I know that Jim and Kevin have already written about Al Franken's Senate candidacy, but when I saw the picture above at Lucianne.com, I couldn't resist sharing it. Can this man be elected?

If a known Islamic terrorist or two can be elected to congress by dhimmi's it should surprise no one that the dhimmi's drag out more mentally ill 'hero's' to run.

Do your homework. That picture isn't even real. It's photo-shopped. It was debunked a long time ago.

Of course, this nut could be elected. Minn. voters elected a wrestler. Minn. elected a Muslim nut. Leftists will flock to him with money. Forgetting the Air America debacle. The darkness of our political future gets worse as a good Senator like Coleman goes down to this fruitcake. Hopefully, the voters will wake up and see this leftist as he is, a clone of Sorros.

Holy friggen crap. As a Minnesotan, I will admit to my fine state making mistakes at the ballot box. Norm Colman for Senate, and Michele Bachmann for our newest congress woman. Jesse Ventura didn't work cause he was an independant in a 2 party system. Good concepts, but the whole "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" thing kinda screwed him. But Al Frankin? Better him than Norm Coleman any day of the week. Coleman is a total tool to the right wing, and you can see it with his voting record, and the fact that his head is so far up Bush's ass that he leaves shoe prints on the back of "Dubya's" pants.

I don't think he should be elected, but I think he will be elected. Bush's continued blunders will lead to a huge Democratic sweep in 2008, and I wouldn't be surprised if Franken was swept in right along with it.

Like Al said, he will be the only New York Jew in the race that actually grew up in Minnesota. Former Democrat, Norm will soon be former Senator Norm. We've got a sense of humor here in Mn.

Why in the world would someone refer to Coleman as a good senator? Why do the parasites and prostitutes of Stalinist/conservative radio refer to Air America as a "debacle." Why is someone who is a Muslim, automatically a "nut?"
Why does the perverted meaning of "leftist," inspire the same mouth foaming as the true meaning, especially when the people who use it as a pejorative constantly and openly advocate for classical leftist policies?
But most of all, why do people who act like Jesus is a stupid asshole, pretend to be "Christians?"
Glenn Koons needs an intervention by cult deprogrammers or he should take his Taliban ass and move to another country.

The bear I can understand.
The striped socks are not something I'd refuse to wear.
The bunny ears I'm willing to laugh about.
The diaper -- which isn't nearly as offensive as the fact that Franken is far too eager in spreading those legs -- those aspects render Franken to the lower rungs of rejects.

Wow. You're absolutely right, and thanks you, Christine, for outing Lorie's lie. It was part of conservative smear, as your link shows, perpetuated by the Ohio Republican party.
Sadly, Lorie was able to perpetuate the lie for 5 days before she caught, so she probably considers her mission as a success.

And it's a photoshopped fraud because...you SAY it is? Looks pretty real to me AND it's in character with the sicko. Spin all you want, but that pic's got more credibility than the average Franken supporter and Air America listener.
