Al Franken Thanks Blue Majority

[Goldclaw837]

Al Franken stole that election--I can't believe this marxist asshole is a senator in the US Senate--with Obama as President n Al Franken as a Senator--America is doomed!!

[TAz69x]

As opposed to the beautiful shape it's in now after Bush's last 8 years of rule?

Literally, the country has not been in this poor shape since the 30's. Even WWII-era and Soviet-era economic prosperity was abound; now, not only has the heavily overpriced and misdirected wars produced a dire result, US deaths are excessive, medicare in the US is crap, pharmacological medicine is far overpriced, Wall Street heavily unregulated, illegal wiretapping, reemergence of Taliban at worst level... etc. X'(

[ND300DSLR]

There are two types of people in this world the ones who bend over and the people who bend people over. Obama is the type who bend over for Nancy Pelosi takes it up the you know what He is a weak individual who cant stand up for his own country blaming the worlds problems on the US and Bush. (Hello Bush is now out of office stop the blame game)

[TAz69x]

So, if I set fire to a tree in a forest and walk away... will my influence still be felt after I left and the fire marshals come to survey and repair the damage?

Commander in Chief, is a position bearing a heavy responsibility and meaning. It simply doesn't substantiate a standing bearing to respond to distress and observations within a leadership role among the US's executive branch, but requires an active individual to construct policies and employ sound reasoning.

And yes; Cheney, Rove, etc.

[ND300DSLR]

Who the fuck voted for this ass clown?

[jspro100]

Do you even know what marxism is or is it just something you heard Bill O'Rielly say?

[PlastikBlakLawnJocky]

i cant stand norm coleman but the last thing we need is an acid-head from the old snl days like al franken. god american politics continues to fall to new lows that i thought were impossible

[alkh3myst]

Oh, so a B-movie actor who was in the early stages of Alzeimer's disease, serving two terms as President, while having seances on foreign policy decisions WASN'T the low point? BTW, congratulations, Senator Franken.

[PlastikBlakLawnJocky]

no reagan being in b movies and his wife having seances while her husband no longer controlled his second term w/ alzheimers wasnt the low point. all of his movies werent b btw, he was gov of california and his wife talking to the dead shows that his past career outweighed the bad. im neither dem or repub btw. but franken has only snl and a failed radio show for his past career after dropping acid with chase belushi akroyd etc. ive been there; anyone who drops acid isnt right tho seemingly norm

[alkh3myst]

Well. Looking at your channel, I see that you're yet another in that seemingly infinite and tiresome line of foreigners who are "experts" on US cultural and political affairs. Thank you for the lecture, Professor. One question though: Why do so many of you pretend to be US residents or citizens? You are so easily discovered. I suppose it's flattering that so many YouTubers find the United States fascinating. If you lived here though, many of you might revise your opinions.

[PlastikBlakLawnJocky]

uh, no. im born and raised american, i dont have to pretend anything. you need to stop pretending you can read people like you do because obviously youre bad at it. moron

[alkh3myst]

Oh, so Adamstown in the Pitcairn Islands (UK) is in the United States? Why don't you stop lying? You're just another YouTube phony.

[PlastikBlakLawnJocky]

oh come on, how much more lame can you get for an e-argument. for all you know i do live on pitcairn, that doesnt mean i couldnt be born and raised in the states. try again, moron

[HeartInSanFrancisco]

Go Al.... things are looking good next week [the election.]

[boppbuff]

FRANKENSTEIN

[internetsftw]

The JOKER he sounds like the joker!

[pijoe7752]

Just checking in AL. Remember when you were Sewart Smalley? You were funny...whiney, but funny. Now you're not funny anymore. Air America turned you into a namby pamby full time piss n moan. But I haven't forgotten the good old days Al. You should run for public office somewhere. I hear there's an opening for Mayor of Wasilla.

[stjdavis]

Can you imagine this quisling trying to be commander in cheif? Vladamir Putin would bend his ass over the oval office desk and show him how things are ran in Russia.

[jumpyfroglegs]

He is not running for president you illiterate.

[Flankoa]

Way to PULL EVEN and COME BACK in the senate race, Al! Someone who actually gives a crap about the average Minnesotan might actually kick Norm "I Needed Wellstone to die" Coleman out of office for good. I love it.

FRANKEN '08

[pijoe7752]

Just checking in...guess I'm the only one who cares about you anymore AL. I watched your Air America show when it was being proped up by Redford on Sundance for a while. I couldn't take my eyes off it...it was without a doubt the worst show, about any subject, in the history of television. You whined in that sing song voice and took forever to make a point. Now you are simply the most boring public figure in America. Debate Coulter again, she'll smack you around, but at least people will listen.

[pijoe7752]

I feel sorry for this pathetic neo-socialist weenie. He's running for senate ur congress or what...and posts this canned crap to all his loyal followers. He pulls 24K hits and 82 comments posted. Oh I forgot...he's the AIR AMERICA guy.

[jumpyfroglegs]

He has not worked for Air America for several years. Well, the truth never mattered to a Republican.

[jumpyfroglegs]

He has not worked for Air America for several years. Not that the truth matters to you.

[liberalsloveyou]

Al Franken r0cks my s0cks! Go, Al!

[fruticetum]

The problem for you, Al, is thankfully there are aren't enough far-left fringe lunatics for you to build a grass roots movement with. Very few Americans share your socialist views. Those who do, rarely have any money because they don't have real jobs. If you do send your welfare check to this assclown whose whole campaign is built on writing hate books about Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly. you might just as well flush your money down the fucking toilet. It will do more good there.

[Ralphdraw3]

Isn't Rush Limbaugh a Hypocrite, draft-dodger, Chickenhawk???

Divorced 3 Times - addicted to prescription drugs??

[fruticetum]

Rush isn't a draft-dodger, nor was he divorced three times, you fuckface.

[shakenotstired]

Franken will be Olbermann...when he grows up.

[playsetman]

al frankin lost his show because he lies so much-he is such a joke ,the democrats do not want him to run.change to socialism,no thanks

[element5435]

I don't know what you're talking about, but al always backs his statements with real facts. Not twisted bullshit like the bush administration.

[icemilk14]

I dont know what the debate is about so far- but Al has been relentless in his defense on all the smear machinery and forthright in his proposals- I trust him.

[oneguycoding]

forget about arguing with genpershing, he's a moron and makes sport out of attacking anyone who isn't a nazi party supporter.

[jregley]

Hope you get elected Mr. Franken. Let's repair the damage that the dominated whole Conservative Right has done to our country in the last 7 years.

06 was one step. 08 is the next.

[genpershing]

Al Franken: He's not good enough, he's not smart enough, and doggonit, I f*#king hate him.

[zereoue]

republican.

[genpershing]

Ow, what a stinging retort. I might never recover. Ow, ow, someone help me.

[jackdavid124]

You are attacking people. What you are saying is wrong. If you don't have a well reasoned opinion, stop posting.

[genpershing]

Well, no shit, dummy. What do you think this is, real life? "Reasoned opinion"? Are you joking? Libtards are MADE to be laughed at. Lookit Al, here. Not laughing with, laughing at. Another swelled-head Hollywood moron who thinks he can live my life better than I can. Well, fuck him, and fuck you too.

[putittogether]

I love the way you are suckered into petty political augments. It is just the way the political think tanks want you to react. Like a puppet, incapable of reasoned, objective, and thoughtful analyst of the issues at hand on a national and global level.

[thucy2]

puttit: I assume that comment was directed to me. I hardly think issues of war and peace, past and future, are petty. And I assure you I'm capable of "reasoned, objective, and thoughtful analysis."I was responding to Darth's challenge, that "Dems have always been wrong" about everything. Sweeping statements such as those are simply untrue. And why the insult (like a puppet)? 500ct. limit, and you spend half on personal attack? You can do better than that.

[putittogether]

thucy2, no it was directed at everyone watching.

[thucy2]

Darth your view of history is so skewed and unbalanced it would take pages to correct all your mistakes. Here's another quick one "wrong on the Shaw" (you mean the Shah?) It was a Repub. administration that overthrew the democratic government of Iran in the 1950s, putting the Shah in power and fueling radical Islam. It's called "blowback"-just like how supporting bin Laden (under Reagan) has come back to bite us.

[thucy2]

It was the Civil Rights Act of 1964, not 63, pushed through Congress and signed by a liberal Dem. president. The southern Dems most opposed switched parties-Strom Thurmond, for instance. The southern Dem (Dixiecrat) Party of the 1940s, 50s has become the southern Repub Party of today. Or did you miss Trent Lott's stirring speech about how Strom Thurmond should have been president in 1948?

[thucy2]

Since when do loyal Bushies GAF about the UN? So you're pro-Serbia, is that it? Pro-Milosovic? Clinton with NATO won the Kosovo War without a single US combat fatality, while Repubs called it "Clinton's War" and, by your lights, refused to support the troops. "Occupying troops of Europe?" You think the USA is "occupying" Europe? Pretty bizarre picture of reality.

[thucy2]

Before WWII liberal Dem FDR warned the nation that Hitler's Germany was a menace. Isolationist Republicans thought otherwise. FDR, with a Dem Congress, defeated Hitler, Tojo, Mussilini in less time than Bush has been in Iraq. Repubs opposed the "Germany First" stategy for military victory. Dems were right on Marshall Plan, right on containment, right on Social Security.

[ruonetoo]

Without seeming to be too flippant, why not go back to the 1930's & 40's to live? This is today. And there are some similarities and some differences. One big difference, and something you can help change, is that Americans (by and large) don't understand Jihad. Read Sayyed Qutb's "Milestones." It's free online.

[thucy2]

ruon:I don't think you've been following the discussion. I brought up all this history because "Darth" dared anyone to come up with a single instance in human history when Dems have been right about anything. I came up with a half dozen or so, and as you can see he's been silent ever since. I think anyone who takes the position that all Dems (or Repubs) are wrong or evil is an ideologue.And I'll check out "Milestones" when I get the chance.

[ruonetoo]

thucy2, you have my respect!

"Indeed, what is most worrying about "Milestones" is the similarity of Qutb's thought to fascist and Marxist ideas. Whilst clothed in Islamic idiom, they actually seem to represent an invasion of Islam by extreme secular modern philosophies.

Utopia will be ushered in by force. The old system is so degenerate it cannot be reformed and must be totally swept away. The new can only be established on the ruins of the old - This is radical revolutionary theory."

[thucy2]

Ok I believe you Hugh. But somebody obviously didn't appreciate our conversation, and went through it all with a spam hammer.

[hotspur666]

Yesss, we put it togheter...your "free world" murdered 100 million people in "YOUR" socialist Gulags worldwide. Allied with conquering Islam, the socialists want us all back to the stone age with a thousand little Stalins eslaving humanity. Just look at any muslim ruled nightmare countries. Protesters are machine gunned, just like with the socialists. Mind you, when the Jihadists take power, the socialists degenerates are the first executed... MAKE THE WORLD CLEANER, KILL A HIPPIE FOR JESUS

[putittogether]

They mock you on TV news, with the reporting on a Daily basis the lies of our servants and government as truths wholly unchallenged.

[putittogether]

Democrats and Republicans both have supported CONSTANT war since 1954 by MAJORITY VOTE in both the senate and congress. It just happened again with the democratic MAJORITY. Get a clue people. They mock you, they mock your silly notions of freedom, and your understanding of national politics. They mock you with a fixed two party system of "democracy" laughed at by the free world.

[hotspur666]

Snafu, shut the fuck up, you hippie scab on

satan's ass...Giap bragged of murdering

50,000 innocent folks the day after we left,

all thank to vomitbags like YOU!!!

[g587802]

I think we all agree that "DarthProphet" is an idiot. Seriously, most democrats wouldn't imply that Republican's or any other group involving millions of hard working generally good people have "never been right in history" We reserve judgment until one of them says something preposterous, then we call them on it. Like "DarthProphet, or lets face it George Bush.

[ruonetoo]

You are ignorant of what President G. W. Bush has done to safeguard freedom and liberty here and in the world. Otherwise, I'd call you an ingrate. You have NO IDEA how much you owe him. God Bless Our President!

[g587802]

You are correct, I have no idea. I've analyzed all available information, and I've come to the considered conclusion that George Bush has done nothing for my security. Our own intelligence analysts say that we are less safe. They have come to the same conclusion as I, and they have more information. Since it's unlikely that you have more information, but you've reached a different conclusion you must have a creative way of processing information. Please do tell.

[ruonetoo]

Israel thought Saddam had WMD's. 1 Airburst over Tel Aviv and Israel is a cinder. They had to pre-emptively attack Iraq, a MUSLIM nation. A Fatwa would be issued and Israel might've had to go nuclear. Hello global nuclear Holy War.

GWB prevented that. Thank your lucky stars it's ONLY Iraq. Unless you think you'd escape the effects of global nuclear WW4.

[g587802]

Sorry, there are no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. So you point, that we've averted a WW4 seems erroneous.  I would agree that we might start WW4 if we attack Iran and pressure builds for Oil - which is one of the real reason's we are there.

[ruonetoo]

Reasonable belief of a threat is all that's needed to acquit someone of murder charges. None could say with any certainty that Iraq had no WMD's. What matters isn't that none were found, only that it was reasonably believed he had them.

If we'd done nothing and Israel attacked Saddam and started a global Holy War you'd be ok with that, I presume.

[ruonetoo]

What mattered was what could or couldn't be proved AT THE TIME. We couldn't prove with 100% certainty that Iraq didn't have WMD's. And that meant there was a possibility that Israel might have been destroyed. That risk was unacceptable to the Israelis. That meant they would have struck Iraq first and that would have been a Jihadist's greatest dream, to be given a reason for Holy War.

[thucy2]

g58: either there are a few trolls with multiple user names churning through these threads, or folks like TylerNull, Videosludge, Darth etc. all visit the same weird websites and repeat the same weird misspellings and mistakes. "Shaw" for "Shah", "Veitnam" for "Vietnam" etc. Even saying the Civil Rights Act was passed in '63 (instead of '64). "Right wing echo chamber" indeed.

[mosqboy]

From AmericanManifesto's youtube site:

"Liberals only belief system is to reject any traditional values. And in order to do so, they reject all reason and logic. I mean, we all know Liberals are wrong point for point on every issue no matter what, but the sad thing is, the Liberals know they are wrong. They only live to hinder what has kept this country great and the values of the majority of it's citizens. Liberals believe Christianity is pure evil, but they defend Islam."

[ruonetoo]

Let's see, who would be tougher on Jihadists and present them more problems in their quest for global domination and mastery of mankind? Democrats. So who do the Liberals of America root for? Democrats.

And you wonder why we call you traitorous? You have to understand what Islam wants, terrorists and non terrorists: World conquest by violent AND non violent means. Til you get that right you haven't a chance.

[ruonetoo]

Sorry, meant to say, "Who would be EASIER on Jihadists." Sorry for any confusion.

[TheAmericanManifesto]

I hope this election carries on. It is SO amusing to see this Whore Al franken actually think he has a chance. OMG, what a clown. Who wants to make a bet, huh, I will bet anyone this Cunt will lose. We don't need an idealogue in the senate.

[ShiekYerbooty]

you're welcome, now represent the people and don't turn into a corporate globablist shill

[audacity4u]

God I wish we had an Al Franken here in neocon FL06. Hell, I wish we had a whole Congress full of guys like him. To people of all color and stripes,vote smart. No more theocon ideologues. Please MN, send Al to the Senate

[xenomorph42]

God, help us all, the end is near.

[RobertKlayton]

Wouldn't this be a great nation if Al Franken was leading it. I tend to think we need to elect all the Hollywood celebrities and comedians to run this nation since they seem best to know what we need. You just can't buy insight like that nowadays. Al Franken and Jon Stewart as VP. Movies and music would be free and we'd have the panacea we all have wished for. How did they get so smart?

[waylayeh]

haahaah...out of material....hahh...

[souljaEXVOTO]

you are THE MAN Stuart Smalley! We just love you and know that you..... .... are special.

[putittogether]

The value of the dollar has dropped EVERY FUCKING year for 100 years. Why? dont ask you will just get sick.

[MarquisdeBarrabas]

Back it up or shut it up.

[putittogether]

MarquisdeBarrabas--Are you stupid or something?

[putittogether]

A "fixed two party system" that actively, and openly subverts the US Constitution and the representative form of government. They will NEVER allow real change by the people...My proof...the last 100 years. No third party has been allowed to challenge the FIXED voting districts by the criminals. When there is NO CHOICE we ALL lose. These CRIMINAL organizations have bulled the people far to long.

[Maxwedge12000]

Fuck these liberal loons.

[MadBadVoodo]

LOL!!!

[putittogether]

40%+ of G.D.P. goes to the government's (fed, state, local) when is it to high? Is not 40% + socialism at that point? Because I missed that part in the U.S. Constitution. Does not anyone remember 11th grade social studies? I am pretty sure that big government is bad and small government is good for ANY country. Am I wrong? Was the founding fathers wrong? Were our grandfathers and great grandfathers wrong? Or are you wrong?

[MarquisdeBarrabas]

Back up your numbers (with verifiable, trustworthy sources) or shut the fuck up.

Oh, and America's Founding Fathers hated the "guv'mint" so much many of them ended up working for the Federal Government. Now, how about that?

[putittogether]

MarquisdeBarrabas-- You asked for sources-

As for the dollar and it value, it is called inflation, it is the result of a fiat currency system. Pretty simple to look up.

As for tax's and the G.D.P. the net result of inflation + all tax's = about 40%. Just take a moment to google it.

[jeffc3888]

hughster, you racist imbred pedophile!!! i've read about you on the net. go "look it up yourself"

i can get use to this...slinging accusations without facts.

[bbburton]

Please, tell everyone what the progressive agenda is. Also, what would a progressive accomplish in congress. Thank you.

[KURTHUNT]

He was joking you idiot. But I, on the other hand, am not. Lying to Congress, the UN and the American people about something as serious as the rationale for war is about as serious a crime as I can think of. If we don't execute these guys for that, then there should be no capital punishement at all.

[thucy2]

Looks like Hughster has decided to end this little debate by marking everything as "spam." Just to recap: Hughster (a loyal Bushie) makes a wild charge against Franken, I ask him to back this up, he can't and marks everything "spam." Is this typical, or what?

[jeffc3888]

thucy just bitchslapped hughster!!!lol...

[thucy2]

"It's on the net..." What a lame response! This means, I take it, that you just made something up and now can't find anything to back up your claim. Typical.

[RBLA818]

Sounds like hughster41 is just a Bullshitting Huckster!

You picked a bad subject Huckster! We can quote hundreds of Right Wing Hate speeches, but you're having trouble proving the one B.S. you came up with!

[thucy2]

Franken has been to Iraq and Afghanistan several times to entertain the troops. Your lame remark does nothing to change that.

As for "liberalism=" I take it this means you don't actually have anything to support your allegations. Just as I thought. More mindless sloganeering from a loyal Bushie. What a surprise.

[RBLA818]

Go Al Go!!!!

[thucy2]

Oh, and also, please give examples of Frank's "communism." Al Franken has gone to Iraq and Afghanistan to entertain the troops. You're saying the US military let a hate-filled Communist into a war zone? You might want to notify the Pentagon about this.

[thucy2]

Franken called for the execution of Rove, Libby and Bush? Please give me the name of this video, so I can watch for myself.

[shaire99]

No that would be 5 time deferment seeker CHICKHAWK CHENEY who actually said of his draft dodging, "I had other priorities in the 60's".

Gee what a hero!

[thucy2]

"the most hate filled commie..." Please back this up with examples of Franken's hate-filled communism.

[artleigh]

Try again you fascit mother fucker. Just stick to Fox news like a good nazi

[BUDDAWG2004]

stewart smalley in 08, tards

[bt071971]

that's about the most honest candidate video I've seen all year. Go Al... Go Minnesota.

[scarletsneakers]

You go, Al ~ it's all about the roots!

[scarletsneakers]

You go, Al ~ it's all about the roots!

[Anais2]

Yay, a Dem in Congress who won't back down! It's about time!
