RUSH: You gotta hear this. Last night in Dartmouth, Massachusetts, Barney Frank was having a health care town hall meeting, a woman stands up and she\u2019s holding an Obama-as-Hitler poster. The woman wants to know why Barney Frank supports Obama\u2019s Nazi health care policy. And this is what Barney Frank said.<\/line><\/line>FRANK: When you ask me that question I\u2019m going to revert to my ethnic heritage and answer your question with a question: ‘On what planet do you spend most of your time?\u2019 You stand there with a picture of the president defaced to look like Hitler and compare the effort to increase health care to the Nazis, my answer to you is, as I said before, it is a tribute to the First Amendment that this kind of vile, contemptible nonsense is so freely propagated. Ma\u2019am, trying to have a conversation with you would be like trying to argue with a dining room table. I have no interest in doing it.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s fabulous and fantastic and hilarious that a woman shows up at a Barney Frank town hall meeting with an Obama-as-Hitler poster and this Nazi stuff, in his district! I mean this is unreal. But the killer for me was, here\u2019s Barney Frank, ‘What planet do you live on?\u2019 to this woman. Isn\u2019t it an established fact that Barney Frank himself spends most of his time living around Uranus? So when he starts talking about where people live, ha-ha-ha-ha, folks, this is all so much fun to watch, and it\u2019s all so much fun to analyze. Here\u2019s another exchange, another audience member with Congressman Frank.<\/p>\n

MAN: You\u2019re gonna bankrupt this country, you and the Democrats, and you\u2019re making a mistake. (cheers and applause) <\/p>\n

FRANK: Let me respond. I really — I don\u2019t understand your mentality. What do you think you accomplish by yelling? When you\u2019re through yelling, call me. Are you incapable of a conversation where you talk and then I talk? You have to interrupt? I don\u2019t ask you to trust me. I ask you to have a civil conversation.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, Barney Frank losing it here with his own people, scolds the crowd for interrupting him. Next he gets booed when he tries to say that Medicare isn\u2019t bankrupt.<\/p>\n

MAN: The government is not the church. Socialism is taking money that people don\u2019t want to give, assuming that you can do better with that money than they can.<\/p>\n

FRANK: Well, I disagree that it\u2019s socialism to have unemployment compensation. Is Medicare bankrupt? No, it\u2019s not technically bankrupt. It needs more money. (crowd laughs) If we hadn\u2019t gone to the war in Iraq, we would have more than enough money to pay for health care.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Somebody is putting the news out there, folks, that Social Security is going to be in default in two years. Yeah, Social Security in default in two years. We\u2019re trying this massive health care plan. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: A little tidbit of information about the woman at the Barney Frank protest — and again, let\u2019s see. I want to hear that. Play number ten. Audio sound bite number ten. A woman holding an Obama-as-Hitler poster asks Barney Frank why he supports Obama\u2019s Nazi health care policy. <\/p>\n

FRANK: When you ask me that question I\u2019m going to revert to my ethnic heritage and answer your question with a question: ‘On what planet do you spend most of your time?\u2019 You stand there with a picture of the president defaced to look like Hitler and compare the effort to increase health care to the Nazis, my answer to you is, as I said before, it is a tribute to the First Amendment that this kind of vile, contemptible nonsense is so freely propagated. Ma\u2019am, trying to have a conversation with you would be like trying to argue with a dining room table. I have no interest in doing it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, Larry King on CNN showed that clip, showed that video clip of Barney Frank whacking the woman because of what planet she lives on. Even though, again, we all know that Barney Frank patrols Uranus. In the full video, the woman makes it clear… Well, she\u2019s a Democrat. She\u2019s a Lyndon LaRouche Democrat. She is not a conservative. She is not. We had this caller in the first hour, ‘Rush, you gotta get these people to stop it. It\u2019s making us look bad.\u2019 This is a Lyndon LaRouche Democrat showing up. A lot of these town hall people protesting are Democrats showing up at their own congressman\u2019s office. There are so many myths and stereotypes out there that are being blown to smithereens in this argument, too. All of it is positive. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Gateway Pundit has revealed, apparently there was some wacko woman that showed up, not the one carrying the Nazi picture, but some wacko woman showed up at Barney Frank\u2019s town hall and identified herself as a doctor. And she\u2019s not a doctor. She\u2019s an idiot. Sheila Leavitt, a nutty, annoying, unrelenting Newton, Massachusetts, lefty who homeschools the kids and raises chickens to share eggs with neighbors, not to eat \u2019em. She\u2019s a vegetarian. She shows up and she says she\u2019s a doctor. Now, this is the second or third time at a Democrat town hall meeting somebody stood up as a doctor, ‘We love the plan, Mr. Frank, we love the plan, Mr. Obama.\u2019 <\/p>\n

What is it with these Democrats and their attraction to fake doctors? Well, the answer is very simple. Everything they are doing is fake; everything is a head fake; everything is deceit; everything is fraud. They have to send the union thugs out to try to intimidate the people who are showing up out of genuine passion. It\u2019s so great because they\u2019ve got all this power, and now they\u2019re just showing everybody who they are, what they are, and people are seeing it. And when Obama loses that commodity that he had, the trust, you don\u2019t get that back. When people start doubting you, and you are The Messiah, and you lose your messianic status, I don\u2019t know how you get it back. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
