COLEMAN NOW CALLS FOR END TO ALL ATTACK ADS
"Norm Coleman's latest political ploy rings more hollow than usual when you consider he has paid the person responsible for smear calls nearly $2 million and Jeff Larson remains the treasurer of Norm Coleman's PAC, a member of his inner circle, and his landlord," writes Franken communications director Andy Barr. "Norm Coleman is still paying Jeff Larson for the same services Larson is providing to the RNC and to the McCain campaign. If he's sincere about this, he ought to fire him."

18. "An Asshole in the Wind"
Goodbye Norman C
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your game

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like an asshole in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just disgusted
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did

Loneliness was tough
The toughest role you ever played
Minnesota created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid
Even when you died
Oh the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that Normy was found in the nude

Goodbye Norman C
From the young man in the 22nd row
Who sees you as something as more than sexual
More than just a political ho

5. He's going meta here.
I call on Al Franken, the DNC, the RNC, the DSCC, the NRSC and any other organization engaged in negative attacks on any candidate to bring them to an immediate end.

11. What about McCain's robo calls?
Which are run by Norm's friend's company? Did Norm call for an end to that?

14. Next ¶
Coleman is the latest Republican to put some distance between himself and the RNC's robo-calls, which invoke Obama's ties to 60s radical William Ayers. Earlier, Maine's Susan Collins said of the calls, “They don’t serve John McCain well. This kind of campaign call does not reflect the kind of leader that he is.” A spokesperson for Collins told the same publication, “These kind of tactics have no place in Maine politics. Sen. Collins urges the McCain campaign to stop these calls immediately.”

Prior to his call for the negative ads to be pulled, Coleman was overwhelmingly seen as running the more negative campaign, according to a Minnesota Public Radio/University of Minnesota poll.




Of course, it's horseshit.

6. OK boys, tell her to warm up!



Too bad, so sad, we're glad.

Bye-bye, Norm. Hope to never hear from you ever again.

13. Attacks by Dems are nothing more than bringing truth to light. GOP uses baseless fear ads.
BIG DAMN DIFFERENCE. Like Franken said, his (Franken's) ads are negative by nature because they are about Coleman. There's nothing BUT negatives with most of these Repug rats.

15. The Cheney-orchestrated switcharoo (Coleman/Pawlenty)...
Why on earth is this not being brought up by Franken?

16. In other words, Coleman calls on Franken to suspend his campaign
Good luck with that, Norm. You won't be missed.

17. That's funny because I just saw an attack ad proclaiming that "Al Franken's taxes will DESTROY us"
This was from the US chamber of commerce. How about YOU and your attack dogs go FIRST Coleman. :puke:

Coleman has run the most disgusting, despicable campaign, so this is just RICH coming from him.
