AP/YahooNews article this AM:

DARTMOUTH, Mass. – Rep. Barney Frank lashed out at protester who held a poster depicting President Barack Obama with a Hitler-style mustache during a heated town hall meeting on federal health care reform.

“On what planet do you spend most of your time?” Frank asked the woman, who had stepped up to the podium at a southeastern Massachusetts senior center to ask why Frank supports what she called a Nazi policy.

“Ma’am, trying to have a conversation with you would be like trying to argue with a dining room table. I have no interest in doing it,” Frank replied.

Assuming the description in the article is factually correct and complete, … I agree with Barney Frank (see Note 1).

That said, … Mr. Frank, how about zombie’s and Ringo’s photos? Have you ever attended a meeting where posters comparing Bush to Hitler were displayed? If so, did you say anything about THOSE posters? If so, what was it?

/Note 1 — *gasp*, never thought I’d have occasion to do that!
