"Disgrace"

[killerbandit]

The Neo-cons are uncomfortable when a liberal shows them the steel in their spine. All should put out an ad with this douche bag cowering in some dark corner.

[huhftyuu]

That doesn't look like the same footage. If you notice the footage shown in the fake tvs at the end, there is a camera flash on Franken's left. No such flash is seen in the video of the story. Plus he smiled more when telling the story.

But anyways, who gives a s**t if he gets angry sometimes? It has nothing to do with leading.

[kposse77]

Look at 0:45. There's a noticible flash while Al is waving his arm.

[tommyers]

Even if Franken really was an angry person, I would love to know why most politicans don't get this angry about certain injustices in this country and our world.

[we6jbo]

What's Al Franklin so angry about?

[MrsMiniver]

we6jbo, you're a little slow, aren't you?

[RoskoFontana]

I heard Al Franken turns dead babies into crack and then smokes them, and is secretly controlled by alien overlords (who are in turn controlled by the Illuminati. . . or maybe it's the other way 'round). Plus he's a "satirist" which I think means he has horns and cloven hooves. . . and we all know what THAT means. . . .

But still, I just can't bring myself to vote for Norm Coleman.

[JohnMan59]

God, I am STILL Laughing. That was funny.

Coleman/Bush lies more. We all know it.

Funny as HELL!

[zapponsalvia]

Go Al Go!

[DakotaDagger]

Yeah, different clothes but same joke!

[sqwankymonk]

he is wearing different clothes...

[RideOnHardOn]

Franken, you need to stick to low quality comedy!

Do what you do best :-\

[jpbalkenende]

You could throw a dart at the phonebook and you'd have more than a 50% chance you'd get someone more qualified to govern than a republican.

Franken is more than qualified to best Coleman.

[skiingpowder10]

GO AL GO !! YOU WILL WIN !

[carscantkillme]

This is not an issue. Norm pulled the ad. Paul Wellstone was a great guy, but that was a long time ago and we need to move on.

[Tylertrax]

"Not an issue, long time ago, need to move on" . Do these phrases ever apply to Democrats, or can they only be used in support of Republican positions? ex all the Clinton 'scandals'

[mandarose82]

Does anyone else not catch the fact that Franken isn't wearing the same clothes in this clip as in the Coleman attack ads??

Sneaky, sneaky.

[thedeets]

Franken told that story more than once. Norm realizes that he was a jerk by manipulating Franken's words. I hope you realize the same.

[ilalfisto]

The record shows that misleading ads are VERY effective.

The real "disgrace" belongs to a superficial and lazy electorate.

We get the leaders we deserve.

[amazingarthur]

That is so typical of the right! Go get 'em Al!

[chessdad3]

That is pathetic! Go Al!

[Bellafaith1475]

Norm-you called the wonderful late Senator Wellstone "the lowest common denominator". I thought a person could not go lower after such a baseless, callous remark but I have been proven wrong.  I direct the same question to you as was asked of disgraceful Senator Joseph McCarthy: Have you no shame, sir?

[Tbbk2]

Wow Stalin is still alive...

[VolleyBallGirl789]

Thats horrible! We do deserve better than that!

[turnsey]

I've got my hesitations about Al Franken's ability in the Senate, but if he can be half the Senator Paul Wellstone was, I'm all for him.

[Bellafaith1475]

You probably are aware that Al was a good friend of Paul's. They have many of the same ideals and he will do what is right. He is a brillant man, and his books are accurate (I did my own research) and laugh out loud funny. You can tell from his books that he vastly understands the issues and I believe 100% that he will fight for middle class Minnesotans.I am looking for a Paul Welstone type and IMO, Franken is as close as it gets. That's the highest compliment I could give of any candidate

[Centerman2k]

I don't live anywhere near Minnesota, but I've always liked Al Franken.

[astromantic]

Goodness, Norm Coleman should be absolutely ashamed. He needs to go.

[RandallFlaggNY]

Did Norm ever get that operation where his nose was attached to Dubya's an*s?

[MyrnaMinx1]

It's time we took back Wellstone's Senate seat from Coleman. Go AL!

[thevoiceofreason124]

Can someone tell me if this ad is actually being shown on tv in Minnesota? because it should. Very powerful and to be honest, quite embarassing to the Coleman campaign.

I live in New Jersey, so I don't see the political ads there. I've been a fan of Al Franken for a long time though, so eventhough I can't vote for him, I still support him! We need as many democrats as we can get in the Senate.

[Schell77]

LOL, that was brutally effective. No wonder Coleman had a "yom kippur epiphany".

[J3423]

So after running this terribly nasty campaign, now Coleman says he won't run any more negative ads. Probably because they aren't working, because people are seeing through the distortions and distrations. Franken's criticisms of Coleman have been based on his record of voting with Bush, not some irrelevant nonsense like Coleman's attack ads have been.

[brendanjered]

I saw this commercial last during during The Tonight show and thought it was wonderful! I really hope Al gets this heavily on the airwaves to really show Minnesotans how devious and dishonest Norm Coleman is. I think this ad could clinch the election for Al! At least I hope so!

[MishuTaste]

Okay...that was weird.

[MadissonAnn]

I don't like Al, my Senator will be someone that knows how to correctly pay his taxes, but this ad is awsome, way to put Norm Coleman in his place.

[ibexr88]

Get Norm Coleman out of there! Minnesota, we deserve better than this.

Al Franken '08!

[superc]

I love it!

[blackbart99]

Keep swingin' Al!

[billthebutcher2]

That's just low. Coleman has no shame whatsoever.

[liquidsky2007]

Go Al !!!!!!!!

[notsusan]

The fact they thought they could pull something like this against the guy who wrote "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them" is pretty funny.

I'm from PA, but if I could vote for Al Franken I absolutely would.

[NBachers]

Al Franken promotes and exposes the truth.

Norm Coleman lies and conceals the truth.

Al Franken deserves votes and support. Please contribute to Al's campaign.

[Toddo31]

I would LOVE to see Al Franken on the floor of the senate!!

[scottbaggins]

Norm Coleman is a disgusting person. It looks like he is following in Bush's footsteps!

[izitso87]

Exposing more lies from Norm and his RNC buddies!

[jgswallow]

Go Al. Minnesota deserves someone more like Wellstone and not like Bush. Coleman has to go. Good luck.

[IrnBru001]

I think this is your best ad so far. Get him Al!

[brotherlove142]

get this on the air

[Panpiper]

This is an ideal use of the web. Show up every lie told to make it utterly unambiguous. Inevitably of course, relatively few people will make the effort to do their research and actually view this video, but enough will. Word of mouth will spread the truth further.

[caitiedidit]

But hopefully they're running this in Minnesota? Or is it just a web ad?

[d3p3ch3mod3]

I thought this was going to be a televised ad? If not, it really needs to be because one of the things Al does best is just dig up straight up DAMNING examples of Karl Rove style propaganda.

[tpeabody1970]

Disgusting! Devious! Don'tcha know?! It's time for Norm to go!

[superc]

LIES LIES LIES! Norm is a DISGRACE!

[iamafractal]

Coleman and all his lies are going DOWN!
