   Thanks for helping keep this story on the front burner, Michael!

   Good job!

   I saw this ad last night, and nearly spilled my beer. First, that Franken is spinning his history as a tax cheat. Then he rips on someone for paying rent.

   Hey guess what? I paid $600 per month rent in a building that was worth several million dollars once.

   Franken is the lying liar telling lies. Fraud.

   No, Chestnut – the “fraud” is Jeff “Landlord” Larson, and his claiming a Homestead Tax Exemption he wasn’t entitled to.

   And as of yesterday, the Chair of the RNC National Convention Host Committee, Jeff “Landlord” Larson, still owed back taxes on the place ol’ Smokescreen (allegedly) lays his head.

   Typical – a bigshot republiCon, and a tax cheat to boot.

   LOL — yeah, I forgot about that whopper of yours Tommy. The one where you, a stranger from Minnesota, called the DC property tax authority to complain about something with one of their property owners. And then miraculously, over the Fourth of July holiday weekend, they just automatically levied the fines and penalties.

   You’re not just fat, drunk and stupid Tommy. You’re a goddam liar.

   Oh, it’s true, bootlicker. But, thanks for proving you never bothered to check up on that story.

   No surprise there; republiCon bootlickers are notoriously lazy.

   Here’s the address in question:

   140 North Carolina Ave SE

   Here’s the property ID:

   0734 0085

   Here’s the phone number, to the guy that did the Homestead Audit:

   (202) 727-4829 – press 6, then 1. Then ask for Mr. Piggot.

   Go ahead, Chestnut – let some moths outa your wallet, and spend a dime on a phone call.

   Tommy,
   I did check up on it. And what I found substantiated none of what you said.

   You’re a f’n liar.

   You’re either more stupid than I thought, or a (cheney)in’ liar, bootlicker.

   Of course, both of the above are entirely possible with brain-dead bootlickers like you.

   The rent thing is fairly dumb IMO. Granted, having lived in D.C., $600 for anything less more than a cardboard box on the corner is pretty remarkable, but, I’m more interested in the big money coming in PACS than I am of Coleman saving $800 / mo. on rent.

   Ultimately, there’s enough meat here to expect that it will come out. MnGOP can’t claim foul when they’ve been throwing mud all season especially when 90% of MnGOP’s attacks on Franken are equally (or more) dumb than this.

   Fat, lying and stupid is no way to go through life, Cheeto boy.

   Please pass that along to Porn-O-Rama Franken, won’t you?

   Well, you can skip the fat part of course; you could fit 10 Frankens into the tent you wear for a shirt.

    The idea that someone actually defends this ad is so funny. “I didn’t pay taxes, but his landlord didn’t either!” Maybe we should investigate Coleman’s barber, too, maybe he didn’t re-up his barbers license or pay his property taxes.

    Jeez you people are idiots.

    “The rent thing is fairly dumb”

    QED

    Scrotee, you never did say why you felt it was appropriate to link to full-frontal male nudity, here on MDE.

    Average Dip, his “landlord” is the Chair of the RNC National Convention Host Committee; not just some typical lobbyist.

    From Abramoff on down through Jeff “Landlord” Larson through republiCon Ron, the GreedOverPrinciples party is filled with crooks at all levels of party machinery.

    You forgot:

    Tommy used “bootlicker” in a post. That`s the first time he used that word, right?
