Hello, this is the Nameless blogger, author of the Fair and Balanced Nameless Blog. Late last year, I found out through a reviewer on Amazon.com about a website called Frankenlies.com, so I headed on over. I was surprised to find that unlike most anti-Franken websites and articles, which dabbled in personal attacks on Franken, partisan disagreements, and unspecified charges that Franken is a "smear artist", this website gave actual factual rebuttal to Al Franken's claims. At first I was worried because it seemed as if Franken was doing what individuals such as Ann Coulter, Rush Limbuagh, Sean Hannity, et al. were doing: lying. However, as I took a closer look at and researched the claims presented by the website, many of them turned out partisan disagreements, rebuttals that had nothing to do with a specific claims of Al's, straw-man, arguments, and most annoyingly of all, incorrect information. Despite the flaws of this website, both Bill O'Reilly and World Net Daily have promoted its claims, and many rank-and-file conservatives take Frankenlies.com as the Gospel. I modestly hope to change that.
I have been involved in several projects, but so far this is my most prevalent one. If you don't know me (or even if you do and need a reminder), here's a short list of my other projects:
Again, my main blog.
My project on Ann Coulter's Treason.
A short work on Rush Limbaugh's "56%" Lie.
And, of course, the very blog you are reading now...
If you read the reviews of Al Franken’s book, “Lies and the Lying Liars who Tell Them”, you see many 1-star reviews that say “GOTO FRANKENLIES.COM! GOTO FRANKENLIES.COM! AND HE USED 14 HARVARD RESEARCHERS?! WHAT A LIAR!”. In fact, dozens, if not hundreds point to that site or copy and paste a “lie“. And how many of those reviewers do you think ever read Al’s book? Probably few to none. This website was designed to counter the assertions of that website. It claims 17 "lies" in Al's book. This website is designed to counter those counterings :) .
