Al Franken Jokes about Al Queda Killing Bush

[5jerry1]

Let someone on the right say that about B. Obama, and see how long before the Secret Service is at their door.

[knixphan]

OOPS! Al won!

[DefendGlenn]

Actually, this ad DID defeat Al Franken, due to the fact that the investigation of ACORN and ex-con "votes" showed that Norm coleman won the election by 537 votes. Yet the fraudulent result was NOT overturned. Just as it was not overturned 6 years ago in Washington State, after it was shown that Dino Rossi beat Christine Gregoire by over 1,800 votes after it was discovered that ACORN workers had falsified balots in 16 Democrat-majority district machines. Why aren't these frauds overturned?

[valleyboy987]

Have a sense of humour you tossers

[ClumsyRoot]

"Almost certain defeat," eh? :)

[chantervz]

I thought it was funny. GWB disgraced our country worse than any president in history. We don't even know the context of their conversation and joke...and it doesn't matter anyways. Freedom of speech about a politician/celebrity...one that took our country down the toilet. It's not wrong to joke about him.

[jays2474]

Could you emagine if a republican made a joke about a democratic president like this.You fucking liberals lol.You are hypocritical scum.

[lawlcoaster]

@jays2474

[lawlcoaster]

@jays2474

lol, I think it's just as funny when I pretend he's talking about Obama. I don't think the president at the time was really what made the joke funny.

Jokes are jokes, they aren't meant to be taken seriously. If it's funny, I'll laugh.

[jays2474]

@lawlcoaster I dont have a problem with that at all.If your a liberal law your the exception because the left are hypocritical when it comes to these things.I hear what your saying and I agee with you

[MrNokha]

Senator Franken has already done a lot of good for the American people.

When will people learn that Iraq was about business contracts with no taxes and making money. American soldiers are dying so that we can erect starbucks and mcdonalds in Baghdad.

[StupidExtravert]

What specifically has he done? You said he has already done a lot of good. For example? I'm from Mn, and during the debates, Al Franken reminded me of Ricky Gervais from the Office. He gets asked specific questions, and his answers were always something like "Streamlining, Efficiency, Productivity(that's corporate talk, you hate that, right?). Dean Barkley (independent) could actually list specifics on the issues, and would answer follow-up questions in detail, unlike the dems and reps.

[jpeditor]

you're an idiot. Go pick up your check from the terrorists.

Here's a hot tip - MUSLIMS are killing more muslims than Americans are.

[MrNokha]

Ah. Funny. Fuck bush.

[jpeditor]

No. Not Funny. Fuck you. Here we go:

"to my terrorist friends, the way to get to Mr Nokha is to go through the kitchen".

IS THAT OK WITH YOU, MORON? Or are you to stupid to understand that is what Franken said about Bush?

[jpeditor]

So if someone does this skit about Obozo, every lib here will defend it as comedy, right?

[kcflood]

love him!

[timburns116]

And, yet, he wasn't...unless Minnesotans are wrong for Minnesota.

You I caught that hysterical movie American Carol and it shocks me that conservatives just don't understand what funny is. I mean, trace adkins = funny

Al Franken = not so much

Hold on, that's more of "fuzzy math."

Cons = wrong for America

[FalconOfStorms]

By your specious attempt at logic, George W, Bush was right for America.

[twochordcool]

AALL FFRRAANNKKEENN!!

FUCK YEAH!

[vegodsky]

Actually I thought that was pretty funny. It's a joke, so take it as a joke, he's not actually suggesting to kill the president or have al queda kill the president

[jbrooksben]

that was fucking funny! thanks for posting.

[FreepShop]

This ad defeated Al Franken. It got 10,000 views and ran in Minneapolis. Franken was up 4% in the polls before this ad came out. Now he is facign almost certain defeat.

Hey Al...you've been FREEPED!

[bulletstopper636]

If this is what got him defeated then the people in Minnesota are idiots......I mean really. They would have to be total morons.

[vooshi]

Yes!

[lipolope]

i looove this gut hes so fuckin funny looooool makes me wanna vote now,

[Nukeman33]

Franken is hilarious!

[clemtoe]

the last eight years have been one long lurid stroke fantacy about assasinating the president for the left.

oddly enough, it looks like that will continue even if obama wins. as much as they hate people who disagree with them, they love even more the mantle of martyrdom.

it doesn't even matter if it's one of theirs' who does it. jfk was assasinated by a marxist, but they go on about it as if some rightwinger did it.

[DonLusher]

"jfk was assasinated by a marxist" - really? who was that then?

[clemtoe]

uh, lee harvey oswald. i don't want to go down the rabbit hole with some deranged conspiracy nut.

[DonLusher]

It's highly unlikely that Oswald killed JFK.

However I don't believe in the 9/11 conspiracy theories, or (sadly) Father Christmas.

Anyone having what you describe as a "lurid stroke fantacy" about assassinating Bush was surely stupid as well as mean-spirited. Cheney and Rumsfeld (seller of arms to Saddam) weren't about to stop the killing middle-east.

[clemtoe]

then certainly most progressives are stupid and meanspirited. the phenomenon was widespread enough that it manifested itself as a feature-length film.

as i said, i don't want to go down the rabbit hole with you. just one challenge on facts: identify and quantify the "arms" cheney and rumsfeld sold to saddam.

[DonLusher]

As special enviy to Reagan Rumsfeld met Saddam to secure better trade relations & support Iraq in their offensive vs. Iran.

Already US-Iraqi trade included anthrax, biological agents useful in chemical weapons (which the US administration knew Iraq was using)and cluster bombs via a company in Chile run by the CIA. Whilst Rumsfeld may not have personally sold the arms, he was encouraging Saddam to buy them from US companies.

Please note I did not claim Cheney sold arms.

[clemtoe]

you can't even distinguich between chemical and biological weapons - niether of which were supplied to saddam by the u.s..

"trade" as you know, consisted of the iraqi health ministry purchasing study samples of some dissease strains from a private lab in the u.s.. this is what the entire "we armed saddam" propaganda lie/conspiracy theory is spun from, and it essentially amounts to claiming that we "armed" saddam with dissecting frogs.

[clemtoe]

but then you back off from stating this directly, and instead obliquely reference some secret transaction "via a company i n Chile run by the CIA" and that's the sort of cloud coocooland horseshit i was talking about when i said i have no interest in going down the rabbit hole with a deranged conspiracy nut who thinks the kennedy assasination remains an unresolved question.

[DonLusher]

Not cloud cuckooland- anyone with any knowledge of Chile's recent history should not be surprised by the CIA's use of that country. In between countries or agents are regularly used in all manner of dodgy deals. You seem to have a thing about rabbit-holes.

[DonLusher]

I actually said "biological agents useful in chemical weapons". This is not a conspiracy theory- more chemicals, subsidies and possibly helicopters were supplied under Bush senior in 1988. This is why Saddam's trial could not go into the gassing of the Kurds as it would have been too embarassing for the US administration.

I've never heard of your story about the health ministry- sounds like the ravings of a deranged nut in a rabbit-hole to me.

[DonLusher]

just checked this out properly- i see what u mean about a rabbithole. maybe he did do it but there's plenty of fishy business with the CIA SAS not disclosing... best left alone, huh?

[GradStud28]

Come on . . . do you really think this will incite some crazy, radical, left-wing sign language interpreter to break into a White House press conference, position himself in the lower righthand corner of the screen and begin signing the Achilles heel of White House security to our enemies?

[GradStud28]

This may not have been a very good joke (made in private between two people). But I really do think this is different than if Franken had suggested that the guy sign "Hey, deaf Americans, why don't you go get a gun and kill the president" - that would have been *horrible* because it *could* be acted upon. The scenario he actually puts forth couldn't.

[ToddonCapeCod]

I taught my daughter a valuable lesson about Obama tonight: I took 3/4 of her Halloween candy and gave some to her neighbor, who didn't even go out trick or treating.

And I didn't even tell her that it was from my daughter!

It was spreading her hard-earned, hard-worked-for wealth around.

That's the same way it will be under a president Barack Obama

[ronpaul2020]

There are some other things you can do. You can get your friends to mock her when she tries to make a point with you. You know, personal attacks...real mean ones with plenty of name calling.

Next, if she back-talks you or says you are unfair, call her selfish. Then ban her from entering the living room of your home.

Finally, if she mentions that she worked hard and deserves all the candy...you can tell her that she's being racist.

Keith Olberman will put her on the worst person segment.

[ToddonCapeCod]

Yep.

Sounds like the typical way liberals respond to people who disagree with them!

Thanks

[AirborneIdentity]

I'm a Republican but McCain is erratic and frankly not reassuring as a president. If he governs like he campaigns, it would only hurt our country and continue to neglect our middle class and young people, the future of America.

We need a type of politics and leadership that gives us hope and uplift in this economic recession.

I proudly endorse Obama for President. He has the intellect and temperament to lead this nation and, with our help, change the world.

BELIEVE!

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008

[ToddonCapeCod]

That's odd.

I'm a Democrat, proudly endorsing McCain.

Times are too dangerous and too tedious to have a man who doesn't know his own ass from hole in the wall, for president.

He didn't even know what to do during the Fannie Freddie bailout; refused to call on Dems to give their support. Too interested in campaigning. His own running mate thinks we'll face some international ciris, but Barack won't know what to do!

That's not leadership; that's bull crap!

[ynot4tony2]

Nice try, lefty, but it's obvious you're not a Republican. We don't get fooled by "I'm a Republican but here are a bunch of typical left-wing talking points" bit.

[AirborneIdentity]

I don't know what you're talking about.

[Cattttt]

Airborne, that "I'm a Republican but M is erratic" is in the astroturfing moby hall of fame. No one believes a person is being genuine when they quote memes like that. Pull the other leg.

[AirborneIdentity]

Well I spam hundreds of videos with similar messages, so you will not stop me.

[Cattttt]

Airborne, go right ahead and spam videos with memes that everyone recognizes as astroturfing moby bull - it's useless, and you're wasting your time. Feel free.

[AirborneIdentity]

That's cool, I think I am making a difference.

All that matters is that we all vote!

[ronpaul2020]

Why do you look like a muslim terrorist? I bet you must get dirty looks when you fly. Have you given up flying yet? If not, I'll bet you dread going to the airport.

Hint: Stop chanting "allahu akbar" before going onboard if you want less hassle.

[AirborneIdentity]

LOL, whenever I fly I always make sure not to shave. I've never been pulled out of line or given extra screening, usually some old white woman is taken out of line. I laugh at them. When I get on the plane, I make threatening gestures at the passengers. It is hilarious to scare the easily spooked and paranoid Americans.

[GradStud28]

It's quite clear that although you have set the context, you don't look at what Franken is saying in that context. He's right, it would be a "funny, stupid thing" for the interpreter to do. But it's neither a threat, nor a suggestion that anyone harm the president, nor a suggestion that President Bush's sign language interpreter should release classified information to a terrorist organization - no one could actually act on the farcical suggestion. Franken will do a fine job as our senator.

[ynot4tony2]

No kidding it's a joke, genius...but some things you just don't joke about. If Obama is elected, I would never joke about how it would be "funny" or "neat" to aid our enemies in killing him.

I guess I'm just a better person than both you and Al Franken...but that doesn't say much now, does it?

[ProudOregonian]

Shows just how lame the man is. If we joke about box cutters or liquid explosives or anything at an airport or on a plane we're escorted off by security. Franken has no respect for his country...or Minnesota.  Citizens/voters should reject him!

Not that's a smart idea.

[AirborneIdentity]

Lighten up, it's called a joke.

[ronpaul2020]

Someone should fucking blow Obama's head off.

Don't like it? Oh yeah: lighten up, it's called a joke.

Now get the fuck outta here, fag.

[AirborneIdentity]

I have reported your comment to the FBI, Secret Service and Antioch, CA authorities.

[ronpaul2020]

Very hypocritical of you, I may say. Joking about having Al Qaeda killing Bush is "a joke" but my "Someone should blow Obama's head off" is a reportable crime? Haha. You're a stooge. Anyone with a shred of intelligence knows I'm making the argument that it isn't a joke, or at least a very funny one.

By the way, I'm in Antioch, Illinois not California. You look like a terrorist so I'm sure you really don't want the attention anyway.

[BadChickenRoosting]

Lighten up? All fun and games till someone takes it seriously.
