Freeper call-in fest on CSPAN
It's gross to listen to...the first one I heard was some freaked out old woman that went on about how Kerry was an abomination.
God these people make me sick.

3. Let 'em go wild!
Seriously, I think these crazy freaks only turn off rational human beings. Maybe I'm naive, but listening to the rant-and-ravers only makes their side look insane. I think it would drive away all but the truly crazy wingnuts.

5. We're getting some good spin
Most everyone (on our side) has agreed that * avoided the questions or threw everything off on tangents.

8. I tried calling in, can't get close
Edited on Wed Oct-13-04 10:00 PM by gmoney
They let these freepers drone on and on without actually answering the question of "who won the debate" and repeating Puke talking points

the Bush supporters who manage to get through ALL sound like morons... maybe that works in our favor.

20. They just don't want the rest of the world to know that Republicans have
gay children. Did you get Scarborough last night making that quip about Ron Reagan and ballet dancing?

13. They jammed C-SPAN after the first debate, too...
Fundies were calling in on all 3 lines: Repug, Dem and Independent.

EVERY FREAKING ONE worked in the "man o' Gawd" meme, sometimes using identical words.

They've been more entertaining tonight. Love the second woman who called in and started ranting insanely. Then that recent one, who called Kerry "double-minded." I think.

18. The "Auhm wail red" guy
is actually from my small home town, Farmington, NM. I tried to call in to save our reputation, but I couldn't get through. Not all Farmingtonians are illiterate assholes. Many are, though.

19. Geez, I'm sorry to hear that.
America's collective IQs lowered about 30 points listening to that freeptard. Sad since they were already lowered listening to that "lib'rul meedia" lunatic woman earlier.

Again, why did that anchor just let those mow-rons prattle on and ON without making a point of any kind???

12. And the #%^@$%^@$ hostess is a partisan twit!
Every time a Kerry supporter gets put on (which isn't all that often) she tries to bias the call by saying something like "Some people think that it was a draw" or something else, RATHER THAN STAYING OUT OF IT LIE SHE SHOULD! And of course she doesn't do that with Bush supporters...I've watched CSPAN for years now, and she has always been a partisan hack.

14. Conservative Span
The C in C-Span is for conservative, they have always tried to dominate the call-ins.

15. We have to keep calling
No choice. The Freepers have largely conceded the online polls to us. That can only be good for us. We cannot concede CSPAN, even if we hate busy signals and hate calling in.

21. I expected that woman from Jersey City to start screaming "Hezbollah!"
But the part about Kerry being an abomination was just as bad. It is hard for me to wrap my mind around the fact that these people share the earth with us. We are hearing more and more fundy freaks and less and less well educated Right Wingers. She didn't help the case for Bush, did she? :hi:
