Al Franken...is this for real?

And of course the apologists for the dems are going to say it is no big deal. But there has always been enough red flags for people to question his integrity, which is quite questionable as a representative of the people. With all the taxpdodgers on the current administration I guess the bar has been set. Franken was involved in questionable financial dealings with the start up of Air America and he has not answered to them publicly. He will need to do so now.

Here is a great interview by Franken in the Rolling Stone:

A great example of who is going to represent MN in the Senate.
.

So what you are saying is that there are no facts in the Malkin post other than that he signed a settlement agreement and did not disclose it on the air.

Certainly not facts about illegal or unethical behavior.

And the rest is innuendo.

But you never let the facts get in the way....I understand that.

I will continue to rack him back and forth across the coals and expose the hipocrisy

Move to Minn and vote against him in 2014 if he bothers you that much.

No there are plenty of facts that point to Franken and Air America and they were involved in some very shady lending practices. Franken isn't talking. That is a fact. Now he is a public figure he will have to weather the heat any of his detractors care to rain down upon him.

Cite those facts please, rather than innuendo...specifically regarding Franken and shady lending practices...as opposed to the Air America management.

Do you always hold employees responsible for actions of management...or just when it suits your agenda?

I'm not defending Franken...just looking for the plentiful facts.

Here is a nice summary. Like I said there are enough factual red flags to question Franken's integrity. Not to mention the quotes of the Rolling Stone interview are another measure of what the new standard for decorum can be for the majority.

So in your mind, Franken, the employee, is responsible for the acts of the management of Air America.

Franken had direct knowledge of the deal because he paid $50,000 in an attempt to cover for the station. Again, follow my words, enough red flags to question his integrity combined with his public comments.
