Franken: Attacks On Cordoba House 'One Of The Most Disgraceful Things That I've Heard'

he is absolutely right. The GOP attacks on Córdoba house are absolutely insane. And I hope that the Dems use this against the GOP during midterms.

"They (Republicans) do this every two years. They try to find a wedge issue, and they try to work it."

AND, they don't care which ethnic group, religion, nationality, or any other category of human beings they sic their base on. They'll vilify grandmas if they think there's political hay to make out of it. "Nothing personal, Grandma. We're just trying to stir up the asshole vote for November."

So jealous of people who get to have him as their Senator.

Rock On AL! Keep speaking up; we need your voice out there...

Al Franken has always been one of the very few Democrats with balls. He doesn't care what people think, he'll tell you what he thinks and what he knows is right. I'd vote for him as President any day of the week. He's a hundred times better than the weenie we currently have in the White House.

This is the stance every Democrat be taking - its the usual republican invented distraction so lets get back to the issues.

Thank you Al.

if you are against cordoba house you are not a true conservative. This is basically a property rights issue and they own the property so they can build anything they like there with in the boundaries of the law

And here I am, stuck with Mitch McConnell and probably soon Rand Paul... and Geoff Davis to boot!

Anyone MN republicans wanna trade representation?

Proud of my Senator.

maybe you need to do a RASSMUSSEN pole
to find out if his views are weighted fairly.
Whats with you utter reliance on RASSMUSSEN.

I was at the event. He gave a great keynote. Here are a couple of pictures of the thing: http://liberalminded.org/node/571

So let’s see, a majority of the public now hint that the very existence of Muslims and their places of worship are the cause of the ills to AmeriKKKa starting with 9/11 and continuing to the current Muslim and semi black president. Okay, so let’s get rid of them! But first let’s just do a little mental exercise on how the elimination of undesirable people will go from these shores after that. I’ll start. I think it will go as follows:

1. Muslims (naturally)
2. Hispanics (dark skinned or with poor English)
3. Blacks (because you know how “those people are”)
4. Sikhs (always confused for Muslim)
5. American Indians (should have died out during the last purge)
6. Hindus (take all the jobs sent oversees)
7. Mixed race (ain’t right if it ain’t all white)
8. Gays (you didn’t think you were staying out of the closet did you?)
9. Jehovah Witnesses(heretics/ cult)
10. Mormons (cult/ heretics)
11. Jews (just always seemed to get dragged into these things)
12. Hare Krishna (nice but annoying non Christians/ cult)
13. Unitarian Universalists (dare to include everyone in their religion/ heretics)
14. Mentally disabled (easy target)
15. Physically disabled (just don’t look right)
16. Asians (because we realize we owe them too much money)
17. All smaller protestant faiths (heretics)
18. All Non Pope sanctioned Catholic sub-orthodoxies (heretics)
19. The non working poor (why not)
20. The working poor (same reason as above)

Then we the displaced will all get to sit back and watch the "Real American" Protestants and Catholics kick the crap out of each other to prove which one is god's chosen people. After they have their orgy of christian blood and death we can all just move back (there won't be enough "Real Americans" left to put up a fight)and try a society of tolerance next time. Feel free to disagree or modify the list as you see fit.

He stole the "point-guard line from John Steward, and managed to botch the joke's setup in the process. Please don't tell me that the senate has damaged Franken's sense of humor.

The ass-kissing here is amazing.Al Franken hasn't done a damn thing for the state.Yet you morons say he doing a great job.

A wonderful contrast to the spineless nattering of Harry Reid. Ever since the memorable lunch at the Booksellers Convention when he called out Bill O'Reilly to his face in detail and at length I've admired Franken's straightforwardness and intelligence. We need many more like him.

I'm glad there's at least one Democrat who'll speak out about stuff like this. A lot of times, the casting of us as wimps feels pretty accurate when our senators refuse to ever take a stand on anything.

Good for Al. Where are the rest? Why is the archbishop getting involved? Sounds like he already made up his mind, comparing it to what happened on Staten Island.
Which is exactly the point--the people on staten Island didn't want it because they're bigots. If the one in Manhattan is opposed because it's too close to the WTC center, what's the excuse for Staten Island? And California? And Minnesota?

Of Republicans, Franken said: "They try to find a wedge issue, and they try to work it."

Slight correction: They try to MANUFACTURE a wedge issue and they try to work it.

It has been this way for my entire lifetime (i.e., back to Joe McCarthy). Most irksome of all, it's always some variation on the theme "We're patriotic and you're not."

YOU MUST NOT MISS IT!!!

By the way, thank God (or whomever) for TPM message boards. After reading the posts on Yahoo! for months, I was ready to shoot myself. Every inbred, TURNER DIARIES reading nutbar in the U.S. must use Yahoo! as his/her sole online news source. That is, when they are not masturbating to Gretchen Carlson, Megyn Kelly, and the rest of Rupert Murdoch's bimbo militia.
