Barney says 'I think you aren't being fully honest here' to Harvard Law Student Joel Pollack.

Honesty Barney? You are a fine one to challenge anyone on their honesty.
He has lied about Fannie and Freddie all down the lie.
He took no responsibility in this matter at all. Why he continues to get elected is beyond me.
There must be a great political machine in his state or a lot of misinformed folks.-

It's the same corrupt political machine from the Joe Kennedy era. It makes the Chicago machine look almost legit.

As to those preparing to defend Barney on the Freddie and Fannie issues, if he wasn't guilty, we would have had the very public hearings with CEO's and politicians subpoenaed. The the shouts of fake indignation along with the press sitting in front of office buildings while people are arrested. This is a total white wash/cover up. -

It's unfortunate that the inquiring student didn't have some of the YouTube Videos on hand of Congressman Frank's comments; comments which Mr. Pollack first alluded to, and Barney wouldn't DIRECTLY answer. It would be a pleasure to have this Creature (which poses as a Congressman) confronted with his own words and then see how he would try to weasel his way around them. Too good to be true, and Barney, though he is a despicable excuse for a human being, is too much of a lawyer (the main reason he is incapable of giving a straight answer) to let himself be maneuvered into such a position. Too bad, for all of us.
Thanks for another great posting, J, and please keep them coming.

I found it telling that Barney 'allowed' the kid the 'right to the freedom of speech' because he was a student!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think 'Lord Barney' needs to realize that 'all Americans' have that right and not just students or 'select members' of the Govt and press.
I personally think the student's question was very valid and to the point. So why couldn't Lrd Barney give a straight answer? -

Just as the MSM downplayed Rep. Frank's commencement address of a few years back, when he credited, "From each according to his abilities; to each according to his needs" to our U.S. Constitution instead of the "Communist Manifesto". I can't even find this gem on YouTube. It would be fantastic to have a copy now that Congressman Frank is in the news so often. Do you remember seeing this and where I might view a copy? It got very little "air-time" from the MSM, for obvious (Leftist) reasons. I believe it was approximately 10 years ago, at Yale, Harvard, or possibly a high school graduation. My news station only played a very short clip. -

Great Post!! Thanks. It was refreshing! The young man has a head on his shoulders. Hope he keeps coming and gets elected to high office!! He thinks and asks others to do so as well and takes no guff off of anyone.

What the video proves is liberal progressive politicians have nothing but contempt for their constituents. How totally disrespectful. Barney acted like this guy was a Fox journalist instead of a voter. Barney has forgotten he is suppose to be serving the public not rule over them.

I have no respect for Barney F. He is as low down as they come.

Defensiveness is a good gauge for revealing the guilty. He was very defensive to say the least.
If you don't want to talk with the youth and answer their questions, then don't go talk to the youth to answer their questions.
Poor public service from a man who has many crossed wires. -

"When Rep. Frank says "what should have I done?" and Joel says "i'm a
student and your the representative" and Rep. Frank says "which
allows you to say things you can't back up" Joel should have said "no,
it means you as the representative of American people make decisions
on our behalf, so you shouldn't be asking me what should you do, or
else we don't need you."
I agree!
