barney frank gets all snarky

You may have seen this already:




It's true what Frank says, that it's a tribute to the First Amendment that this kind of vile, contemptible behavior is not only completely legal but easily disseminated.

At the same time, even though Barney Frank is right to refuse to engage with a disruptive public, he still kinda looks like a big jerk. When you have the floor like he does, you really do need to hold yourself to a higher standard. You don't get to use the platform to insult the public, even if they're trying to do it to you.
