Barney Frank to sponsor town hall meeting on health care
Boston Herald ^ | 8/17/2009

Posted on 08/17/2009 11:50:42 AM PDT by markomalley

Responding to what he called the “unusual nature of the health care debate,” U.S. Rep. Barney Frank intends to host a town hall meeting on the national effort to overhaul the health care system.

The meeting will be in addition to a Tuesday Dartmouth Town Committee meeting at which Frank plans to speak on a variety of Congressional issues, including regulation of financial institutions.

In a statement released Friday, Frank said the interest in his attendance at the Dartmouth meeting – the town committee moved the event to a larger venue to accommodate the anticipated crowd – spurred him to consider sponsoring a separate meeting on health care. The time and place of his hearing are forthcoming, he said.

Dartmouth college and UMass Dartmouth are two VERY different places. You are about 150 miles south of Hanover NH.

I can’t make it, but IF I could, I would take dozens of uncooked hot dogs and throw them at him and yell, “YOU LYING WEINIE!!!!” every time he uttered a lie—wait, I don’t think there’s enough hot dogs in existence for that!!!

...or do y’all think that might be misconstrued as “rude” and “un-American”??

Moot point.

First thing I thought of was it’s a set up to get a major confrontation going on so they can use it as press leverage to hurt the dissenters.

I’m sorry, but I’m seeing too much manipulation of these meetings by the press now. For him to do this tells me he wants to use this situation nationally somehow for other than a simple town hall meeting.

They misspelled the announcement, it’s a meating, not a meeting.

Boy are there going to be some surprised seniors there...

“”””p.s. IMO, the gay comments should be toned down.”””””

IMO, they should be spoken loudly to explain the vile, disgusting, mentally screwed up freaks that they are.
To hell with PC, I don’t give a damn who I “offend”. I’m not shutting up about it. I think its disgusting and repulsive and I will tell anyone, anytime.

I can’t help but think that this would be fun to attend, if large groups showed up armed with rubber chickens.
