EXETER, N.H. - Wise-cracking funnyman Al Franken yesterday body-slammed a demonstrator to the ground after the man tried to shout down Gov. Howard Dean.

The tussle left Franken's trademark thick-rim glasses broken, but he said he was not injured.

Franken - who seemed in a state of shock and out of breath after the incident - was helped back to his feet by several people who watched the tussle. Police arrived soon after.

"I got down low and took his legs out," said Franken afterwards.

Franken said he's not backing Dean but merely wanted to protect the right of people to speak freely. "I would have done it if he was a Dean supporter at a Kerry rally," he said.

Where were the histerical cries then? I remember also seeing a photo of Franken charging the protester published on many media outlets - which all celebrated rather then condemned Franken's action.

I couldn't come up with the right Internet search words to locate that photo, but will post it if I do find it.

I'm not on Tweeter to send Trump this link, but other FReepers may like to send it.

Can you guys get over the fact that true guy who rushed at Trump was allowed to do a tv interview? I wonder if Trump is going to say anything about that. I was under the mistaken impression that if one rushed at a press candidate he would do time!

Are we having fun yet?

[ghosthost]

they always refer to him as “funnyman.” He is not.

[going hot]

Ah, but would he get down and take the guy's legs out at a trump rally? That is the burning question.

Maybe he should ask Ted for some pointers on how to react to violent protesters, lest he gets his glasses broke, again.

[Bon mots]

Good catch!
Did they interview the guy that Franken assaulted? Did they arrest Franken?

2004. That is back when Trump was a Democrat.

[Bubba_Leroy]

I hope he uses Franken’s ass off.

[Bubba_Leroy]

Damned auto correct.

I hope he sues Franken’s ass off.

"2004. That is back when Trump was a Democrat."

But, where you an irrelevant fool even back then?

[altura]

Yeah, we are. It’s like a circus. Without the bread.

either one works.

[SoCalConservative]

Your point being?

[altura]

Well, Trump was a democrat in 2004, and in 2010 and now.

So what’s irrelevant about saying so?

[SoCalConservative]

I liked it better the first time around!

[going hot]

either one works.
