Is This Any Way for a Future Senator to Talk?
Posted by: Amanda Carpenter at 12:24 PM
"He was so bad he made it impossible for a white guy to run for president." –Comedian-turned-Democratic Senate candidate Al Franken, quoting Chris Rock to jab former President Bush at an Air America party in Minnesota last weekend.

Franken makes the snarky comment at the end of his remarks around the 11:15 mark.

Franken's to the left of me....

The clown acts of the emperor's Bread and Circus reign are acting out.

get a sense of humor
cause that's funny.

of course social conservatives really don't have any sense of humor...

Except Bill Bennett who just told Rush Limbaugh to shut up!!!!!!

Way to go Bill! there are sensible people on Townhall!

Humor
Considering that the libocrat rage over the Barack the Magic Negro song, I would conjecture that libocrats have no actual sense of humor, only an artificial exuberance over hearing their enemies insulted, a sort of tingling sensation traveling up the leg.

What?
Is air america still in business?

WHo can believe MN elected a guy whose career highlight is "c" level role playing a drunk guy in an ape outfit in an Eddie Murphy film...

Frank here is of the "do as I say, not as I do" party. No sense in debating with him, he has none (sense that is).

Frank, sorry if the truth hurts, but you give yourself away everyday here.

Frank's short memory and the Magic Negro
"Pray tell which libocrats in the RNC chair race denounced the magic negro song?"

You might wish to refresh your memory as to who originated the Magic Negro controversy.

Remember it was started in a Los Angeles Times column written by a black liberal columnist who questioned Obama's status as an authentic African-American.

Does that help?

Did you denounce David Ehrenstein? No?

If not, you must have found Ehrenstein's column to be humorous thus your silence.

Since Bush "plundered the country" as a big spending liberal, you should hold him in high esteem like you do FDR, LBJ, Carter (i.e. POS if I am to hold the 3 letter acronym form) and their fellow socialists alike.

It's good of you to defend Franken's "humor." Cause, I mean, he's a really funny guy. Joking about women getting raped--HILARIOUS! Joking about assassinating the President--HILARIOUS!! Joking that he would never run for the Senate seat because there shouldn't be 50 people who would vote for him--HILARIOUS!!! Unfortunately, he midjudged people's idiocy by about a factor of 36,000...
Homer writes: Monday, January, 26, 2009 2:42 PM
VI O 'Haha writes even more absurdities:
"Gauging a Senator's 'actions"

Scarlett, Our Dear Sweet Troll, Miss Twisty of the Left, you haven't defended Franken yet. Please do so now. We await your response with bated breath.

Al Franken's Democrat opponents, Priscilla Lord Faris campaign ad says, "No matter how many millions he spends, it is clear that his history of pornography, degrading women, and minorities and his questionable financial transactions will continue to be the focus..." Democrats across Minnesota agree with her.

Al Franken is simply unfit for office. Rude, crude jokes, jokes about rape, jokes about child abuse, pornography.

He wrote a pornographic column in Playboy -- and thought it was funny.

He tackled a heckler at a Howard Dean rally.

He's mocked people who disagree with him.

He has an anger problem. From exploding at radio hosts to profanity-laced tirades, Al Franken can't keep it in check.

Franken joked about raping CBS reporter Lesley Stahl.
Franken: "I give the pills to Lesley Stahl. Then when Lesley's passed out, I take her to the closet and rape her."

Vice President Al Gore "...said he wished he had walked out on Franken once the jokes went sour."

Franken even joked about child abuse.

I would call you a jerk but that would be unseemly of me.


Frank writes: Monday, January, 26, 2009 3:22 PM
seems nobody knows
which of RNC chair wanna be(several) denounced the magic negro song which tells me the rank and file is woefully ignorant of their own internal politcs.

Yes the GOP is a party of know nothings. Thanks for the proof of that.
Aaron writes: Monday, January, 26, 2009 3:22 PM
franken is loser
Franken knows he's going to lose the election, he almost stole it and got away with it.
Homer writes: Monday, January, 26, 2009 3:28 PM
One way communications and no
intellectual curiosity best describes Frank, S. O'Haha and the other liberal trolls. They only transmit, they do not receive, and they are not in the least curious to learn how they have been mislead by their liberal democrat keepers.
Homer writes: Monday, January, 26, 2009 3:36 PM
A challenge for Frank the Honorable:
Republican National Committee chair Robert M. Duncan refuted the song.

What liberal democrat refuted the Obama "Magic Negro" column written by liberal African-American David Ehrenstein in the liberal LA Times?

When you answer that question, I have another one for you.

Why No One will take you seriously
Your ad hominem attacks-
"reichwing"
"Idiot."
Your feign attempts to label and inject class and social strata in nearly every thing you do..errily mirroring the Marxist Leninist tactics throughout "struggles" in the early 20th Century...
"the gilded class"-..you must have been referring to the Kennedys, Kerrys, Cuomos, The Feinsteins..and many other Democrats that make up the majority of wealth in the US Congress, and in the country for that matter..(Dr. Arthur Brooks, Syracuse University..Who Really Cares..."
Homer writes: Monday, January, 26, 2009 3:58 PM
More from the O' Haha style sheet...
a thousand irrelevant tools
fainting couch vapors
the tsunami of laughter
hysterically hypocritical 'outrage'
brazenly lawless administration
where's my popcorn!

Good stuff, that.

"c" level role playing a drunk guy in an ape outfit"

One of your guys played opposite a monkey in a movie. He also did sketch comedy on the Milton Berle show. And you worship him as a god.
AmericanSentry  writes: Monday, January, 26, 2009 6:51 PM
But Reagan was talented.....
Franken is a Catskil Hack..low humor for low people..Reagan was well respected as an actor, and grew into a globally recognized political and visionary powerhouse..I don't hold actors and celebrities in great esteem, but Reagan was a historical figure who was destine for political greatness..Franken is a mouth..and low class Catskill hack to boot..he is niether talented, gifted, or visionary in anything I can see he has done in the public domain..a perfect spokesmen for the "quip,. burn, and divide" MSNBC-esque liberal agenda...

I see your reply about the ape suit, but for the life of me I can't find your reply on his "rape" comments.

As a good faith measure, and to show the American public you are serious about what you propose, what ya say we start by sterilizing members of your family before you put OUR money where your MOUTH is!.....Yours Truely, An American Tax Payer

I really dislike Al Franken
But that recent comment by Al the Clown is nothing on the snarky crazy Franken scale. We need to go back in the not too distant past, like the time he physically attacked Michael Medved in Minnesota. http://www.minnesotademocratsexposed.com/2008/07/02/franke ns-uncontrolled-anger-and-rage-highlighted-in-minnesota-mon thly-article/

If you want Franken crazy, that is crazy.

"I see your reply about the ape suit, but for the life of me I can't find your reply on his "rape" comments."

I didn't say anything about the ape suit either, but rather pointed out that entertainers often go into politics.

"And you worship him as a god."

No, we respect him as a great leader and a decent man.

Only you liberals think that politicians are gods.
