1844978health-care-franksffRep. Barney Frank was reportedly greeted with boos as the rep. approached to a town hall meeting on health care at a senior center in Dartmouth on Tuesday night. The event was apparently organized for a “health care” meeting was eventually targeted by the supporters of perennial independent political candidate Lyndon LaRouche. But to everyone’s surprise, Barney Frank retorted back at the agitators whilst giving them a dose of their own medicine.

“On what planet do you spend most of your time?” Frank retorted when an woman in the crowd allegedly compared US President Barack Obama’s push for health care reform to that of the policies of the infamous Nazis by flaunting a pamphlet that depicted the picture of the president with a Hitler mustache. No wonder the concerned lady was comparing the US president with that of Germany’s dictator, Adolf Hitler.

“This policy is actually on its way out. It already has been defeated by LaRouche. My question to you is that why do you continue to support a Nazi policy?” asked the aforementioned woman. Rep Barney Frank, quite agitated with the woman’s lashing out at Obama retorted back at her as he said, “You stand there with a picture of the president defaced to look like Hitler and compare the effort to increase the health care with that of the Nazis?” Barney Frank further added, “Trying to have a conversation with you would be like trying to argue with a dining room table….I have no interest in doing it.”

Protesters welcomed the attendees of the meeting by distributing pamphlets that criticized Frank’s push for health care reform and Obama’s policies.
