Way to go, Barney! Keep in mind that Barney -- is Jewish and gay---two double no nos that would be sent to Nazi camps. And he certainly put this wingnut woman in her place. And the look on her face from Barney's response to her was priceless.
Thinkprogress:
Last night, Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) held a contentious town hall in Dartmouth, MA to discuss health care reform. The crowded hall of more than 500 people had both supporters and opponents of health care reform, but the opposing side was “much louder and more raucous.” At one point, Frank asked the crowd: “Which one of you wants to yell next?” Frank then excoriated a woman who asked a question while holding up a picture of President Obama defaced to look like Hitler:
QUESTION: Why do you continue to support a Nazi policy as Obama has expressly supported this policy? Why are you supporting it? [...]
FRANK: On what planet do you spend most of your time? … You want me to answer the question? Yes. You stand there with a picture of the President defaced to look like Hitler and compare the effort to increase health care to the Nazis. My answer to you is, as I said before, it is a tribute to the First Amendment that this kind of vile, contemptible nonsense is so freely propagated.
Frank concluded: “Trying to have a conversation with you would be like arguing with a dining room table.”

Hitler?! Delusional GOP protesters, I also got an email saying that the rich are getting richer under Obama, and the deficit is the highest ever?! Of course I deleted that garbage, and wonder what moutain that person was living on the last 8 years?
"I also got an email saying that the rich are getting richer under Obama, and the deficit is the highest ever?!"
Whoever the clown who sent you that email is ignorant and doesn't understand financial intelligence. The wealthy getting wealthier under Obama? I don't think so. The wealthy are trying to recover thier loss from the stock market and economy. Wealthy make their money from the backbone of the middle class workers. 2% of the population are wealthy. 98% are working class people. And since there is so many people unemployed, I think it is safe to say that the honest wealthy individual are feeling the pinch from the working class being out of work.
I would have deleted that email also as that is person from a broke mentality. The tax codes from IRS has been changed this year because so many people are suffering financially from this year. You made a good point about where was that person at 8 years. That person needs to view Cheney's tax returns for the past 8 years [which I did] where Mr. Cheney got a lot back from Uncle Sam in his tax return thanks to his stealing and profits from Halliburton.
All that person who generated the emails had to do is look at the chart you had posted a day or two ago showing how the last 3 GOP ran up the debt, but nothing like the Gerbil Administration.
But seriously that person's only news source probably is Faux, or they have been living on a mountain.
Actually that brought to mind another ignorant thing coming out of the mouths of right wing nut jobs
"guns don't kill people, people do"
It's like cigarettes don't cause cancer, people who smoke do.
