I know what Bill O does is often for show, but man after this Fannie/Freddie crap, Bill was saying (and yelling) everything I'VE wanted to say to Barney Frank. Frank is a lying douche who deserves everything he's got coming to him. He is largely responsible for the financial fiasco we face now, yet he still wants to blame Bush & Republicans, DESPITE all the evidentiary video and transcript pieces there are out there.
For this one time, good on ya, Bill.
Heard a great quote from Frank a couple years ago, when he was confronted about loans Fanny was guaranteeing. Like any good evolutionist or lottery supporting politician, he said we should "let chance go on a bit longer," hoping, I guess, that with enough blind lending to people with no money or credit history, SOMEONE might start to pay off their federally insured baloon notes?
Funny: we never see bacteria in a petrie dish develop eye spots or chlorophyl, no matter how many generations, we never see anyone who puts a substantial portion of his wealth into the lotto improve his lot for more than a year (usually quite the oppposite, even if he /she WINS) and we never see blind chance, even in a petri dish, with plenty of outside energy, food, and mutagens available, produce the next stage up. So no surprise we don't see a deadbeat pay off their balloon loan... Previous generations knew all these things by observation. It took a liberal giving away pieces of his fanny to any taker to make us question several of them...

By Roger11733 1223174462 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveHe knows nothing about the bail out Bill,he picks and cuts what he want to have people hear,and then all he can do to a congressman is yell at the guy and not listen and thinks he`s right,O`reilley is a complete ass wipe. Why on Earth would anyone want to go on his show and put up with O`s big trap running,I give Obama a big clap of the hands for going on his just knowing how O`reilly is,Fanny and Freddie Bushs rich buddies did this to themselves, sorry
By murf61 1223152469 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThe people who are responsible are Phil Gramm and the predatory lenders. Phil Gramm created the completely unregulated market that is now collapsing and dragging the economy along with it. The predatory lenders flat out lied to their clients, saddling them with mortgages that they knew were ticking time bombs.
By Sergei Andropov 1223116210 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI saw Bill before on youtube and assumed he couldnt be popular with his aggressive and rude right wing attitude.
But here are so many supporters!!!
So the world is in for another republican looney in the US presidency?
Oh noooooooooooo!!
:)
is that sort of ego based, biased attack real journalism??
By TheJapanChannel.com 1223102587 Reply Spam [-2] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveHe admits he is a commentator and I feel that journalism as an art is dead even by those who still claim to be one. The fact is that all the talikng heads you see now a days have an agenda to push and it is up to us as individuals to use our own minds in doing our own research; because we are not getting the unvarnished truth any longer rather we are getting their personal views disguised as anaylsis.
By DAMANINMIAMI 1223313757 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI can agree with you on that.
I also think guys like this one are all about entertainment.. and unfortunately these days people like to see aggression and rudeness..
"Yeah, you tell him, Bill!!!!"
Have a look at the "thumbs down" on the "anti-Bill" comments... so many Americans love this style of person!!!
Scary!!!
I speak with people from all around the world and they all have the same distorted view of Americans rthat you have. When I press them for their reasons I invariably get the same lies that are spread by the media around the world.
By DAMANINMIAMI 1223385043 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove"They all have the same distorted view.." ???
And you think they ALL have the same view because of the media??
Lets just look at the comments on this page....
Including the thumbs up and down....
This isnt "the media" this i a forum of ideas.. and we can see what the majority are saying...
I agree this is a forum of ideas and it looks like the majority agrees with Bill. I don’t agree with his style, but I do agree with what he is getting at, that Frank and his group are in part responsible for this mess, but no one in the media is saying this except blowhards like Bill. I hate his style, but he is right and if the media were less one sided then shows like the factor wouldn’t stand a chance because people could believe what they were being told.
The fact is that the majority of the world dislikes the actions of the US because it stopped kowtowing to the world and decided to protect its interests first. This has set much of the world against it and the media in those nations spread the same half truths to get the public behind them. If people would do their own research then they would have a more balanced view of the US.
when did america every kowtow???????
quite the opposite!!!!!!
and, of course my view is a minority here.. the site and comments are by americans.
Peace to you and good luck, brother.
No matter how far one bends it's never enough. I'm not surpised you feel the way you do and it only supports my beliefs. I wish you the best in these turbulent times

By whatitis 1222998941 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveBarney Frank could have stopped all of this by simply saying, "Yep, I was wrong." Instead, he ducked responsability in the typical liberal fashion (It's not my fault). Frank didn't cause the housing collapse, but he didn't step up to the plate and tell people the truth...that if the housing market took a turn for the worse that fannie and freddie didn't have the funds in reserves to stay viable. Elect some more of those libs folks...especially you people in Michigan who have seen that your tilt toward dems for president and your fine mayorial choices have decimated your fine state. Barney Frank is a typical liberal who says two things at the same time so that he can use the best sound bite later when his policy turns to crap.
By SickNTired 1223132442 Reply Spam [-2] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove... is as Republican as guns and religion.
If US people think this kind of journalism is "good", that explains why the US is in such horrible trouble.
John McCain co-sponsored a bill called "The Housing Enterprise Regulatory Act of 2005". This legislation would have brought Fannie and Freddie under close regulation and prevented the current economic problems. Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, Melvin Watt and Barack Obama railed against this legislation with the fervor of a baptist preacher. Yes, Barney Frank is one of the principles in the current economic crisis. It seems to me that you don't know, and don't want to know, the truth.
By Lawdogs1 1223315098 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI wish they would censure Barney Frank for the rest of his life.
By McTex 1223096214 Reply Spam [-2] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveBarney is right about Bill distorting his comment. If you go to the begining he said that it is not a good investment for the long term
By dizzy_1 1223083495 Reply Spam [-2] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveIt still does not take away from the fact that house republicans where saying back in 2003 "McCain and Bush included" that these two companies where going to have a crises. And Good'ol Barney being barney, said that was simply not true. The house Dems fell asleep on this one, and now they want to blame Bush's 8 years. What a bunch of idiots.
By grunt11b 1223097834 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveFrank and his cronies pushed The Fed with threats, to authorize loans so that "anyone can afford their own home, it's the American dream". Even, when these "anyone's" should never have be authorized for a car loan, let alone a house.
