Here is video of Bill O'Reilly tonight in an epic battle with Democrat Barney Frank on The O'Reilly Factor. O'Reilly nailed Frank on his role in the failure of mortgage lending entities Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. . . .(Watch Video)

I’ve got to give it to BOR. He stuck a finger in Bahnee Fwanks’ eye! Good job Bill. That was the first “shootout” that was ACTUALLY a “shootout!” O’Reilly was on fire!
‘Foreplay’
marking in case it doesn’t replay tonight
BO is a loudmouth, badgering bloviator! I am no fan of Barnie Frank, but Bill made himself look like an idiot!
BF accused BO of stupidity.
HOORAY Bill O’Reilly!
HOORAY Bill O’Reilly!
HOORAY Bill O’Reilly!
Thank you, sir!
Thanks very much for posting Federalist Patriot.
HOORAY Bill O’Reilly!
I think Orielly was trying to make the guy have a heart attack...LOL
Im surprised this Fat fck hasn’t had a heart attack yet....
Frank was against reforming Fannie and Freddie. It’s on the record. Of course he would deny it now. He’s a liar.
After Bill stated that people lost money on the financial advice of BF, when in the very clip that started the segment BF said “their not the best investment these days”, I turned it off. BO got louder and more obnoxiuous, then backpeddeled. Ina addition, BF has a point, in that he only had control of the House Finance Committee since Jan 2007. Where were the Rinos for the previous 6 years? Spending money like drunk sailors, thats where. This is CONGRESS’ fault, not just the Dumbos!
“you presided over the biggest failure in history and want to blame everyone but yourself”
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh....finally.
Oh, and I agree that the Dumbo’s on the payroll of FM & FM, were opposed to any sort of oversight reform of the GSE’s, but I did not hear much about our dear POTUS doing much about it, either.
I’m not that wild about O’Rielly, I don’t believe his questions during interviews are well thought through or enlightened.
That stated, if his objective was to get Bwaney Fwank to admit blame or some responsibility, he actually did a fairly good job of making Bwaney look stupid and incapable of admitting his errors when confronted with the truth.
Bwaney is a reprehensible human being and should be in prison....solitary of course, he’d like the group showers to much.....
Amaxing how all of the defaulted loans were only made in the last year and a half! This trainwreck has been a long time coming!
Well I am mixed about it. On one hand it’s nice to see Barney getting chewed on this. He deserves a lot, lot worse.
However, Bill could have ripped into him without losing his cool. He could have even been a little angry without going as far, it doesn’t help your case when you blow up and look like you’re not letting the other guy answer.
One thing for certain, I am not losing any sleep tonite over how Fudgie Frank was treated. He should be tarred and feathered and run out of DC on a rail.
It was long overdue - O’Reilly has expressed fury, has probably lost a fortune and the idiot who has caused so much of it, even if you want to say he wasn’t alone... fine,...but for that same idiot to say he has no responsiblity and blames republicans deserved the all the wrath he got ....and your takeaway is BO looked like an idiot? He looks like the conduit of America who is flippin’ mad and channeled all their anger through BO
Yep, and that's not where he likes fingers stuck...
OMG!!!... LoL!!... gee Bill.. why don’t you tell us what you really think???
Frank had that coming to him...
That smug look on his face as he was reading his paper got properly smacked right off his face.
I enjoyed that tremendously!
You are right and all kinds of documentation shows Franks up to his eyeballs pushing the free and easy loans since early 2000s...he has pushed as a leader on the Fannie/mac bad-credit loans since the start of the breakdown....no not alone in it but surely he should take SOME blame/responsibility considering he was out in front with the flag leading the charge
and theres' the money trail that nobody seems to want to answer to...
I usually would not support what Reilley did. It got personal and he called Barney Frank names. However, this time, it was deserved, and it’s about time someone said the truth. Barney Frank and some other people in Congress (such as Dodd) should be in JAIL for being corrupt. Their corruption (allowing contributions from Freddie and Fannie to block needed reforms years ago) is costing this country and its citizens billions of dollars. HE SHOULD BE IN JAIL. I can’t believe someone can have so little shame as to show his face after what he and his cohorts have done to this country. None of them will resign. There is no shame.
Called Fwank a coward.
I’m not a BOR fan but O’Reilly gets not only the touchdown for that but the extra point tacked on as well.
Yow!
Bill did an awesome job there. I only wish he would have showed those clips of all the rats defending that scumbag crook Franklin Raines and turning away Republican efforts to reform Fannie and Freddie. Those clips include Bonnie Fwank.
Whoa! That was awesome! Bookmark

By the way, here is the famous “Burning Down the House” video for any freeper who hasn’t seen it:

Actually, most of them were. Pretty much every mortgage written in the last 18 months has been bought by Fannie or Freddie. When the subprime market started to fall, about this time in 2006, Fannie and Freddie started buying. They were still buying crappy subprime loans right up until the day they were taken over. And Barney Frank never asked a question about it, never wrote a letter to their regulator expressing concern, never held a hearing about their business practices or the size of their portfolios. In fact, Frank wanted them to keep buying after they were taken over!! He is clueless.
Bwany Fwank: “Oh no no no no no no”. LMAO

Now I wish he’d go on a rant about all the freaking PORK in that bill and get people motivated.
We need a Constitutional amendment prohibiting more than one subject in a bill like many of the states have. That way, if someone wants to give a tax break to Industry X, it can be seen and thoroughly vetted.
Taxpayers get raped every day by those jerks in Washington and I for one am sick of it!
Barney Frank is an incompetent boob who should resign and Bill O'Reilly should stick to writing softcore porn novels and sexually harassing females.
there is enough blame to go around but don’t forget that the legislation dates back to the Clinton administration. And, that Clinton pals ran FMAC and FNMA. Also, that groups like ACORN were continually scaring, and suing, banks in order to relax lending policies.
No, this is fundamentally a problem that came about because of liberal policies.
You’re right.
I could not agree more. The govt is sooooo broken, and BF is just the one on the spot. Where were the Pubbies in the last 8 years? Borrowing and Spending! All of them are at fault! The whole thing needs cleaned out, and it will take more than an election to do so, I fear...
I think got the 2 point conversion!
I’m surprised BOR didn’t bring up Frank’s Fannie boyfriend.
"I became chairman of the Committee on January 31, 2007, less than 2 months later I did what the Republicans haven't been able to do in 12 years, get through the committee a very tough regulatory bill and it passed the house in May. Ive always felt 2 things about Fannie Mae/Freddie mac, that they had an important role to play but that their regulation should be improved. Now from 1995 to 2003 when the Republicans controlled congress and we were in the minority we couldn't get that done."
BO should have jumped all over these outright lies! The reason the Republicans were not able to get regulation passed was because Frank and the Democrats stopped them every time the Republicans tried. This utube video showing testimony from 2004 is an example of Republicans trying to fix the problem, Democrats (including Barney Frank) resisting:
Shocking Video Unearthed Democrats in their own words Covering up the Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac Scam that caused our Economic Crisis http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MGT_cSi7Rs
Barney Frank in September 2003 at a hearing where Bush and the Republicans were trying to get regulations for Fannie/Freddie:
I want to begin by saying that I am glad to consider the legislation, but I do not think we are facing any kind of a crisis. That is, in my view, the two government-sponsored enterprises that we’re talking about here, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not in a crisis. We recently had an accounting problem with Freddie Mac that led to people being dismissed, as appears to be appropriate. I do not think at this point there is a problem with a threat to the treasury. I’m going to say, we have an interesting example of self-fulfilling prophecy. Some of the critics of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac say that the problem is is the federal government is obligated to bail-out people who might lose money in connection with them. I do not believe that we have any such obligation. And as we said that it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy based on people. So let me make it clear: I’m a strong supporter of the role that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac play in housing. But nobody who invested in them should come looking to me for a nickel, nor anybody else in the federal government.
These are just a few of the examples of Barney Frank resisting regulations. He and the democrats had a history of doing so. In the 2005 legislation to bill co sponsored by John McCain to provide regulation/oversight to Fannie/Freddie every Republican on the committee voted for it and every Democrat against. It never went to the Senate for a vote because the Democrats united against it and with with only a slim majority at the time Republicans could not get the 60 votes required for it to pass.
Bill O’reilly deserves crdit for taking on Frank.
The end was the best. Bill was pointing out that Frank ws responsible for the biggest financial catastrophe in the collapse of Fannie Mae and Frank went white, knowing it was true but also knowing it would never get pinned on him because of the left wing media.
Thanks for the ping and the post.
BUMP-TO-THE-TRUTH!
Exactly.
That would have been more effective than BO yelling. However, that has its place as attracting rubberneckers to the general facts of the case.
Once this bill gets passed (sigh), at least McCain will then be able to open up some daylight betweeen him and Obambi and start attacking again.
We also need to do our part to pierce through the ignorance out there as to who caused this mess: the DEMOCRATS.
“...And if there is a dick army, Barney Frank would want to join up.”
Did you send this info to BOR?
Yes.
Did so this morning before posting on this thread.
