I wish all politicians could be this cool and well, this frank (nice pun there). There is no reasoning with these people, and I do suspect many of them have been planted at the meetings to spout this nonsense and lies about healthcare reform–in order to disrupt the meeting and get off topic.

At this Barney Frank (Sen. from Mass) town hall meeting in Dartmouth, MA, a constituent asks, “Why are you supporting this Nazi policy?”

Frank responds: “On what planet do you spend most of your time?” He then calls her approach “vile, contemptible nonsense.” He closes by saying: “Trying to have a conversation with you would be like arguing with a dining room table.”

Now, I think he did the right thing by refusing to even engage her. Instead, he let her know right off the bat that he wasn’t going to waste time with this garbage, or fall into their ploy of trying to distract the meeting with these absurd accusations. Although, I would be curious to hear her response–her explanation of how trying to improve healthcare, and allowing more Americans to have health insurance and thus be able to pay for expensive medical bills, is akin to Nazi policy. You have to wonder, does she even know what a Nazi is?
