Sen. Al Franken at Netroots Nation
Timothy Karr has a nice summation of Sen. Al Franken's keynote speech at Netroots Nation this year.
Sen. Franken to the Netroots: Only You Can Stop the Corporate Takeover of Free Speech:
Over the weekend, Sen. Al Franken (D.-Minn.) made the corporate takeover of our media, and the government's acquiescence to these corporations, frighteningly clear. Franken told more than 2,000 bloggers and organizers attending the Netroots Nation conference in Las Vegas that our media system is at risk everywhere we turn - from our free speech online to the growing power of companies who own a massive number of media outlets. Read on...
Al did a fantastic job. Part one is above. Parts two, three and four are below the fold.
Part two.
Part three.
Part four.
Some people say he worked his way through college as a Vegas showgirl...

Larry Craig.
For fair and balanced coverage, we turn to... Anne Coulter. Yes, Anne, I was laughing as well just then. But not for the same reason as you, of course.
Al's a smart guy, and his heart is certainly in the right place.
in the dark morass of Congress...Like Grayson, and B.Sanders! lets thank them..1.866.220.0044!
Garcon', table for one for Mr. Franken.
Vote GOP and move forward to the 18th Century.
"The Comedian" was on fire. That gnawing of teeth you heard was from the O'Reilly Factor.
All the while I see the rotating Fox logo in the left bottom corner and I think by myself; "can this be real???"
You know why don't you? Because Foxaganda had their gang of right wing partisan hacks there ready to tear Franken and his speech apart led by none other that that hallowed out heron junkie looking bomb throwing corpse Ann Coulter.
Franken/Grayson 2012 or,
Grayson/Franken 2012
this is not a joke
Then you need to increase your dosage. ;o)
Vote GOP and move forward to the 18th Century.
an all jewish ticket, if they were to win, would be the last straw for the bigot contingent in 'murica and will lead to large number of heads exploding in unison after being pushed to the limit after these vermin having to "endure" a half black guy as president.
In other words: it would be effing awesome!
I don't care that much for Obama's policies, but the fact that he is pushing the white Christian bigot sector of our population towards the deep end provides a silver lining.

Your current president does not have the balls, nor desire, to lead.
Foxaganda hack at the end of the clip: " Al Franken delivering red meat to a very partisan audience".
Exhibit A of what Franken was talking about. Imagine if Foxaganda and the corporations had complete control to broadcast all middle American mainstream concerns as nothing other than "red meat to a Democrat partisan audience". Thankfully the clip ended before Coulter could start running her hallow sunken boney mouth.
Same speech in one clip recorded by TheUpTake.
No Faux News propaganda.
Better quality video too.
When will government of the people, by the politicians, for the corporations perish from this Earth?
Not soon enough!
???
A truther convention probably gets more than 2,000.
I'm a lot like Ricky Gervais and the Golden Globes: Why?
A truther convention probably gets more than 2,000.
What? Pizzas? Denials for a date? Self inflicted shot gun blasts? Intimate encounters in the lavatory?
Vote GOP and move forward to the 18th Century.
Better quality video.
No "Fox News" stamp on the screen either.
Recorded by TheUpTake - whom Franken praises for their tireless efforts on his behalf during the seemingless endless recount battle.
Franken "Net neutrality is the First Amendment issue of our time."
When will government of the people, by the politicians, for the corporations perish from this Earth?
Not soon enough!
But, Al...what if I can't afford the internets?
I thought food and housing were the First Amendment rights of our time?
Vote GOP and move forward to the 18th Century.
God Bless!
regarding net neutrality issues. It is fairly important to protect what is basically the last bastion of free speech left.
CTHULHU 2012 "Why vote for a lesser evil?"
One small, fast, two pizza team to clean code. Benefits include beverage, lot's of time off. Must be able to work one hour a year.
Excuse me for a bit...I need to go color my netroots.
Vote GOP and move forward to the 18th Century.
Four or five mega-corporations already control our politics; why should we be surprised that the massive media corporations are positioning themselves to end net neutrality?
Tired and frustrated just doesn't cover it, Al.
As one of the chronically unemployed/underemployed, I have struggled to maintain my internet connection--primarily because selling on eBay adds a wee bit to my now meager income. However, I am now at the point where I cannot pay for anything, including my rent and utilities.
How do I fight back, when I cannot even support myself?
At the end of this month, I will most likely be homeless, unless I can sell enough of my belongings to hold on one more month.
All of my energy is being spent just surviving, so you tell me how do I fight back, when I cannot even support myself?
