More quotes by Al Franken
My spiritual life is... sometimes I have access to it and sometimes I don't. When I do have access to it, it's usually a sense of my understanding what the best course of action or the best thing for me to do. By best, I mean when I have a real sense of doing the right thing and doing good for people and the connected universe of everybody.
Al Franken
We know that the Russian's interfered in our election and they did it to benefit President Trump. The intelligence agencies confirmed that.
Al Franken
I'm for Israel's right to exist.
Al Franken
Anybody who deliberately propagandizes with lies should be held up to scorn and ridicule.
Al Franken
No one is more sensitive to the issue of overeating than the creator of Stuart Smalley.
Al Franken
I know that it's probably not a good idea for a comedian, especially a satirist, to support a public policy group or a politician. This is something I learned only too well years ago when I did a fundraiser for Pol Pot. A few years later I saw 'The Killing Fields,' and I've got to tell you, I just felt like a schmuck.
Al Franken
I believe people have a right to know what's going on with their information and how it's collected, how it's stored and who gets it.
Al Franken
I want to reclaim 'liberal.' I'm a liberal, and I think most Americans are liberals.
Al Franken
It's really building Air America that I'm focused on, and for me, that almost only means doing a good show.
Al Franken
Liberals don't hate America. We love America more than Ann Coulter does. I love it enough to engage my readers honestly.

Google's screen for privacy settings does give you more options for what you share than Apple's does. But it's not a complete list, and people aren't aware of whether or not that information will go to a third party.
Al Franken
I am a Minnesotan, and not just because I root for the Vikings and the Twins. I like the Minnesota-nice sensibility. I like the liberal tradition I like the Hubert Humphrey tradition fighting for civil rights.
Al Franken
I can assure you, this is not about spying on the American people.
Al Franken
The institutions that we've built up over the years to protect our individual privacy rights from the government don't apply to the private sector. The Fourth Amendment doesn't apply to corporations. The Freedom of Information Act doesn't apply to Silicon Valley. And you can't impeach Google if it breaks its 'Don't be evil' campaign pledge.
Al Franken
I ask the American people not to fall victim to disinformation. There are no death panels. The Affordable Care Act cuts the deficit.
Al Franken
Comedy to the Senate? Well, there certainly hasn't been a satirist or a political satirist who's done that. So, that really was uncharted territory during the campaign. But I think it's a good thing. Some people thought that it was an odd career arc, but to me it made absolute sense.
Al Franken
Minnesotans lost their jobs because the credit rating agencies didn't do the only job they're supposed to have, the only job they had, which is to give accurate, objective ratings to financial products.
Al Franken
Russia has cultivated an opaque network of patronage across the region that it uses to influence and direct decision- making.
Al Franken
If you control the flow of information, you can control the conversation around important issues. If you can control the conversation, you can change this country.

Let's keep the Internet weird. Let's keep the Internet free.
