Gotta love Barney Frank’s way with words.
During an appearance at Dartmouth Tuesday, a member of the audience, holding a picture of President Obama retouched to resemble Hitler, asked how he could support Nazi policy - aka health care reform.
Frank replied that he would revert to his ethnic heritage and answer a question with a question.
“On what planet do you spend most of your time?” he asked her.
“It is a tribute to the First Amendment that this kind of vile, contemptible nonsense is so freely propagated,” he said.
“Ma’am, 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.”
