And they are in the upper northeast.

They seem to have backed off in the last day or so, after people started questioning what the laser focus on Franken was, especially in light of the absence of any posts decrying Moore or Trump.

Photo of al Franken at the Minnesota State Fair, 2010 [View all] mainer Nov 2017 OP

How many incidents has he claimed didn't happen? brooklynite Nov 2017 #1

He said he didn't remember taking that photo. mainer Nov 2017 #4

Well, knowing my behavior, I could easily deny inappropriate activity... brooklynite Nov 2017 #19

I've assumed they're enacting a strategy to differentiate from Moore's, Hortensis Nov 2017 #42

What evidence? Nt cwydro Nov 2017 #10

The OP is claiming the shirts are evidence that it didn't happen brooklynite Nov 2017 #20

The OP is wrong about the shirts oberliner Nov 2017 #33

Remember, this fair goes for many days. It is possible he went more than one day. LBM20 Nov 2017 #2

Yes, ten days. Always. Mister Ed Nov 2017 #34

Search shows both shirts. Don't these things go on more than one day JI7 Nov 2017 #3

Can you link to the photo with the dark shirt in 2010? mainer Nov 2017 #5

I did a Google search and pics with both shirts came up JI7 Nov 2017 #7

Remember the White shirt in 2010 when Wellstone ruled Nov 2017 #14

Are we now at the level here where bagelsforbreakfast Nov 2017 #6

No, wearing a white polo shirt at a fair is evidence of innocence mainer Nov 2017 #9

Interesting. cwydro Nov 2017 #11

Curious, isn't it. Esp. posts from the upper northeast. n/m bagelsforbreakfast Nov 2017 #21

The upper northeast? oberliner Nov 2017 #35

People responding to these flame wars is what is keeping this topic going JonLP24 Nov 2017 #37

That is the object of trolling, start a fire and sit back and watch it burn. Thor_MN Nov 2017 #38

Got it oberliner Nov 2017 #43

I would put it more like noticing a theme. Thor_MN Nov 2017 #44

I think there were a few alerts as well Drahthaardogs Nov 2017 #48

Just as well he wasn't wearing a blue dress !!! OnDoutside Nov 2017 #16

It will come out I hope from the Ethic investigations but Iliyah Nov 2017 #8

I don't doubt Franken is being targeted, but VMA131Marine Nov 2017 #13

This "kompromat" hasn't been proven to be effective. So far it looks awfully flimsy. n/t pnwmom Nov 2017 #22

Do people really think the Fair happens on only one day? WhiskeyGrinder Nov 2017 #12

Just interesting that I can't find any photo in that blue shirt at the 2010 fair mainer Nov 2017 #15

Good point. There should be plenty of Dem supporters who would have had their picture taken OnDoutside Nov 2017 #18

If he was there on multiple days, why do no Google searches show him wearing the dark shirt pnwmom Nov 2017 #23

Dispositive of nothing except a penchant for daily shirt changes Stinky The Clown Nov 2017 #17

Possibly more than daily if he felt sweaty and was meeting people. n/t Denzil_DC Nov 2017 #24

Where are any photos of him at the 2010 fair in any shirt but a white one? n/t pnwmom Nov 2017 #26

I don't know. Denzil_DC Nov 2017 #27

Do you know about Google Images? pnwmom Nov 2017 #30

Video of him wearing the same blue shirt as in the Menz photo posted below oberliner Nov 2017 #32

Look on Google Images. Lots of pictures in him in that white shirt at the 2010 state fair. pnwmom Nov 2017 #25

on edit to my comment above about Google Search showing both JI7 Nov 2017 #28

Right. I also couldn't find a blue shirt with white trim, like in Menz's photo. The fair shirts pnwmom Nov 2017 #29

Here's a video of Franken wearing the blue shirt at the Minnestota State Fair in 2010 oberliner Nov 2017 #31

It's not the same shirt RealityChik Nov 2017 #45

Some of this is getting ridiculous. LisaL Nov 2017 #40

There is video of him wearing the same blue shirt at the fair oberliner Nov 2017 #41
