Why does Franken bother with this freeper idiot?


The guy is an entrenched clueless dittohead. There is no point in trying to convert him. It's just a waste of time.

The guy will support Bush no matter what. Why bother. He's a full blown cult-member kool aid drinker...

2. I love it - it makes them sound so stupid for listening to Rush
and Al is just the best at it.

Makes Mark sound as much a moron as Bush.

3. Converting is not the object of the effort
But to display to others who the 'enemy' is, and how they express themselves.

I think that it is an important element of Al's show.

5. I totally agree. Exposing Rush and his following for what *it* is...
it important.

6. I just hate listening to those people..


It's like listening to a Manson family member trying to defend Charlie...

"But Charlie is all about LOOOOOOOVE!!!!..."

It's fucking sad. You can point out the lies and shove their face in lie after lie after lie and they will not acknowledge it. They just change the subject over and over...

11. Agred. Keep it up, Al! It also contrast and emphasizes Limba is AFRAID
to take on Informed Libs and Moderates.

4. I think it's an interesting debate
Lots of shows claim to have both sides (remember HANNITY and colmes?), but this guy is a real wingnut. You'd neve hear rush debate a real liberal democrat on his show like that. It's interesting to hear what they think, and without all surplus of ad hominems that accompany conservative arguments.

7. Shows the difference between Right wing propoganda radio and AA
Right Wing radio never allows opposing points of view to ber presented on an equal footing.

AA, by allowing right wingers to attempt to make their points, proves those points are arguable at best, and outright false at worst.

At least that's my take on it.

9. I think the important
thing about this segment is that it is a great example of how Ditto heads think (or don't) basically to me it's comes down to this:

Facts aren't as important as spin. My beliefs are true, because I know what I believe is right.

Sort of a Bu$h view of the world.

10. Hannity
Yesterday, a liberal called into Hannity and started making a few points.

Hannity got so frustrated with him he hung up.

:bounce:

12. I don't subscribe to the "if you ignore them, they'll go away"...
...anymore.

Because it doesn't work.

13. I think it's all about being fair and balanced.
Al's trying to demonstrate what it's like to be really fair and balanced as opposed to being Faux "fair and balanced."

14. i think it's a good idea
