Bawney Fwank Lectures Occupiers For Not Voting In 2010 Midterms…
(Washington Examiner) — Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., rebuked the Occupy Wall Streeters for not voting in 2010 and gave the movement a lesson in political activity during an appearance on The Rachel Maddow Show last night.
“I’m a little bit unhappy when people who didn’t vote last time blame me for the consequences of their not voting,” Frank said. “I understand some of the people at Occupy Wall Street are kind of critical of [voting]. They think that’s conventional politics,” He referred such people to the example of the National Rifle Association. “[The NRA is] the most successful organization in America in getting its views adopted,” Frank observed, because “they very effectively identify who the Members of the Congress are and [of] the legislatures and vote for them.”
Maddow brought Frank onto the show after saying that Americans “across the political spectrum realize that they have been victimized by an economic system and a political system that tilts so disproportionately toward the one percent’s interests.” She added that “Democrats are trying to turn the upcoming elections in the direction of that sentiment.”

This from the windbag who brought up sub-prime mortgages and the housing bubble. Cut off his head, put a stake through his heart and cover him with garlic and he MIGHT stay dead. You get everything you deserve, Massachusetts. When are you people going to grow up.
DO THY BIDDING… Fabulous!
Pretty nervy from a corrupt career pol who made a fortune from corporate grabberment manipulating the housing bubble. Guess he figures these ows tools are dumb, and he’d be correct.
Criminal that keeps getting elected because he takes it up the poop deck.
Put this idiot in a straight jacket and ship his sorry ass to hell.
Yeah, I’m sure they were all gathered around a communal TV watching Maddow.
Another leftists like George Soros with their hands in the till
They’re all delusional It’s not just one or two democrats it’s every single democrat. I’ve never seen such lying and total bullshit in all my life!!!
By all estimates I’m positive that any number of my fellow & fellowette WZ citizen’s could accomplish much more in a day than Bawney.
Just saying.
Bawney Fwank is disgusting and brain dead….
Yes, OWS blames him for Great Depression: Bigger and Better.
But who told them that? Certainly not the left!
This is the first crack in the foundation. Even the left has begun to read from the right just so they can know what the hell is actually going on.
Guys, Barney is absolutely correct one one point: people who do not vote have no right to complain about the outcome.
He has a very valid point. The NRA is influential precisely because they can deliver voters.
A movement that is trying to sway vote-hungry pols with a platform that includes ‘not voting’ is destined to fail.
I have a first amendment right to complain about anything I want, including that inane meme.
And I refuse to vote when the choice is between too liberals. I will spew the tepid from my mouth.
Good, the more they are mad at the Dems, the less chance they will vote.
From all the polling, “not voting” (on their side) may just be a factor in the election.
Barney has been pretty quiet since the fawting incident. I guess he feels the “air has cleared”.
Actually a lot of the Wall St. rabble aren’t eligible to vote in the U.S., they are from all over the world and can’t vote here.. they are the same anarchist and communist rabble that ‘protests’ at every G20 meeting.
It’s Elmer Fudd
Barnsmell Freak needs to be commited to the PARKMAN ASSILUM FOR THE POLITICLY REDUNDANT
Another criminal that lead the housing crumble.
In a just environment he would be in jail like so many other pols that need to be. waters, frank, dodd, smucky, and so many more..
Oh, they were voting Bawwny. They just weren’t voting for you!
excellent attempt at deflection
“Don’t blame me for the crimes I’ve commited, it’s you, the voter’s fault, for not voting me out.”
yeah, that’s the ticket, yeah
It would be my sole obligation to provide some jail time in 2012 for fat boy with soap on a rope just for him so he wouldn’t enjoy the stay!
One problem here Bawney,you and most of Congress are the 1%.
Now shhh get back to your interior decorating .
Lets vote BARNSMELL FREAK of the island
This guy is a professional bullshit artist with no shame whatsoever, and has a selective memory to fit the moment and his mood. He knows damn well that he only has to make a miniscule percentage of people happy to keep his gig and run rampant through the economic system. At least he identifies where the blame lies; with the people that continue to vote him into his office. If anybody needs to be selected for attention, it’s them.
This country will quite literally be paying for his legislation and committee votes for decades to come. Government overreach IS Barney and his ilk, and they never learn the lessons of unintended consequences. Never. His bullshit has significantly contributed to the spawning of this OWS nonsense, but of course nothing’s ever his fault. What a lying sack.
I will hoist a glass to the hope of renewed voting intelligence the day this guy loses his seat in Congress. And a few others.
VOTE – 2012
One day Mr. Frank will draw his final breath and America will rest easy, but Mr. Frank will not be resting easy.
Barney Frank has done more to destroy this Republic than any foreign combatant! His enforcement of the Community reinvestment Act against the banking industry and now his Fran – Dodd Banking Act. This perverted sack of shit needs to be tarred and feathered and then sent to Iran so that they can deal with him properly.
How does Big Barnsmell know they didn’t vote in the 2010 elections?
Is he suggesting that the Democrat Party wants what the lunatic fringe wants?
Such as: eating the rich, forgiving all student loans, crushing capitalism, government takeover of banks and all businesses, a guaranteed minimum wage of $20.00/hour even if you don’t work (which is pretty stupid, considering that non-workers would have no hours to calculate), and no borders.
