Did Al Franken really say this? Do you think it's right?

Al Franken may have quoted Benjamin Franklin. It's a good quote and makes a very good point. Unfortunately, the key word here is "deserve."\n\nWe're constitutionally obligated to provide safety even to those lunk-heads who would try to usurp our rights out of their own fear.\n\nAlso, "liberty" is an unalienable right and can't be "deserved."\n\nIt's a bombastic quote that can't be put into practical use.

Al Franken thinks for himself, checks facts, and is sometimes funny.

Not literally. The statements are made figuratively. I suspect that you already know this.

No, people will say it anyway.  We live in an opinionated society, where freedom of speech is practiced to the extreme.  But I will say this...You, chicken boy, are a very nice man.

This was a twisted assumption that a lot of the rightwing jumped on during the 2000 election. If you go back and read the actual interview, that's not what he said. \n\nBut irregardless, who cares? hehe

Absolutely.  It's what this country is founded on.  If not everything you said would become subjective.  If the right person didn't like what you said you'd be screwed.  This way we know where the line is.  There isn't one.

No, it's all good.  You were right to face him with something to think about that may help him.  It sounds like constructive criticism that offended someone who needed to hear the truth.
