I jumped to conclusions.

A lot of people on the internet at this moment are jumping to the same conclusion

This quote is being attributed to Barney Frank on social media sites, as you can see here for example:

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Way to go Dems. Kiss Hillary's ass and a big FU to Barney all in one post. This is not simple disagreement with a Democrat. This is way over the top. Hide!

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun May 29, 2016, 04:14 PM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No it is not over the top...this board is not a protected place for politicians.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Just because you don't agree with it doesn't mean it deserves a hide.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: We do not bash Democrats at Democratic Underground.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I don't know if the OP was a Barney Frank quote or not, and I am a Bernie Supporter who completely disagrees with the content of the OP, but "Fuck Barney Frank" is over the top as a response. So, reluctantly, hide.

There are Clinton suipporters who make their case in reasonable ways.

Then there is red-faced, huffing and puffing and sometimes incoherent Barney Frank.

But it's not that's he's mad at Sanders. It's just the way Barney the Bully is to everyone who dares cross his path.

ADD On Edit: The post above may not be Frank....But I've seen him in actoin and it is a good reflection of what a hotheaded jerk he can be...and not only to Sanders.

Fuck You Barney Frank today? Well, to be on the safe side "Fuck You Barney Frank" you lowlife sellout. The guy pens some lax laws for the financial community, then retires and takes a lobbying job for them, and we should listen to what this ass wipe has to say because????

Here is the link....Which leads to a post on Raw Story but, like the previous poster noted, it is not attributed to Barney.... I'd love to find the correct person to attribute the quote to. I'll keep looking...
