM
vote for Barny Frank he will give you a reach around .
“I am Barney frank and i approve this message” {wink wink nudge nudge}
Mojack420 on October 29, 2008 at 7:56 PM
Straight? Nah, that won’t work. He’ll call you a homophobe.
manwithblackhat on October 29, 2008 at 8:02 PM
highhopes on October 29, 2008 at 7:11 PM
Absolutely, Frank will be reelected. The one-party state Massachusetts also gave us democratic state Sen. Dianne Wilkerson. Who was just caught accepted bribes in a money-for influence sting. This ugly bitch was photograph stuffing money into her bra. She a convicted tax cheat with all kind of legal problems, but Massachusetts will reelected her also.
It must be in the frickin water. My State would hang these ass/holes!

phineas on October 29, 2008 at 9:49 PM
Frank, Franken, Frankly this election has it’s share of louses.
Bear with me for a mo-
I want Coleman to win in Minnesota, of course, but it would be quite fun if Franken won, and had to work with President McCain, had to face the Republican Senators he has insulted for years.
I think Al Franken, if he won, would curl up in a ball and cry like a little girl. He doesn’t have the temperament for public service, and I think he would be completely useless.
Barney Frank should be in prison soon, if there is any justice. With a straight cellmate.
Doug on October 29, 2008 at 10:34 PM

When they deified that worthless POS John Kennedy they deified the Democrat party in Mass. It doesn’t matter what low, crawling scum oozes from the Democrat machine, they WILL be elected by divine right. Someday the Kennedy mystique will die off with the last of that squalid bunch, but not yet. Romney was a rare bright light in Massachusets politics. Don’t count on too many of those. Bawney Fwank is the norm.
SKYFOX on October 30, 2008 at 6:26 AM
right is right left is wrong.
TomLawler on October 30, 2008 at 7:53 AM
All of those may be too close to call! How about an all-star team of Franken, Olbermann, and Sheehan?
Grafted on October 30, 2008 at 8:22 AM
Barney Frank is a fetid piece of rancid monkey puke. How anyone could vote this assclown back into office completely defies any reasonable sort of explanation.
pilamaye on October 30, 2008 at 8:50 AM
Outstanding hubris meets meagre acting talent.
He should be in an Oliver Stone movie.

Yup, people who vote for worms like this deserve exactly what they get. I’m constantly amazed at the quality of candidates we keep voting into office. Mind boggling.
