Al Franken is my HERO

[iluvchicago86]

:toast: This a thread to toast the man who helps advance the fight against the right wing propaganda machine. Al has succesfully gotten the whackos at faux foaming at the mouth ...oh, and he's making money in this too!!!! YAY for AL!:evilgrin:

[cherryperry]

1. Al is my hero, too;

want to start a fan club or does anyone know if one already exists?

:toast:

[iluvchicago86]

4. Hmmm

Well I don't know about the fan club already existing...but you bet we will get some more progressives to rally with us in our cause after his book comes out!

[Dale Cooper]

2. me too

He is nice man.

3. i very much like Al Franken too

he is witty and smart

and he cares about people.

5. Al rocks

He came to speak at my college and he was freaking hilarious. He spoke for 3 minutes alone on how much he hated Ann Coulter, anyone who can do that deserves to be a hero in my book!

[ArkDem]

6. Yes, Al is at the top ranks of this country's intelligensia!!!!!

There are few people as smart as Al. He should run for office.

[cherryperry]

8. I want him to be the next (obviously dem) press secretary!

Can you imagine how great the press conferences will be?

:hi: :kick:

a certain campaign. Maybe he has the same idea you have, cherry.

[Exultant Democracy]

12. Real Patriotism...

You can't wear it on you sleeve, or put it on your car window as a sticker. Real patriotism isn’t about following blindly. Real Patriotism is about loving your Country enough to do what is right, not what is easy. So here is to you Al, keep on fighting.

[cherryperry]

20. Yes: America: Change It or Lose It! Remember that one? n/t

[Parche]

13. He makes me "SMILEY"!!!!

I really like him, I really really like him

[blm]

14. A toast...and I'm in love with your kitty!!!!

Geez....how adorable.

[iluvchicago86]

22. I love it too!

I was perusing DU late one night a while ago and stumbled upon this kitty...it had me laughing for hours. I only wish my cat would photgraph well, but since she's all black what you see is a black lump and two eerie yellow lights.

16. Hear, hear!!

:toast: :bounce: :thumbsup: :evilgrin:

18. For a "C" rated political commentator

He sure made the entire Faux network look stupid.

[Catshrink]

23. What I like about Al

is that he can be as mouthy and pushy as the repugs. He doesn't back down, but just keeps comin' at 'em. If you saw the forum of Al, O'Really, and Molly Ivins at the LA Book Festival you know what I mean.

The big difference is that he backs up his verbage with evidence. He documents. O'Really just lets it flow. Rush just lets it flow...

Woooohooooo Al. Keep it up!!
