Rep. Frank faces town hall foe in Mass. primary

Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank’s retort was an Internet sensation.

Questioned at a town hall last year about the “Nazi policy” of health care reform, Frank told the speaker who made the comment that talking to her was “like arguing with a dining room table.” Fast forward to this year, the questioner, Rachel Brown, is challenging the 15-term Democrat’s re-election bid.

Brown said her exchange with Frank inspired her to run against him in the Democratic primary in the state’s 4th Congressional District.

“I didn’t realize at the time that if you had a better idea, you should take their seat,” said 29-year-old Brown, a devotee of economist Lyndon LaRouche.

Here she is speaking at a Tea Party event. She openly admits to being a Larouche supporter and the crowd isn’t bothered.
