VIDEO OF AL FRANKEN TALKING ABOUT POSTS ON MINNESOTA DEMOCRATS EXPOSED
By Michael B. Brodkorb | January 29, 2008
This is a video clip of Al Franken speaking at the Stonewall DFL candidate screening on January 19, 2008. Franken mentions posts on Minnesota Democrats Exposed (Franken refers to "MDE"), specifically my post about Al Franken mocking gay people with a joke about Elton John.
I’m not sure why Franken is complaining about Republicans taking his jokes out of context. I have always described Franken’s jokes as jokes. It’s a rather weak defense, but Franken doesn’t have many options to explain away his mean-spirited attacks.
It's nice to know that Franken is reading Minnesota Democrats Exposed.

I love how he pretends like he can’t remember what specific gay-bashing jokes he’s told.
January 29th, 2008 at 9:59 AM
Liberals/DemocRATS sure do hate it when they have their words used against them. Of course, when their own attack dogs pull the same stunt…that’s just fine with them.
I can’t wait to hear all those commercials that will run, using quotes from Franken-fraud’s OWN audio books.
January 29th, 2008 at 10:18 AM
How can he remember what gay jokes he told, there are SO many!!!
January 29th, 2008 at 10:26 AM
Toward the end there, I thought he was going to do a quick imitation of Chris Crocker! That would have been priceless, debating the merits of MDE criticizing his gay-bashing by mocking the Britney wannabe.
January 29th, 2008 at 10:41 AM
Of course, this is precisely what Al Franken want to be talking about in these interviews.
Strong work MDE, your rock solid reporting has Franken talking on your terms rather than repeating his poll tested message.
He must love you.
January 29th, 2008 at 11:46 AM
I love it. Al Franken is willing to personally fight terrorists!!!
Great work MDE. Franken has got to love the free commercial.
Keep helping Al, Michael. You’re doing a great job.
January 29th, 2008 at 11:53 AM
Yes but lets face it, Angry Al thinks he can defeat terrorist with baseballs.
Hmm… reminds me of a speach with “spitballs” in it.
January 29th, 2008 at 12:18 PM
Well judging by the reaction on this video the Stonewall folks present didn’t seem to find the joke offensive.
What’s your point again? That Al name dropped you?
January 29th, 2008 at 12:39 PM
Did someone hear a joke? All I heard was some middle-aged man make some perverted comment in regards to a pop star. Other than some third grader who laughs at the utterly immature scribblings left on bathroom walls, who would find his “joke” amusing? I honestly do not care what anybody’s sexual orientation is. I treat everyone like an upstanding “American”. Lets drop the hyphens and focus on issues and ideas. God Bless America.
January 29th, 2008 at 1:15 PM
Speakin’ o’ “perverted comment”, I.R. Informed, did ya hear about the time Dick (cheney)in’ Cheney told Senator Patrick Leahy, in the senate, “Hey! Senator!! Go (cheney) yourself!!!”
Afterwards, Dick (cheney)in’ Cheney told Neil Cavuto, on Faux, er, ‘scuse me, “Fox” News, that he “felt better” after telling Senator Patrick Leahy, in the senate, to “Go (cheney) yourself!!!”
Here’s the link, to Faux, er, ‘scuse me, “Fox” News:
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,123794,00.html
But, ya know what’s the BEST! part, of Dick (cheney)in’ Cheney, droppin’ the (cheney)-bomb, in the senate?
He did it on the same day the senate passed “The Defense Of Decency” Act.
True story. Link here:

MDE doesn’t sound anything like whoever Franken was mimicking at the end.
I don’t see the point of this little performance of Franken’s. The issue is Minnesota gays being asked to support someone who has used hatred of gays for punch lines repeatedly to help spice up Lame-O stand-up routines. Why Franken feels compelled to exploit gay hatred like that that wasn’t addressed.
January 29th, 2008 at 1:24 PM
I wonder if LibtardTommy was as outraged about senator KKK byrd using the N word on national TV as he is about Cheney giving Leaky Leahy what he’s deserved so many times.
More selective outrage from another Juvinile libtard.
January 29th, 2008 at 1:29 PM
Say, Wade?
I’m makin’ fun of the selective outrage of psudeo-cons, and you’re not smart enough to figure that out!!!
Thank you for proving, once again, the consistent inconsistency of Boy Blunder’s bootlickers.
Ya putz.
January 29th, 2008 at 1:56 PM
You’re a wonder Libtardtommy, a classless wonder. Leahy got what he deserved,and should have been bounced out of congress for leaking information.
I doubt you got all indignant when Randi(Drunk as a kennedy) Rhodes encouraged the assasinasion of Bush but then being stooge for the party of real double standerds doesn’t seem to require a brain.
You should try a bran muffin anybody can tell you’re FOS.
January 29th, 2008 at 2:01 PM
Say, Wade?
You could save yourself a LOT of time, if you simply posted:
“dittos, Rush!!!”
Ya putz.
But, it IS nice to see a worshipper of Drug Limpstick defendin’ Dick (cheney)in’ Cheney’s droppin’ of the (cheney)-bomb on the senate floor.
You did realize, that’s what you’re doin’, doncha?
Reason I gotta ask, is you “Dittos, Rush” putz’s aren’t real bright….
January 29th, 2008 at 2:28 PM
I am no fan of filthy language coming out of anybodies mouth. I do not use such language and will not lower myself to call other users on this site derogatory names (Boy Blunder, Libtard, Bootlicker, Drunk as Kennedy, etc.). I made an observation about the Al Franken video and then get branded as some Bush-bot, boot-licker, pseudo-con, putz by a man who I have never met. Does the fact that Cheney used the F-word make it alright for for Franken to crack sophomoric “jokes” about peoples sexuality Mr. TwoPuttTommy? You think Franken would have learned from the embarrassment and humiliation of Cheney’s verbal blunder.
January 29th, 2008 at 2:37 PM
Say, I.R. Reformed?
Dick (cheney)in’ Cheney wasn’t embarrassed at all; he said it “felt good”.
And if you paid attention to the “Dittos, Rush!!!” crowd here, you’d realize that THEY think it was just dandy that Dick (cheney)in’ Cheney dropped the (cheney)-bomb, in the senate.
But you didn’t, which doesn’t surprise me – those that forget the lessons of history, tend to vote republiCon.
After all, remember what Boy Blunder said?
“You can fool some of the people all of the time and those are the ones you want to concentrate on.” — George aWol Bush, Washington, DC March 31, 2001
And Boy Blunder’s concentrating on you, pal.
January 29th, 2008 at 2:48 PM
Tommy you sure like to turn things personal and quite honestly you sound like you are out to challenge folks here.
Personally I think Michael should ban you before you take it too far ond someone takes you up on the baiting you like to do here.
Should you ever feel like you would like to be more than a keyboard tough guy, let me know.
January 29th, 2008 at 2:58 PM
Let’s tone down the rhetoric TPT.
January 29th, 2008 at 3:18 PM
I’ll let Tommys post speak for themselves from now on Michael I apoligize for sinking to Tommys level.
January 29th, 2008 at 3:28 PM
It is hard not to. When he turns it into personal, just makes me wish he would say it to my face, which of course most tough guy liberals wont.
Too bad the best tommy has is to bait and name call.
January 29th, 2008 at 3:49 PM
TwoPuttTommy you have a few balls in your face haven’t you?
January 29th, 2008 at 4:05 PM
Say, Michael?
Seems your boys don’t want the rhetoric turned down.
Actually, it seems they like to dish it, but like the wimps they are, they DON’T like it when it’s dished back.
Which, of course, explains why they’re republiCons, doesn’t it?
And you’re flattering yourself, with this:
It’s nice to know that Franken is reading Minnesota Democrats Exposed.
Al’s not coming here to read YOU; he’s coming here to watch me smack the bootlickers around.
Oh, and little stones? When you grow a set, er, ‘scuse me, “grow up”, maybe you’ll have the honor of meeting me.
January 29th, 2008 at 4:08 PM
Al has had a few balls in his face too i would imagine. He is from Hollywood.
January 29th, 2008 at 4:25 PM
Twopudd, the honor??
Yes, can I please have the chance to meet a batshit crazy liberal who most likely would push my buttons and I end up in jail for beating an old man. No thanks.
My guess is you are hoping to get in a physical confrontation so you can run off and cry how you were assulted by a poster at MDE.
Hopefully Michael figures this out and just bans you.
You have nothing to bring to any discussion besides your constant baiting and name calling.
There can be no doubt you have lived your life as a complete pussy who hides behind his mommy skirt.
January 29th, 2008 at 4:47 PM
little stones, I just figured it out.
You’re really a paid plant by Howard Dean, sent here to post and make conservatives look really, Really, REALLY stupid.
Congratulations, little stones! You’re doin’ a (cheney) of a good job!!!
January 29th, 2008 at 5:11 PM
Here’s a suggestion, ignore little pudd. He is nothing more then what we wipe off our shoes before we leave the barn. Ignore him and watch his little head explode with the frustration of not being heard. Doesn’t that sound like fun?
January 29th, 2008 at 5:17 PM
we leave the barn
Why, punky, you baaaaahhhhhdddd little boy….
January 29th, 2008 at 9:42 PM
Oh Michael, you narcissist you. It would be nice to watch more of part of that Franken-rant that didn’t talk about MDE.
January 29th, 2008 at 10:12 PM
[...] I spoke to numerous Democrats today about the video I posted showing Al Franken talking about posts on Minnesota Democrats Exposed. Many thought Franken was unaware that he was being filmed. But I told them that I had been informed by sources that Franken was told before he spoke at the Stonewall DFL meeting that the candidate screenings were being filmed. Franken knew he was being recorded and he still decided to talk about the posts on Minnesota Democrats Exposed. [...]

Snowman- as they say in Latin “is a dorkus malorkus”.
January 30th, 2008 at 1:09 PM
“HoleInOne” – as Dick (cheney)in’ Cheney would say, in the senate, to a senator, is “Go (cheney) yourself!!!”
Be my guest, pal.
January 30th, 2008 at 3:12 PM
As Angry Al Franken would say to a gay group, God damn (Franken) fags.
Tommy if you are so hooked on language, I am waiting for your call to Franken’s (FRANKEN) foul mouth.
January 30th, 2008 at 4:05 PM
I think the fact that those on the panel laughed at Franken’s joke says a lot about the validity of your arguments that Franken hates gays.
January 30th, 2008 at 4:09 PM
What are you saying Yoni, a whole room of homophobes?
January 30th, 2008 at 6:05 PM
little stones, imitation from you is the insincerest form of showing you don’t have a (cheney)in’ clue.
And you didn’t have to do that; it was obvious already.
January 30th, 2008 at 6:19 PM
Snowman – Vet my ass- what were you?- a cook on a tugboat? Your game of golf sucks as bad as your politics you fraud!
Angry Al really comes out in that video – a true-blue hack who’s boots snowman loves to lick.
January 30th, 2008 at 6:31 PM
Spanky, you done with yourself already? Well, back to bootlickin’ for Boy Blunder And The Plunderers, for you!
January 30th, 2008 at 6:37 PM
Snowman -AKA – BoyBlunder-AKA -AL!
January 30th, 2008 at 6:50 PM
No, Spanky – Boy Blunder is the gutless wonder, George aWol Bush.
Due try to keep up, won’t you?
January 30th, 2008 at 8:22 PM
Hey Snowman, – aka -Oscar Paradummy
- that fishing hat really looks kind-a happy on you.
I figured out what your deal is -it is based on the “The fifth point of performance†: “Land” for you though- it was on your head – this explains a lot!!
January 30th, 2008 at 10:51 PM
I think this says alot about Stonewall DFL that they were willing to be transparent enough to allow a Republican tracker at their screening. They also welcomed me to report on the event.
January 31st, 2008 at 12:31 AM
Go with that, Spanky – it works for you.
January 31st, 2008 at 3:40 AM
Hey Tommy, in case you can’t read anything more complicated than See Dick run, The NY Times piece that said Bush was AWOL was proven to be ficticious.
January 31st, 2008 at 8:47 AM
Imagine that – a NYT piece that sunk to the level of The Moonie Times.
Doesn’t change the fact Boy Blunder skipped a flight physical, and fled to ‘Bama where he was never seen again – at least at drill.
It comes in handy, when one o’ golf’s most prestigious trophy is named after a relative, and yer daddy is a congressman.
George aWol Bush was born with the proverbial silver coke-spoon up his nose, and a foot in his mouth.
And he’s got plenty o’ bootlickers to give him shine.
You must be one of ‘em.
January 31st, 2008 at 8:52 AM
FOR THE RECORD:
Boy Blunder eventually returned to The Champaign Unit, in Texas, but: Bush The Lesser never stapped on a codpiece and into the pilot’s seat, in Texas.
Why, with all the dough Uncle Sugar invested in Boy Blunder’s flight training, didn’t he ever fly again, after skipping that flight physical?
Bootlickers could care less. They refuse to hold anyone in “The Party Of Personal Responsibility” responsible for anything.
Which is just one more reason GOP now stands for GreedOverPrinciples.
January 31st, 2008 at 2:56 PM
Funny how miltary service was never a problem for draft dodger Bill, I doubt they’d want habitual rapist anyway.
February 5th, 2008 at 3:09 PM
My goodness. I thought I would come to this site to check it out and I find the same mean spirited vitriol that is spouted by Rush.
I find the left blogs to be a bit more polite.
Your venom has been exposed…
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:16 AM
The more that idiot has to take time responding to YOU, the further behind he’ll get. KEEP IT UP. ATTACK! ATTACK! L’audace, l’audace! toujours l’audace! Frappez vite et frappez forte as the Frenchies would say! GO GET HIM! Well done.
