Summary: Thank God For Al Franken
Review: Great Book! It's about time someone exposed the truth. Franken does it in an entertaining, yet educational light. I think everyone in America should read this book.

Summary: Finally! People are speaking out!
Review: Great book, Al. Thankfully, Franken, Moore and others on the left are FINALLY standing up and telling the right they can't keep pushing us around. When bullies are confronted they show their true colors and run. And that's what they are, Coulter, O'Rielly, Bim-baugh and the others. Loudmouth, windbag, bullies. Stand up, people! Go, Al! Go, Mike!By the way: I've seen several reviews here complaining that Al's book is not "fair and balanced". Well guess what dough-heads . . . it's SATIRE! Of course it isn't "fair and balanced". His book is clearly an unapologetic, one-sided, satirical expose of right wing lies and hate propaganda. His point in deliberately calling his book "fair and balanced" is to demonstrate that he's as "fair and balanced" toward the right as they are toward the left. He's pointing out it's ridiculous for anyone (or any organization) to claim that they are the only source to be trusted. Get it? It's satire. It's humor. Don't be so dense. And speaking of dense . . . What's with the guy quoting Hall and Oates song lyrics? Hey, that's an astute literary critique for sure. That's the best you can come up with? Hoo, whee. If I was that dude I'd start getting really embarrassed right about now.

Review: Great examination and exposure of all of the attacks you hear coming from the Right about the irresponsibility of Liberals. First book of Franken's that I've read. It's funny, and you'll get information you won't get elsewhere.

Summary: Dear Al "the freak" Franken,
Review: Great job! It seems you gave every gullible liberal a tool to use against conservatives. It's a shame that these readers are only aware of SOME lies told by these conservative pundits. As good as you exposed these lies I think books by Hannity, O'Reilly, and Coulter are still worth getting. How can I buy books by these liars you ask? Because not everything they're saying is a lie. As a matter of fact, MOST of everything they're saying is true. Let me use you as an example... Most of everything you're saying in LIES is true, but there are some things that are false (yet the expose is worth the price of the book). There's a little something I found out about you, Al. You lied to every single individual reading your book. As a matter of fact, you're just as much a liar as the very people you claim to be liars! Where is this lie? Let me refresh your memory, Al. Look up chapter 33 entitled "Abstinence Heroes." I think you know where I'm going with this, don't you? You wrote to Attorney General John Ashcroft requesting an abstinence story. You claimed in this letter that you "received wonderful testimonies from HHS Secretary Tommy Thompson, William J. Bennett, White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer, Cardinal Egan, Senator Rick Santorum, and National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice." You received these wonderful stories? Well, if you did, then why is it in chapter 34 you claimed "no one had an abstinence story to share with the readers"? Go ahead, Al. Look it up. It's your book. There it is in black and white. No one received a story even after you said you did. You said you received a story from Thompson (which was a lie), from Bennett (which was a lie), from Fleischer (which was a lie), from Egan (which was a lie) from Santorum (which was a lie) and from Rice (which was a lie). Still denying the truth? Okay. Why not look up dubya, dubya, dubya, dot, thesmokinggun, dot, com, forwardslash, archive, forwardslash, frankenabs1, dot, html. You'll see it there: in your letter of apology to Ashcroft (which you didn't have the guts to say "I lied") you said you didn't receive any abstinence story. But, here's another thing... and, I love this part... you're a thief! You stole stationery from Shorenstein Center and used a Harvard letterhead, even when you knew you weren't suppose to! Congratulations, Franken, you're an even bigger moron than Michael Moore! And, your integrity goes down the toilet as far as I'm concerned. By the way, did you steal your jokes from TeamFranken? Did you get some help? As far as I can tell, outside of your book, you're not really funny. Although, I must admit you are funny looking. Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but one things for sure, you're funny in the head. You did write a good book though, Al (notice the three stars). So, don't fret. You're probably wondering if this is the only lie that I can come up with. Want more? Okay, how about when you mentioned that COLMES was the "only liberal at Fox"? Uh, did you forget that Geraldo Rivera has his own show on Fox, too? And, yes, he is a liberal. "I ADMIT IT, I'M A LIAR! BUT, I DON'T TELL HALF-TRUTHS LIKE HANNITY! DOGGONE IT, PEOPLE LIKE ME!" Okay, look up chapter 14. The chapter about Hannity and COLMES. You claimed that Hannity had more words to say than COLMES after Bush's State of the Union address. I want all of your captive-liberal-readers to know that as an avid watcher of Fox News, Hannity and COLMES would interchange. Meaning, there are shows where COLMES is given more time to speak than Hannity! Time some shows and you'll see that COLMES would have more time than Hannity and visa versa. Furthermore, yes, COLMES did say to USA Today that he was "quite moderate". But, if you watched Hannity and COLMES as close as you say you do, then you would know that COLMES is apt at saying "I'm a proud liberal." Look up some of the transcripts and you'll know I'm right. Honestly, Al, are there any social or economic issues that you and COLMES would really disagree with? Nice try, Al. But, your half-truths, lies, and thievery won't fade this reader. Half-truths like the one where you claim conservatives accuse liberals of hating American. But, you don't mention that the majority of American-bashers are coming from the left! Who do you think the majority of war activists are? Leftists, you moron! And, you accuse Hannity of half-truths! Speaking of anti-war protestors, you deliberately took Bill O'Reilly's debate with Jeremy Glick totally out of context. And, what would a discussion of Franken be without Bill O'Reilly? You mentioned that Glick signed an "advertisement opposing the war in Iraq", but it wasn't just any advertisement. It was by Not In Our Name. Why didn't you mention that, Al? Maybe it's because NION is known for its leftist anti-American rhetoric. Apparently NION believes the Gulf War and the removal of Manuel Noriega in Panama can be compared to the terrorist attack on 9/11! As a matter of fact, Glick used the No Spin Zone to spout off more anti-American nonsense. You should read the transcript again, especially when Glick interrupted and personally insulted O'Reilly when he claimed that O'Reilly evoked 9/11 to rationalize everything from domestic plunder to imperialistic aggression worldwide. And, you accuse Coulter of citing things "but totally misrepresent what it says"! Sorry, Al, after reading your book, I was only convinced that conservatives are just as capable of lying as liberals. I would cite you as an example. Good day, coolguy.

Summary: Al Franken and liberals love to hate
Review: Great review from the Bakersfield reader. Most liberals suffer from self-loathing and typically invoke their love for "the children" when in fact they are all too willing to use tragedy to suit their agendas, whether it be Al Franken dragging the Wellstone family through his mud and bile, or Al Gore using the near-death of his son to garner sympathy. Liberals like Franken refuse to confront their own dark sides. While they recite their politically-correct sweet talk, their inner selves secretly hope that more soldiers die in Iraq so President Bush doesn't get re-elected, but oh yeah, they "support the troops". Scratch the surface of the typical liberal and underneath a monster lurks.
