I'm a day early with this week's "Forays Into Freeperville". I'm headin' off to the Rothbury Festival with Mrs. E to get my hippy on this weekend.
With the dramatic conclusion to Al Franken's 8-month odyssey to become the second senator from Meennahsootah and the 60th Democrat in the Senate, the Freepers have become...uh...shall we say "unhinged". Maybe that's not a strong enough word.
(Actually, I understand via a tweet from Atrios that Mr. Franken will have to show his birth certificate first before he can become Senator.)
So let's check in on our counterparts on the other side of the ideological spectrum with this week's
Forays Into Freeperville - Senator Al Franken Edition
Most Freepers seem to think this was an outright robbery, a theft of a Senate seat by Al Franken and the Dems.
Luv W starts us off:
God help Minnesota and God help America with this illegal seating of a US Senator!
Bulldawg Fan concurs:
Has an election for the US Senate ever been so obviously stolen in front of everyone?
Coleman is so classy, I would have taken it to the US Supreme court.
Riii-iiight. Classy. Norm Coleman, the man who told Franken to step aside the evening of November 4th then proceeded to spend 8 months fighting to win the seat using every ridiculous method he and his legal team could think of is "classy"? How about WATB???
This next quote is so absolutely disgusting that I hesitated to even put it in here but I guess if yer gonna Foray, you have to be prepared for all manner of absolutely deplorable sputum.
Dead Corpse vomits up:
I wonder if we can book him a flight on Wellstone Airlines...
Jesus. I have nothing to say to that. Wow.
[Eclectablog shakes it off...]
Raster Master disses all the good Meenahsootans who voted for Senator Franken:
One place GUARANTEED that I’d never set foot in...I’ll drive around the state to make sure I never set foot in that land of loons. The place and it’s people are an absolute DISGRACE and are unfit to be called "American".
Theodore R. takes the hike and drops back into the pocket:
Never ever overestimate the intelligence of the people of MN (and many other states too!)!
eeriegeno takes the hand-off and carries the ball downfield:
Screw Minnesota but God help America! It seems that that state has a death wish for the greatest nation on Earth judging by their recent election results. That Jesse would be elected Gov and that this asshat Franken gets close enough to steal a US Senatorial election says a lot about the water that they drink in Minnesota........
Big Horn takes it into the endzone on a forward lateral:
A state full of idiots is represented by a idiot.
Meenahsootans, are you listening??? This is how the Angry RightTM feels about you. Remember that the next time you enter the voting booth. The amazing thing is that Jesse Ventura has been one of the sanest commentators on waterboarding recently. Maybe Meeenahsootans aren't so dumb afterall.
Costumed Vigilante sees a trend:
If "Name It-Claim It" theology has any validity, Iran's "Death to America" chants have been given the stage of reality in the stolen election of Hussein, and the stolen election of this piece of crap ex-comedian.
The problem is, it is Satan who is answering these prayers.
I should mention that "piece of crap ex-comedian" is probably one of the nicer things they are calling Senator Franken over in Freeperville...
Logical Me loses it:
This stupid klutz wouldn't even know how to read a bill. Just another liberal RAT a@@ on the take and one more for King Obama's back pocket. How many more kiss a@@ dunces do we have to put up with?
Dude, the "@" sign does not substitute for the letter "s". Use the dollar sign ($). The "@" sign is for the letter "a". Sheezo, do I have to explain everything to you???
Here, let John Galt show you how it's done:
I used to admit to having been born in Minnesota. No longer - any State that can elect a complete @ss-clown like Al 'The Diaper' Franken to national office (where said @ss-clown can piss on the rest of the people in the country, in addition to the numb skulls in Minnesota) does not deserve my recognition. You want him as dog catcher, or sewer sweeper, or governor, fine. You deserve what you get. Send the @ss-clown to Washington, and force him on the rest of us, and we're done...
;>)
rcrngroup loses it, too:
Another day of infamy in the now United Socialist States of Amerika. What an ass!!! What a buffoon!!! Our country is soooooo screwed!!! Who would have ever thought in our wildest imaginations that Amerika would willingly vote in a socialist-fascist-commie pig 0boooooooombshiite usurper-in-chief, followed by a coarse vulgar pervert like Al Franken. God forgive our nation for its’s collective stupidity!!! Unfortunately I fear that we are now under God’s judgement rather than God’s mercy!!!
Hey! YOU don't get to call it "Amerika". That's the Liberal Left's word. Getchyer own!
Iron Munro has had it:
Congress has become nothing less than a non-stop two ring circus.
Look at the motley collection of delusional liars, blowhards, crooks, con artists, theives, idiots, racists, whore mongers, slobbering queers and pedophiles, Femi-Nazis, clowns, failed comedians, and plain mental deficients running the country.
"Delusional Liars"? "Blowhards"? "Racists"? "Whore mongers"? "Slobbering queers and pedophiles"? Iron, you do realize that you mostly just described the Republican party, right? Oh, and "Femi-Nazis"? Dude, that is so 1990s...
lilylangtree has an idea:
Bleah! Gotta find the skeletons in Franken’s closet, like closet queer, multiple mistress, into S&M. He didn’t get to where he is without those skeletons besides being idiot RAT.
Hate to break it to you, lily, but Al's been happily married to Franni for over 30 years and there's never been a hint of any "Hiking in Appalachia" during that time.
catfish1957 takes it down a notch or ten:
FU Franken.... Wish you could make it to SE Texas so we could give you a swift kick in the testicles. Uh nevermind, I understand you have none of those.
Oh-so-classy those Freepers...
Speaking of classy, proudofthesouth takes it down even further:
Oh great! Another Fag in Congress to join the one already in the White House!
Really, dude, how old are you? Like 12 or something???
chris37 sees a religious context:
The Prince of Lies sits upon his throne, and his Horde of demons is complete. Welcome to The End of Days, brought to you by ignorance, insanity, greed, lust for power, and control, all of the finest characteristics of the beast known as man.
Ooo!!! Scary!!! What, no mention of President Obama as the Anti-Christ? You guys are off yer game, I guess.
chris37 also has this to say:
Congratulations on your blatant theft of an election with the aid of your state and federal government, Mr. Franken, you festering piece of dog sh*t. You’ll fit right in with the nazi government of the USA.
I like chris37. He funny.
reagan-fanatic wades into Godwin's Law territory:
ACORN is performing the same duties for Zero and the dim party as the nazi brownshirts did for der fuhrer back in the 1930’s.
Welcome to the third reich v2.0, folks.
That one doesn't really need any commentary, does it? It's just pure comedic brilliance all on its own. Sigh...
[wipes away tears of mirth...]
Speaking of ACORN, Salvation gets in on the act:
ACORN is the reason this election was stolen from Coleman. Who knows how much money Sors gave the judges??
ACORN? Really? You actually think ACORN somehow played a roll in Coleman finally getting shown the door? Hoo-boy...
But wait! Salvation isn't the only one. SECURE AMERICA does, too:
As long as group like ACORN are legal and not stopped, no election can be considered valid
And also mortal19440:
ACORN!! I hate them, but they are very effective. Illegal, but effective.
And even Def Conservative:
Look, if the GOP doesn’t start to take on ACORN and similar organizations we can kiss free elections goodbye forever. I have been calling my Senators to get them on the ball to make SURE ACORN is not around for 2010 or 2012...
Man, I had no idea what a large debt of gratitude Senator Franken owes ACORN. I'll be damned...
Bobkk47 gets all philosophical on us:
We have to destroy the nation, in order to save it. I say let the Dems take this country down the road to ruin. Then, and only then, will the masses realize what they’ve done.
Bob, don't you realize that is exactly what has happened here???! Eight years of George W. was enough to get even a Saturday Night Live comedian elected to the Senate. We're in a Congressional "correction" phase at the moment.
devane67 has a theory:
Republicans never were a cohesive group, but Liberals are. They blindly follow whatever Obama puts forth.
Oh, dude, you have got to be kidding me. That's the funniest piece of absolute fiction I've read all day! You should spend some time over here at the Daily Kos to realize just how hilarious that is.
HapaxLegamenon places blame:
Thank you John McCain
Hapax, you don't understand: this is GOOD NEWS for John McCain. Duh.
dfwgator has words of wisdom:
So now Norm Coleman has the distinction of losing to Jesse Ventura and Al Franken.
I think that’s a message that he needs to hang it up.
Ya THINK???!
Steelers6 is a WATB:
Tell everyone you know this economy is heading for collapse, with 60 votes that will vote in lockstep on every key issue the Constitution of the United States has been repealed and the Socialist Republic of America will begin after our last Independence Day Celebration.
It should have never been close, Norm Coleman was a weak candidate, but Coleman was backstabbed by his lawyers, they could see they were excluding ballots from areas he ran strong and not in strong .
I think the Governor of Minnesota appoints the Supreme Court? So as you can see Pawlenty did a horrible job, there was clearly an equal protection violation in the recount let alone more ballots cast than voters that showed up.
Oh boo-hoo, Steelers6. Boo-fucking-hoo.
KC_Conspirator asks:
Fraud. How does it feel to have your civil liberties stolen people? Had enough yet?
Yes, actually, we have. That's why the Republicans got they asses handed to them in 2006 and 2008. Capiche?
Minority Republican has an idea:
IT’S TIME TO SECEDE!
Yes, you do that. Go secede or go Galt or something. Please. We insist.
chimera thinks it's a conspiracy:
This was lost the minute Coleman decided to put his faith and trust in the courts. If you are not a liberal, you will get no justice there. Ever since the 2000 election, every single contest that has been stolen by the 'Rats after the election was over and went to the courts has been resolved in favor of the 'Rats, in spite of mountains of evidence of fraud and "irregularities". Once the result is "in the books", the courts won't touch it. Just check out the WA state 2004 governor's election for proof.
This is why Soros and his band of rogues started their "Secretary of State Project" those years ago. They knew if they got control of the election apparatus in the states, they'd have total control, because they knew once an election was "blessed" by the SoS, the courts won't mess with it. So getting their hands on the SoS offices handed the 'Rats the keys to the kingdom.
The Liberal Courts? Really? Is that like the Liberal Media? I mean in the sense that it actually is a fiction you dreamed up with no basis in fact to support your belief? Ah. I thought so.
animal172 sees it in a global context:
What's the difference in the Minnesota vote and the way the voting went in Iran? We are officially a banana republic.
Tzimisce agrees:
US elections = Iranian elections
It's true. Meeenahsootah is juu-uust like Iran. Rii-iight...
Conservativegreatgrandma is ready!:
Maybe it's time to march on Minnestota and I'm not kidding. These thieves are stealing these elections and we're allowing them to get away with it.
I do not believe for one minute Franken won this election fair and square.
When do we gather in MN?
Why does that scene in Old School with Will Ferrell running naked down the road come to mind right now??? Oh, except she's a great grandma. That's kinda gross... (no offense to great grandmas or anything.)
95 Bravo knows just how the Iranians feel:
"where is my vote?" indeed!!
God help us all.
I hate this state.
Okay, everyone, we should all change our Twitter pictures purple (for the Vikes, of course) and change our Twitter location to "St.Paul/Minneapolis" to confuse the authorities. Do it NOW!
robert561 is in a pickle:
jessduntno wrote:
"If Pawlenty signs that without waiting for the Supremes, he will be signing his political death warrant, in my opinion."
Agreed to some extent, but he’s in a tight spot because if he doesn’t sign it, it looks just as bad that he’s not listening to his own state’s supreme court. State should rule over federal.
Oops. Kinda sucks when you have to live by the rules you've been fighting for all these years, eh, robert?
meandog predicts the future:
Well, I see a silver lining in these otherwise dark clouds. Firstly, the election of Franken(stein) was all about disatisfaction with George Bush and had very little to do with Norm Coleman. Now, Bush is gone. Mr. 0zero has the con but the ship of state is entering stormy waters of despair the likes that Bush never experienced. His was a tropical depression...this is gonna be a full blown hurricane. And sometime, probably by late 2013, Mr. Franken is going to be puking at the rail trying to hold on for dear life as the Democratic vessel begins to capsize on him because there will be a new commander on the bridge having taken over in 2012!
Hey, a Freeper can dream can't he?
Monkey Face is talkin' 'bout a rev-oh-loo-oo-shun...
It’s pretty depressing. We need to get the Minute Men busy recruiting in every middlesex, village and town, and storm the Bastille!
Or something. I just keep praying that Americans will wake up before we end up in a police state. At that point, I’m leaving. My passport is valid and I’m too old to have my things confiscated. Including my meager SS.
Oh, Monkey Face, you so sexeh when you get all insurgent and shit...
a fool in paradise asks:
The traitor who told our troops (on SNL) that their wives back home were screwing other guys and getting pregnant?
I think you're thinking of Tokyo Rose but I could be wrong... No. Wait. I'm not.
tobyhill opines:
The Rats can’t blame the GOP now for anything that fails or anything that passes but turns into a failure.
'S'all right by me. After eight years of it, I was beginning to get bored.
Apropos of absolutely nothing, Dr. Bogus Pachysandra launches this little shit missle:
Latest news is that Al Franken was the sperm donor for Michael Jackson’s kids!
Okay, recess is over. Back to 3rd grade, Doctor.
And, finally, a perfect parting shot from Cyman:
I absolutely hate it on days when I can’t find any news on FreeRepublic that cheers me up.
Cyman, please allow me to say this:
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!
[ahem...'scuse me]
Anyway, that's it for today. Off to the most-awesome Rothbury Festival for four solid days of The Dead, String Cheese Incident, Bob Dylan and so, so much more. But first: a shower!
P.S. - The Freepers are having a convention! It's true! Order tickets NOW!
P.P.S. - My wife has some awesome photos from last year's Rothbury Festival (the first one) HERE if anyone is interested. There are still photos and some amazing full-screen, 360° interactive panoramas with music from the Festival. Tres cool.
