So, which is Norm Coleman doing? Admitting he is dirty and beholden to dirty fundraising hosts, or just lying about who hosts his events?

Oh, schmuck? I’ll have long forgotten that comment when I’m at the dfl victory party next year. I’m surprised monkeys like you can even use a computer. I guess you get lots of practice while you sit around pissing and moaning about having been rejected now that you are in the minority. I wonder how many of you cowards actually get off your fat butts and do any real campaigning. I seriously doubt it.

So you’re sure Bell wasn’t hosting it because he was a gubernatorial nominee? Do you have any facts that Franken was influenced by “Big Pharma”? Because otherwise it seems like you’re grasping for a game of conect the dots. You should probably save that for study hall. Give us hard facts.

I’m still trying to figure out what the “big story” of the day is – refried Franken or refried Ritchie. Pls advise.

“guilt by association?”… hardly.

Big Anger says he’ll stand up to special interests, while owing his entire campaign revenue stream to special interests…

That’s saying one thing and doing another. That’s dishonesty.

… of course, he is a Democrat, where one is expected to be a lying, cheating thief.

This is the story you’ve been holding? Time to play the guilt by association game again, huh?

Hey Scott I have met Norm Coleman and I didn’t have to attend a fund raiser. You might want to quit throwing cheapshots! Al being so eager to meet the public must be his explanation for wanting to miss out on debates!

So, Big Anger takes campaign cash from Big Pharma and Big Tobacco….

I’ve noticed that Al Franken’s fund-raisers are almost all out-of-state.

He says he’ll stand up to “special interests”… yet it seems the only one interested in Big Anger are his special out-of-state contributors.

When will Big Anger stand up for Minnesota interests. And how will Big Anger do so, when he’s bought and paid for by out-of-state interests.

It’s called “big” hypocrisy. Team Franken rails against “special interests” and “big pharma” yet a lobbyists who’s clients include “big pharma” hosts a fundraiser for Franken.

That is just one event of the hundreds of free and accessible events that Franken has done. I have met him personally and I did not have to pay the $500/plate or $1000/plate that hosts (PACS) for typical politicians charge. You know, like the local fundraisers for Coleman attended by Bush and Cheney. It is a lot easier to get in front of Franken and tell him about your concerns. Attacking a candidate for an isolated fundraiser like this is silly and utter nonsense. It is going to take a lot more substance than that to beat Franken.
