DFL: This is the official name for the Democratic Party in Minnesota

If you enter any Democrats name, including Franken, in a search engine, the person will have the tag DFL after it, unless someone didn't know about the DFL and assumed DLC.

Go to the Home Page and you will see a photo of the current Governor and others and the caption say Governor and DFL Leaders. Everything is DFL in Minnesota. Since 1944. http://dfl.org

The acronym is appended to their all the names of the leaders when identifying the party affiliation of a Democrat.

"Introduction to the DFL Party

Thank you for your interest in the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party of Minnesota! Since our Party's inception on, April 15, 1944, we have continually worked to elect strong DFL candidates to public office, act as a voice for the people of our state, and to encourage all citizens to become politically active in their communities. The Minnesota DFL supports and works to enact the ideals and principles of the Democratic Party and strives to sustain the foundations in our Party's grassroots history. We believe that every American and Minnesotan, regardless of their background or other immutable traits, has a right to stable employment with fair wages, to a proper education, to raise and provide for a family, to accessible and affordable healthcare, to live in safe communities, and to retire with dignity and security. In the course of our Party's history much has been accomplished and we at the DFL Party will continue working for a better Minnesota and nation into tomorrow and beyond."

As they say, it is one thing to make a mistake and another to be a jerk about it.

But if you come up with a credible source where he says that he belonged to the DLC in 2003 or now , I will apologize for thinking of you in a very negative way.
