Barney Frank Resumes His Extremely Hypocritial Ways By Calling All Fed Attacks "Extreme Hypocrisy"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

The person who is almost singlehandedly responsible for the complete disaster that are today's bankrupt GSEs, somehow succeeds in making America hate him even more, when he notes that the global response of condemnation to the Fed's actions, and the subsequent enjoinder by Republicans who wish nothing less than to save the dollar, instead of allowing hyperinflation to deal with the consequences of the idiotic actions by the MA congressman, is "extreme hypocrisy." How this excuse for a representative (of anything more than a few well-rounded bankers) gets any air time is beyond us. Until then, we will make sure the collective blood pressure of our readership remains elevated thanks to such unprecedented examples of the supreme corruption in D.C. as Barney Frank. And unrelated, but even more disturbing, is Frank's statement that he doesn't mind that there haven't been prosecutions of financial crisis players. Don't worry Barney, prosecutions will come... Luckily these will happen once your immunity lapses.

Anyone with a hear condition is advised against reading/watching this post.

From a letter just sent out by the Frank.

Chairman Frank Statement on Republican Attacks on Fed Efforts to Boost U.S. Economy

Washington, D.C. – House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (D-MA) issued the following statement today regarding Republican attacks on efforts by the Federal Reserve to use well-understood monetary policy tools in order to help boost the U.S. economy:

“I was not surprised at the extreme hypocrisy of the Central Bank of China insisting that America – apparently alone among nations – has an obligation to subordinate its own legitimate economic needs to international currency movements, nor was I surprised that other central banks, including Germany’s, joined China. 

“What did disappoint me was to see conservative economists, high-ranking officials of previous Republican administrations, and Republican Congressional leaders share the attack by these foreign banks not simply on the substance of the Federal Reserve’s proposal, but on the very notion that America has a right to give a primary focus to our own economic need for growth at this time.

“Debating American economic policy is one thing; joining in a broad attack by foreign central banks, who insist that America somehow must subordinate our own legitimate economic needs to their currency requirements, is quite another. But that is essentially what the Reagan-Bush-Bush economists have asserted in their letter to Chairman Bernanke when they say that ‘The Fed’s purchase program has also met broad opposition from other central banks and we share their concerns that quantitative easing by the Fed is neither warranted nor helpful in addressing either U.S. or global economic problems.’”

Note: Republican Congressional leaders issued their attack on the Fed in a letter sent last week to Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. The former Republican administration officials and other prominent conservatives sent a separate letter to Bernanke last week.

And here is Frank on Bloomberg earlier:

Actually, it's just full of limo-lib/statists (Newton, Sharon, Sherborn, Brookline, Wellesley) and dirt-poor folk (Fall River, New Bedford) who rely on Uncle Sugar for their very lives.  It's one of the weirdest districts in the state and given that we're talking about Massachusetts that's really saying something.

It's over 40% urban.

Nobody but a lib/statist will ever represent this district, so the only way Barney Mumbles leaves the scene is if he's defeated in a primary by someone to his left or he croaks.

Any one notice the increase in the last week or so of our 'Guardians' such as Bernanke and Frank coming out and telling the Herd "Everything is alright, nothing to worry about"?

They just had an article on BBC which was trying to DOWNPLAY the impact a protest-driven bankrun would have!  They made it sound like it would be a minor inconvenience to the banks, but the real people to suffer would be small business, and the average Joe.

It is straight out of Nazi Germany, a lie repeated often enough, with conviction, becomes the 'truth.  And if repeating the lie isn't enough, remember to LIE BIG.  People are unable to fathom those in power telling massive lies, primarily because we would rather live in denial,  as it keeps our world simpler.

What a relief! It's OK to call Barney a queer again.                     - Queer \`queer\
1. adj.
(a) strange, unusual (b) British slang for eight gallons of gasoline. "Might I purchase a queer on the pump with the red lorry?" (c) Originally meant to describe something as unusual or strange. Became a deroggatory word to describe homosexuals. More recently, it has been reclaimed by non-heterosexuals as a word used to describe themselves. Queer can now be used to describe homosexuals, bisexuals, and transgendered people. In scholarly studies the word queer is also used to describe those who practice unconventional sex (e.g. bondage, etc.), therefore even heterosexuals can sometimes be defined as queer.    1. Your brother is a really queer guy.
   2. I am a homosexual, part of the queer community. (d) Re-claimed umbrella term used to describe the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender/Transsexual and general non-heterosexual communities. Queer is the opposite of Straight.

(e) The word is becoming more acceptable than ‘Gay’ especially for homosexual woman and bisexuals who often object to being called’ gay’ which is used more often to describer gay men. It is still often used (just as ‘gay’ is) as an insult to queer people, but is taken with a pinch of salt these days. She's/He's/It's Queer

People the world over, NATURALLY, have a preference to be among people who are similar to them. This is why neighborhoods like "Little Italy", or "Chinatown" come into being. People choose to congregate amongst others like them because they share something in common, such as race, color, religious belief, or sexual orientation. During the immigration days, it was done for protection, but little has changed, even after earlier generations became assimilated into modern American culture.

We still all live together in the same country, and living separately does not make us intolerant of others. . . . .what makes people intolerant of others, is when "others" insist on forcing their beliefs "down other peoples' throats".

Ever meet a nice buttfag? Or a tasteful, tidy, buttfag? Or a thoughtful buttfag with integrity? Or a nonbuttfag? Just, you know, a cockfag? Or a handfag? A cuntfag? Maybe a fleshlightfag?

Ya'll are so afraid someone is going to think you are gay, you are funny. Makes you look effeminate doing it.

Okay bitches, class is in fucking session:

Are you gay if you engage in the sex act?

What about prison sex against your will?

What about prison sex which you engage in for protection?

What about prison sex you engage in so that you are the dominant wolf, and you don't have to be anyone else's bitch?

What about the infamous study done by Laud Humphries that found out that 38 percent of men who engaged in anonymous bathroom sex claimed to be heterosexual married men? What about other studies done of truck stops, where truckers get oral sex from men on the road so that they can honestly tell their wives the never cheated on them. 

Are you gay if you have homosexual fantasies?

Statistics show that most folks have some. Does that mean most folks are gay?

Homosexuality is both the emotional and sexual preference for someone of the same gender. Sex alone does not make you gay. Fantasy does not make you gay.

What you folks are afraid of is something you blame on gay, but it is really about gender. You are afraid of a loss of your power, of seeming feminine, like a woman. Lots of gay men are very masculine and can kick all of your so called straight asses.

It is unfair to focus on Barney's gayness as his problem. Barney is a fucking weak pedophile.

While I don't share your views on gay people, his District is almost as far left as you can get. It has the best of both worlds, extremely poor and very wealthy, middle-class not so much.

 

It doesn't get more Liberal outside of Massachusetts, except maybe California. Almost all my friends are true Independents (I), and we represent voters 2-1 combined of Republicans/Democrats, but the SEIU were literally bussing people to polls in some areas.

No. 9:

"How this flaming gay fag got re-elected I will never know."

Several reasons:

1.  Governor Gerry's Salamander implemented in full, normal practice, well baked into every crevice.  See:

http://www.sec.state.ma.us/cis/cispdf/ma_uscongress.pdf

and e.g. (Made in MASS).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerrymandering

That gives old union centers Taunton, Fall River, New Bedford a huge anchor.  Latter two have huge ESL or no hablo ingles.  Not so much concern about ICE after a couple of botched "raids".

2.  Huge union turnout-trades and government "workers."  (Teacher's union has its real HQ in the State House).

3.  Huge reaction to Scott Brown's 'stunning' win in January--drove hack turnout.

4.  (I suspect) mild "adjustments" to vote counts in the bigger machine-controlled cities.

So us Massholes can't get this one right (actually the folks in the district can't, even though Bawney lives in Newton-not in the district).

Sean Bielat (another misguided child) did a fine job, caused Bawney to spend all of his funds plus do a $200k "personal" "loan" to win.  Some talk that Bawney wants to hang with his boi toy and the crowd he helped out.  See e.g.: but it has been all over the local media.

http://life.atlantafalcons.com/topic/3904184-barney-frank-accepting-gift...

A local example of the extent of corruption facing us all.

I have some great friends who are Irish, Union, fierce, and who have been watching Ireland's travails.  I've been leaving them crumbs about Bawney and Deval and what a mess we (in MA, not ready to discuss the Fed) are in.  This weekend, well, it started to sink in.  Esp. w/the comment "why don't you look at ZH?"

We'll see, but it ain't pretty.

You'd think the banks would have whip round and buy him a set of new teeth for all he has done for them.

If you saw him on the street you would easily mistake him for some raving, toothless drunk shouting at people.

What ever he's been paid,clearly isn't enough.

Totally irresponsible reporting Tyler. NOT about Frank's views, by the way. I have found his stances during this crisis as quite disturbing. No....it's that you decided to bait the people in your audience who will use Frank's sexual preference as the object of attack rather than his politics. You and Denninger, etc. Truly alienate those of us who AGREE with your financial and legal analyses, but who also believe that a man's sexual preference, or his religion, or even his ideology, have nothing to do with his actions. OK...time for all of the hate-filled responses.

Would you be defending Frank if he was a whoremonger like Spitzer and being ridiculed as such? Then spare us your pathetic bleating in trying to occupy the moral high ground. Evil, disgusting and incompetent remain such whether they prefer slot A to hole B. What this porker does in his spare time is of no interest to me aside from a way to mock and humiliate him even further, and anyone who despises Bawney simply because of his interest in twinks clearly needs to dig just a bit deeper. Rest assured, tool, those of us who want him tarred and feathered would continue to do so even if he was banging supermodels on a nightly basis.

Agreed.  I have no problem with Christians when they're content to keep their dogma out of legislation, homosexuals and minorities when they're content to keep their politically correct speech codes off campuses, and socialists when they finally decide to keep their body odor out of my caffe latte.

But at some point shouldn't one draw the line when political clout is again and again leveraged to materially impact those - like you and me - who would otherwise have no objection to the particular lifestyles others choose? 

Live and let live, yaknow?

barney frank is calling the FED attacks "hypocracy" because he doesn't understand economics.  his "hypocracy" comment stems from his belief that everyone currently complaining about the "runaway federal reserve" has *actually* benefitted from the actions to date.  what's true is that due to the government's inability to allow itself to default, they have made the situation much worse with more debt.  this is the same in ireland, greece, and soon spain.  the *PEOPLE* are better off in a debt default.  only the government loses favor with its neighbors.  the *people* become more collectively sovereign in the default process, gaining significant power.  under the situation we see today, the individual taxpayer ends up with much worse debt problems, because the government has no capital of its own, thus the need to drive taxes for the people so much higher.

in fact the studies demonstrate that only 3% of the so-called *wealth effect* caused with the "stock market rising" is spent in the real economy, so the  rest doesn't make it back out to the little guy.  in this way, the"fed haters" have an excellent point.  the savers are the ones who lose big at zero interest rates, the investors win with bubble after bubble, but only when they sell, again dumping on the little guy.  in a default, the government loses, so they'd rather stimulate since only the "citizens" must pay the freight.  one day government will lose the right to stimulate, and under such a scenario, people may be sovereign once again.

I live in the 1st district in MA. There was one guy who garnered enough signatures to run on the GOP ballot against a Democrat who has had the job for 41 years. This guy was far from an ideal candidate - no college, had (3) OUI's under his belt, and he still got 35% of the vote. People in MA are starting to wake up, but Western MA, like the tip of the cape where Bwany lives is chock-loaded with dirt poor and filthy rich. If you look at who put Scott Brown in Office, it was largely what is left of the middle class in the state - outside greater boston and inside the 495 belt.

Well, Vern, consider that people have been indoctrinated instead of educated their whole life, and then decide how much blame you want to allocate to:

1) the government/ the Oligarchy who actually run the country

2) the average citizen.

Because of the 24h, 7 days a week consumerist indoctrination,  I allocate the blame 75% on the Oligarchy (indoctrination was their goal, and they are happy with what they have achieved) and only 25% to the average Joe for not educating himself.
