Gutsy. Frank looked like a fool. Of course, that is nothing new.

” Frank looked like a fool. Of course, that is nothing new.”

The fools are those who continuously vote this horrible little man into office.

What a great glimpse into the minds of those who are in Congress these days, the very people who got us into this mess in the first place. Great, but very frightening and alarming. This was not what the Founding Fathers had in mind when they pledged their all to give us a republic.

Frank used the venerable defense mechanism of answering a question with a question. Anyone who’s going to take on a liberal needs to know that’s usually their first line of defense and be ready to counter. Frank’s second line of defense, again a tried and true page from the liberal playbook, was to act offended and accuse the questioner of doing something he hadn’t done.

The kid is right. Democrats answer questions with bluster and BS. That works great for them as their democrat friends dont understand, or fail to comprehend what is happening in the first place.

Ooh, what a frightening headline. If I “tangled” with Barney Frank there wouldn’t be enough hot showers in the world to wash it off...

It’s tough indeed.

Bawney will go down in history as one of the biggest, flabbiest a-holes in Congress.

Wow. I just watched the interview with Greta. The kid is calm, well spoken and confident. Good job, Joel!

“A conservative at Harvard. Maybe all is not lost.”

My father and grandfather were die hard conservatives and they graduated from Harvard. There are a few of them out there!

Unfortunately, the student obviously didn’t have many supporters in the audience. Frank did a gotcha moment and the crowd applauded and laughed when Frank did a gotcha by saying, “so that allows you to say things you can’t back up.”

The event took place at the Kennedy School of Government. I’m surprised they even let a conservative into the building.

No, the student didn’t have many supporters in the audience. Of course, there was no “gotcha moment” from Frank. I heard Joel Pollack’s question...he didn’t accuse and it was interesting that these supposedly “intelligent” students chose to ignore the facts.

There is hope for America after all. Mr. Pollack was poised, articulate and bright. Interesting to note his background: former left-wing liberal Democrat who became Conservative over time because, (surprise!), found that liberal Democrats didn’t evaded facts, attacked and avoided unpleasant facts.
