A Gay-basher in the Senate next year? It's OK--he's a Liberal.

Well actually it's not OK with anyone not a lefty-whack-job supporter of hate-spewing Al Franken, one of the top dogs at the oh-so-corrupt and oh-so-bankrupt Air America radio network. Fresh from pocketing hundreds of thousands of dollars from the network that was only able to put him on the air by ripping off the funds of the Gloria Wise Boys and Girls Club of New York,(Read about the scam and indictments here.) Franken says that he wants to run for a seat in the US Senate. Of course he wants to run as a Democrat, no doubt in the footsteps of that other great Dem humanitarian Senator Robert Byrd, (D)--KKK. And like former Klansman Byrd, Franken has a documented history of hate speech towards a minority group. According to these reports from Gay Patriot and Lloydletta's Nooz, Franken used to think that it was funny to mock gays and tell anyone who'd listen that he wanted them all dead. This is a quote from Franken when the Hasty Puddling show reportedly refused to put a gay-themed skit that he'd written on stage:

I just don't like homosexuals. If you ask me, they're all homosexuals in the Pudding. Hey, I was glad when that Pudding homosexual got killed in Philadelphia.

Real nice. Real tolerant. And so typical of the Left that this gets ignored by the media, gay-rights groups and the Democratic Party.

But it's not going to be ignored here. Al Franken's foul comments will remain here and on sites of other people who are dedicated to making sure that vile stuff like this continues to be a part of Franken's baggage. This guy in the Senate? I hope not. But Byrd is old and the Dems'll be shopping for a replacement bigot before too much longer so I guess that anything's possible, especially if the rest of us let it happen.
