I would like to take a moment to ask for donations.

It should be clear to all conservatives by now that the left intends to demonize us. They don't just disagree with us, they hate us. And worse, they want to get other people to hate us.

Places like Free Republic drive the left batty.

Please donate. Thanks for your consideration.

Al Franken, bravely leading the liberal counterattack. And why? Because he's good enough, and smart enough, and doggone it, nobody else wants to. Go get em, champ.

Don't get me wrong, as an entertainer I do find him mildly amusing. I find it HIGHLY amusing, however, that the liberals have given up on intelligent discourse as a means to sell their ideas, and are instead trying to package them as entertainment via washed up laugh hacks like Al Franken and Michael Moore.

For all of his humorous, 'cutting edge' appeal, Al Franken is a baffoon. The liberal rank and file may be frustrated with soaking up defeat after defeat, and may find solace and escapism in his works, but he is not a serious standard bearer. He's comedy. Sulking critics simply do not appeal to people like true leaders.

Sadly, the only people in the Democratic power with unshakable vision are the Clintons and Dean. Neither side will be able to defeat Bush. Franken merely speaks to the angry masses who face enemies they can't defeat because of friends they can't get rid of.

Number 1? Between Al 'cocaine' Franken and Hitlery 'sociopath' Clinton, it seems the public is on a fiction kick. Maybe people just like a good comedy as the best comedies are the ones that say the most ridiculous things. I like this quote; "Even Bruce Springsteen plugged Lies on his recent world turn and introduced Franken to 50,000 cheering fans at Shea Stadium in New York." It seems Bruce is turning more French every day. If he isn`t calling for the impeachment of Bush at just about every concert, he`s cursing out cops by screaming his "41 shots" song. Hey Bruce, how about cursing out cop killers for once? How about cop killer Mumia Abu Jamal who was recently made an "honorary citizen of Paris" by the mutt French? Hey, but all the cops who died on 911; lets cash in on that and write an abortion of an album called "The rising" NA NA NA NA--God, I am so sick of that song. Since I can`t understand a word of what this "working class" Beverly Hills resident sings, I assume "The rising" refers to the "rising" of Al Qaida? What a mutt. Ship him down the toilet, which is another word for France. Freggin` moron. I knew I guy who drove a limo for this idiot and he told me he`s a complete flake. This was back in `86. It seems he still is.

I haven't read it cover to cover, just parts....1 It's not funny, Art Buchwald was funny. 2. The real premiss of the book is ...ta da...Those Rich-religious-right-wing -fanatics are trying to takeover the world...And the world is to stupid to notice...The book is a waste of time...by the was doesn't a lieing lier tell the truth...

We (not just FR posters, but Conservatives in general and guys like O'Reilly in particular) have wasted way too much mental energy on this guy. If it hadn't been for O'Reilly's rants, "Lying Liars..." would be struggling to achieve the less than lofty heights reached by the "...Big Fat Idiot" book. In fact, Rush showed just how to handle this guy, ignore him. Rush made mention of the "...Idiot" book a couple of times, but without mentioning Franken and in the context: "Hey, the only way this guy can sell a book is to mention my name". Rush pointedly refused Franken's "challenge" to "debate" in 2000, because he knew that Franken just wanted an opportunity to fire off a bunch of ad hominem one liners on the "Comedy Channel", as opposed to discussing issues. The O'Reilly approach, with all the Leftist Media attention it generated, probably resulted in all the hardcore Leftists in the country making bulk buys of "Lying Liars..." in order to help it hit the NYT bestseller list.
