By Yael T. Abouhalkah, Kansas City Star Editorial Page columnist
Cheers to U.S. Rep. Barney Frank for not kowtowing to loud-mouthed critics at his town hall Tuesday night.
Frank's appearance was marred by angry and unruly questioners. But the Massachusetts Democrat gave as good as he got on several occasions.
-- One woman ignorantly compared President Barack Obama's policies to those of Germany under Adolf Hitler.
Frank's comeback: "On what planet do you spend most of your time?"
-- At another point, Frank responded to a series of outbursts by saying, "Do you really think that advances your argument? I mean, I thought you were thoughtful people here to have a conversation."
No, actually, too many of them weren't.
They thought they had the right to yell and try to intimidate Frank as well as others who might support his viewpoints.
It's apparently what passes for civilized conversation during the great health care debate of 2009.

How can anyone
with an ounce of sense have anything good to say about Frank.
A new low for this supposed journalist
See here how all the
Obama will be a one term president if he keeps up this health care fight. Check out this debate blog
http://www.healthcaredebateblog.com/
shame, shame Yael, you miss
shame, shame Yael, you miss the whole point. People have tried the calm approach and you know what, Congress ignores them. Has yelling work, yes, actually! Before the yelling this was a shoo-in, now, even Murtha admits it isn't like to happen.
Re: Barney Frank faces down Democrat
FYI, the woman protester, Rachel Brown, is a DEMOCRAT and staff attorney in the Elder Unit of the Legal Assistance Corporation of Central Massachusetts here:
http://www.laccm.org/about/staff/rachel-brown
Rachel is active in LACCM’s Community Lawyering and Litigation working groups, and is a co-chair of the Worcester County Bar Association’s Committee on Services to the Poor & Homeless.
Rachel is deeply concerned about the “death panel” provisions encouraging end of life medical practices to save money.
The Obama posters come from the website of wacko left-winger Lyndon LaRouche.
Barney
Ironic isn't it that Barney Frank now wants a civilized discussion. Given that his anti war, environmental, and gay rights constituency conducts some of the loudest, in your face, demonizing protests of any groups in the US. I do not recall these groups as being compromising in any fashion. Poetic justice in my view.
Frank
I can do without the hitler references also because like any society some loose camparison can be legitimately made. But that time in German history also contained some positives, out weighed by the negative twisted results. Just like the n word for black people in america, hitler references can only be made by jews. It's all designed to try to minimalize others opinions.
Instead please answer some of the key claims that I have a problem with:
1. Reduced cost. Please show me how medicare and medicade reduced cost. It appears they increased it overall by artificially lowering payment for service while increasing reporting requirements.
2. Improved service with no rationing. A relatively fixed set of resouces that will now need to support a 15% increase in need and a decrease in the amount recieved for the service.
Let's start there and move on to the even more intrusive and costly elements.
I wonder if the townhall folks had those plastic sheets that the audience used during Gallagher's watermelon-smashing act.
great praise
I'm glad the intellegent thoughtful frank addressed why are person's point of view was wrong. No he didn't. Well at least yael did...ooppss, just name calling. It appears yael thinks fueling the flame is the adult way to handle a fire. Thanks for your views.

The Crossroads
I just pictured Barney Frank with those poor kids on the Barney Show.
Yet look at the Nazi tactics they use
Even Yael has portrayed the majority of us opposed to ObamaCare as "complainers" who spread lies and rumors. The Nazis did the same thing in order to shame opponents into going along with their programs. See these posters:
