Barney Frank Named ‘Porker of the Month’
 
Liberal Fascist Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), chairman of the House
Financial Services Committee, has been named “Porker of the Month” by
Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) http://www.cagw.org because
of his criticism of bonuses for AIG employees while Frank himself has
supported bailouts for failing banks and lenders.

YOU DON'T!

Because he supports bailouts for companies whose failure might make
our economic crisis worth, he ALSO is required to support giving the
executives in those failing companies huger bonuses? And if he
doesn't, THAT makeshim "Porker of the Month"?

I can see being against the bailouts in general. Some people are. But
to attack him for being against bonuses to executives who got us in
this mess in the first place?

Why, that doesn't make any sense AT ALL.

By the way, Frank is a liberal (although fairly moderate by most
standards - being gay doesn't automatically make you a leftist
extremist). But he's not a fascist in any actual sense of the word.
That also doesn't make any sense AT ALL.


STOP THE LIBERAL FASCIST PROPAGANA LIES!

Hard to take anyone who uses the phrase "liberal fascist" seriously.

Seriously.

You might actually take the time out to explain the original,
nonsensical claim, rather than just YELL at the top of your lungs. But
that would have meant using your brains.

Serious scholars of history and economics take "Liberal Fascism" very
seriously:

H.G. Wells in a speech at Oxford in 1932 called for a "Liberal
Fascism"; and Rexford Tugwell, a leading member of Roosevelt's Brain
Trust, said in 1934, "I find Italy doing many of the things which seem
to me necessary…. Mussolini certainly has the same people opposed to
him as FDR has. But he has the press controlled so that they cannot
scream lies at him daily"

Please, refrain from spitting propaganda lies.

Back to the 30s? You aren't making much of case there, son, but it *does*
distance you from that barking whack-job Goldberg.
