1. Watching

She's got this right: Demonizing ends reasonable debate. (traitors)
She thinks both sides are about the same.... ummmm

//I like Ellen Goodman.

2. What a disappointment.

She calls herself a libertarian. She is super soft on Republicans. Her examples are poor, hackneyed, un-insightful. Might as well have a wind up doll.

17. anyone calling themselves...

.. a libertarian has lost my ear on the last syllable. The only political philosophy more simplistic and wrongheaded than communism. Fooey :)

3. Someone call in & tell her what "Smut Slut"

Coluter said yesterday about our soldiers "getting their hair mussed". Right wing is sheer hate. I can't call - I was on yesterday. Keep trying.

7. What was the topic you got to comment on yesterday?

And what did you say?

[leetrisck]

13. Was Open Phones

and someone had brought up Judge Roy Moore. I compared Judge Roy Moore to Susan McDougal (chains and shackles for contempt of Court)and said Judge Moore belonged in jail for contempt. Also said everything bush had touched since he was "put" in office was a disaster. Named some of the felons and "pardons" serving in the Yellow House and said I wanted my country back. Made several other callers angry but more about Judge Moore than the other.

14. Very cool!

I've never gotten through. What was your secret? How many times did it take?

[leetrisck]

15. I call all the time

but there is a 30 day in between calls and I try not to break that rule (but sometimes do). I just constantly hit redial and almost every time I realy, really want to get in, I do. You do have to be persistent though. If you get through, try to have your thoughts written down (at least notes) so that you can get it all in. You don't get much time.

4. lol

so she likes all the conservatives and lables as mean only the liberals?
well she left plenty of the rights biggies out how agenda fulfilling.

where would we be without Rush, O'REALLY, INSANITY or SAVAGE... to name a few... shoot al would be out of work probably with paul and james back in their rightfull place of obscurity as a couple old back room political hacks ;->

peace

5. Female caller

"Ann Coulter is brilliant. We need to keep fighting communism."

People like Garafola: They just call people names. They don't have any facts.

:wtf:

"We do need to keep fighting the left. We don't want communism here."

Talk about being trapped in a time warp!

Moderator read that vicious Coulter quote about needing to kill Lindh so to intimidate left...

Caller reluctantly admits that maybe caller went too far.

6. Irritating!!!!!!!!!!!

The woman is an idiot!

Where do they get these people?

[VermontDem2004]

8. James Carville a mean liberal?

because he argues w/facts? wtf? I guess if you actually blast Bush *oh my god!* you are considered mean.

9. Interesting post by grendelsuncle

regarding the concerted effort to shape the Bush-hating meme and create this vision of Vast Left Wing Conspiracy. This CSPAN program fits in quite well.

10. Namecalling on crossfire?

I watch crossfire every weekday, she is lying.

11. Well, C-Span really ended the day weak with a weak

guest

12. Earth calling Cathy Young

You can come home now.

16. Liberals Harry Truman mean. GOPers McCarthy.

Both are mean. Liberals are mean and truthful.

Liberals aren't even close to mean enough, frankly. We need to attack the people behind Bush as much as Bush himself.

The GOPers (the skunk bastard ones, not the moderates) would love it if they could make this all about Bush. It's not. People like Franken see the beady little eyes of the creeps pulling Bush's strings, and they are officially on the menu.
