What Barney Frank has to say about Sanders' criticism of Democrats

[charlyvi]

Barney Franks' comments on the Democratic Party... and Bernie:

[PJMcK]

1. Word (n/t)

[BootinUp]

2. Don't mess with Barney!

[Agnosticsherbet]

3. I like and admire Barney Frank.

[NanceGreggs]

4. Well ...

... that pretty well sums it up.

[charlyvi]

9. In the proverbial nutshell!

[Little Star]

5. Well said Barney!

[BlueCaliDem]

6. I love Barney Frank! He's so...frank! eom

[charlyvi]

8. LOL!

[Arkansas Granny]

7. That just about sums it up.

[Her Sister]

10. I am with Barney!

[Koinos]

11. Boom.

[charlyvi]

16. Mic Drop!!

[beachbumbob]

12. Extremist on the left and the right bring nothing to the table

We hear all the stuff everyday in DU..barney is an adult in the room..

[SaschaHM]

14. Drag him, Barney!

[George II]

15. Damn, that's good....

...for months I've been trying to think of a "diplomatic" (i.e., hide-safe) way to describe Sanders' move to Vermont from NYC. "White flighted his way out of the most ethnically diverse city in the country" is better than I ever could have come up with.

Thank you Congressman Frank, and thank you for putting this entire affair into crystal clear perspective.

[charlyvi]

17. Barney has a gift for doing that.

[SunSeeker]

18. TRUTH!

Thank you Barney!

[KewlKat]

19. Thank YOu Barney

[stopbush]

20. Bravo, Barney!

You speak for THIS Democrat with your takedown of that DINO.

[sarae]

21. Oh snap!

Go Barney!

[Thinkingabout]

22. Sanders who claims he is a progressive and socialists is trying to quiet Barney Frank.

Now this does not say much for Sanders. Guess he does not like liberal progressive people.

[charlyvi]

27. Sanders doesn't like anyone who dares to disagree.

He feels he is the smartest guy in the room; anyone who disagrees with him must be silenced. Barney; holwever, will NEVER be silenced and is just as smart and much more quick witted than Sanders ever will be.

[Thinkingabout]

31. Barnwy is faster.

[Walk away]

35. Judging by Bernie's interviews, especially with the NYDN, he isn't the brightest bulb in the box!

He looks even worse next to brilliant people like President Obama and Hillary Clinton.

I'm sure Barney, like most of the people Bernie has insulted, could easily make him look like a complete fool. But they have to be hands off so that they don't disturb Sanders' followers.

[brer cat]

23. Well said, Barney! nt

[asuhornets]

24. Beautiful!!!!!!! eom

[charlyvi]

29. I love the way he seems to speak in paragraphs.

[asuhornets]

30. lol...me too

[displacedtexan]

25. Absolutely perfect!

Frank manages to speak what's in our hearts, doesn't he?

[charlyvi]

32. Yes. It's perfect

[Walk away]

26. Here it is with a nice graphic!

[livetohike]

28. I love Barney Frank. #BarneyNotBernie for VP!

[yallerdawg]

33. I think we know now what's going to happen at that convention!

I wouldn't want to be a Bernie supporter!

[arely staircase]

34. Tell us what you really think, Barney

[FloridaBlues]

36. Sanders pissed off the wrong man. Go Barney!

[CrowCityDem]

37. Well, when you put it that way, lol!

[OKNancy]

38. I can't find a source for this anywhere.

sounds great but I sure would like to know when and where he said this.

I was with it until the jab about "white flight". I seriously doubt Barney Frank would throw that at Sanders.
Not his style.

[charlyvi]

40. Of course he would

Especially at someone who tried to have him removed as chair of the rules committee at the convention. His acerbic tongue is legendary.

[OKNancy]

44. I've done more investigation and this is a made up quote

I don't want to be using made up stuff like the other side does.

[charlyvi]

55. What do you have as proof?

[TwilightZone]

46. Yeah, I haven't had much luck, either. My gut says it's a fake.

[OKNancy]

47. I went to the facebook page where it is from

The consensus there is that it is made up. Now, it's GOOD!! I love a good put-down, but I always value accuracy.

[TwilightZone]

50. Agreed.

It gets to the heart of the matter even if it's not Barney's, but I'm in the always-verify camp, whenever possible. I tend to be skeptical of, well, pretty much everything.

[liberal N proud]

39. Perfect!

[sheshe2]

41. Yes Barney...

You got that right!

Don't mess with Massachusetts. We just had a 2 for 2 smack down. First Elizabeth Warren and now Barney Frank. How sweet it is.

[DemonGoddess]

42. HAH! Way to go!

[procon]

43. No wonder Sanders wants to kick him off the Convention committee. nt

[ismnotwasm]

45. Yup

That about sums it up

[NurseJackie]

48. Let it rip, Barney! That's fantastic!

[ProudProgressiveNow]

49. K&R nt

[underthematrix]

51. DAMN! Now that's some seriously deadly shade

M favorite part is "according to a 75 year old straight white male, who "white flighted" his way out of the most ethnically diverse city in the country, . . ." LAWD!

[texstad79]

52. Barney nails it! n/t

[riversedge]

53. Happy to give this good post the big 50 REC

[CherokeeDem]

54. Bravo Barney!!!!

Love this....

[wildeyed]

56. Ouch! That's going to leave a mark!

[Gothmog]

57. For this thread

[Tarheel_Dem]

58. YES!!!!!!!!!

Why anyone thought picking a fight with Barney Frank would be good idea, is beyond this mere mortal.
