Bush is an intellectual sloth but he is cunning ad crafty enough to0 get a bunch of bed wetting liberal Senators to authorize the use of force? Which is it?

[dangus]

The decision is foolish from a market perspective. Can that many servicemen really WANT to hear Franken?

[Spok]

I think it's a good idea-let our guys judge Franken for themselves. (They're not going to be happy.)

[mark3681]

This could really backfire on Franken. Maybe be the final nail in the Air Amerika coffin!

[handy old one]

Maybe the military figures the boys can tell the difference between a REAL American and a PILE of !@#$%%^&* like franken. See the respect I offer franken his name is in small letters. If I knew how they would be very small letters.

[TexasCajun]

Let them broadcast their America Hating, Military Hating, Enemy Supporting crap.

It will only solidify military support for the Republican Party. ...and not last.

Did Rush every get on?

I contacted the armed forces network.
the pr guy named Larry Sichter , of the defense media center said the following :

"We play Rush for one hour so its consider fair to play this show ."

It was pressure from Harkin and the lib in this article !

This Defense Maid Center made the decision !!

Feel free to call him and ask for Larry Sichter and raise hell (703) 428-0622 !

I did and he is a full blown Lefty

I'm sure it will go the way of Air America and all the other shows all the liberals tried to float but failed. It's OK...let him speak his mind or let him speak his NO MIND. He'll be shown for what he is. I'm glad he's on. They are trying to be Rush Limbaugh. That AINT gonna happen. ;)

Most of the other stations that carry Err Amerika get paid by Err Amerika. Is Al Franken going to pay AFN for the airtime?

Michael Mooreon proved that there are in uniform, so it wouldn't surprise me that Al "steal from the orphans to pay me" Franken would find an audience there. At least among the overseas correspondents.

Are you kidding me? That assclown Franken is your best entertainment value. No serviceman I've ever met in my 18 ½ years thinks Al Franken has the intellectual capacity of a lima bean.

[Grizzled Bear]

Did he not have a history of some racist and anti gay comments (actually really nasty, mean spirited skits) during his SNL days?

If so; where's the outcry? Hello libs! Anybody out there?

[DesignerChick]

How is he received on USO tours anyway?

[OkieDoke]

For a `Harvard man', he's as dumb as a bag of hammers.
I've seen `C' students at land grant universities
and community colleges that could hand Al his a**.

[Tzimisce]

This is so lame!

Yeah - fairness and balance, this is going to cause moral to cave. If we can ban conservatives and military recruiters from schools, why do peaceniks have to be carried by AFR?

What is he going to tell them? Yeah, we support you - we just think you're baby killing, tools of a corporate capitalist system and spreading evil and terrorism around the globe.

The left is so galling. To even question them makes you a racist, sexist, homophobe but an outright protest of something conservative makes you open minded.

Air America CEO Danny Goldberg told Radio Ink: "We are very grateful the Armed Forces Network] has recognized that Al Franken is a profound and unique American voice with a significant following and that it is appropriate for his program to be one of the listening options for those who serve in the armed forces."

Profound?I can think of many words with which to describe Al Franken,but profound certainly isn't one of them.

[reagan_fanatic]

Al Franken has a show? And what exactly is an 'Air America'? Is it an airliner or something?

[BurtSB]

This clown named Larry told me that they decided to play this lefty show and one other show to offset Rush.
I told the guy that NPR is played non stop on your networks and that is pure left wing propaganda .

He was left speechless with that reply ! I called my congressman and Senator (staff) and they were caught off guard about this AFD decision and said Congress DID authorize this !

Everyone needs to raise Cain so call Congress and Larry at
(703) 428-0622.

This crap being broadcast overseas will demoralize out troops and foreign listeners !

There's gonna be a lot of shot up radios out there.
