C-Span 9:20a.m.ET - David Brock "The Republican Noise Machine" n/t

[LittleApple81]

[molly]

1. I bought that book last weekend!

[Wind Dancer]

38. It's so refreshing to hear the truth

for a change. President Gore's speech yesterday was so inspiring and today we hear more honest info re: the insane right wingers. These people have corrupted the minds of so many people with ongoing hate propaganda, obviously noted by the caller who called Brock a @#@#@#@.

I fear for our country.

[LittleApple81]

2. The C-Span anchor asks "Is there a Democratic noise machine?"

Brock said not like the RW noise machine.

[LittleApple81]

3. Brock: distinction... the RW media portrays itself as being independent

and it really sponsored by conservative groups.

[LittleApple81]

4. anchor tries to imply that Brock is calling Time a RW machine...

wow... this anchor is biased.

[LittleApple81]

5. Talking about the Moony Times; the Weekly Standard and David Brooks. n/t

[LittleApple81]

6. Bush and Moon connection. Anchor says "should it not exist?"

Brock says read the book.
Read comments made by Moon over the years and this connection should be offensive.

[LittleApple81]

7. Asked about Air America:

Franken seems to be beating Bush in the New York area.
It took time for the RW (Limbaugh and Hannity failed at the beginning). We must be patient and not expect immediate success for a liberal effort.

[LittleApple81]

8. RW conspiracy: it existed in the 90s against Bush from the

American spectator and the Arkansas project to discredit Clinton and bring down the president. (Blinded by the Right book)

[thebigidea]

9. caller: "I thank god for Rush Limbaugh."

Gag.

[LittleApple81]

11. Isn't that sickening. David Brock says Rush propounds himself as the

choo-choo train of the truth! That was funny!

Edited: I typed the wrong heading.

[Sparkly]

14. Brock says Limbaugh does that

:)

[LittleApple81]

16. Thanks. I must not be totally awake yet. n/t

[Gman]

10. The fundies and other nuts are out in force

[LittleApple81]

13. The first caller told David to be ready for this. I think David

knows these nuts because he joined forces with them at one time. Knows it from the inside.

[Sparkly]

15. The FACT that Limbaugh lies is evident in everything that caller said

The "Liberals want" litany: we want to destroy the family, overtax the wealthy, etc... (Loved the line about how we're all "Pro-condom." There's an "anti-condom" movement out there?)

[LittleApple81]

18. The crazy RW male just now: vulgarity to the max! I am glad

it was a RW because the anchor was appalled by it.

[KharmaTrain]

12. Never Saw Brock Before...This Is A Treat

Finally, a good guest on C-Span.

Obviously a better writer than speaker, but that stat about the 300 hours of hate radio a day vs. 5 hours of liberal is real powerful.

[0007]

26. Mr Brock is a breath of fresh air after Don North today

Check this video out. If you haven't already.

[Ripley]

17. Dammit, Peter knew that was coming!!

I knew the guy was going to say that! That asshole let him say it. Oh well, David can handle any shit from these bigots.

[Sparkly]

20. I agree!

The caller started with "David Brock, before I tell you exactly what you are..."

[LittleApple81]

21. If the anchor (Peter) knew it and let it happen, it makes the RWingers

look really, really bad.

[in_cog_ni_to]

25. That man was your typical repub.

That's how those people actually think and act! What an asshole!

I love Brock. I read "Blinded by the Right" and THAT book and David Brock are what got me involved in politics. I was SOOOOOO pissed off at the RW after I finished that book. I would have been remiss to just sit back and do nothing. The repubs are a frightening bunch of people.

[mopaul]

31. callers like that get a sexual thrill from the hatred in their souls

like when a klansman would appear on oprah, they just get an erection at the shocked audience reactions to their filth.

it's definitely a sexual charge for them to release all this hatred through the mouth, rather than another exit.

[Nomad559]

36. Video here

Your typical Compassionate Conservative calling David an ...

Video Is 2.91 MB
David Brock

[kentuck]

42. That was my thought also....

He knew and let it happen on purpose...Peter reminds me of those right-wing evangelists whose pants are about 6 inches too short, but they think they look cool with their white socks and their King James Bible.....

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

19. My, oh my!

Something crawled from underneath a rock!

[teryang]

22. Last "conservative caller" descends into filth

Brock is a very cool operator.

[leftchick]

37. Yes David handled it with pure class...

That cro-magnum man can go crawl back under his rock. It is frightening though to know there are so many of those creatures out there!

[TheWizardOfMudd]

40. C-Span needs a 7 second delay

On the other hand, I'm glad that potty mouth idiot was exposed for what he is.

[Sparkly]

23. Too funny

Caller called Brock "Mr. Bob," mixed up Washington Times with Washington Post, and said he wants to be "another Bob Woodruff."

How stupid are these people? And he's asking about Brock's education?!!

[LittleApple81]

24. This next RW caller wants to know everything about Brock's

background. Accused Brock of calling Wash Post a RW paper, which he didn't. He was talking about "journalists" and "columnists".

[LittleApple81]

28. He said he submerged his own beliefs to help conservatives.

[HootieMcBoob]

41. That was great

I'm sure the guy was blindsided when Brock gave him his background. The guy talked about Brock shaving his beard and taking off his beads...and then Brock goes on to give him his background and it's steeped in the most conservative of conservative media and groups! Brock then says that when he walked away from the conservative machine he walked away from a very lucrative lifestyle. I bet the guy's head spun completely around :)

[molly]

44. They have selective hearing

[KharmaTrain]

27. The Wackos Are Out In Force

This guy attracts the real fringes

Love that other string about the C-Span screener, and the obscene Freeper. Shows the staged side of how this show and the Rove machine works. Damn, that blast fax musta gone out real early today.

[LittleApple81]

29. You are correct. n/t

[BeachBuckeye]

30. We had David Brock as a guest a couple of weeks ago

And he was a great guest. This guy knows the inside of the Right-Wing beast very well. He has facts and figures that can be backed up. We asked him about Richard Melon Scaife and he gave some facinating details of how how Scaife has spent 400 to 500 million dollars pumping up the Right-Wing smear machine.

[LittleApple81]

32. Has mentioned Ann Coulter, Scarborough, and the suppossedly

"liberal media" sponsoring these RW attack people on "news" shows.

[LittleApple81]

33. Woman now saying that 75% of the press "liberal" and asked about O'Reilly

and if Brock "would dare go on O'Reilly" and Brock said he has been trying to get on O'Lielly's show and hasn't even gotten an answer from him.

[LittleApple81]

34. About the poll: reporters can have liberal or libertarian outlooks

but that does not mean that their personal views are reflected in the content of their writings even when the RW have tried to prove the "leftist" slant.

[librechik]

35. caller first says she's "independent" then

says "we" didn't have any good radio til LImbaugh!

I swear that's one of his propoganda tactics, to claim that his views are the way an independent American thinks! All the time he's raising vast litters of "dittoheads!"

[leftchick]

39. Right, she is as independent as say...

Bill O'Really. :crazy:

[TahitiNut]

47. A recent poll by Pew Research shows ...

... 75% of all the field workers on Southern Plantations in 1850 were "liberals."

This, of course, "proves" that cotton plantations were mostly "liberal."

:puke:

[CatWoman]

43. did you catch that looney bitch's lie?

she started out claiming she was an independent, then when she started talking about conservative radio hosts and newspapers, she referred to them as "our".

[molly]

45. Yes, I caught that - doubt if she even realized - she

must have called on the "wrong" line.

[AG78]

48. Yeah...

was she the one who said that "we"(the rich) are taxed too much in the country, but then stopped in mid-sentence, and said something to the effect of, "well, not we". I'm not sure that she knew that she was even herself. If that makes sense.

[TheWizardOfMudd]

46. Brock is going about it the correct way - Attacking the accuracy of RW

Also highlighting the damage that dishonest political debate does to our country. He's great!

[checks-n-balances]

49. It's good (for us) that Brock shaved his beard and threw away his beads...

as one of the RWingnut callers accused him of doing. Otherwise I guess Brock wouldn't be credible? And I guess since he's not wearing either, he's "cleaned up his act" and trying to look like one of them?

That was a perfect example of a smear/innuendo tactic - the object being discredited is somehow linked with THE 60's!!!

David Brock: Beardless & Beadless - member of the left-wing conspiracy!!!
