Franken Smackdown

Al Franken a LaRouche supporter at a Dean Rally:

"'I got down low and took his legs out,' said Franken afterwards.
Franken said he's not backing Dean but merely wanted to protect the right of people to speak freely. 'I would have done it if he was a Dean supporter at a Kerry rally,' he said.

And if it'd been a Dean supporter at a Bush rally...?

'I'm neutral in this race but I'm for freedom of speech, which means people should be able to assemble and speak without being shouted down.'

Because Howard Dean's voice is so utterly stifled otherwise, right?

Here's my question; I have not seen a LaRouche supporter who was less than 60 years old since Jimmy Carter was in office. I'm dying to see what sort of opponent Franken, a high school wrestler, smacked down.
