That may be, but it will in no way help the image most people have of Democrats and healthcare.

If you're trying to win a PR battle, you don't spout off like that - no matter how much the person deserves it.

compared to the teabagging Republican crazies at these town halls, the Dems are golden -- nm - farmer ted Aug 19, 07:53
I disagree. the kind of misinformation that's being spread out there needs to be hit head on. - znufrii Aug 19, 07:14 25
- Then hit it with hard facts, not matching someone's frothing at the mouth. - Inigo Aug 19, 07:17 24
  - It's the political equivalent of calling "elves". - znufrii Aug 19, 07:21 2
    - See my post to Jack. No matter what you say, it won't matter to the crazies of either side. - Inigo Aug 19, 07:25 1
      - people aren't looking to be convinced it's a reasonable, thought-out option. - znufrii Aug 19, 07:29
  - Whether he likes it or not, he works for her. Respect is due regardless. -- nm - Scorpion Aug 19, 07:19 3
    - Worst. Boss. Ever. -- nm - znufrii Aug 19, 07:22 2
      - I don't agree with what she said, it was completely baseless. However, that doesn't excuse his response. -- nm - Scorpion Aug 19, 07:25 1
        
        I think that *precisely* excuses his response. -- nm - znufrii Aug 19, 07:31

    - No, just hit back with facts. The frother may not understand or care, but you're not doing it for them. - Inigo Aug 19, 07:23 15
      - How do you respond with facts to someone calling Obama Hitler? And isn't Frank Jewish? - JaxSean Aug 19, 07:31 14
        
        Tear the accusation apart piece by piece. From the article, they called it a Nazi policy. - Inigo Aug 19, 07:42 12
        
        it's not worth the effort. he said something about comparing providing more americans with health care to the nazis. that's all the tearing apart it - mafic Aug 19, 07:59
        
        They were holding up pictures of Obama with a Hitler mustache. So, yeah, they were equating Obama with Hitler. -- nm - CovingtonCat Aug 19, 07:45
        
        I'd hardly call Frank's response "freaking out". I was a solid rhetorical put down of a question that didn't dignify a response. - znufrii Aug 19, 07:45 9
        
        So, strike down the question using the public speaking ability he should have. - Inigo Aug 19, 07:53 8
        
        so in other words, do precisely what he did? - znufrii Aug 19, 07:55 7
        
        and... - znufrii Aug 19, 07:59 3
        
        "On what planet do you spend most of your time?" - Inigo Aug 19, 08:00 2
        
        for Barney Frank, that's downright tame. -- nm - znufrii Aug 19, 08:02 1
        
        (and did you watch the clip, or are you just going by the article?) -- nm - znufrii Aug 19, 08:07
        
        Having a "D" after his name. - BB Aug 19, 07:59 2
        
        I vote democrat. I voted for Obama. So no. -- nm - Inigo Aug 19, 08:01
        
        :P - znufrii Aug 19, 08:00
        
        The world is flat. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 19, 07:33
