Franken to Hannity: You just got SERVED

I am really, really disappointed that no local affiliate carries Air America, and I'm not about to get XM radio - at least, not until the Sopranos is done for this season. Franken does have a sort of nascent blog, and brilliantly eviscerates Sean Hannity's (and the remainer of the proto-fascist right's) disgraceful, cheap and ignorant attacks on Kerry. You absolutely must read this in its entirety. Here's the intro: "About a week ago on Hannity & Colmes, Sean Hannity spewed a litany of lies about John Kerry being a flip-flopper and tax raiser, lies that came directly from the Bush campaign. Oddly, Alan Colmes did not respond. So we will. Hannity said: 'Here's a guy that supported gay marriage, now against it. Here's a guy that by my count has had six separate different unique positions on the war on Iraq. Here's a guy that voted for the $87 billion to fund the war before he voted against it. Here's a guy that was for the Patriot Act. Now against it. No Child Left Behind, for it, now against it. Here's a guy that supported -- was against the death penalty for terrorists who kill Americans. Now he's for it. The only thing he seems consistent on is that, throughout the 19 years he was in the Senate, he voted to raise taxes consistently 350 times. What does that tell us about a man that has no core values or principles? Franken takes these on one at a time. With actual facts and quotes. Would that Hannity, Limbaugh and the rest of the chickenhawk parrots could do the same.
