Liberal "funny" man Al Franken has never been able to form a cogent argument. I think he finally realized that his positions lack a factual basis, and since he can't argue on an intellectual level, he has decided to wrestle those who don't agree with him. From the article:

Franken emerged from the crowd and charged one male protester, grabbing him with a bear hug from behind and slamming him onto the floor.

"I was a wrestler so I used a wrestling move," Franken said.


The article went on to state:

Franken said he's not backing Dean but merely wanted to protect the right of people to speak freely.

How did he propose to protect people's right to speak? By tackling the protester and not allowing him to speak!:

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