Norm Coleman sent out a fundraising email to supporters today. He says:
I’m tired of the division and angry rhetoric that gets spewed by so many politicians.
…
Dividing our friends and neighbors with petty partisan attacks won’t solve our energy crisis.
The title of the email:
“Franken’s Attacks = Big Bucks From Legions of Angry Liberals”
How ironic… and then he attacks Franken throughout the entire email. Also, in the email Coleman offers no solutions. Meanwhile, Al Franken has been touring Minnesota for months offering solutions. Including solutions on the energy crisis.
All Norm Coleman cares about is being a Senator. He apparently likens the examination of his corruption in Washington and his voting record as “attacks.” Then he spews vicious and angry rhetoric, such as saying Franken has an “attack machine” that has “poisoned the well of our political process.” Now, that’s vicious. Either way, isn’t the contrary true? The whole email is a load. See for yourself (all three links point to the same Coleman fundraising page):

This is typical of today’s “Do as we say; not as we do” hypocrites in the GreedOverPrinciples party.
Pretty funny coming from the guy who approves of attack ad after attack ad after attack ad…..
That’s funny, actually. Although “Franken’s Attacks = Big Bucks From Legions of Angry Liberals” is so true.
Point of view tells us that “angry rhetoric” can only apply to the other side. The same words on our side are “common sense.”
Hey Sean! (waves)
Hey Patrick…who’s angry?
So for Aaron’s post to be accurate being called a Liberal and or angry is a derogatory remark. It would also need to be true that Franken’s energy policy suggestions equate to a “solution” for something. Since his suggestions don’t really do anything of note and he hasn’t defined what the “crisis” is, other than people getting pissy about it being more expensive to pollute by pulling their kids water skiing or to drive to Target to by a new Nintedo Wii game, I don’t think calling Franken’s proposals a “solution” is an accurate description.
Coleman may be a tool but his letter happens to be fairly accurate. If you want to pretend to care about the issues go after him on the issues rather than make stuff up about his fund raising letters.
