Bachmann Is To Right As Franken Is To Left
The local media has a history of portraying each and every Democrat in office as mainstream. Sure, some are probably fairly open minded on the issues, but most have been stridently liberal. One of the biggest travesties in Minnesota reporting would have to be the silence of Al Franken’s radical views. He somehow managed to slip through the election as a moderate.
You can take the foaming at the mouth liberal screamer out of the radio booth, but you can’t take the liberal out of the screamer.
Franken to headline Netroots Nation
[...]
Netroots Nation, founded in 2006 as YearlyKos (an offshoot of the popularDailyKos blog), will take place July 22-25 at the Rio in Las Vegas. Think of it as the liberal alternative to the conservatives’ CPAC (at which both Tim Pawlenty and Michele Bachmann spoke) and you’re not far off.
Bachmann is portrayed by most newslapdogs around these parts as a fringe right wing ideologue. She is conservative but her issues match a far larger swath of the public then most professional opiners will admit. Now Franken on the other hand shares views with some of the most fringe elements of American politics. He proudly wears his Progressive politics on his sleeve but the media here doesn’t bother to report just how far left Franken is.
Bachmann yes. franken. No. He screams at CEOs, other members of Congress. Goes to kook events where America is thought of as the bad guy, and yet he is somehow just a regular old guy. He is willing to let Unions have the freedom to Goon. He’s a lapdog to President Obama and his radical agenda.
I just thought someone should put this out there.
Franken is a radical plain and simple. We can’t wait 6 years to start talking about this.
