Ok, yes Franken lied, but he lied to those he was trying to prank/spoof.
He had no intention of lying to his audience. Once he got any outrageous letters from those high and mighty types he would have put it in his book and everyone would have known the full story.
That's the difference between him and the blatant liars of Limbaugh, Hannity and Coulter. Frankens "lies" are equivalent to a police undercover sting.
Limbaugh lie:
I listened to him this one time and he has these fake commercials. This one in particular was about an SUV that was so tiny the two people couldn't fit in it properly, had no cargo room, took forever to get up to speed, and the top speed was still implied to be around 25 mph. Yes it was a stupid joke but electric motors provide more torque than internal combustion engines etc. The whole commercial I am sure convinced many dittoheads that electic cars are a step down and will never be viable.
I could, and many people have written books on the lies of Limbaugh. Al Franken for one. Maybe you should read it Ustwo. I've read a Coulter book, (library loan, would never pay for them) You should try doing the same for "Rush Limbaugh is a big fat idiot."
