Only a few weeks left where I have to care about Rachel Brown. Except they’ll pull a Summer Shields on her and keep running her anyway.
From the time Frank first met Rachel Brown—during a town hall meeting in August 2009, when she confronted him on his support for Obama’s Nazi health policy—he has shown her nothing but disdain. His campaign actually sent the video of the confrontation all around the world, in an attempt to raise funds by showing Frank quip that talking to Rachel was like talking to a dining-room table. But now, 12 months later, in a tacit admission that he has badly miscalculated, and his ploy has backfired, Frank’s campaign has actually agreed to a debate.
But not without insane conditions. On Frank’s insistence, the event is scheduled one week before the election, on Sept. 7, at 7 p.m., at NewTv Studios in Newton, Frank’s hometown. No audience is to be allowed, and the Frank campaign explicitly demanded “no Lincoln-Douglas format.” That means a moderator will force the back-and-forth into time slots no more than two and a half minutes apiece.
Incidentally, it certainly is disgusting how Frank sent a video of that exchange, and is adverting the big Debate. Let’s watch it again.
Kind of like he did at that Town Hall appearance. Let’s watch that exchange again.
Yes. My campaign staff is actually a chorus, and that has been instrumental, in its ability to demonstrate irony for the population, and also, to uplift them. One thing we did, was to take our music to the subway trains of Brookline and Newton, where we would sing on the trains, then hand out literature and brief people. We also held concerts on street corners on Friday and Saturday evenings.
And is this right? I’ll have to look up Barney Frank’s primary opponents — he had one in 1994!
That’s what this Rockefeller controlled spawn of evil wants to do……A real LaRouche racist controlled by Rothschild. She actually wants to force the Global Banking System into a complete dictatorship.
Rachel Brown is worse than Cheney, Obama, Clinton, Calvin Coolige and possibly even Mitt Romney combined. And you thought all of THEM were evil..I’m tell you right now!
This is why everyone needs to check a candidate’s voting record….when we stopped doing that, that is when all these evil politicians got in. It was really our own fault. If we had read their record, I don’t think any of you would have elected globalist scum to office. Do you?
During his Rachel Brown Exploratory phase, he goes here:
They absolutely love her and Rachel is polling better in Massachusetts!!!!
Curious. The only polls for this race that I know of are the “IPSOSDEFACTO” and other parody poll I made up for this blog — something or other Rothschild. Anyway, when questioned, he directs everyone to this page and its comments, where as we see that Rachel Brown has locked up the “BubbaBubba” vote.
Alas, Mr. Olson refuses to debate either myself or the democratic challenger, stating through his handlers that he has already won the election. But I digress. I suggest that possibly a candidate that would put America first might be a better choice for NASA contractors.
So says Libertarian candidate Steve Susman. How his NASA budget goes with his Libertarian ideals, which being a Libertarian I would think he would want NASA just Privatized, I cannot say. It should be an interesting race, this Pete Olson — Steve Susman election. There is a third candidate, but she’s nuttier than a Fruitcake. The Kesha Rogers Campaign is now alternating between chorus and “bel canto voice lessons” — pitch 256, and Plato Readings, with Leibniz thrown in for good measure.
The Summer Shields campaign continues flailing downward into oblivion. Really, I don’t know what the point of that one is. He’s running far behind in his Write-In Campaign against his other Write-In Campaign candidate, Spongebob Squarepants.  Maybe it all amounts to a Nostalgia Tour?
Having voted for Lyndon LaRouche several times when I was younger, I decided to listen to what they had to say and they gave me some propaganda and asked for money, and I gave them a dollar.
The Events page suggests his campaign is waiting around for the Big Webcast, another “Historical Webcast” snoozer. I guess there, the Shields campaign will learn the implications of these words:
I have a special, probably indispensable role of national leadership to play in setting this action of recovery into actual motion. The situation that implies is essentially the following.
I am presently at the brink of 88 years of age. Speaking in relative terms, my role is indispensable in certain crucial respects, but remarkably good health at 88 is, despite all else, 88. Not only must you take that fact into consideration; I must take that fact into account in my way, as you must, for your own part in actually effecting this recovery in yours.
He’s also, I guess, seeking the Chinese American vote by eating at the “New Asia Restaurant”. From there it’s all about a “Post Obama Period”, meaning — I guess, they’re planning for 2013 or 2017.
jdesid rounds up the campaigns in the comments section at this aflcio site.
The Big Star in the Post Office Tour, and related arenas, is — naturally — the Guy from Alaska. Quite a loud guy, ain’t he? He’s getting some knocking from supposed allies in the the NRA. Grabs a crowd, disses a hippy who looks just like him, gets some guy to take his shirt off, and generally Entertains the Masses. He’s known as “Wild Bill”. The first few items here are the knowledge of Local Yokels.
The more interesting guy is his fellow Docket-Mate.
Hill was wrestled to the ground Thursday, August 26, by security guards at the Alaska State Fair. His arrest was widely publicized after a video of it was posted on YouTube. On the same day Hill took his banner to the fairgrounds, ostensibly to provoke fairgoers into impeaching the president, Aaron Waite-Ober set himself on fire in Talkeetna’s Village Park. Waite-Ober also tried to convince Magistrate Condie that free speech was his shield.“I was trying to do a trick. That’s why I set myself on fire,†Waite-Ober said. He was in the unenviable position of representing himself, one most defendants find themselves in during an arraignment hearing. “I’ve been staying out of trouble for the past year-and-a-half—except for those two mishaps, a 24-hour sleep off and whatever.†Waite-Ober insisted he could be released on his own recognizance, but the magistrate denied that request.
“Self-immolation, whether it is for a performance or whatever, doing so in a public park is cause for concern,†Condie told the defendant. He refused to set Waite-Ober free, and set bail at $500
I would like Wild Bill better if he Set Himself on Fire “for the Cause”.
Other Post office appearances — Marion! Michigan State (with a conversation with an astrophysics student, yet.)!  Mesquite — for Summer Shields, Joseph Elkins with Gabriela Bess — “These people are worse than the Nazis,” Elkins said. “The Nazis thought the Jews were a cancer. These people are against all people. To them, humanity is the cancer.”. Tamaqua (Ryan Milton and Donald Mallory stopping in from Philadelphia)!   And into Middleton comes the travelling band of New Jersey resident Chris Sare alongside Pennsylvanier Jean-Sebastien Tremblay.
Getting support from this person: Wiernasz is signing up for a petition calling for the impeachment of Obama, “our crack-smoking, illegal alien president,†Wiernasz claims as he reaches for a pen.
Calling Lyndon LaRouche an economist is like calling Emperor Norton a statesman – except that Norton was actually entertaining. Lyn’s been announcing that the next Great Depression will happen in the next couple of years for DECADES. He’s been wrong EVERY SINGLE time before 2010; it’s not very likely that he’s suddenly going to be right THIS time around.
Drumming up more nostalgia in Tredyffrin Township.
They told me that they have been going from post office to post office with their cause . . . I asked them what kind of response had they received in Tredyffrin.  They replied, ‘very polarized’ and that they were looking for open minds. As we talked, cars would drive by and honk . . . I asked if honking meant that the drivers were supporting the ‘impeach Obama signs’ placed on the road. Not necessarily they explained; some of the drivers honked and gave a ‘thumbs up’ of support but other honkers screamed obscenities at them. While there, I witnessed several honkers in the screaming obscenity category.
And in the province of Glen Beck’s rally — here and here. And… here:
Pamphlets were more explicit.“The Democrat Party is as it always has been, the party of the four Ss: slavery, secession, segregation and now socialism,†said one. “Underdogma, How America’s enemies use our love for the underdog to trash American power,†was another.
Lyndon LaRouche’s action committee collected signatures on a petition to impeach Obama for his “stated intention to shut down and destroy the Nasa [space] programme . . . the Hitler-like healthcare policy and the general, destructive features of all other leading Obama policies.â€
Well in their element amongst these folks.
A retired couple from Illinois passed out fake trillion dollar bank notes. On the back of the bills was a warning to sinners: “If you have done those things, God sees you as a thieving, blasphemous, adulterer at heart. The Bible warns that if you are guilty, you will end up in Hell.â€
Here is Some push-back from Communists.
Rather than seeing imperialism and capitalism—led by the United States—as the enemy of the world’s workers and oppressed peoples, Estulin and his co-thinkers (including the notorious Lyndon Larouche) propagate the fiction that a secret…

I was expecting something from wonkette. I see huffingtonpost has come in.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/09/06/barney-frank-rachel-brown-primary-dining-room-table_n_706726.html
Some of these uber-conservatives are not the answer especially a LaRouche devotee. Change for mere change sake is not neccisarially the answer.
Well, I will be voting for Barney and gleefully giving up the opportunity to support the nutcase dining room table.
“self proclaimed genius” comes in with a link group of larouchepac crap.
Hey, she’s no dummy.. She could have proposed colonization of Venus. Then we’d all be laughing.
She’s much softer than a dining room table. She’s more of a cr@zy quilt.
Amazing how little attention has been paid to the LaRouche aspect! They are political nutjobs even crazier than Randites and Birchers! If anyone thinks for a second that Rachel Brown is a rational human, please google Lyndon LaRouche and see how wrong that thought is!
Colonizing Mars is a wonderful idea! I know EXACTLY what group of people to send in order to make Ms. Brown’s vision a reality.
(And it continues)

I would love to see the two of them debate. Frank v. the irrational piece of furniture. She’d probably come off very wooden.
……………………….
I have not yet decided whether or not I am going to … wait for it… LIVE BLOG the “Dining Room Table Debate”. It’s at 7:30 pm EST, 4:30 pacific… hm. Maybe I’ll end up “Delay-bloggin” it.
Working against the idea is the usual — the disproportionate attention in paying attention to something so utterly irrelevant, which here is confounded by the media that will have me watching it for an hour instead of jumping about as usual. Working for the idea — when else will I be able to indulge in such absurdity?
If I can find a source for the video other than the Larouche site. Game time decision beyond finding a source.

Hard to say if any of these commenters are “Rachel Brown Supporters”.
Hey Frank, have the common decency to remove that gerbil before you address the public.
Maybe this one?
Barney is not a DINO; however, he is disrespectful to anyone that opposes him or reveals truths about him. And, those are his constituents!!!
… tied in with the sympathy of “Sure, she’s insane but” in that “Not a Mob” book.
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2010/09/rep-frank-faces-town-hall-foe-mass-primary/
Yeah, it’s a shame we got that pesky 1st Amendment, Barney.
Oh, puh-lease. That was a pro-Free Speech comment on Barney’s part.
I went to a town hall meeting last August, and there is no arguing with Larouche people, particularly if you have facts. Larouchers hate facts.
Here’s your pro-Larouchie!
Rachel Brown is a devotee of Lyndon LaRouche. Great! That means she is bright, progressive and has an extensive plan. Using space as a science driver and the NAWAPA water project for employment – giving our country a new sense of direction and pride – is brilliant! Barney better look out! Bye, bye Barney? (Isn’t that a song?)
Here’s the response:
LaRouche is no way bright progressive or has an extensive plan. They are batshit. AND
Good! You can follow her and go live on Mars!
Lyndon LaRouche? Is he still around?
Yes, he’s still around. Just another cult.

The chances of Newton electing a Larouchite are precisely zero.
Time to ask the crowd over at 538 for the odds on this one. Frank should take 85-90% of the vote!
I’d love to see a “debate” between the two – if only for the laff value. I think Ms Brown (any relation to Scottie?) would be bringing a pea shooter to a machine gun duel.
Oh, the debate’s coming and it’s here.
http://freerangetalk.com/?p=25951
For scowls and sighs, LaRouche PAC’s latest Obama slammer, Obama’s Failed Personality. (Re the particular brand of insanity that is New Hampshire-born Lyndon LaRouche, I blame their Live Free or Die motto. His Quaker parents must be doing the spin of shame in their graves.)
Maybe she attended Falwell’s excuse for a school, Liberty Lunacy.
http://jezebel.com/5631815/crazy-town-hall-lady-wants-to-win-barney-franks-seat-colonize-mars
I live in Washington state, and every congressional election features one pro-colonization of Mars candidate on the ballot. Strangely, none of the other candidates ever come out against Martian colonization, so I have to assume they all support it too.
Won’t someone think of the Martians!
As an elected representative of the Martian nation of Scotty, I want to categorically say that Rachel Brown does not speak for us, nor would she be welcome in our country. We are a proud nation of Scottish Engineers, and as such we are an exceptionally rational people. We have heard the musings of Ms. Brown and we are urging you to keep her on your own damn planet. If you allow her to come here, we will interpret this as an act of aggression and will retaliate by sending you more of our unwanted citizens – a tactic that worked well for Fidel Castro in 1908 with the Mariel boatlift, and for us when we delivered Tom Delay and Dick Armey to your planet. And no, Anne Coulter is not one of ours, thank you very much!
Ugh, these people are all over the place in Boston. They make some very attractive brochures which make you think they might contain something good, then you open it up and it’s like crazy threw up all over the whole brochure.
I love watching old episodes of Sliders when they land on a terrible, terrible alternate planet and people talk about “President Larouche.” It happened a couple of times in the earlier seasons, before everything went off the rails. The first time I heard it, my boyfriend had to pause it because I started laughing so hard he couldn’t hear what happened next.
In short: Larouchebag supporters are HILARIOUS and totally irrelevant and out of date. Crush her, Barney!
Heh heh heh

4th Congressional Democratic Debate
Democratic challenger Rachel Brown will debate Rep. Barney Frank for one hour tonight on Newton’s cable access channel.
The debate’s moderator, Tony Schinella, of Wicked Local Politics, has invited users to submit questions in advance.
http://blogs.wickedlocal.com/masspolitics/2010/09/05/4th-cd-dems-its-brown-vs-frank-on-tuesday/
I have the pleasure of moderating a one hour debate Tuesday night on Newton cable access between Democratic challenger Rachel Brown and U.S. Rep. Barney Frank, the incumbent, who are both duking it out for the Democratic nomination. This will be the only debate of the primary race and it promises to be an exciting one.
I’m putting together questions this weekend for the candidates and already have some pretty good ones. However, if you have any ideas, put them down as comments here and I’ll consider them for the debate on Tuesday.
And there’s this note:
http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2010/9/6/899612/-Polling-and-Political-Wrap,-9-6-10
The two will debate tomorrow night in Newton, Massachusetts. C-Span…you know what to do.
And in the comments:
I look forward to a highlight reel of the
Frank v LaRouchie debate.
