Body Slamming for Free Speech

Al Franken body slammed a heckler at a Dean rally Yesterday.

"I got down low and took his legs out," said Franken afterwards.

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.

"I'm neutral in this race but I'm for freedom of speech, which means people should be able to assemble and speak without being shouted down."

Al Franken, who is purportedly an intelligent human being, has yet to understand the irony of his own statements.
