Al Franken's Left Is Out Of Control

From Michelle Malkin.

It's a clip of the last few minutes of an exclusive promotional sales pitch for Al Franken's new book, "The Truth (with jokes)," featured at Amazon.com. (Thanks to my web guy, Mark Jaquith, for the technical assist.) The video skit blurs truth and fiction as a psychotic Al Franken kicks a man potraying a conservative reader in the groin, smashes a stool over his back, and grins as another man playing one of Franken's fans cracks a bottle over the conservative's head.

Just for clarification, we are talking about Stuart Smalley who....

...is a caring nurturer, a member of several twelve-step programs, but not a licensed therapist. His show "Daily Affirmations" is on a cable access channel. The show is geared to help people with mental disabilities, such as overeating, drug abuse, and alcoholism.

Stuart himself grew up with a dysfunctional family. His father was "a big stinking drunk" who called chubby Stuart, "a waste of space." Stuart's mom is "a total loon and in complete denial about Dad's drinking," while his brother is a dope addict. Still, Stuart maintains a good and positive attitude throughout his show, while helping people solve their problems.

I know, Stuart Smalley was just a character, but is Franken's 'character' in the conservative nut kicking skit not representative of his true self?

Dave Pierre at Newsbusters asks:

Would a Sean Hannity or Bill O'Reilly ever get away with a publicity video like this without an "outrage" in the liberal media?

Malkin's best point is this...

Nope, because a) Hannity and O'Reilly wouldn't dream of making such a video in the first place and b) no company in its right mind (or rather, left mind) would think of hosting such a video even if a conservative personality were nuts enough to make one.

Could it be any clearer that the Left is able to say and do anything, while the Right would be crucified for doing the same?

Do you still doubt the Main Stream Media is biased?

I heard once, and I can't remember who said it, but...

When your enemy is imploding, get out of their way.

It seems the Democrats are imploding, so I'm going to get out of their way!

It's OK Al Franken, because, you're good enough, you're smart enough, and doggonit, people like you!

Well, except that they don't.

You're an idiot.

Good luck on the failure of your book, like your radio show.
