thinkprogress.org — Yesterday, the Ohio Republican Party sent out a news release attacking Rep. Sherrod Brown for enlisting the support of Franken. The release said Franken compared conservatives to Nazis ?who should drink poison and die.? An accompanying photo showed Franken dressed up like a baby bunny, wearing adult diapers. Both the photo and quote were made-up.

Do you mental midgets realize you keep linking to a site that is pointing out the fact that Franken never said that?

FFS, stop burying Koosebane, he's absolutely right: until the press release is verified it's quite likely a hoax. The image is so crude it's hard to imagine a campaign pro sending out something like that. Burying Koosebane is shooting the messenger.

Ben Stein's pretty funny. It pains me to admit it, because he's had some nasty things to say about the gays lately; but it's hard to deny that his schtick was, at least for a few minutes in the 80s, genuinely funny.

Anyone that would go out of their way for a Franken endorsement would lose my vote in a heartbeat. Anyone he endorses is not what the nation needs, we need people that will work together to solve problems, not idealogues.

Let's see if I can help you out on a little something. The Thinkprogress entry this digg story links to is basically a blog. That links to, as it's source, the cincinnati.com blog. This purported news release was purportedly put out by the Ohio Republican Party, but there are no actual factual citations in that blog that actually support the existence of this purported news release. never mind that news release/press releases are rarely, if ever, actual news, but rather information from businesses, political parties, and frankly any hack with a fax machine and the ability to type "DATELINE CINCINNATI" at the beginning of whatever they write.hope that clears it up for you.
