5. I'm a loyal Franken listener, but...
isn't this about the first time he's been on the election fraud bandwagon?

Perhaps my memory is slipping, but he hasn't really been on board with a lot of the fraud talk.

14. No. But Randi (also on AAR) has been on the fraud issue
They specialize on AAR -- Randi is on election fraud, Al is on social security piratization (yes "piratization" - not "privatization" ) and Fox News and poking holes in windbag O'Reilly.

18. I'll buy that explanation.
That's a valid observation.

Although I prefer the whole "unified message" approach that the Repugs employ (mostly because it's effective) I guess there's more than one way to get the message out.

Either way, Al went to Iraq to visit and entertain troops and Randi served in the Air Force.

O'Lielly, Insannity, and Fatboy should STFU about us "lib-ruls" until they do.

6. Why start now?
For Franken to not even allow discussion of Election Fraud on his show is abhorrant. I'm disgusted with him. Let us disagree, but at least let us discuss it.

16. Better then Father Ward
Until KQKE picked up AAR and Jones (Ed Schultz) we were stuck with Ray Taliafero (good - but 1AM, come on) and pompous Berkeleyite Father Bernie Ward, OSF.

11. Part of the purpose of yesterday includes forcing the left to
start talking about voter suppression, fraud, computer hacking.

By making people like Franken who haven't wanted to talk about this defend the Reps & Senator Boxer against the idiocy of the right then we get more people to listen. We also make it more likely that Franken will talk about this issue in future.

It sucks. It really sucks that this is what we have to settle for right now. But we will keep pushing.

And Franken obviously still hasn't read Conyers' status report or Moss v. Bush -- nonetheless even Franken is ahead of some people who are listening who are learning something.

:grr:

12. Yes, a pathetic situation...
Having to FORCE the Dems to talk about the DOCUMENTED election fraud.

Unreal.

13. He's soft selling election reform. The long lines were a serious problem
but the preplanned FBI/terrorism lie to close the Warren County courthouse in order to count the votes in private speaks volumes about the kind of illegal bullshit Blackwell ordered.

17. Al Franken seems to take his cues from the DNC...
...and it was the DNC line that there were "irregularites" and racist vote suppression in Ohio but nothing to "change the outcome."

That's why the courageous Dems who spoke up yesterday were so limited in what they said. It was sanctioned talk. So is Franken's. (I tuned in today and heard him say that the 4,000 votes for Bush in a precinct with 600 voters was a "mistake" and these kinds of mistakes need to be rectified. Jeez. That's when I turned him off. Before that, I heard him calling BushCons on their whacko response, but they were easy pickin's, I must say. He's good at that. I've sometimes enjoyed his patient, folksy destruction of Repos. But his political line is very Dem establishment, and he is clueless on election fraud.)

I'm not dissing the Dems who stood up. Especially Conyers, Jones and Boxer. I think it took great courage to challenge any portion of this election, given BushCon thug government. And I suspect that even that was discouraged, though not forbidden, by Dem leadership.

To tell you the truth, I don't know what's going on, with Kerry conceding and all. I think we're in "Alice in Wonderland." Dems let BushCons get secret source code control of all vote tabulation, no paper trail. Take our money, life, energy, which we generously give to put Dems in the White House. They promise, promise, promise that, unlike '00, every vote will be counted. BushCons use the secret source code (obviously). Dems call it quits before the voting is over, and Kerry tootles off to Iraq, leaving raving, raging crowds of volunteers behind him, to fight for their right to vote without a leader.

Go figure. Are they suicidal? (I just don't think "corrupt" explains it.)
