1. Franken?

I don't even listen to Franken anymore.

10. Well, he should be investigating not "waiting"
That's the problem with the regular media, they
want to be "spoonfed" what to think/say/know.

What use is AAR if they can't investigate?

20. I haven't listened to Al since election day
I tried once or twice to listen to him after election day. It made me gag, his denial. I can't believe I had so much faith in the guy. He should at least be supportive of the investigations, not just assuming everything was fine.

3. I only started listening around 1:15pm
I haven't heard anything. I only have him on because my local radio host is not on air today. I might switch to Hartmann.

6. I rarely listen anymore :(
and it's a shame, because I loved his book. I just feel he hasn't given enough coverage of the fraud/irregularities/disenfranchisement issues

8. I gave up on Franken after the election
Edited on Wed Dec-08-04 02:06 PM by BattyDem
I used to love him, even though I didn't always agree with him, but when he went into "get over it" mode I quit listening.

13. Ya mean Senator Franken YEAH RIGHT
Ol'Al boy is protecting himself for that senate run that is rumored...His show is just nonsense..He has good guests sometimes..but his OBSESSION with Rush Loonbaugh and O'Reilly is TOO MUCH...And ol'Katherine is just such a hag!...The hearings were great..it is time the Franken show goes over to MSNBC where it belongs and make room for more progressive talk.....

14. I should call and tell him that I'll call all my friends in Minnesota
and tell them not to vote for him in 2006 or 2008 or whenever he runs.

21. I can't stand him. He's doing the American people a great injustice
By not really acknowleding this Fraudulent election.

Also, by not discussing it, he's sending a very definite signal that it is of no importance.

I'm listening to the Air America news now, and no mention.......

Thank goodness for Randi, Malloy and Laura Flanders.

22. Yeah, what is up with Franken, Michael Moore, Bill Maher, and . . .
other lucky they have the airways folks? I saw MM on Jay Leno last week and he was wearing a suit which cracked Jay up. Moore said, "Well, if you cannot beat them, you might as well join them." (jokingly). Then, Jay started talking about the accusations of voter fraud, and then words I could not believe came out of Moore's mouth. This is not verbatim so do not hold me to the whole comment; however, Moore stated, "Bush won this election legally." HUH???? Are these guys playing it down to keep the neocons focusing on something else? Kind of playing the neocons game against them? If they are, pretty clever. If they aren't, then they are selling out on all of us that have questions regarding the voting.

Randi Rhodes and Mike Malloy are kicking butt on the issue of election fraud. FINALLY, CSPAN showed the meeting today and what did we see? Every damn body was cut off. Give the people time to make their statement. We never get to speak our voice across the airways or ask questions . . . oh, only during election time we can meet them (if you live in one of the states that can decide the election);otherwise, forget it. I think John Edwards came to Northern Virginia for one day. Whoop-te-doo-dah-day!

Remember to go to CSPAN and download the meeting and record to DVD if you have the capabilities. That's what I'm going to do.

Today could be the beginning of the end . . .

26. Moore campaigned as hard for Kerry as Kerry himself did.
I don't think we can fault him. Franken and Maher are comedians by trade, not politicians. I too would rather have everyone shouting "fraud" from the roof tops, but that's up to the 20% of us that believe it, and we won't gain allies by disparaging those who haven't seen the light yet.
