I just spoke to a VERY nice lady at ABC

[Joe the Revelator]

She answered the phone and I asked her if there was a special number I need to call to file a complaint

"About the debate?" she asked me, and I said yes ma'm

She laughed like a woman who had been answering the phone all night and said, "I thought so,That seems to be the phone call of the evening, I'll transfer you to the comment line"

I told her thank you.

Go ahead and call in, ABC is getting the message.

[crispini]

1. Weehee!

At least we're giving the message.

[LSK]

2. 818-560-1000

[grantcart]

16. here are the buttons so you don't have to listen to the menus

when you call they will pass you to a recording to save time
go to #2 then #6 then # 639

by the way the operator was stunned and at a complete loss of words saying that they are being overwhelmed by the reaction

[DevonRex]

45. That number worked better than the other one. Thanks. nt

[tishaLA]

51. Also 212-456-7777

Per Atrios

[Coexist]

3. thanks.

[enki23]

4. sort of an important correction:

ABC is being *given* the message. that does not mean they will actually receive it.

[VeraAgnes]

5. What is the complaint?

It's a debate, :shrug:

[Joe the Revelator]

7. You're right, its a debate, not a reality show or tabloid news program

Sorry you're blinded by partisanship. My "complaint" said both candidates were treated unfairly.

[joshcryer]

10. Please point me to some hour on TV, anywhere, where the actual issues were discussed.

You people fucking watch this shit, eat it up, dance in it, revel in it, but when the race is turned against you you freak the fuck out. Fucking hilarious.

[Joe the Revelator]

Who danced or reveled in it? Stop being bitter and start opening your eyes

Its only going to get worse, no matter who the candidate is, in the GE.

[tekisui]

58. Obama didn't seem surprised at anything they had.

So I am reassured. Hillary, for that matter didn't seem surprised either.

They know what to expect from the M$M. And the one that handles the M$M the best will win in Nov.

[woolldog]

72. The Rev Wright question was off the wall though.

Does your pastor love America? wtf? :crazy:

[gateley]

I agree --

It makes us sound like "sore losers" -- whining because we thought our candidate (either Hillary OR Obama) were picked on.

It's a debate. It's politics. It isn't FAIR. :shrug:

[Joe the Revelator]

15. Yes its better to grin and bear whatever bullshit the MSM serves it up

How could I be so stupid?

[gateley]

21. I thought there were some tough, valid questions,

which will come up again during the GE. It's all part of the game - smarmy, yes, but not surprising.

[Buzz Clik]

13. Gibson's editorializing is infuriating. There's no place for it.

[semocrat08]

6. Get over it

All you Obamites need to stop whining and get over it. It's clear that Obama does terrible in these debates, and it just goes to show that Hillary is best candidate we have. Cry and whine all you want but it won't change the minds of Pennsylvania voters.

[Joe the Revelator]

8. Thanks for the laugh, I said that I thought both candidates were treated unfairly

I'm sure you'll grin and bear it if in some parallel universe hillary gets the nomination and then gets set up against McCain

[semocrat08]

24. Obama has no substance

Will you all whine to the media corporations if/when Obama gets treated badly by them when he gets crushed in debates with John McCain? Just more reason why Obama is not ready to be president. If he can't even answer simple questions about what he believes in during a primary debate, how in the world is he going to stand up to John McCain? My theory: He's not. He will falter just like he has done in every other debate. These things hurt him.

[Beregond2]

37. Give me a break.

Obama performs brilliantly in debates. Hillary is shrill, annoying, self-agrandizing, and oozes insincerity and dishonesty from every pore. I can only assume you have found a way to shut your ears; understandable, when your candidate is the human equivalent of fingernails-down-a-chalkboard.

[cui bono]

65. LMAO!!!

Yep, this board is much more enjoyable when you "get" the Hillbot humor.

Thanks for the laugh.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[CherokeeDem]

17. Listen....

Before you are out of here...my candidate is Obama but my complaint is about the moderators, the questions, and the tone of this debate. Some of us would have like to have seen fair questioning of both candidates; not a hatchet job by two very incompetent jerks.

[Withywindle]

40. That's the point, right there!

I couldn't give two pellets of rat shit about Wright or Ayers or Bosnian sniper fire or "bittergate" or any of that middle-school fluffery.

I want to know about plans to get out of Iraq, fix our busted health care system, and come up with an energy policy that'll sustain us for more than the length of the next Presidential administration.

[Swamp Rat]

23. Welcome back!

:hi:

[thewiseguy]

48. You are the one who is crying.

[laylah]

75. Oh my!

Another graduate of Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People" seminars. :eyes: Well, welcome. There is truth to the old addage "You win more friends with honey than you do vinegar." Enjoy your stay.

Thanks for the attention guys!

[durrrty libby]

22. I doubt it. You're not that interesting

[Joe the Revelator]

26. I'm looking at it right now sweet heart....thanks for playing though.

[durrrty libby]

28. Do tell

[Buzz Clik]

32. Why do you insist on being humiliated? Glutton for punishment, or craving attention?

[durrrty libby]

59. BO must be super horrendous tonight. Obabies all have poopy pants

[Clintonista2]

46. LOL! Sorry wolshie, no such thread.

[jackson_dem]

69. lol!

:rofl:

[Joe the Revelator]

18. You have to admit, its better then banging pots and pans.

[Buzz Clik]

25. How the hell did you get off my Ignore list? Back to the dungeon with you, knave!

[sandnsea]

They had to shut it off with the increased traffic

:cry:

[Buzz Clik]

60. OMG! You mean ... they're loose? Roaming the countryside?

We're all gonna die! DU is headed for a disaster of Biblical proportions! Old Testament! Real wrath of God type stuff. Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes. The dead rising from the grave! Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!

[Buzz Clik]

74. Thank God! The living dead are back in the ground.

[NDambi]

11. They must be overwhelmed lol..rang about 10 times before someone picked up...and she put me on hold.

before transferring me...to lodge another complaint.

[NDambi]

14. She came back and told me the complaint line is too busy..and asked me to call back...lol we Rock

Keep the pressure on people

[CherokeeDem]

20. I let the phone ring about 30 times...no answer...

Have emailed once and will email again.

[semocrat08]

31. Seriously..

That's not something to be proud of. It's quite immature, just like Obama.

[AllentownJake]

34. Welcom to DU

I hope you enjoy a long stay here...however since you have 3 post and your already spewing stupidity. I will not be aware of it.

[NDambi]

54. lol

[merh]

39. Call 818-460-7477

Press #2 then #6 then # 639 then leave your comment

[DevonRex]

43. That one never answered when I called. So I tried the 1000 number

and somebody answered pretty quickly.

[merh]

53. When I called the 1000, someone answered

then came back and said the comment line was busy and asked me to call it direct.

[Jamastiene]

19. snicker

They are laughing AT you, Wolsh, not WITH you.

:rofl:

[Lilith Velkor]

61. So am I

I gave this thread rec #5 due to it's awesomeness :popcorn:

[Marie26]

27. What's the message?

What are people upset about?

[Joe the Revelator]

29. read the thread, hell read GD:P

[Marie26]

33. I'm seeing a lot of drama

But not having seen the debate, I haven't a clue what the drama is about. Obviously you were upset enough to call ABC - what was the reason?

[Joe the Revelator]

35. I've already answered that question numerous times, read the thread.

[Marie26]

38. Not in the OP

And not in the response. Jeez, you could've posted the complaint in the same time it took for the snarky response.

[Joe the Revelator]

42. and you could read the thread before you decide to start commenting

thanks donut.

[Marie26]

49. I read the thread

OMG. You've never said what was so unfair! Just that you're really, really, really angry at.. something. But you won't say what, exactly, but we should all call ABC RIGHT NOW & complain. God, going to GD: P is infuriating.

[crispini]

36. the moderators totally stunk it up

they were really awful, no substance at all, bringing up complete bullshit stuff. The Weather Underground thing? Complete horseshit.

[Marie26]

52. Thanks

They almost always are, aren't they? It seems like they care more about getting a soundbite than examining the issues.

[rodeodance]

62. yup blame the mods. BO fans love to put the blame on someone

[crispini]

66. You didn't notice the cheap shots they took at your queen too?

I'll be awfully glad when we have ignore back.

[Bigleaf]

30. The nice girl transferred me but I was kicked out because she said it was so busy. She asked if I

could call back in a few minutes and I told her politely that I would do that. Let them have it.

[jackson_dem]

41. About what? O didn't get asked if he needed a pillow?

[Joe the Revelator]

44. Here comes the schtick.

[jackson_dem]

47. I missed 90% of the debate. Did they do anything egregious?

[Markosito]

50. they went for Obama too agressively

Very biased debate, IMO.

[mtnsnake]

55. I don't wanna know if that lady you spoke to was "VERY nice", Wolsh

I wanna know if she was HOT. I hope to hell you asked her. Did you? :shrug:

[Joe the Revelator]

56. She sounded like she was.

[Dave From Canada]

57. What's the message ABC needs to get? Maybe they just don't get thrills going up their leg like his

campaign staff over on MSNBC.

[Lannigan]

63. Thanks for the number

I just called and left my comment that once they got to the issues, it was a great debate. Also appreciated the fact that they tried to give equal time to both.

[ksoze]

64. Do we call and say "please leave obama alone, you're hurting him"?

or "stop hurting him", or "how dare you raise an issue about him", or just whine into the phone?

[anonymous171]

73. Actually, we are calling to ask that they talk about actual ISSUES

A DEMOCRATIC debate is held so that DEMOCRATS can see where their candidates stand on ISSUES that are important to DEMOCRATIC voters.

[ZenKitty]

67. Did it ever cross you mind that instead of laughing with you she was laughing at you?

[Joe the Revelator]

68. Nope, unlike you I leave my basement and deal with people on a daily basis

I know the difference.

[ampad]

70. LOL

They are out in full force tonight Walsh wallowing in what they deem a victory. I have a strange feeling this is not going to end the way they think it will. Let them have their play time for now.

[cooolandrew]

71. There you go a little milk and honey goes a long way. Great post.
