Franken forgets state’s pro-gun viewpoint
Albert Lea Tribune ^ | 17 July, 2008 | John Holly

Posted on 07/18/2008 6:23:38 AM PDT by marktwain

In one of Senate candidate Al Franken’s literary efforts titled “Rush Limbaugh Is A Big Fat Idiot,” he reveals his personal feelings about a topic important to many Minnesotans. In Chapter 12 of his book, I learned that candidate Franken is against private ownership of guns due to his belief that firearms in the home are “too dangerous.” I believe these views are more consistent with California or New York, where Mr. Franken still maintains corporate interests.

His problem is Minnesota has always been a pro-gun state. Remember, a bipartisan majority passed “conceal and carry.” I called the National Rifle Association’s legislative office April 22 for Sen. Norm Coleman’s most recent NRA rating score. Coleman’s previous votes and questionaire answers qualified him for their hightest category — A.

Good to see some word getting out on the ultra-leftist Franken.

Franken isn’t even a good comic. He’d fit right in in DC.

B.S. He lives there. He is nothing but a carpetbagger.

Franken is wants to ban private ownership of guns? What a surprise.

How about that he’s an idiot?

Oh yeah... he’ll fit right in with Reid, Boxer, Kennedy, Dodd, Schumer, Her Heinous, et. al.

Of course, being one of the absolutely indispensible elitists, Al would have a 38 in his glove compartment, just in case. After all, the US can afford to lose any number of mouth-breathers, but not an Al Franken!

Franken’s no gun position should sink him in the election as other than the brie and Birkenstock liberals in a few Twin Cities suburbs and on a few Minnesota college campuses, the vast majority of the state is pro-hunting. Now if Franken has made some anti-fishing statement Coleman will win in the biggest landslide in US history.

The suburbs are Republican. Minneapolis and St. Paul are hard rock DFLers.

Jason Lewis is a nutcase that lives in a bubble.
