When it comes to fighting for "social justice", liberals sure can be selective.
Take this interview with Al Franken in the new issue of The Progressive, "a leading voice for peace and social justice since 1909".
Air America scandal, what's that? Every question is served Larry King-softball style.
Maybe Franken really is a funny guy after all, claiming here he's actually not especially liberal!
With unpleasant realities like $875,000 in taxpayer funds intended for an inner-city community center allegedly diverted to Air America Radio, The Progressive casts aside social justice for friendly, partisan cover.

'Franken: Yeah, but you need an experienced radio veteran who is a liberal advocate. And there just hadn’t been any radio that did that. And so they weren’t trained—they had developed all these bad habits of being objective and balanced and stuff like that. [Laughs.]
It’s hard to get that out of a person. I mean, obviously, I value objectivity and actually caring about facts, and we do that on the show.'
...This just HAS to be a joke. Objectivity and balance are to Al Franken what cleanliness is to a pig.

It really is hard to believe that Al is as delusional as that statement would indicate.

"On most issues, most Americans are certainly left of this Administration. "
Right... That must be why they voted for this administration twice as opposed to the teams that were "left of this administration."
I wonder exactly what the heck this guy thinks "objectivity" really is?
