Frank Alan, you are one dumb, dumb, dumb. S.O.B.

Not that that’s all we’re talking about. AL FRANKEN DID BUSINESS AS A PAID SPEAKER WITHIN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. HE RECIEVED PAYMENT FROM CALIFORNIA BUSINESSES. THEREFORE HE NEEDED TO PAY INCOME TAXES ON INCOME EARNED IN CALIFORNIA.

Go way now little doggy.

“No one has answered the simple question. With corporations based in New York and/or Minnesota, why would he need a corporation in California?”

BECAUSE THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA SAYS HE HAS TOO. YOU GODDAM DUMB BASTARD. ANYONE DOING BUSINESS IN ANY STATE MUST SET UP A LEGAL ENTITY IN THAT STATE IN ORDER TO LEGALLY CONDUCT BUSINESS THERE.

For crying out loud. If your this goddam stupid, would you just shut the fuck up?

Lets make this very clear.

On election night of 2000 George Bush had more votes than Al Gore in the state of Florida despite the networks depressing George Bush’s Florida vote total by an estimated 10,000 votes because of their early call of Florida while part of Florida was still voting countary to stated network rules. And for those people who blame Katherine Harris if the networks had listened to her warning before election day we wouldn’t have had the mess.

On the day that Katherine Harris offically was suppose to certify the election George Bush still had more votes despite the hundreds or thousands of oversea ballots that the Democrats who claimed they wanted every vote thrown out.

On the day where the Florida State Supreme Court set the offical day where Katherine Harris was allowed to certify the election George Bush still had more votes than Al Gore in Florida.

Note if you count Palm Beach county which wasn’t part of this offical count George Bush still had a lead on Al Gore!

At no point did Gore have a lead so you can’t argue that Bush stole the election.

One further note if you want to argue that Bush cheated Al Gore wanted four counties recounted. Three of them turned in offical recounts in this total I just told you about. The only county not accounted for was Miami.

Now if you look at history instead of Democrat talking points Miami called off it’s recount because they thought they didn’t have time to complete their recount based on the deadline given by the Florida State Supreme Court. The fact that Palm Beach County didn’t meet the deadline is proof that Miami was correct in making this call.

Furthermore people aren’t aware of just how the Republican Party was organized for that recount. Each precint had observers. Republican observers were under orders that if they saw a dimple vote on a ballot for Gore to see that ballot had to be thrown out because it had two votes (Republicans apparently had no problems with dimples counting in Miami). Democrats weren’t doing challenges on Bush. The Republicans were actually getting more votes thrown out for Gore than Gore was creating on the undervotes.

Thus Eightputt there is absolutely no credible reason to be able to claim that Bush stole Florida. If you have some evidence that contradicts this known history I will like to hear it. OTHERWISE SHUTUP YOU BEEP OF A BEEP!!!!

Lets make this very simple. If you looked at the definition of a California corportation Al needed it in part because he has to account for his movie and television revenues. Keep in mind he did appear in movies (such as Trading Places)and he makes appearances on television.

As part of his job for Air America he made appearances in California.

Thus the need for the California corporation.

Do we need to be any more clear to make you understand this?

Walter Hanson

He had to file papers because he does business in California. So, to California he is a “Foreign Corporation”

Does John Grisham have to have a corporation in West Virgina so his books can be sold at the airport there?

Does Colin Powell have to be incorporated in North Dakota to give a speech at UND?

Seems to me, you are all so anxious to have this be true, you have overlooked the basic system in place that governs corporate entities.

I’ve never seen such ignorant, desperate spin. Hey Frank, get over your Al Franken man-crush. You are one pathetic moron.

Any promotions he was doing for his book — was corporation business.

Any speech he gave where he was paid to give the speech — was corporation business.

Any activity in which he was either paid — or his activity resulted in economic activity on behalf of his corporation — is covered by California law.

Unless he is going to claim it was paid to him directly. Which has its own set of questions that will be raised.

And, if he claims he reported the corporate income to his New York or Minnesota corporation, then it underscores that he misled people when his campaign said he had not been conducting business in California.

The test of income being taxable under California law is not whether he was being given a check directly or was paid income…

…the test of income is whether he was doing anything that was generating economic activity that resulted in financial gain for Alan Franken, Inc.

We do know that Franken attempted to say (even up until this week in Roll Call) that they attempted to dissolve their business.

We do know that Franken’s name was listed as CFO and CEO on two seperate documents, one in 2004 and 2006, maintaining his foreign corporation status.

So — which Al Franken claim are we to believe.

He did dissolve the business before he reformed it?

He didn’t do business in California — until he was doing business in California in 2004 and 2006.

He did report income from California in New York — until he didn’t do business in California – until he did do business in California.

The knot is getting tighter. And, the answers getting more unbelievable from the Franken Camp by the moment.

“We don’t know that”. Why?

Because, Walter, that’s an allegation.

At this point, it’s only an allegation. Lord knows it might even be true; it’s not as if republiCons have ever lied, or anything….

That line just drives ya nuts, “right”, Walter?

Lemme repeat that, just for you!!!

“Dumbya had a much worse paperwork problem, and he still managed to beat McCain and go on to steal the election, fair ‘n square.“

It’s amazing; the guy who has spent his whole career cashin’ a government check, is representing the party that hates career government employees.

Alan:

Franken set up a corporation to manage his appearances and his legal income from California. He set it up to avoid the higher income tax rate for individuals. He has an accountant filing paperwork in two years after the year the corporation said they weren’t doing business in California. And it turns out that the corporation’s CEO was in California on several occassions performing corporation business. It is Franken’s responsibility to show that he doesn’t own taxes. Maybe he can go to jail for three years like Wesley Snipes got sentenced to today.

Eightputt:

Bush didn’t steal the 2000 presidential election. It was Al Gore who was trying to steal the election by creating votes that weren’t there and trying to stop the votes of members of the military from being counted even though they wanted every vote counted. Furthermore Dan Rather never went after Bush for that 1992 so quit talking about it!

As for the person who said the Democrats can run somebody else and win they had better do something about getting another candidate because Franken is going to be an anchor on the entire Democrat ticket pulling it down at the rate he’s going.

Hahaa!

Not now. Somebody on the GOP has done their homework
================

Say, dolt? Andy Barr holding on line 2.

..pfft!

So, an author to follow in Franken’s footsteps would need to incorporate in EVERY state, just to protect their income?

Seems to me that is a bit of a stretch, even for a confirmed idiot such as yourself.

It’s 5:18. What’s your excuse now, dolt?

Close, but NO CIGAR!!!

This is what you meant:

“Now we have suppositional information that possibly indicates either…”

Proof?

The only proof ’round here is that 3.2 kiddie beer you been drinkin’, boy.

Al Franken incorporated to shelter his income from taxes. He failed to provide the proper documentation required by the state to allow him to enjoy that benefit.

Now we have solid documentation that proves either A) He lied about his failure to manage his tax shelter lawfully, or b) He failed to pay his individual income taxes.

Either way, he’s done….get it? Or do I neeeeeeed to type slower?

To get this straight. If I were to get a job in California, the state would require me to incorporate?

Seems to be a lot of McDonalds employees may be skipping over this step, and going straight to the grease trap each day.

But, I am sure your knowledge of California law is far superior to the laws of common sense.

Speaking of hopeless, lefty dolts, will “Grace Kelly” be doing one of her informed, though provoking commentaries about this on MNBlue?

God, I can’t wait to read *that*!

Jesse “The Body” Ventura vs Norm “Too Skinny Body to pass the draft physical” Coleman could be interesting.

Even though it is all allegations and suppositions, let’s face it – we’re dealing with a media that is looking for a scandal and is more than willing to ask questions where there’s smoke.

An’ the guy benefittin’ the most from this smoke, is the ol’ Smokescreen himself, Norm “Smokescreen” Coleman, R=Lapdog.

Pay attention, all of you lefty dolts.

If Al paid taxes, it proves he lied about “not doing business in CA.” since ‘03.

He’s toast.

If Al didn’t pay taxes, it proves he’s been guilty of tax evasion while he’s been out here bashing corporate America for “not paying their fare share”.

He’s toast.

The only question left is, “Which side of this toasted moonbat do you want buttered?”

If you are able to show that income from these events was not reported (ala Richard Hatch of Survivor fame), then you will have a big story and Al may be in trouble. So far, that has not been demonstrated.

Also, there is a big difference between income tax and franchise tax. They are very different things and arise under very different circumstances.

There is no story here. Lots of missing pieces need to be connected before there is any traction to this story.

Seems they got their undies in a bunch when I made the statement “Osama, er I mean Obama”

With all the trouble Franken is in and it now looking like Hitlery will take the nomination, they REALLY do not want me around.

Pfft.

It’s only been a couple of hours since this broke, most newspaper reporters are Democrats..you know, not too bright?

Give it another hour and a half.

“But, it’s a long way to November.”

2pud? Andy Barr on line 2.

Haha, dolt!

What’s his phone number; I’l give him a call!

Can I drop your name, little stones?

Granted, you will be licking boots, but that is nothing new to you now is it.

Absolutely not. Otherwise they would have come forward with it. And the MSM is finding this out right now too. Speculation is always much sexier than the truth. Luckilly, Mikey isn’t bound by any sort of ethical code. All he tries to do, day in and day out, is keep Ron Carey (and whatever candidates he is covertly working for) happy.

So, Congrats! Norm is loving you today. I hope you get a big bonus for TOTALLY OWNING a Thursday in April.

Al’s damage repair crew is out canvassing to find some poor schlump stupid enough to take this new rap for him, he’s….er, say 2pud, maybe you should give Andy Barr a call.

Something tells me that he’d *really* like to talk to you, dolt.

Two weeks ago, it looked like a minor paperwork snafu – (cheney), Dumbya had a much worse paperwork problem, and he still managed to beat McCain and go on to steal the election, fair ‘n square.

That’s one problem with bootlickers like you, NotSoSwiftly – you love to re-write history.

That hasn’t changed a bit.

But, it’s a long way to November. Team Franken’s taken some shots, and this one is big. No doubt about it.

Let’s see how they respond.

Do us a favor and keep that tin-foil hat on your head lest the teaspoon of brains you have left drop out onto the floor.

I guess he really does want to be in MN politics.

So puddles, is it still Angry Al who will be sworn in then in November? Is this just to try and get out of the posting bet?

Not now. Somebody on the GOP has done their homework – and I don’t care who ya are, they’ve done their job, they done it well, and they deserve a hat-tip. I tip mine.

But, I am wondering – let this loose on a Thursday afternoon?
