What's this about Franken "threatening" someone?

[funkybutt]

sorry to be so vague but some asshat on the internet brought it up in response to my comments about the young protester that was kicked while on the ground.

More info please!

1. He had words...

With some RW radio producer. Perhaps this has now reached new dimensions of fantasy among RW Asshats.

6. It was Laura Ingraham's producer

RW sites are talking about it, but obviously, none have any information about what happened.

As usual, no substance on the dark side.

2. Didn't he tackle someone at a Dean event?

oooooo my brain cells hurt

5. No he explained what happened

He helped carry out an insane LaRouche disruptor. Nobody was tackled.

3. In FReeper mentality...if you don't piss yourself and faint when...

presented with the "truth of the republicangawd."

You threatened them.

[goodhue]

7. he helped bounce a LaRouchian at a capaign event

don't think there was any assault

8. He did challenge Rich Lowry to a fight

It was a few years back, when Lowry wrote an article that basically said 'all liberals are pussies.' So Al called him up and offered to fight him, thereby proving liberals can be manly men just like wingnuts.

It was performance comedy.

9. NO! this guy referred to something that happened "inside"

i took this to mean he meant Franken "threatened" someone inside the RNC. quote:

"HIM: franken should have gotten his ass arrested for threatening that guy inside too but didn't
ME: i didn't hear about this...
HIM: well of course.
ME: but "threatening" someone is a far cry from pulling them to the ground and kicking them
ME: give me a break
HIM: he's a libral and that doesn't get reported.
HIM: +e
HIM: it was on drudge
ME: i'm sure theres "threats" in just about every political debate, protest in NYC right now
HIM: I hope they at least revokes his press credentials.
ME: oh..drudge! HAHA
HIM: with pics btw
HIM: you can bet your ass that if that was linbaugh at the DNC it would have been front page news.
HIM: want to hear his interview?
