Al Franken Protects Free Speech...
...by physically assaulting the Protestors! (NY Post Article)
- Franken yesterday body-slammed a demonstrator to the ground after the man tried to shout down Gov. Howard Dean.
Franken emerged from the crowd and charged one male protester, grabbing him with a bear hug from behind and slamming him onto the floor.
Franken said he's not backing Dean but merely wanted to protect the right of people to speak freely. "I would have done it if he was a Dean supporter at a Kerry rally," he said.
Incredible. A bear hug tackle? Talk about Crushing of Dissent! Why isn't Instapundit all over this?
Update:
The local police better darn well pursue charges against Franken as vigourously as they've been going after Rush Limbaugh, eh? Or else I say Rush should get one free tackle of the Liberal Protestor of his choice!
