Franken Attacks Heckler!
Wise-cracking funnyman Al Franken yesterday body-slammed a demonstrator to the ground after the man tried to shout down Gov. Howard Dean.
(Take that you naysayer!)
The tussle left Franken’s trademark thick-rim glasses broken, but he said he was not injured.
(Darn I was hoping.)
Franken - who seemed in a state of shock and out of breath after the incident - was helped back to his feet by several people who watched the tussle. Police arrived soon after. "I got down low and took his legs out," said Franken afterwards.
(Like any good liberal he hits low.)
Franken said he’s not backing Dean but merely wanted to protect the right of people to speak freely. "I would have done it if he was a Dean supporter at a Kerry rally," he said.
(Question: would he have done this at a Bush rally?)
"I’m neutral in this race but I’m for freedom of speech, which means people should be able to assemble and speak without being shouted down."
(Amen brother! But I doubt you support that for conservatives.)
The trouble started when several supporters of fringe presidential candidate Lyndon Larouche began shouting accusations at Dean.
(LOL wasn’t even a NeoCon that caused the problem, it was one of their own fringe!)
Franken emerged from the crowd and charged one male protester, grabbing him with a bear hug from behind and slamming him onto the floor. "I was a wrestler so I used a wrestling move," Franken said.
Al Franken is a BIG FAT LIAR and now it seems he has joined the legion of Dean storm troopers. He could care less about anyone’s ‘freedom of speech.’ If this had been a NeoCon that ‘body-slammed’ a liberal demonstrator, the press would go NUTS! Al ‘BIG FAT LIAR’ Franken should be charged with assault. Yes I would feel the same about some protestor at a Bush rally. I have been to NeoCon rallies and you can ALWAYS count on some left-wing nut job showing up and spouting ‘Republicans are Nazis’ or something to that affect. Never has anyone ever punch, kicked, spindled, or mutilated these idiots (no matter how deserving). Funny since we were being called Nazis we didn’t act like ones? But then the Liberals say they aren’t and well this tells you the real story.
