Feel good video of the day: Barney Frank gets heckled at a campaign event

The Red Wave continues. Barney Frank is not only having trouble at the polls, he’s having trouble at his own campaign events.

“Fire Barney!” is the best cry heard in the Boston area since, “One if by land, two if by sea.”

  • What I would really like to know is how can a liberal be a liberal today? You look around see the failure of liberal policies: "Affordable housing", "War on Poverty", "Health Care Reform", the list goes on and on, every liberal wet dream policy a nightmare for the country yet you liberals advocate more of the same. If I can politely ask just one question, "how can you sleep at night you stupid pricks?"

  • Sadly, I think the people of MA have lost their way forever. Barney will be re-elected. What the hell, they put Teddy back in office after Chappaquiddick. Kennedy easily won re-election to another term in 1970 with 62 percent of the vote after killing Mary Jo.

  • The ANT
    AND THE
    GRASSHOPPER
    This one is a little different .....
    Two Different Versions ...
    Two Different Morals
    Old VERSION
    The ant works
    hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up
    supplies for the winter.
    The grasshopper
    thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
    Come winter, the ant is warm
    and well fed.
    The grasshopper has
    no food or shelter, so he
    dies out in the cold.
    MORAL OF THE OLD STORY:

    Be responsible for yourself!

    MODERN
    VERSION

    The ant works hard
    in the withering heat and the rain all summer long, building his house
    and laying up supplies for the winter.
    The grasshopper thinks the ant
    is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
    Come winter, the shivering grasshopper
    calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be
    allowed to be warm and well fed while he is cold and starving.
    CBS, NBC , PBS, CNN,
    and ABC show up to
    provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper
    next to a video of the ant
    in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.
    America is stunned by the sharp contrast.
    How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper
    is allowed to suffer so?
    Kermit the Frog appears
    on Oprah
    with the grasshopper
    and everybody cries when they sing, 'It's Not Easy Being Green...'
    ACORN stages
    a demonstration in front of the ant's
    house where the news stations film the group singing, We shall overcome.
    Then Rev. Jeremiah Wright
    has the group kneel down to pray for the grasshopper's sake.
    President Obama condemns the ant
    and blames
    President Bush, President Reagan, Christopher Columbus, and the
    Pope
    for the grasshopper's
    plight.
    Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid
    exclaim in an interview with Larry
    King that the ant has
    gotten rich off the back of the
    grasshopper,
    and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.
    Finally, the EEOC drafts
    the Economic Equity &
    Anti-Grasshopper Act
    retroactive to the beginning of
    the summer.
    The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number
    of green bugs and,
    having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated
    by the Government GreenCzar
    and given to the grasshopper.
    The story ends as we see the grasshopper
    and his free-loading friends finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while the government house he is in, which, as you recall, just happens to be the ant's old house,
    crumbles around them because the grasshopperdoesn't maintain it.
    The ant has disappeared in the snow, never to be seen again.
    The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident, and the house, now
    abandoned, is taken
    over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the ramshackle, once prosperous and peaceful, neighborhood.
    The entire Nation collapses
    bringing the rest
    of the free world with it.

    MORAL OF THE STORY:

    Be careful how you vote in 2010.

  • I don't know about those guys in MA. I'm pretty sure they would still be voting for Kennedy if he were alive.

  • I do think the people of Massachusetts have finally woke up and realized they have a snake in their pocket!

    • I so wish you were right. But I seriously doubt it. I have to wonder why they put him in there, in the first place--- And then, with all the known bad decisions, and corruption he's been involved in. It's the "devil you know" situations. I also think we are stuck with Reid in Nevada. and Boxer in California. Both of these clowns should be brought up on treason charges, along with Pelosi and Obomie-the-commie". I am pessimistic, and certainly not hatching my votes, until I've counted them.
      Vote often, the democrats do.
