VIDEO: Norm Coleman Confronted by Local Progressives

Yesterday in Minnesota, Norm Coleman thought he was being greeted by supporters outside a local Republican event.

But instead, Coleman came face-to-face with the fact that his insistence on being a sore loser has raised over $90,000 to help progressives defeat Republicans in 2010 -- thanks to the "Dollar a Day to Make Norm Go Away" campaign launched recently by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee and Howard Dean's Democracy for America.

It's all caught on video -- check it out. And if you aren't among the thousands of progressives who have joined the "Dollar a Day" campaign, you can do so at NormDollar.com.

Thanks to Amanda Becker, the awesome Minneapolis editor who crunched this video out on short notice. And to Gail Cerridwen, Jim Bootz, John Mallo, Cheryl Larson, and John Mallo's puppy who all played important roles in the making of this video. (Sorry, puppy was off-camera.)

BRAVO!!! Minnesota Progressives. You rock.

Republicans like to complain about so called "frivolous" law suits as a reason for the high cost of health care. Well, Coleman's attempts to deny the inevitable here are tantamount to a frivolous law suit. He knows, his party knows, the courts know and, above all, the American people know who won this election. So stop this nonsense, Coleman, once and for all. You have been outed as a fraud and an obstructionist.

...And then there's Pawlenty. Why hasn't he signed that Election Certificate? I hope that his political career becomes permanently damaged for his role in this injustice. Does anyone really believe that had this situation been reversed, and Coleman had come out on top in the recounts and the rulings, that Pawlenty wouldn't have already signed the Election Certificate? Of course, not. This is beyond the pale. ...Has the Minnesota Supreme Court rulled on this yet?!

The TEETH gets punked, how very funny and fitting since he is such a big joke.

[jordan3189]

Are these the same liberals who hate o'reilly for doing this?

[Happylib]

Hey Jordan, your intellectual dishonesty is showing again. Go watch an Orally ambush clip then this clip and you come back and tell us what is different. Go join the NewsMax or freeper site and stay among your counterparts. We are too smart for you.

Coleman should be prosecuted for obstruction of justice.

Seat Sen. Al Franken NOW!

[CAHertzfe]

What's with the crutches in the video?

[1logicalthinker]

He needs crutches because his argument for staying in office does not have a leg to stand on :)

[CryptoSolipsist]

ZING!

[dst1]

Bingo!

[Chapmanp2]

Coleman was punked & owned...
Sucker!!!

[plzchuteme]

I don't know that Coleman was confronted so much as he was "punked" by this woman. I wish he was as good a sport about losing the election as he was about this little exchange.

[levibatgirl]

The votes have been counted.

You lost. Go away.

[jazzycafe]

Norm really thought he was being greeted by a fan? That's hilarious.

[IrishLad]

OMG...did you see that he signed it as 'Senator Norm Coleman'...what a ar$e!!!

[tokenconservative]

He took it like a champ - my respect for Norm Coleman just raised tenfold.

[GeorgeP922]

That line will be SOOOOOOO much funnier when he is in federal prison :)

Seriously token, lickin the boots of Norm Coleman?
Man when we say we got the GOP on the run, we are not playing.

I miss the many calls to drink during the election, so here here, put your drinks in the air for Token and Norm Colemen on their path to oblivion!

[drumz]

He was hood winked because he's a jerk and you respect that? WTF!?!

[VOTER]

ROFL..........

AT NORM AND YOU!

[mairs]

My respect for him was at -10 so now it's -100. That's your tenfold.

[Tommygun264]

Shouldn't you be preparing your defense, Mr. Coleman?

[JakeMontero]

I cant wait for Smiley

[LHibbard]

Have to wonder if the woman confronting Coleman will be stalked by Bill O'Reilly's Truth Squad (aka Fox News producers). If so, she has to remember three things - Malmedy, Mackris, and Loofah!

[Jane48]

Yeah, I gotta contact these people and give MY $1 a day too!!

This guy does need to go away.... Anything I can do to help is a good thing. :-)
