Al Franken on "Larry King Live" - Part 1 of 2

[OHThatOneGuy1]

"War profiteering is treason" Al Franken is my hero

[OHThatOneGuy1]

Bill O'Reilly is the kid that punches other kids on the playground

[OHThatOneGuy1]

He is no longer a comedian he is MY US Senator. He is still funny, but he's no longer a comedian.

[mydogbanjo]

Al Franken isn't funny in real life. He's a big douche. He doesn't know anything about anthropological global warming which means he'll only fuck things up worse.

[mcnesta80]

You guys are still scared shitless of reds under the bed. OH MY GOD!!!! He was a commie at college! How strange! If you're not a commie when you're young, you have no heart. If you don't give it up, you have no brain. In Australia we have an atheist prime minister who was a paid up member of the actual communist party at college. Guess what? No one cares! She's also childless and living in sin. Imagine what Sarah Palin would say about that! Unlike Sarah, our PM has a triple figure IQ though.

[kennethrobinson11231]

And shit like this is in washington

[gombis666]

Franken is such a slime ball.

[BelfastAtheist]

@gombis666

He really isn't.

Thanks for joining in though.

[tuesdayismoney]

Where's the second part?

[sdsunandfun]

al franken is a comedian more so as a senator. Youtube, Yuri Bezmenov.

he is really one of the useful idiots of marxism.

[sdsunandfun]

al franken is a comedian more so as a senator

[thatsmyrail]

Larry is such a respectful guy. Faux news should take an example.

[gspendlove]

SENATOR AL FRANKEN FOR PRESIDENT!!!!

[RealTime88]

@gspendlove One of the few conservatives I like Ben Stein endorsed Al Franken for Senator.

[merchmarine97]

AL FRANKEN IS A CUNT !!!

[smethious]

@merchmarine97 your mother is a cunt.. tell her I said hi

[merchmarine97]

@smethious Oh, i will as soon as I'm done fucking yours.

[catndryer]

Franken was once arrested for eating his dog's ass in a bus. No joke.

[smethious]

@catndryer that was your mother you meth smoking fool

[1957welder]

Thank You Sentor Franken, PLEASE!!! Jesus Christ come and get you child molesting Republican christians and the muslims and give us Atheist the earth so we can restore it back to the Garden your christian believed existed 6000 years ago

[5ezpzez]

@1957welder: Clearly, you know nothing...nothing at all. Al Franken is a washed out COMIC from SNL...he is a self-described COMMUNIST.

YOU, on the other hand, are a moronic blatherskite with too much time on your

hand.

BTW, genius, it is spelled S-E-N-A-T-O-R.

[dorkandproudofit]

@5ezpzez Okay, tell me WHERE he described himself as a communist. Show me the link to where he said it.

Meanwhile, I can show you a link of O'Reilly lying about getting a Peabody, and then after being caught, changes it to winning a Polk award, then he claims that he NEVER said that he won a peabody, when in fact there are several clips of him saying so.

[5ezpzez]

@dorkandproudofit: I agree...you are a dork. As far as O'reilley is concerened,I don't care much for the arrogant & pompous prick myself. I would readily believe anything you say about the weasel.

Al Franken constantly referred to himself as a Communist in the 1970's...I apologize, but my Way-Back machine is on the fritz, so I won't be able to bring you back to that weird & wonderful time to see & hear for yourself. Besides, you had to be there.

[8902654]

You gotta' wonder what this jack ass is going to come up with next. I'm sure it it'll be one more law that we have to deal with.

[jays2474]

The poll shouldnt surprise anyone.Politicians are one big joke anyway.

[bottlecapbill19]

In the words of Drew Carry as he is spraing aerosol cans in the air... "Screw the grandkids Im cold now."

[jays2474]

LOL,I like how people are giving your comment a thumbs down.These fucking idiot liberals are just down right miserable people.MAN MADE GLOBAL WARMING IS BULLSHIT!!!!!!!I am for alternative energy,but Im against people like gore lying to profit off the people.Any of you liberals by any carbon credits from gores company?

[zrac09]

great idea on a wind turbine factory in an abandoned auto plant. solar and wind energy are not pie in the sky...they are being blocked by the same kinds of well funded interests that killed hemp(not the female plant for euphoric effect) which could be used instead of trees for paper, clothing, and i discovered recently...even fuel. oil coal and nuclear are the crack cocaine of energy sources..expensive

inneficient and dangerous. we must wean off them soon. only war and destruction if not.

[Lorenzo312]

Franken's a good guy... you'll never see o'Reilly do a USO show, mainly because he would be booed or beat off stage, and was a cheerleader for the unjust, mismanaged war that landed them there. Republicans have a strong tradition of tearing down honorable military people (Kerry, Murtha, Webb, Powell, the list continues forever). You see, the Republicans always support the military industrial complex, but never the troops themselves.

[jobbins008]

Franken is a joke and is not qualified to hold position. We elected a comedian to office...only in America.

[oneirishpoet]

looks like jobbinass is showing his (her?) true Repig colors...Al Franken is so much more qualified to be Senator than Dumbyass Buss was to be President...Bushfuck was a legacy admission to Yale whereas Franken actually got in to Harvard on his own merit and intellect...you, jobbass are not qualified to carry Franken's jock strap, asshole! It's really just amazing how fucking stupid you Repigs are...,and I'm guessin' YOU didn't elect Franken to the Senate ya fuckin' mo-ran!!!!

[jobbins008]

wow...expand your vocab a little. its obvious your a liberal. filthy mouth loser

[danisaacs]

Technically, he's a satirist.

We elected an actor to be President. No problems with a funny writer being a Senator.

[amotionlesson]

yeah, you should be electing dumbass cowboy movie actors. or someone who played "Hercules in New York". someone more credible.

[Lndmk227]

Yeah, never mind the fact that we have a "Governator" in California--who is Republican, yet you haven't said a word about him.

Wonder which party you belong to.

[withoutasong]

Republicans are friends to war, not warriors.

[wvu05]

@withoutasong That's true, and it is something I remember whenever I wake up in the morning with a bad back because the GOP decided not to send enough armor plating in the right sizes for the servicemen and servicewomen in Iraq.

[myfight22]

Crazy wackos

[littlezsnguy]

i can go in wikipedia and change that bronze star to say silver star. its that easy. anybody can edit any article on there. have fun trusting wikipedia the rest of your life.

[withoutasong]

Good points but Murtha won the bronze star according to wikipedia

[DaHonestAbe]

I've met him. Franken is a great man!

[dalton2317]

lol thats believable

[mossbergmaniac1947]

I hate it when democrats pose as critical thinkers and act high and mighty when they are just as confused and lost as the republicans.

[franksherry]

Your right Al ,our grand kids will be left with 10 trillion dollars you and Obama will leave them. I think you should have to account for all those extra votes your getting in your state.Ann Coulter has more balls than you do. I never thought you were funny either. John Murtha called our troops a bunch of murderers. Remember Abscame. Your just an ass.

[CherryIce1114]

you're right Mann Coulter does have balls

[mb6578]

or that un-needed war that took away clintons surplus oh and the administration that brought on an economic depression. tosser

[shortbuspride08]

I'd rather be 10 trillion in debt in a recovering - perhaps even soaring - economy, than not spend a dime and end up turning Canada into the next nation facing mass illegal immigration once America goes to shit.

[finerbiner]

I will grant that liberal groups can't wait to over react to global warming issues. What you are saying is an over reaction of equal proportion. The burning of fossil fuels is a major worldwide problem. It will only get worse as world population increases and more and more coal is burned. As an example, look up the data on the incidence if asthma in relation to proximity to coal fired power plants. The closer you get the more dramatic the rise. CO2 is pollution and needs to be phased out.

[miket1m]

He should stay a comedian. Spots on the sun is not global warming. TThere is no such thing as global warming.

[cupocity303]

hmmmmmmm bullshit.

Keep listening to far-right hacks telling you that tthere is G. warming.

[haasxaar]

this is a good man - he is not, unlike the poster, a dishonest, mean prick with a narrow minded agenda -

[theatreoffrarce]

Playsetman, I don't think Al Franken has that much of a political machine in his disposal like a big-city democrat might (Daly,etc), that said I heard all the same accusations you made about Bush's victory in Ohio on 2004.

[playsetman]

frankin is a piece of trash,stealing election

[teamhex]

How did he steal the election, it was close.

[playsetman]

finding votes in trunks of cars,counting ballots that people made mistake on and asked for another-all in heavy democrat precincts-same story very election-there are 3 democrat senators that in the past years really lost election- 40 seats in various offices really were won by republicans-they claim they are "intimidated" if police come to the polls,what they really mean is they cant cheat if people are wacthing-some heavy frankin precincts have more votes that people that signed in-impossible

[Matt04182]

A lot of you Al Franken haters have no sense of humor. Reading your comments is sort of depressing.

[BlackKnight03]

It's because they have no sense of humor just like Muslim Extremists. Coincidence? I THINK NOT!

[filipeflower2]

"Coincidence? I THINK NOT!" You quoted Bernie from 'The Incredibles'! Go hit yourself!

[kennny732]

congrats al! you will make a fine senator

[BillJoyce155]

He claims to have the talent to make people laugh..............He only make me sick. If this is what the Dems have to offer many who voted for Obama will go back to the republicans...

[fakweet]

Al Gores a good actor.

[bimini9]

Would any person in the military take him serious if he said pull the troops. I bet they would say you make us leave Iraq and come here!

Sorry guys.He needs a little bit of toughening up. This is a mans job not a kids acting job.That Bush stuff is old. Obama would run circles around you. At least he had to suck up to street pimps and black Ghetto lords to make his way.

[billthecat0105]

What the hell does that even mean bimini9? Do you know anything about politics?

because either you're an idiot or I missed the lecture in my civics class on how you have to fight someone to get into the senate building.

[playsetman]

al franken is a clown and a joke-his real name is stuart smally

[alvarezplayer21]

please stop talking

[BlackKnight03]

Sup Bill'O

[Mito91090]

Fuck you Franken.

[jokamachi]

sad o'reilly pinhead

[timin770]

You suck, Al. You LOST, Al. Now, GET lost...

[alvarezplayer21]

u wanna revise that dumb fuck.....

[schwa958]

I never thought I would see an owl talk to a retard. Now I have seen everything

[RoseBud246]

Intelligent thoughts comes from the mind. Al "thinks" with his heart and the full extent of his emotions. Emotions cloud rational thought.

[thejonny5ive]

I hope that all the universal health neigh-sayers are watching the economy. I'm sure that a massively growing meltdown and out of control spending (a large portion spent in Iraq) won't end up coming out of your taxes. I love how universal health care is so scary.

Let industry take care of you. You can trust industry, can't you? And besides when industry fails, you the gov. will bail them out. But wait, isn't that socialist? Why not be up front with it?

[PrisonerOfTheCube]

Universal health care... The American public better not get the shaft like they did when they passed "universal car insurance".. I will rebel hard core if another oppressive law is passed the sucks at my pocket book.

[mastgrr]

It's ironic that in America, cars have mandatory insurance but not the drivers.

[PrisonerOfTheCube]

The law should be... You want to insure your car thats your right. Now it is set up so the high school kid has to buy insurance for the Mercedes that your rich neighbor is driving. Health insurance would screw the consumer as well. They must start by fixing the crazy amounts hospitals pay for equipment and labor. They also need to find a way to control how much a hospital can charge for its goods/services.

[RorySPQR]

And Bill O'Reilly isn't?

[stjdavis]

Frankin is a born loser.

He just looks like the kid that I used to beat up in school and take his lunch money.

[artistmgmt]

stjdavis, if you had to beat kids up to make yourself feel better, you must have been really insecure with a small schlong. sucks to be you.

[anavarro09]

yeah sucks to be you. taking lunch money? parents didnt feed you at all ? is that why you're so retarded?

[ChrisCrockerTime]

Franken is going to win this thing. Smart guy, cause he goes on national news and names regions of Minnesota which excites people in those areas.

[RealTime88]

I think Al Franken is a smart guy and he has good ideas. But he's not just a comedian anymore now that he is running for Senate. He said it himself in this clip. He's a good guy for the job!!

[Kornmang]

Good guys dont make fun of the mentally ill

[PATRIOT7ME]

only an idiot like you would say that

[rmbbuyer]

TIMING ABOUT "LIPSTICK" VERY BAD BY HUSSEIN!! WOW, WOW, WOW!! AND NOW HE'S CRYING TO SLICK WILLY FOR HELP!! WOW!

PUCK OBAMA!

Is Obama running against Palin? Hahahaha hhehehehe

Obama another BAD JUDGMENT CALL by picking Biden! Wow!

No Palin if Hillary was chosen!

Another dumb move HUSSEIN!

No Bill Clinton (Slick Willy Impeached) w/o Ross Perot ! Fact 1992

[edmntoilerz]

Al is awesome!!!!!!!!!

[GxR6x8]

that was so unbelievably not funny.

[thauruin]

Al Franken's really funny.

[novembertenth1775]

mush head

[Mleon0011]

franken!!!

[jimmyisforhaters]

racist? racist? WHAT?!

[Mleon0011]

excuse me, he doesnt teach the truth. He teaches hate, welfare, racism..Pig

[bradley1107]

hate and welfare dont really go together. and how exactly is he a racist? OH Because he has made a few lighthearted jokes about race. Hes a comedian by the way...But anyway, You're a shithead so you won't understand

[Mleon0011]

I love macodoughshous...ur are right! *Let freedome ring*...wait I mean, *Let debating ring*!!! Al Farrakan is a racist pig who unfort. blinds noneducated people to the tuth but teaches hate. Why cant great people like Jesse Peterson rise! Why do all the hateful, evil people get the headlines

[ABlaine]

Thank God for Al Franken. He does satire, which means he exposes wickedness and folly. Satire is not always funny, but neither are the hypocrites,liars and intellectual thugs Franken goes after.

[bootpdx]

Chariman of the committee of permanent investigations that falsely investigated George Calloway for supposedly making money off of the oil for food program. Too bad Saudi Arabia and the UAE made tons of money off of the program, but they don't get investigated of course.

[Nihlstorp]

Who cares what party you like. Whoever gets elected has a hell to clean up Bush adm mess.

Nomatter you are dem or rep Bush is a disaster

[crawdad7]

It never ceases to amaze me that right-wingers look up all these videos of people whom they cannot stand and take the time to write about how they suck. I guess that's the only way they get people to communicate with them. Pathetic.

[macadoughshus]

I'm not right, or left-winged. I have no real agenda. I look up people I hate and talk a lot of shit about them. I too like to express my opinion and be heard. Sometimes even stir things up a bit. Start debates. Anonymously call people idiots and curse words. Does it make me pathetic, or American? Why shouldn't opposing opinions be expressed here? Why is it pathetic to challenge your opposition?

[crawdad7]

What are you challenging? What substance are you bringing? Anonymously calling people idiots doesn't make you an American, it makes you an idiot. It's just noise without any reason.

[macadoughshus]

You just anonymously called me an idiot. That's a contradiction. That's American. I'm challenging you on your comment. What is pathetic about that? Why shouldn't people watch things they don't like and comment about them? Isn't that an American right? Aren't you ready to defend what you believe, even against noise? If your only defense is calling me an idiot, then who's the idiot?

[crawdad7]

And I have a reason. You say you like anonymously calling people idiots and using curse words; that to me, without being substantiated, makes you an idiot. I gave you a reason, you haven't given any reasons, just the fact that you mouth off because "you like to stir the pot". Have a reasoned debate on something besides you like to look up videos and start debates for no apparent reason.

[yersi]

left-wingers are just as bad fyi

[creativebuzz]

AL FRANKEN IS NOT IN TOUCH WITH REALITY!! He believes nothing but the trash that spews out of his rediculous mouth! I don't know who I hate more... Franken, Michael Moore or Hillary... all a bunch of lib freaks that want to spread lies.

[NickDanger0001]

Then present some facts or a counter argument. Insults prove nothing but your ignorance.

[creativebuzz]

Listen to him talk... lies and garbage! You believing a Joke like Al Franken is enough to PROVE YOUR IGNORANCE ASS HOLE. YES, I INSULTED YOU, Because it doesn't matter if I give you 1000 items of proof... you'd still sit on you paper soap box acting all "Holier Than Thou" (Like Franken). I've tried the common sense approach... it doesn't work with Frickin' Lib idiots like yourself and your heroes I listed. So just STFU.... Your arrogance and condescending attitude goes no where with me.

[NickDanger0001]

As I said, insults prove nothing except your inability to actually present an argument. Oh, and your cowardice, since it is very safe to assume you would never dare utter such things in person. One of the big problems with the internet is the anonymous aspect that provides cowards such as yourself a place to spew the insults you've always secretly wished to vomit and suffer no retaliation. In real life anybody who tried this would soon be beaten to a pulp or dead.

[ashleypeyton]

Yes, yes, yes. You're exactly right.

Unfortunately the substantive comments are outnumbered by comments like those from creativebuzz by about 10 to 1.

[greshamdublin]

I've read Finnegans Wake. I'm smarter than you. I say Franken, Michael Moore, and Hillary are cool.

[creativebuzz]

Ohhh... you can read?

[philberz]

You dont have a shred of evidence to back up that b.s. Al Franken hasnt told a lie in his life. Read the book 'LIES AND THE LYING LIARS WHO TELL THEM'

[semajreh]

Al Franken is what Paul Wellstone was. He believes government is for the people. Should be for the people. He is honest when he says that is his cause.  You can like him or hate him but he knows more about what is going on than Norm Coleman. It is a mystery why he would be on Larry King.

[mercurymeteor]

It's no mystery to me. Larry is a lefty just like pinhead here.

[estshuffler13]

Is that because he actually lets Franken speak unlike O'Reilly. Larry always lets both sides speak and then we the viewer can decide. O'Reilly only wants his side to be heard and he tries to make the other side look like idiots, by spewing childish insults and threats at is guests.

[mercurymeteor]

You can always count on a soft ball interview with King. He is a light weight. Why do I bother with Youtube? Franken is just another wimp who wants to negotiate with people who strap bombs onto retarded citizens to blow up innocent people. How do you communicate with neolithic throwbacks?

[gharris30]

Ask your wife how to communicate with neolithic throwbacks and you'll have your answer!

[Ric14425]

FRANKEN IS A FAR LEFT LOOSER.

[Converge88]

OOOO, universal healthcare! CRAZY!

Renewable energy! NUT! Global warming! NOT HAPPENING!

He's CRAZY!!!

lol

Please refrain from voting and/or living.

[tripillthreat]

Looser than what?

You're obviously a far-right speller.

[mzklover]

...and the sweeping generalization you just made about those on the far-right demonstrates how intolerant and narrow-minded you are about those who think differently than you do. Open up that narrow mind!

[tripillthreat]

I'm not sure you understand the doctrines of tolerance and open-mindedness. They don't typically include, for instance, being tolerant of intolerance.

If it were otherwise, then I would be guilty of that which you accuse me. But YOU would be just as guilty of being intolerant of MY intolerance, and narrow-minded regarding MY narrow-mindedness. See how that works?

Oh, and where exactly did the "sweeping generalization occur?"

[jovad1234]

OldPappy??..Are you retarded??!!!..I can't understand you. You might disagree with what's he's saying, however he's saying it with intellect, humor, etc...just to call somebody retarded just shows  your ingnorance!!!

[chollie1234]

anybody that votes for this fool is a fool

[jawinota]

The whole argument on whether we should plan for global warming or not is a moot point. If it doesn't happen and we plan for it the worst case scenario is a global economic depression. If it does happen and we DON'T plan for it the worst case scenario is unthinkable. Therefore, there really is no argument, unless of course you're George Bush...

[cnlfun4us]

i love how al mentions bio fuels they burn faster then gas create smog wow witty guy. maybe we should look at the green house gases from the volcano in alaska it will create the equal to the last 40 years in green house from it exploding.

[drumsfightingandstuf]

Yeah bio fuels methods need to be researched and perfected, as does many other types of fuels, so we can get away from oil. And the fact you said about a volcanic eruption equaling the last 40 years is just flat out false. The American Geophysical Union did a study that showed humans put out 150 times more greenhouse gases than a volcanic eruption each year.

[dantej32]

Ethonal yeilds 35% more energy than it does to produce. so as far as burning faster than 100% gasoline in moot. Why give terrorists our money? There are NO greenhouse gasses that come frome volcanoes. what comes from the volcano is bio degradable thus it does not affect the atmosphere.

[HMunster1313]

this is perhaps one of the most asinine comments I had ever heard

[Purushadasa]

Cnlfun, do us all a favor and learn to communicate in proper English before you post any more idiotic tripe. At the very least, we should be able to read and understand your ridiculous posts without straining to interpret them into proper English first. Your low IQ is bad enough -- don't assault us with your horrible grammar as well.

[tiggerbox1]

al for minnesota 2008

[moegolden]

I think Franken might be able to beat anyone in a debate. He's a smart enough guy and he's proven among the sharpest wits of the century.

[RandallFlaggNY]

That's affirmative. Don't underestimate him. Norm's gonna' need Bush's secret radio and ear piece.

[JRodB]

And he actually make valid and truthful points.

Watch the debate with Franken and Coulter. She got fucking schooled, no question.
