Anybody listening to Franken about these dirty ads? UNBELIEVABLE!!!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

I can't believe this SHIT!!!

[TrustingDog]

1. how dirty, what ads?

please fill in for the many of us that don't know what the frig you're talking about. :)

[tishaLA]

3. The "swift boat vets"

there are threads about them all over GD.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

7. Sorry - paused to listen They are dirty ads about Kerry lying about Nam

by people who "served" with him. They say he lied and betrayed his men

[NewJeffCT]

2. Criminy! Can anybody give us cuberats some crumbs?

I can't listen at work...

[AbsolutSprint]

5. annoying

I seem to find Franken's voice annoying for so reason, its right up there with Coulter...

[cthrumatrix]

8. listen to the content...

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

10. Hi there - have a fun stay!

:hi:

[buycitgo]

"Who cares what you think?"

welcome to DU

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

26. How odd

He's not even from NYC and I have no idea what a "Jewish screech" sounds like even though I'm Jewish.

Enjoy your stay or something.

[AbsolutSprint]

28. haha

Haha..yeah I dunno, I'm from a foreign country, so its hard for me to pick up locations of US accents.

[tishaLA]

31. Indeed

To confuse NYC with Minnesota is like confusing Georgia with California. Maybe it's the Jeweyness that throws you off:eyes:

[truthspeaker]

42. actually Franken has lived in NYC for many years

Actually since his Saturday Night Live days in the 70s.

But he is originally from Minnesota.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

32. Uh yeah right!

nice one!

30. HE'S FROM MINNESOTA!!!

You don't listen to him!

Ha ha

[AbsolutSprint]

37. close enough?

I havent listened to his radio show, but I have seen his commentaries on TV quite a bit. The minnesota part never came up. I also read his last book and found that outburst with O'Reilly at the book signing amusing....I think they should lock those two up in a room and see what happens.

[AbsolutSprint]

39. btw

btw...I think Franken would come out on top...he's got more leverage on the lanky O'Reilly. Plus O'Reilly has a lot of bark and you know what that usually means...

45. sorry

I apologize for that statement. I should have been more thoughtful, I hadn't meant it to be a bigoted statement. (note: I didn't mean jewish and screech to be exclusive with each other) Again, I apologize for it. :-(

25. thank you?

umm...thank you? Go away? I wasn't critizing Franken's message, in fact I agree with him....its just the voice.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

38. I'm sure you hate Bush more than anybody, but....

:eyes:

[knight_of_the_star]

46. Cool it already

I didn't know that DUers were starting to act like FReepers whenever someone said something they don't agree with, especially over something this asinine.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

48. If this were the first or even the tenth time I'd seen this I'd agree but

every god damned Franken thread has this shit!

I'm fucking sick of it and I will NOT "cool it"!

[DenverDem]

40. The way you type just pisses me off.

I'm not "critizing" your message, it's just your typing.

[bobbyboucher]

36. I smell desperation in the air, anyone else?

Lots of fishing going on around here today.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

14. Sorry Jeff - I'm in my cube too - I have to look busy

:)

[amber dog democrat]

4. what ? what ?

what ads ?

[Laura_B_manslaughter]

6. Dems should do the same to bush

I assume you're talking about the anti-kerry ads that question his competence as an officer in Nam. Dems should pound away at the AWOL issue. Bush is a lot more vulnerable on the military service issue than kerry is. But so far kerry has done nothing about this.

[TrustingDog]

17. I'm hoping Kerry is waiting for just the Right Timing...

to bring out all the guns and artillery he has against the bushMachine.
If he doesn't use some of this rich cornucopia at his disposal, I will be very very very dissapointed in him.

When does the campaigning and the ads have to end?

[wurzel]

24. Kerry may be waiting for the "debates".

If they actually happen. Which I doubt.

[Democat]

27. Are Dems going to have the balls to go on the attack now?

After this, if Democrats don't go on the attack, they probably deserve it if they lose.

If we let them beat us up like this without firing back with everything we've got, then we really might be too weak to lead.

[AbsolutSprint]

54. why stoop to their level?

..why stoop to their level? You think its better to win or "how you play the game?" I think it would lead to an interesting discussion. I think if your a moral person you'd stay out of the attack game, but if your a winner I think you need a balance.

[Blue-Jay]

9. You know better than to start threads like this w/o details.

Details!

:)

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

11. Coming with the details - I just turned it on. Seemd the pukes have an add

with vets calling him a traitor - that he lied about his purple heart and his bronze star. Its fucking disgusting

Franken is picking it apart sentence by sentence but IT IS FUCKING DISGUSTING DIRTY BULLSHIT - EVEN FOR THEM!!!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

13. Swift Boat Vets for Truth - Puhleeze

None of these fuckers served with him - the pukes obviously didn't see the people he DID serve with at the DNC

:grr:

http://www.swiftvets.com/

[Qutzupalotl]

51. They're playing "swift and loose with the truth."

I don't have anything substantive to add, I just wanted to get that line in. Like it?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

52. I do - its close to a pun but not too close

:thumbsup:

[BGrier]

16. McCain Calls Ads Dishonest And Dishonorable

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

20. Welcome Bgrier!

:hi:

Thanks!

[Anwen]

18. I'm listening here at work..

This is totally outrageous!!!!!! :grr:

[gasperc]

19. and let's thank God, Franken is on the air blasting this shit

go Al gooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[buycitgo]

23. Oliphant is on now

covered him for thirty years, and said every time this comes up, it works against the liars

[annxburns]

29. Couple of good links (again)

http://mediamatters.org

http://www.snopes.com - check under politics and Kerry

[ParisFrance]

33. One again this proves the republicans show no lines

They don't know compassion.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

34. Oliphant is making some awesome points

this will work for us

[buycitgo]

43. except....WHY is he believing the WH is unsure what to do?

doensn't it sound to him like he believes the WH has nothing to do with these ads?

does he know the connection between ONeill's law firm and Bush?

they REPRESENTED him when he was GOVERNOR

ONeill is defending an ENRON exec in a civil lawsuit

did you know that?

does Oliphant?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

50. I didn't know that and I'm not surprised if its true - but Franken did

bring up the way that the WH claims no involvement but doesn't comdemn it (tacit involvement) and Oliphant agreed

[TexasBushwhacker]

53. Don't you just wish ....

that Kerry could just come out and say, "FUCK YOU! I served, you didn't. NEXT!"

I mean seriously, it's not about the medals! A person can serve in combat and come out without a scratch. Some people are just incredibly lucky when it comes to dodging bullets. It DOESN'T mean that they are any less brave than anyone else.

Kerry VOLUNTEERED after he got out of college. Could he have gone straight into law school and gotten a deferment? Sure! HE DIDN'T! So chew on that Bush and Mr. 5 Deferments Cheney. THEY ARE SUCH ASSHOLES!!!
