Anyone else watching C-SPAN?
It's unbelievable! The program has been taken over. Almost every caller I heard was 100% behind the President and the war. I don't believe it is possible to explain this without the screeners help. I thought I was watching FOX. Did anyone else see it? I only watched for half an hour, but what I saw was pure propaganda.

I guess that C-SPAN is now a Military-Industrial Complex vice a Cable News
service. :shrug: IMO, this Allen guy, a former Moonie Times guy, is a real right wing koolaid drinking spaz!

6. There was another thread about this
Political hacks paid to flood the lines ahead of Dimson's speechifying tonight is my cynical guess. With more than 60% of Americans OPPOSED to Bush**'s escalation of choice, the display of overwhelming support is statistically improbable.

8. Statistically impossible!
These people are declaring war on their fellow Americans. This is staged and it's chilling. Dissenters are being declared the enemy. This is unfuckingbelievable and the democrats need to investigate it.

9. Calls: War Supporters Only, when I first started watching. I'm in a
country with some seriously disturbed people. I heard 4 or 5 of them calling for a return of the draft, one from some guy who said he's 35. He should just go and sign the hell up.

Now this Allen schmuck is trying to deny being an apologist for **.

11. I think there's going to be violence in DC this weekend.
Many callers declared protesters the enemy of America. Judging by the number of military calls and the states from which the calls were made, this was no accident. It was deliberate and meant to promote violence against the protesters. This should be treated as hate speech.
