Stop talking about Franken's book

[Fixated]

Every two days someone posts a thread about Franken's book as if they just heard about it. Damnit, we all have it. It's a great book. Buy it and be silent.

1. then again perhaps some people have not heard about it...

and they need to hear about it. Franken deserves to be rewarded for writing that book.

3. .....

That's why there is an ad on the friggin' DU homepage. If you don't know about it, I don't see how you can be following politics at all...

2. Can I start a thread every two days too?

I will tell people to quit mentioning Franken's book too!

Some people don't post, read every day. By the time they do, the discussion is long gone down the whole. Humor them. :)

4. Stop reading the threads

It's real easy.

5. Al Franken wrote a book? What is the name of it?

:P

9. "I f*cking hate those right-wing motherf*ckers" is the title......

of his next book (jokingly said within "Lies and the lying liars who tell them: A fair and balanced look at the right").

6. Not everybody HAs the book! I am sure there are those who

either haven't been able to get it at the library yet, or who perhaps cannot afford to buy it. Your assumptions suck. The point of my thread about the book, was to tell those Du'ers who haven't gotten the book yet, my thoughts on it, and hopefully encourage them to get it and read it. I also enjoy comparing notes on the book and see what others thought of it. What the hell is your problem?

:grr:

8. I enjoyed your post Flying_Pig

I have the book but have not read it as of yet.

13. I love that Flyingpig, Flying_pig

Maybe I should have put some thought into my screen name :hippie:

7. Who cares.....

Don't read it if you are tired of it. Yet, you are the one now posting a Franken thread.

[Renew Deal]

10. It's a great book and all 30,000+ DUers should read it.

[Fixated]

11. .....

See, people, it's not the mere mention of it that irks me, it's the tone of the posts. It's like someone coming up every week like "Hey, has anyone looked at this Wesley Clark guy? SOLID!"

[virtualobserver]

12. You are just mad because Ann Coulter.......

is "friendly" with Al Franken.

[Renew Deal]

14. I heard they were

intimate. :loveya:

[virtualobserver]

16. yes, Al was cordial.......

which of course meant multiple orgasms for Ann.

[Oracle]

15. So, it's nice some are just discovering it...

Better late!

Shit, "Stupid White Men" was on the lists for over a year (and some are still just discovering it.)

Let them enjoy and celebrate.

17. I posted about Franken kicking Ann's ass on KMOX does that count?

18. What's this compulsion to CONTROL others?

Nobody's forces anybody to come to DU in the first place, nor to read EVERY thread, every day when they come here.

I doubt anybody could read EVERYTHING posted here, even if they WANTED to, so why on earth do read things that bother them and then feel they have the right to PREVENT others from posting and/or reading anything that bothers them ???

20. Pffffffffffffffffft!

You can't handle the truth!

[TreasonousBastard]

23. What book?

Franken wrote a book?

[VermontDem2004]

24. "Buy it and be silent"

First of all what is your problem with Franken threads? I see a thread on one subject every two days especially in the General Discussion forum. Plus, I never read it and I like to read user reviews time to time and who cares what they post. You have about 30 different discussions going on at Page (1), pick a discussion you might be interested in and go there, if you don't like one, don't go there.

25. Franken says "Call them on their lies" - so don't be silent
