The reason being that the prosecutor was about to have a primary and he wanted to show blacks that he cared by prosecuting and destroying the reputations of three innocent white men. Professors at their school declared them guilty. The school team was ordered disbanned.

All in the name of we have to make sure those guilty whites were punished. Where’s your outrage over that Leroy, Yoni, Tommy, and others.

Plymouth Democrat. One thing to keep in mind. I have been trying to sell writing for years (yes I will admit that I’m unsold). One thing you fail to understand is that the writer controls what he puts on the paper. There are ways not to be offsenive or use insulting language.

In the most recent story I wrote I had a major debate with myself about including one scene where two characters in the screenplay I was working was shown in bed having sex. Normally I wouldn’t even had that scene, but I had to have this scene since the upset reaction of the woman who discovered these two people having sex caused two things that were critical to the plot of the story.

The issues Franken wanted to raise he could’ve easily done it without doing that stupid thing that he did. And keep in mind Franken is working on the premise that Katherine Harris was being told on how to steal the state of Florida for George Bush which was a lie to begin with.

Minneapolis, MN

Al Franken had nothing to do with taking funds from the Gloria Wise Club in NYC. Al Franken was an just an employee of the company. It turns out that the reason Al Franken had to sign the settlement agreement was because he was waiving his claim to pay for work he had done. The settlement agreement clearly states that Al Franken was NOT an investor in the company. Al Franken has stated that he came to believe that Evan Cohen was a crook. The workers at AAR were told that they had enough capital to go for 3 years, while in reality the capital was enough to last about 3 weeks. Franken had nothing to do with getting the money from Gloria Wise, and said that AAR had a moral obligation to pay it back. The money was repaid to Gloria Wise. To recap, the only reason Franken had to sign the document was because he was waiving his right ot collect money that was owed to him by the company running AAR. Nice attempt to make someone that was harmed by criminals, to be the person that was responsible for doing the crime.

prove it

what part of the city did this club serve? inner city with majority of minority children. why would franken divert funds for the benefit of a minority group for his professional benefit if he really cared about them?

another example supporting franken’s disregard for minorities, much like his use of the “n” word.

Caucasian man, MBB, it seems as though you may be are ruling out AFRICANS with your “an African American” unforgivable comment.

My perception is that a naturalized USA African citizen, would not fit your definition as an African American.

Can you think of any more groups of people that you may be ruling out?

It seems to me that what you have here is a pre-planned agenda, or some kind of trial balloon before a next political ad.

Michael. You don’t have a clue.

I’ve lived in the south, played in the south, and visit a kid that goes to college in the south. And I can tell you that I’ve heard Southern Crackers talk EXACTLY what Franken’s ripping; from the early 1970’s until my last trip to Louisiana, last fall.

And down south, there are reasons why blacks vote democratic; one of which them Southern Crackers that still today have no problemo drippin’ the big “N” tend to be registered Republicans.

What you’re trying to do with this story is disgusting; but hey – when your candidate sucks, you have to do what you have to do and there is no doubt your candidate sucks.

They have turned a deaf ear or/and a blind eye to it.

How have African American in Minnesota fared under Coleman/Bush?

That would be a nice statistic to show. Anybody want to bet against me that I know its horrible?

So, when and if, this becomes any kind of issue, we’ll just be sure to show how Norm’s spin guy may care and rightfully get upset when the N word is used in satire, his boss, Norm Coleman, has done nothing but ignore the policies that affect more black Minnesotans.

I would tell ol’ Norm not to even think about bringing Dan Williams out of the moth balls but, he got rid of Dan a while ago.

That is what we call in the business moral ambiguity.

Here’s a question to you.

Is Al Franken a rapist or a racist?

Al was not “attacking racism” as you say.

He was attacking a woman.

I don’t think Porn-O-Rama Franken is really a racist, and I don’t think he’s a tax cheat. I think he’s an incredibly stupid, clueless little man who has carved himself a niche in an industry that thrives on ignorance.

How he ever came to believe that he had the mental acuity to speak with, much less for, mainstream Minnesotan’s I’ll never understand.

But his pathetic attempt to be taken seriously on anything was doomed from the start. That’s just a fact, and the sooner you and the rest of Franken’s crew come to grips with that, the sooner you’ll all be able to move on with your lives.

I wish the best for Porn-O-Rama Franken. When he returns home to NYC, and after the embaressment of having his ass handed to him by Norm Coleman wears off, maybe he can land a writing gig on the next “Jackass” movie sequel.

He’ll feel so much better after he settles back in among his peers, don’t you think?

I threw up in my mouth after i read that Graham.

If more Republicans were champions of social justice like you have become for this election cycle, we’d really have a better, kinder, gentler world.

Michael, are YOU some kind of moron?

I hadn’t really thought that until the posts over the last week or so.

Bravo for finding the tax issues. We can debate about how big of a deal that is, but, it showed some leg work by you. But, these posts are just stupid.
