Freeper posing as independent
I was listening to the Gene Burns show (KGO) after the debate and someone called in claiming to be an independent, and instantly launched into a tirade trashing Kerry.

Gene was trying to get him to discuss the debate, but he wouldn't get on track. I was getting a little annoyed that this was being allowed to continue, as it seemed pretty obvious to me just what was going on.

But Gene, being the gentleman that he is, allowed him to have his say. Then he promptly slapped him down and hung up !

I wonder how many people claiming to be independents are playing a game like this.

1. Rove has an Army of them across the country.
I suspect that he has call centers that do this job full time.

2. Yup, you see/hear them all the time
And these "independents" always seem to sound like Fox viewers!

Things that make you go "hmmmmmm"...

3. Sometimes they're "Lifelong Democrats"
But they've just seen the light & they Love Big Brother.

4. Gene Burns'
biggest flaw is letting the whackos go on far too long.
