Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) of course was referring to his own supporters as he defended statements made last week at a townhall meeting where he accused an out-of-state LaRouche supporter of being like a dining room table. But only after the townhall crasher had attempted to draw parallels between Obama and Hitler. Watch:

Don’t worry Barney. No one would ever confuse your lovable curmudgeon self with Mr. Belvedere or Alfred Pennyworth or Giles French. Yes I know they weren’t on PBS but you get the idea. Just stay as you are Barney, stay as you are.

And for some context… the original exchange between Rep. Frank and “woman from another planet.”

In an absurd and frightening piece a theater yesterday Glenn Beck pretended to douse gasoline on one of his guests and then lit a match, equating it to Obama setting us on fire because of his liberal policies.

If this isn’t shouting “fire” in a theater crowded with people who believe their guns are going to be taken away, they’re jobs stolen by “foreign devils,” and that the country is being marched down the road to fascism, I don’t know what is.
