World War III: Barney Frank vs. Bill O’Reilly

Bill O’Reilly brings Barney Frank on with one goal in mind: to get him to admit that he’s responsible for the failure of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and therefore the millions of dollars that obviously Bill O’Reilly Americans lost when they went under and the stock market dropped in response. Frank was having none of it, and the result was as instant internet classic. Here are a few of the best exchanges:


O’REILLY: You’re a coward. You blame everybody else. You’re a coward.

FRANK: Bill, here’s the problem with going on your show. You start ranting. And the only way to respond is almost to look as boorish as you. But here’s the facts….

<…>


FRANK: I’m not going to be bullied by your ranting. You can rant all you want, you’re not going to shut me up! The problem was that we passed in 1994, in fact.

O’REILLY: Now we’re back to 1994. This is bull. This is why Americans don’t trust the government.

FRANK: No, this is why your stupidity gets in the way of rational discussion.
