LOL, Barney Frank couldn't think his way out of a paper bag. His voice has been constently one of uncomprehensible stupidity, along with a complete absence of reason or judgement.

I believe Mr. Frank was referring to people like yourself in the comments being referred to,

However, unless you support them with some evidence, there's no way we can know what are facts and what aren't. Don't conflate ontological and epistemic problems.

Unless you live in an isolated, uncommunicative, shielded part of the planet, where no other people interact, and no expansive view of present reality is possible, the evidence IS your environment. Not what some joker tells you it is, but what it actually is.

If Franks called me stupid, it would tend to confirm my well above average IQ.

Which has no bearing on any position Barney Frank holds or espouses, but lets not let that get in the way of a good rant

I'm not a big fan of Barney Frank, but his rebuttal against that LaRoche woman was great.

I'm always amused when the intellect of the Harvard educated Chariman of the House Finance Committee is impugned by some anonymous jackass on the internet. or, in other words, allow me to rephrase your post to be more reflective of what you actually meant:

Will someone PLEASE pay attention to me?

Yes, Bawney is known for saying that there is no problem whatsoever with either Fannie or Freddie (he was on the committee overseeing them), and that we needed MORE, not less, subprime lending.

erm, I do believe that was Act III Scene ii of Julius Caesar, not Anthony and Cleopatra

That scene in Anthony and Cleopatra is, if I recall, a dialogue between Dominitus Enobarbus and Agrippa

I thought it was self-evident. It is one of the more well-known lines from the quill of the Bard.

I'm not arguing. There's no need to argue facts. They just exist on their own.

It is not a fact that bigotry and racism are more found in the left than the right of the spectrum. White supremacists, neo-nazis, KKK, the old Nazis and all the fascism they represented -- all of them, right-wing, as was Timothy McVeigh, the Branch Davidians, etc etc. You haven't presented one single solitary FACT to back up your claim.

What you did was make a claim. Calling it a "fact" does not magically make it one. What you made was a claim, theoretically arguable, but your refusal to argue in defense of it shows a complete insecurity in the truth of it, and a complete unwillingness to communicate whatsoever. Your "claim" goes unsupported, and, as such - falls flat on its face.

And is dismissed.

You know, if you're going to go around accusing other people of stupidity, it might help if you didn't consistently misspell basic words that even incomprehensibly stupid people such as Barney Frank could easily get right. At least, that's my own judgment on the issue, genius.

This is nonsense. The blank slate has been thoroughly trounced a long time ago. Tabula rasa is bullshit.

Seems my well intending advice has failed. Alas, I am left with little choice but to consider this thread thoroughly derailed.
