I knew that it wasn’t in the millions of dollars, and I knew that it was a bit more complicated than an easy to understand swindle.

Anyway, it seems that Swiftee and I seem to have reviewed the same general material found on the internet.

I’m not sure about the precise legal terms of thief and swindle. I’d have to look them up.

According to Al Franken, he didn’t know that he was being paid with the proceeds of this sub-million dollar swindle, but there are legal documents that make that hard to believe.

Welcome to the real world because they (IRS and MN as examples, and I am sure NY as well since it is a highly taxed state)have a series of letters in their arsenal prior to the “personal visit”. I suggest Franken received numerous letters and probably phone calls before the certified letter came. By the time it gets to the certified letter you would have to be “mentally challenged” if you did not realize you did something wrong, or at least needed some corrective action. Maybe I stumbled onto the issue as to why Franken would ignore notices from a taxing authority.

It doesn’t seem as though you’ve ever been to the Jerry Gamble Boys and Girls Clubs of the Twin Cities.

Say, HCDFL? You really didn’t mean to serve up this softball, did you?

“Why would Al, knowing how the Republican smear machine works, leave himself so wide open to negative attacks, by willfully disregarding these notices?”

Pfft.

That’ll do dolt #3, that’ ll do

The State of New York notified Al Franken he was breaking the law by sending certified letters to his mailing address. Those letters were delivered to his address, and signed for by his building’s doorman. One part of this fellow’s job is to deliver mail to residents. He was employed for 4 years, implying he was good at his job. The doorman delivered the mail. Franken disregarded it.

Using Occam’s Razor, one can surmise that the simplest explanation is probably the correct one.

… that, or you can believe in retarded conspiracy theories hatched by abject idiots like HCDFL.

Yes, I see it now… J. Guathier started working in Al Franken’s building in 2003, on year before Franken stole millions from a children’s charity to fund his hate radio show, and 3 years before he decided to become a carpet bagger and run for a Minnesota Senate seat.

Yeah, that’s it… then J. Gauthier committed 12 acts of mail fraud, all in a bizarre and complex attempt to get dirt on Al Franken!!!

He MUST be part of the vast right-wing conspiracy… you know, because we have doormen in every NYC residence, gathering intelligence on every liberal-minded dolt so we can derail their ambitions!!! bwah ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!

HCDFL, this goes without saying, but you’re out of your crack-addled mind.

That’ll do Sheeple that’ ll do

Chestnut – Perhaps you could give yourself a break, and take up singing. Marianne ["All day, all night, Marianne; Down by the seaside siftin' sand..."] are fairly easy folk-type songs.

Ya have to wonder if Al doesn’t blush bright red when he looks at the cover of his book; it’s become more of a biography than a scold.

Say, “el p”? If you say so.

However, a “willing suspension of disbelief” is something very familiar to Democrats. The suspend their disbelief every time they support a liberal policy, and every time they vote for a Democrat, thinking that those who’ve destroyed the system can somehow fix it.

Give me a fucking break. Al Franken knew he needed to pay workers comp. He chose not to. He received the warnings from the State of New York that he was in violation of the law. He chose to ignore them.

The same way he ignored his conscience when robbing a children’s charity of millions to pay for his hate show on Air(head)America.

The only thing weaker than the original post is Ron Carey making a press release out of it.

He Whom Ducks Questions (republiCon Ron) demanding someone else answers questions.

And some folk wonder why the small tent keeps getting smaller.

The rest of us don’t want any of that slop contaminating the rest of it.

“At long last, Al Franken must stop insulting the intelligence and good judgment of the people of Minnesota.”
—————
DID Ron Carey REALLY MEAN THAT part about the collective “INTELLIGENCE and GOOD JUDGMENT of the PEOPLE of Minnesota.”

My many friends, colleagues, co-workers, etc. [and I], comprise part “of the PEOPLE OF MINNESOTA” who Ron Carey states have “intelligence and good judgment.”
