Kilmeade's Franken freak-out continues: "embarrassment," "hateful," "maniacal," "angry, evil," "bitter partisan"
July 01, 2009 2:46 pm ET
From the July 1 edition of Fox News Radio's Brian & The Judge:
Kilmeade later adds of Franken's victory: "I'm trying to black this out."
Previously:
Fox hosts on Franken victory: "in denial"; Franken and nation crazy; Coleman originally won
Claiming "it hurt" to call Franken "a senator from Minnesota," Kilmeade wonders: "[W]ho's safe now?"
Kilmeade is "in denial" that Franken, who "is barely sane," is now Senator

Franken drinks your milkshake, Kilmeade. Now go home and cry like the big baby you are while Franken goes to work for the MN citizens in DC.

I appreciate that people admire Goldwater, especially compared to the current crop of Republican officeholders, but let's not romanticize him too much.

The recount was automatic based on state laws. The margin of victory was less than 0.5%
The fees are because Al Franken was declared the winner twice and Coleman challenged the results twice.
Al Franken has been declared a winner three times, Jan 5, April 13, and June 30.
At least they aren't saying the election was a fraud, like many of their cohorts are.
Wow, that was sooooo "fair and balanced".
Seriously, Kilmeade is one pathetic lowlife teabagging scumbag.
I'd like to hear what Bill Orally has to say. He's rather convieniently on vacation this week. His head is probably spinning like a blender, knowing how much he hated Franken.
Now that's commedy!
Snoopy is that your family in the pictures or is that Robert Byrds family? You know your elder statesman that you hold in such high regard.
No
The ballots were properly handled and secured at all times. Procedure was to collect the absentee ballots at the courthouse and deliver them to the proper precincts on election night. When the 32 ballots in question were brought to the precinct after the polls closed the person delivering them found the precinct locked up and everyone gone home. The ballots were then brought back to the courthouse and were properly locked up for the night. They stayed there until precinct officials were contacted and arrangements were made to deliver them and have them counted.
Look it up. Your version simply never happened.

The 32 Minneapolis ballots were part of the normal delivery of absentee ballots late in the polling day, according to Election Director Cindy Reichert.
She said they were retained when they couldn't be delivered because some polling places had shut down for the day. She said the ballots were kept sealed until other election duties were completed and were being counted Saturday afternoon, with results to be delivered to the state on Monday.

Reichert is all too happy to provide an explanation. She says the “car ballot” story is “just not true,” painting a picture of normal balloting procedures twisted into something grotesquely misleading.
The “car ballot” story emerged Saturday from the mouth of Coleman lawyer Fritz Knaak, who, according to AP, told reporters, “We were actually told ballots had been riding around in her car for several days, which raised all kinds of integrity questions.”
Knaak never provided a source and did not return two MinnPost calls for comment. However, he was already backing off his story at the same press event. As that day’s Pioneer Press noted, “Knaak said he feels assured that what was going on with the 32 ballots was neither wrong nor unfair.”
Before getting into the details, she makes three fundamental points:
1. The ballots were never in her car.
2. The ballots were never in anyone’s car for several days.
3. The ballots were never lost or forgotten, and spent Election Night until counting day in secure city facilities.
Just keep repeating the discredited Limborg version of this story however. I shows how uninformed you are
and yes they did count the military vote....guess what. they all came down for franken.
awww too bad so sad
No, he didn't. All of the legitimate votes were cast by then. The preliminary count, using less accurate methods, indicated a small lead for Coleman. That was why the recount, using more accurate methods was required.
... then evry vote that was found in the trunks of cars and God knows where else ALL went to Franken Freak? - fishergirlusmc
No, both candidates gained in their ballot counts in the immediate post-election canvassing that takes place after every election. Elsewhere you can see where I show you your error in the car trunk assertion.
I like that math. - fishergirlusmc
You like fantasy math?

Knaak also said a Minneapolis attorney reassured Coleman's campaign that no one but an elected official had access to the 32 ballots and there was no tampering.
Knaak is Colemans own attorney.
Robert Byrd WAS KKK a long time ago and has spent about 40 years appologizing and repudiating the Klan. Is that really the same thing as wearing Klan robes?
The recount went all the way to the State Supreme Court. They declared Franken the winner.
I don't remember many on the right complaining when the US Supreme Court decided the presidential election of 2000.
hey i got a conspiracy for you: Bush had Paul Wellstone killed to pave the way for Coleman.
Byrd was never a grand dragon in the KKK, he was a member, of which he has apologized innumberable times over the years.
People are corrupt sometimes, but lately, we've seen a lot more corruption on the republican end of things.
I don't care about NY. Don't live there. That's your problem.
We have had a few corrupt dems, but when exposed, we have in large part voted em out or demanded they step down (blagovich comes to mind). Today's republican party rarely does that (craig, ensign, to name a few).
As for the rest, you aren't going to hurt my feelings if you direct negative comments at me, but my family is different. Involving anyone's family in an insult is just uncalled for.
And the biggest reason was, wait for it, because Lincoln was a republican, and he freed the slaves, among other things, that they didn't so much agree with.
and to stretch it even further you can trace their lineage back to Jefferson
you cant be talking about robert byrd because he was never that high up on the totem poll.
Of course not. YOu are MUCH stupider than snoopy ever was or will ever be. What was that about Union butt boys BUTT UGLY?
You've got a pretty screwed up idea of where we are and how we got here.
It's official: Al Franken won! He's going to be sworn in next week, and become the 60th vote in the Democratic caucus.
I just signed a card congratulating him on his victory. Want to congratulate him, too?

Um...if you have no idea what kind of person he is, what RIGHT do you have in judging him?!
You, Brian Kilmeade, are one of the sorest losers I have ever heard. I'd swear that you tried to vote for Coleman yourself!!!

And yet this man feels he needs to throw insults and judge Franken. Mhm.
Later, he called Bill Maher an "unfunny hack" who wants to "destroy America." Meanwhile, "I don't watch him. I don't watch his filth."
Right-wingers always know everything there is to know about everything, just BECAUSE. No research necessary. The Earth is 6000 years old, America was founded as a Christian Nation, Hollywood hates America, Bill Maher is hateful, ACORN steals elections. If you don't just accept that, YOU are the ignoramous.
