Not only is Sen Franken within his rights to object and disallow extra time to Sen Lieberman, he is obliged to obey the guidelines of the Senate and stick to the rules as laid out by the Senate. If Sen McCain objects to Sen Franken's action, he should have worked to alter the rules beforehand, not when it suits him or another Senator.
Lieberman you're a miserable cocksucking disgrace to our people.Yea, dat's right folks I'm Jewish but this scum bucket makes my skin crawl. Wait, a little more profanity:Joe, you are a hot, steaming pile of rodent feces. I hope your wife gives you a nice case of the clap,you flithy mother fucking bastard.Why don't you go and fuckin croak already? You, that senile old plane crasher McCain and Palin, what a tri-fecta.Go stand out in hurricane Irene. I don't like Jews like you Lieber!Bravo Franken!
times change McCain! just shut up and retire: your paranoid lies and bullshit don't cut it with anyone with a brain - you are the last hold over Reganite, a dinosaur
McCain's done the same thing he's blasting Franken for here. What a hypocrite. Though I suppose since this lends itself to viral marketing more, we won't see the response circulate nearly as much.

Thanks AL! I guess you don't want to hear ideas from Joe Liebermann on how we can cut costs on healthcare! You are a moron and the people of Minnesota are a bunch of idiots! You idiots put Al Frikin Franken in the senate! What's next a wrestler for governor?
They need to push TERM LIMITS. i'm tired of Mcain standing up for big insurance companies.And then the stereotypical jew,Lieberman making sure the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. This shit's getting old.
Al, I wish we could have more senators like you man. What other BS can Leiberman say? All it will likely do is waste time. This is why it takes forever for shit to happen in congress, because everybody is time lenient and playing old crony games, and all those extra minutes add up eventually, so then you get one sided debates because they stall for time and the opposition cant get a word in. If you can't finish a point in ten minutes, you shouldn't be in congress.
McCain is right, our Congress is torn. BOTH Republican and Democrat parties are voting along party lines. We are a torn country and the far left and right are tearing it further apart.
Americans need to realize the useful idiots who support the Communist Left.... If they were told to goose step and scream Zieg Heil to the King they would do it and justify it.
Franken had all kinds of voter irregularities, ACORN, SEIU, and other thuggery working on his side. Like JFK winning in Cook County over Nixon in '60, and Kennedy beating LBJ in W.Virginia-Union thugs rig elections. Franken is a screwball, not worthy to be in the Senate, but for, fraud, abuse, ACORN registering the unknowing to vote 45 times, like was on a Federal deposition, so, yes, when Norm Coleman is ahead & some precinct worker finds 32 ballots in his trunk & all for Franken, it smells!
If the republicans wouldn't have bogged down the senate with procedural motions this wouldn't have been necessary. Al Franken was just doing what was instructed of him by Harry Reed.
One Big Ass Mistake Ameica..........BP just made the gulf coast and the mississippi river delta a shithole and this is the leadership we(America) voted for. looks like you can lie your way into the presidency, I Love you America and i am saddened to see that we have voted such a novice into office, shows where this country is going. I hope all of the welfare bums use my hard earned money on drugs that will prevent them from voting in the next election. literacy test should be required to vote
@jladd34 You don't seem to understand grammar very well, so maybe you're right about the literacy test. Maybe Ann Coulter wouldn't be allowed to vote either.
@OisNOTdead87 since you gave so much evidence to support your assertion, thats called sarcasm if your emo bitch brain can comprehend that concept. who care about grammar on youtube, i obviously am capable of putting sentences together unlike the millions who voted or obama, and where did ann coulter come from as far as iam concerned she isnt a logical thinking human being thus rendering herself extremists in terms of political ideology along with that POS in the oval office. dont waste my time
@jladd34 The evidence is apparent in what you just wrote. Your entire comment was a run on sentence laced with grammatical errors, but I suppose if you think Ann Coulter is a logically thinking human being you've probably got bigger problems than writing ability to tackle. Where did Ann Coulter come from? I'm not quite sure, but I would have to assume that it's not a place any respectable person would frequent. What gives you the impression I am emo?
@OisNOTdead87 Ok i will put in simple lay terms.... iam not baked anymore, i dont care about grammar on youtube comments, keep on getting hung up on me rushing a paragraph and leaving out some propositions and a few letters, you'll just be wasting time. there a go; a period does that make you happy. at least you can understand what iam trying to say, you on the other hand not to sure. i said ann coulter isnt a logical thinking human being. you know what just stop save your time
@jladd34 ... Do like they did in the day when they would teach you what to do in case the Big Bomb dropped in the 50's and 60's go under your computer desk...
Sen. McCain, I thought, was an adult. Why, then, is he crying like a toddler over spilled milk? This happens all the time! He was just hoping to get some play on the right wing blogs for going on the offensive against the Senator from Minnesota.
EVERYBODY in the Senate goes over their 10 minute limit. Then they ask permission to have an extra 1-2 minutes to finish their thoughts
.
COURTESY has always allowed them to finish what they are saying, because they are friends and colleagues that respect one another. What Franken demonstrates is discourtesy and disrespect, like a brat in a school playground
@harleykman ... Ones right stop where someone elses start. If my hedges are growing on say your fence and growing on your drive way you are going to want me to do my job and cut it.
flashback: mccain objects to more time for dem senator
look it up here on yt. hypocrite mccain did the same thing to a dem first, but now that it happens to the "maverick's" party he gets all indignant. he only pretends to "reach across the aisle." hypocrite.
Go John McCain! You are right in saying that denying a Senator (SENIOR Senator) just one more minute. Al Franken is just a rude and inconsiderate man.
Lieberman has been in the senate since 1988. McCain has been in Congress since 1982. Both of these men should look back at their elected careers with shame to see what America has become while they were in office. Their constituents should feel an equal amount of shame for continuing to reelect these same failures for three decades. Good for Al Franken here.
I have to comment on two things here. Firstly, well done Mr Franken for setting boundaries. I would hope that a little more work got done on that day because of his efforts. But sadly I have to comment on one commenters lament about why someone couldn't back their opinions about a topic with facts. Its because they are clueless..lol Folks if you can't use facts or research to prove a point then you shouldn't be allowed near a computer..lol
@GretchenDawntreader on second thought, there is one time you can argue with videotape, when FOX takes file footage of big rallies from a year ago and puts it on air as being of a much smaller rally that day. Multiple times.
Then, you can argue with videotape. Because it isn't the actual footage.
But if you have a tape of McCain doing the same thing he's pissed off about Franken doing, that's not date dependent.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Way to go Senator McCain! Sad are the times when that clown from Minnesota feels free to deny a distinguished man such as Lieberman time to finish his point.
If everyone would notice,.THIS is exactly why NOTHING Gets done in Congress. They spend 5 minutes dickering over whether to let someone have another minute to finish their comments. Let them finish THEN give opposing view. I've watched several of these videos of our congress at "WORK", and they NEVER DO work. Jesus,.let's throw out BOTH Republicans and Democrats, and let Independents run this country for a while. It's obvious NEITHER give a CRAP about "We The People" unless it is THEIR People.
You have a point... BUT remember in health care the GOP want's NOTHING done... They simply don't care about human lives.. If you die because some insurance company denies payment that's just survival of the fittest to them... UNLESS it's someone they love of course.... That's a different story... Al Franken actually cares about people... So I support him shutting up Lieberman's pie hole... he's part of the GOP just posing as a independent ....

If you guys really know anything about politics, Franken, regardless of your own political views, is kind of a joke in the senate. He is too far left for it to make any sense or be viable in this country. He wont debate. He wont consider. These are important things when he's representing us the people. And BTW, I AM NOT A REPUBLICAN. I find the good and bad in each party. And Franken is the bad on the Left. Anyone wanna to give me a thumbs down, How bout you Fuckin Debate me instead.?.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I'm Republican, lifetime resident of Minnesota. And I agree 100% with you! (Not because he's a Democrat)! For reasons that should be Obvious to EVERYONE regardless of political affiliation! Franken is not only a Joke, and has NO business in the House of Congress at all! He's a complete and utter embarrassment! And Should be to ANY State ANY Party!
You know what really bothers me about this comment? Not that you are calling him a joke and saying he has no business in Congress (which he does since he was elected), but that you give no evidence to explain why he is a joke. Senator Franken speaks his mind and sticks to his personal values, something that should be praised of a Senator, not mocked. You say these reasons should be obvious, but I'm not so sure they are since you can't explain them to us. Give me a reason, then call him a joke.
@turbosquid11 Al Franken likes gerbils inside of his person.
He is a TV clown without reason nor logic, but insane ideas, starting with allowing convicts to vote (favors democrats) and throw out absentee ballots for being too late (which favors conservative via military), but they were too late because the same people who mailed them out, mailed them too late- being democrats, it's an unscrupulouls stratergery*
@TAXtheAtheist It is against human rights to not allow someone to vote. Since a prisoner is still a citizen of the country they should have the right to vote.
Seems like you are a clown that runs around without reason nor logic. If you had logic or reason, you would not have a youtube name called "Taxthe Atheist". Everyone knows that religion is bull shit.
But go on running around spewing out what your parents told you was the truth without actually thinking for yourself.
@TAXtheAtheist The way that "you people" use the phrase "without reason or logic" is itself devoid of reason and logic and is nothing but vacuous claim. You equate reason and logic with being on your team, and that's just not what it is.
Finally someone who doesn't mind cutting through the bullshit in the Senate. McCain wanted to waste time and 'Kill bill'. Franken was on to him. McCain's had 20 years to run his mouth and the country is still in a shit hole. What good would an extra 2 minutes of running his or Lieberman's mouth accomplish? Absolutely none...
McCain spent at least 2 minutes bitching about the members not having an additional one! And there's video of HIM denying a Senator an extra minute some years back .... the guy's a freak and a jack-ass hypocrite!
McCain's an old dry lizard and a showboat. He coulda spared time by donating his extra 2 minutes of rhetoric to a colleague instead of running his mouth. These guys talk too much anyway. Get something done for a change.
This was a time sensitive issue and the republicans are wasting time by talking and talking and Al Franken knows what they're are doing so that is why he denied him the time.
The title of this vid is misleading, it should read " Senator Al Franken denies lieing asshole from Connecticut extra minute to lie" lieberman spent 12 years lieing about his concern for ailing eldely and poor, one more minute won't change a fucking thing: way to go Al.
I reserve this for very special pieces of crap. Franken is a puke. I am repulsed at the thought that the people of my state elected that useless pile.
Strange that there is no video of Franken running out of time during his part in the debate and asks for a couple of minutes to finish... and was given the time.
My comment goes out to all liberals: You're all so weak...Once in a while we conservatives fall asleep & let one of yours be elected (President), it's then that our country wakes up & makes sure it doesnt happen again for around 12 yrs or so........Just lookin forward to 2012 woo hoo!!!
you are right about conservys sleeping...9/11.. dont have to explain that one. Obama being elected was an indictment of the entire Bush administrations 8 years of failure.
3 more years...still dont see any standouts in the GOP. too bad.
how many times did we hear Bush promise some healthcare reform? how much did we get?
weak? this country is and will remain weak with all your liberal , conservative bullshit.
The republicans have gutted and destroyed this bill the point where it is repugnant. Now, it has little value. It is a sham because of the insurance industry profiteering, but mainly because of defectors in my party, and nearly all of the republican party.
All I can hope for is the next civil war to come soon, and cleanse the state and federal houses of congress of the conservative legacy as thralls of american corporatism and the American financial elite class.
The democrats are just as guilty, they both caved to the insurance companies and the ruling class, as usual. As long as the masses are provided with bread and circuses war will not happen.
I believe that the moderate dems, call them the operatives of the DLC or of the creature caucases like the Blue Dog Coalition, are the ones that failed the party.
Looking for handouts to shower constituents with, or to be shbwered with handouts to personal-wealth dispensing firms and persons, they've utterly betrayed the core character of the party.
However, the numbers of how many voted on each side for/against the bill, and who caved in the amendment process, says much.
Can't wait to see you on the end of a bayonet! We're gonna gut you right-wing wackos and bring some sensibility back to America. What better place to start than by cutting out the conservative cancer that pains our commonwealth.
Better run. We're about to give you part two of Sherman's "March to the Sea". This time, we're gonna burn the whole fucking South down, only we'll take the good people with us before we scorch your God-forsaken soil into atomic ash.
you sound crazy....you know that?? i mean really crazy. also did you know that conservatives are the majority?? might surprise you libnuts but....only 20% of the population is liberal........lol.
delusions of grandure is what your having ahaha. did you know?? that twice as many conservatives own guns then liberals ??
good luck cutting off 'the cancer' of conservatism lol.
also did you know....a large majority of our armed forces are conservative or republican........good luck libnut.
I don't know where you got these statistics, but polling your friends doesn't count. Neither does polling your family. I"m not sure how much you get out - looks like you don't get out much at all - but you've obviously lost touch with individual views and political geography.
Zack, if you don't start learning how to think critically, I'm not sure you're gonna survive anything- especially not an NWO that would pretty well-versed in logical reasoning (but because it doesn't exist, you and your conspiracy-bleeding paranoid mind will probably survive). Try facts, like these:
Right. National health care is JUST about paying for abortions, Forget the facts of other things it would pay for: pre/post-natal care of infants, orphanage and group home programs for abandoned children, for foster care subsidization, for parenting courses for expectant mothers, shelters for battered women, drug additction treatment, mental health counseling and psychiatric care... you know, all the things that are needed by parents or in absence of them for children.
Gore won the popular vote, look it up. Bush was appointed by the Supremes.
At least Franken brings humor to the circus called congress. The whole government is a joke on us, owned by corporations, wall street and the banks. Who are owned by the ruling class.
names falsely put on a convicted felons list? yeah, right. It was a 'conspiracy'. Look, Gore should have won by 40 million votes with the economy Clinton handed him. AL GORE is a MORON. Just face it and move on. No, Gore NEVER had more votes, NEVER. Only when the 'media consortium' "COUNTED" the votes... hmmm, you mean the media called the hanging chads for Gore?! WOW, how shocking! I never saw the liberal media 'finding' votes for a liberal democrat! Your too smart for me, tishhead!!
obviously, you are not a big reader so i'll use small words. katherine harris hired a private company to purge felons from the voting rolls. an executive of that company has testified under oath that they were twice told to "loosen" standards so that people with same names or even reversed names of felons were purged.
you can dismiss this as some wacko conspiracy if it's too much for your little brain to process, or you could try reading about it. up to you.
Riight. Or maybe Al Gore should have wiped out George W. Bush by 10 million votes if he wasn't so condescending like you. Those who have to proclaim how smart they are usually are not, and are insecure in their intelligence. I use words like moron and idiot because the word fits. They are in the dictionary, look them up. Gore is an idiot, plain and simple. Clinton would have beaten Bush with his economy. Gore could not, because he is an idiot.
DImpled, hanging chads? Uh, ok. Hey, if I dropped some chewing tobacco on my voter card on Al Gores name, would it count? Those who cant follow the rules, don't deserve to get their vote counted, unless Al Gore's people want to scrounge for 'intended votes'. He is a sore loser who lost a sure thing.
interesting that you dismiss this discussion as a conspiracy and then you buy the idea that the so-called liberal media (the same media that were cheerleaders for the war) made up a ballot count. they counted under different standards (hanging chads, dimpled chads etc.). gore had more votes under every standard.
unsolicited advice: people will take you more seriously if you don't drop words like moron and jerkoff in every sentence.
Since you are so into 'studies', why don't you find the studies that point out how liberal the media is. Even the liberal media admit this. But you deny this well known fact? Wow, you must be smart as long as it goes along with your opinions, and then act like a blind man when it doesn't suit your argument. I'm sure people take me seriously, including you that is why you replied to me. After all, would a court jester like me warrant your reply on Youtube? This truth hurts, don't it? :)
would a liberal media cheerlead for the iraq war as the ny times shamelessly did? would a liberal media not have shown the video of bush saying it didn't matter whether we caught bin laden as many times as they showed clinton saying he didn't have sex with lewinsky? would a liberal media not have hammered home the fact that bush, as governor, signed a law that provided for just the kind of recounts in texas that he said were unconstitutional in florida?
Nice try. I'm not a Bush defender. The liberal media would temporarily back ANY sitting president if it gets them good stories. The media has admitted itself it is largely liberal. It has been proven so many times... Just do a little research.. not a lot just a little. This isn't about Bush, this is about GORE is an idiot. Bush wasn't much better. Obama is worse than both. He will take all of your grandchildren's money. You know it, you see it happening..
if the media would back any president, it is not a liberal media.
the idea of a liberal media is a myth for the intellectually lazy. it is simply not true. i cited 3 examples above. if i had space, i could probably cite 3,000. it is a corporate media and it, by and large, serves corporate interests.
do reporters vote democratic? i'm sure they do. but that's a little like saying GM is liberal because the guys working on the line vote democratic.
Florida is rigged only against idiot minorities who can't read directions. Bush and Obama are two sides of the same coin. Corrupt, and liberal with OUR money. Yours and mine. Obama is giving YOUR money to CEO's of corporate America, too! How far we've fallen from George Washington to ex-crack dealing Chicago playuhs like Obama. Keep defending the jerkoff while he spends all your grandchildren's money on 'Stimulus' spending. You stupid idiots.
C-SPAN has produced the "lost tape" tape showing Senator John McCain setting the precedent for what he now claims in "unprecedented" in the Senate: Denying another member extra time to complete their statement.
The Republicans are against this tax reform bill because they have nothing to offer but obstructionism. Whether or not the American people are against the bill remains to be seen .... despite the incessant statements of the right-wing media.
Fraken is such an asshole! Every senator knows the senate is a house of gentlemen! If a senator asks for a few extra minutes, you give it to him. Thats how its always been.
A gentlemen was cut off after his 10 minutes earlier that afternoon.
And gentleman McCain objected to Sen. Mark Dayton's request for an extra 30 second to complete his remarks in the Congressional debate over the invasion of Iraq in 2002.
"I've never seen a member denied an extra minute or so..."
You mean except when YOU yourself did it during the Iraq War debate? McCain is so used to flip-flopping by now, I don't think he could stop himself if he wanted to.
Thank You. finally a Democratic Senator with some balls, who can say how it is. Obviously, Franken was upset about Lieberman's position on Health Care, and how he is trying to help his state get some of the piece of the bill.
Sen. Franken was in the Chair and was instructed to hold EVERYONE to the 10 minute limit. Another speaker was cut off earlier that day. And Minnesota will profit less from the bill than other states, because we already receive 85-90% service to cost.
You got to love Al Franken: Last year during a floor debate, then-Sen. Mark Dayton (D-MN) spoke in favor of an amendment offered by Sen. Robert Byrd that would have restricted Bushs constitutional powers to wage war against Iraq. After a minute and a half, Dayton ran of time, prompting this exchange:The Senators asked for unanimous consent that he have 30 seconds more to finish his remarks McCAIN then shouted. "I object." McCain's so old, he thinks he still lives in a time without videotape.
McCain did same to sen. Mark Dayton they found the tape saw it tonight on MSNBC c-span tapes!! also McCain is the most absent senator in history when it comes to voting when he does vote he votes down soldier safety he does not show for any vote that will help a soldier and he was at a party for the most important vote for soldiers last year either and about this McCain thinks we are stupid when it is he that is stupid.

Like JFK winning in Cook County over Nixon in '60, and Kennedy beating LBJ in W.Virginia-Union thugs rig elections. Franken is a screwball, not worthy to be in the Senate, but for, fraud, abuse, ACORN registering the unknowing to vote 45 times, like was on a Federal deposition, so, yes, when Norm Coleman is ahead & some precinct worker finds 32 ballots in his trunk & all for Franken, it smells!

EVERYBODY in the Senate goes over their 10 minute limit. Then they ask permission to have an extra 1-2 minutes to finish their thoughts
.
COURTESY has always allowed them to finish what they are saying, because they are friends and colleagues that respect one another. What Franken demonstrates is discourtesy and disrespect, like a brat in a school playground

Didn't McCain deny senators the ability (and not the right) to continue speaking for a minute or two before?

McCain objected to Sen. Mark Dayton's request for an additional 30 seconds in 2002. I doubt McCain even remembers.

The problem is that 1 minute of liebermann speaking seems like an eternity.

Obamadidit2008 - I tried to respond directly to you but when I click on your screen name I get directed to a picture of a boy degrading his humanity by pretending to be a girl and promoting moral perversion. I anted to correct something you said to someone else. You said conservatives were "rednecked." No, you need to say "redneck conservatives" because it is a euphemism and not describing the literal color of our necks. In regard to your comment to me - f u very much!!

SgtBanks1: Actually, every single elected official,from dog-catcher on up to the Commander in Chief, In every town,city,viilage,county across America. should be dragged kicking & screaming to the nearest light pole, and strung up by their necks.Their putrid corpses should be left hanging untll the birds,animals, and bugs eat all the cartilidge from the bones and they turn to dust . Let that serve as a reminder to the next bunch of politicians to not FUCK us anymore...

Obamadidit, you, like all leftists, prove that your ingnorance is outgunned only by your outright stupidity. People like you are what forms a country like Cuba or the former USSR. You should be ashmed of yourself. Go back into your hole and read your Archie comics willya? They're more your speed.

licentious dimwit. capitalism has single handedly destroyed the family with forcing stores to open on sundays, business people who demand overtime from their employees, or cutting their hours and forcing folks to take 2 jobs. religion in america is doing a FINE JOB at destroying itself. community IS GOOD. and sharing is good also,you selfish twit
