"You want me to talk about it or do you want to yell?" he asked over and over when interrupted while trying to answer. Continued shouting brought a sterner rebuke.
"Disruption never helps your cause," he said more than once. "It just looks like you're afraid to have rational discussion."

I like when he said "why are you trusting the government? This is a democracy, take initiative for yourself." Funny because "initiative for yourself" in a democracy is always crushed by mob rule.
Who keeps electing Frank? Why does he keep running if he knows and admits government isnt to be trusted?

I love how rational thought can rebuke disruptive yelling.

LOL!
Ironically, this is another example of CNN editing and spinning footage to suit their needs.
Barney Frank was anything but "rational", attacking anyone who dared ask him a tough question.
Its funny that you posted this, because I was just saying how CNN edited their footage in order to mislead the viewer.
This is what Barney Frank was really like.
Who would anyone trust this guy? He ran a gay brothel out of his apartment, helped create the housing loan crisis and now hes insulting the Americans who employ him.

so let me get this straight,your saying Barney Frank handled that well?really?do you realize Frank has a microphone and the people don't?
how can they be heard over that mush mouth without yelling?And by the way turning the debate from health care to volume control is called deflection,an old trick.Even for you this is a stretch,or should I say stwetch?
The quality you are admiring is in your mind,because you are a decent person but there is nothing admirable about frank's reasons for having his town hall,it's hubris def.

What the hell is going on in your country when your elected officials can act like this and the people just accept it?

Regardless of what I think of Barney Frank, I got to give him credit for stepping up to the plate and having a town hall meeting.
You want to be able to yell at a congressman without him yelling back. That's just unrealistic.
