He's currently destroying Tony Blankley handily. I think Clinton lit a fire under Al's ass.

1. got THAT! when's a dem had the fire like that in recent memory?
awe-inspiring, yet sad, for two reasons:

1) doesn't happen often enough

2) he'll be called unhinged/crazy/foaming, etc., like Dean and Clinton, or any other dem who dares raise his voice

5. I think he was fabulous.
His anger was followed by STRONG, FACTUAL arguments...he nailed Blankely. Did you see how red his face got when Al was reading him a passage from his OWN article. Blankely has no clothes. Al stripped him down to the bone. Right on!

3. What is with the "Alan" crap from Blankley? geez
I do believe Dems have had enough of the patronizing crap from the RW'ers. Al sure has.

6. Same thing as using "Democrat" party to me.
Condescending insult, IMHO.

11. Yep. I always thought his full name was Albert. Is it Alan?
The idea that those jackasses would be condescending after the unbelievable mess they have made out of the world is just mind-boggling.

4. agreed
Franken is on fire right now! He's not letting Blankley trot out his talking points without a vigorous defense.

In fact, I think that should be how we re-frame the argument when these guys grow balls and are accused of being "rabid". Nope, it's a "vigorous defense". :)

7. Al's great!
He has a command of facts that no one can dispute.

No criticism any reTHUG can hurl at him comes even close to addressing the issue he's sunk his teeth into at the time.

They have to use straw men and distraction to try to get him off track and he won't let them get away with it.

I love it!

Go, Al!!

:rofl:

8. Yes! Yes! Al took Tony apart. Hope that "defeated" look stays on
every right-wingers face now that some Dems are going for the jugular. I think we might see quite a bit of this until November 7th. More on now..gotta go.

17. Looks like the Dems "got the memo" to stop being pansies.
The only way we're going to win in Nov is to keep the repukes on the defensive for a change.
