By Michael B. Brodkorb | March 27, 2007
Al Franken is one angry guy:
"Michael Smerconish: 'Yeah, Al sounds a little exhausted to me this morning.'
AL Franken: 'It's 4:11AM! It's four in the morning here….Screw you! I got up at four in the morning.'" Source: Newsbusters, March 31, 2006

You know, to really know if he is angry, you would need to hear the tone of voice he used.
I say, fuck you, screw you, go to hell all day long and it doesnt make me angry, you can definitely give a big fuck you in a funny, pleasant way if its to your friends and people you know.

Why do liberals ALL seem to have dirty mouths and dirty minds?
Educated people don’t go around using words like that because 1) it’s not necessary, 2) their education allows them to use better words and 3) they have more self-respect.

Not a Franken fan, but this whole Angry Franken stuff is getting old. Andrew is correct how do we know how these words were delievered? Were the two men laughing and joking as they said this?

Phht. Anyone who has to get up at 4:00 is given a free pass on snarkiness until noon. I thought that was a universally accepted rule.

Have to agree with the posters above. Don’t like crazy Al, but I say things like “screw you” all the time. Saying that in this situation (thanks Michael for giving the whole story) doesn’t seem that out of line.
Michael, a better thread would be on Amy K’s goofy global warming rant. You must find audio of it. I think it was Laura Ingram who played it.

Andrew,
Al wasn’t joking! The video of this incident was a testament to Al’s autocratic dream world where his head is still in bed and not so much a testament to his anger. He probably dreamed that night that noone disagreed with his views and everyone followed his directions. Then he wakes up and is sorrounded by hostility. If you ever have a chance to see the video do …

but this whole Angry Franken stuff is getting old.
This whole defending Angry Al for his anger is what is getting old.
The guy is clearly an angry guy who hates anything resembling anything to the right of his brand of leftism. Defending that demonstrates nothing but desperation.

Let’s reelect Norm so he can represent Israel in the US Senate for another 6 years. That should give Norm and the crowd over at the Sabes Jewish Community Center ample time to cook up a war with Iran.

Chuck,
Every once in awhile we hear about Nazi war criminals who escaped Germany after WWII that show up alive and under an assumed name. Given your comments about Israel and Jews, I think you might be one of those Nazis who’s turned up in Minnesota. You better be careful or someone might turn you in.
March 28th, 2007 at 1:11 PM
You know how badly the truth hurts when the traitors in our midst start pulling out the Nazi/anti-semite canard.
Let’s turn the FBI loose on all you traitors and see how many of you end up next to Jonathan Pollard.

Hey Chuck,
You have the audacity to call me a traitor? All I can say is go get f*cked, you Nazi imbecile.
March 28th, 2007 at 3:48 PM
Christ specializes in vulgarity…just like Al Franken.
Let me guess, they’re both members of the same tribe…the traitor tribe.
March 28th, 2007 at 4:26 PM
Chuck,
You are a traitor to the memory of the 405,000 brave U.S. soldiers who died fighting the Nazis in WWII. How dare you question anyone’s patriotism when you are a Nazi imbecile.
March 28th, 2007 at 8:15 PM
Bah, dont call people Nazis because they are educated about the immense amount of human rights attrocities that Israel committs all the time. Bull dozing people’s houses, stealing people’s land, beating them, raping them, killing them, not allowing them to travel freely in land that belongs to them, building walls to confine them.
Israel is an abomination of a country that defies UN orders to free the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Every human rights group will tell you Israel is one of the perpetrators of human rights law yet the US goes on funding them and ignorant Americans allow it because they only see Palestinians blowing themselves on buses and never hear about what Israel did to aggrivate these bombers.
(Not saying suicide bombing is morally permissible or okay to do, I am simply pointing out that they are a response to the evil actions of Israel thus making them retaliatory and out of defense, not offense, they are still wrong to do however.)
March 28th, 2007 at 10:22 PM
Andrew,
You are a terrorist appeaser. Do you honestly think that if Israel wasn’t a target for bombings every day of the week that they would be occupying land? By the way, the land that is considered by some as occupied was won by Israel in one of the many wars waged against the country since its foundation. I suppose next you will be saying that America had it coming on 9/11. You people on the far left are really something. I hope every Jewish American reads your comments and runs as far away from the Democrat party as they can get. Democrats are the party of anti-Semites.

Good points, Andrew. Interesting article, Chuck.
I think we’d all be better off if we knew more about AIPAC and their influence.
March 29th, 2007 at 9:47 AM
Brian,
No, they aren’t good points. The state of Israel was created in 1948 after some six million Jews were gassed in Nazi Germany. Immediately after Israel was created as a state, Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Jordan and Lebanon declared war. Israel gained territory after the ceasefire was declared. In 1967, Israel was attacked again by its Arab neighbors in the six day war. Israel won a decisive military victory. Between 1968 and 1972 there were more attacks against Israel, but no full scale war. In 1973, Egypt and Syria launched a surprise attack against Israel during Yom Kippur.
Since the official wars against Israel from 1948-73, Israel has been the victim of hundreds of terrorist attacks. Between firing rockets filled with explosives and shrapenal and Palestinians strapping explosive vests to blow themselves up and kill innocent Israelis — including children.
Israel has made several attempts to negotiate peace with the Palestinians. Including in 2000, when then Prime Minister Barak offered to withdraw from 73% of the West Bank and 100% of the Gaza Strip to give the Palestinian people an official state. The withdrawals from Gaza would continue until the Palestinians had 94% of the West Bank territory. In 2000, Israel also withdrew unilateraly from Lebanon. Despite concessions by Israel, Arafat declined to negotiate peace and another intifadah (terrorist uprising) ensued.
Since the death of Arafat, Israel has attempted to negotiate with the Palestinians. The Palestinian government, controlled by the terrorist group Hamas, has refused any negotiations as well as even recognizing the state of Israel and its right to exist.
The problem with you people on the left is that you hate Israel. You’d be more than happy to see Israel wiped off the map. It’s really sad to see the state of the modern Democratic party, which stands up for the thug regimes around the world.
March 29th, 2007 at 10:35 AM
Chris, do you only have an Israeli citizenship, or do you hold both American and Israeli citizenships?
You sure don’t act like an American. Most Americans hate the idea of young American boys going off to die in far away lands. Your tribe insists upon it, thens call the rest of us Nazis. By the way Chris, I actually have a son on active duty. There probably isn’t a single person over at the entire Sabes Jewish Center who can truthfully say the same.
Why don’t you move to the Apartheid state which you support and let those of us who understand that America is NOT “defined by our committment to Israel” live in peace. Your story about how the Palestineans have refused to negotiate is a complete lie.
March 29th, 2007 at 11:03 AM
Chuck,
I’m sorry that you are so filled with hate that you’re ignorant of history. How can you say that the Palestinians haven’t refused to negotiate when Israel offered them a Palestinian state in 2000 and they turned it down. Using words like “your tribe” shows how anti-Semetic you are. Unfortunately for the modern Democratic party, your anti-Semetism is the majority view in the Democrat party today. As I said before, you’re probably part of the Democrat party who thinks America was attacked by Israel on 9/11.
I honor your son’s service to our country. He is serving overseas to protect America’s national security interests. And for your information, I am not Jewish. But I believe in freedom and I know that there are people, probably including you, who want to see Israel destroyed just as there are people who want to see the destruction of America.
March 29th, 2007 at 1:12 PM
Chris, not wanting to sacrifice American soldieres doesn’t make me a hater of Israel and you know it. Also, I used to be a straight ticket Republican voter before the Republican Party(prior to its current and understandable demise) sold itself to AIPAC. Does the Mossad pay you or do you perform your namecalling routine on a volunteer basis?
By the way, since you’re such a big promoter of wars benefiting Israel, why haven’t you enlisted? Try the IDF since it’s doubtful your an American anyway. Your vulgar words are not those of a midwesterner so too bad but you blew your cover.
March 29th, 2007 at 4:11 PM
Hey Chuck,
Not one soldier has been sacrificed for Israel. I’m glad you left the Republican Party because we don’t have room for hate mongers. Unlike the rest of the anti-Semetic left you’ve joined up with, I wish your son well and appreciate his service. He’s doing the right thing for America.
