Related: About this forumGOP Phone Message in Florida Calls Obama a Muslim (AUDIO)
Sept. 29, 2012
(Clay County Republican Party volunteer talks to voters during phone bank for Romney)
A disgusting taped phone message left from a caller from the Romney camp in Florida was taped on an answering machine and played back to a radio station.
Here is the text of the message left by the GOP caller:
Yall sound like yall are senior citizens, right? Yeah. You dont want Obama. You really dont want Obama. Because hell get rid of your Medicare. You might as well say goodbye to it.
I dont know if youve done any research on Obama or not, but he is a Muslim, um, he is, um, gotta socialistic view on the, ya know, economy, the government, the whole nine yards. If he had his way, wed be a socialistic country.
Pay attention to Fox News. If you can get out and watch that movie 2016, do so. That has a lot of good information. Just really, the newspapers and Fox News will help you out. OK. Appreciate it, sir. Thank you. Bye bye.

I ran a local race and paid for a robocall service to make calls for the campaign. It wasn't really that expensive. That really is the bad news, it could be almost anyone doing it.

It's caught on video now and no-one can deny it.

Yeah if it's coming from a Republican phone bank that's damming.

(4,551 posts)5. The 2nd link above is a direct link to the audio
It was captured on a message system and it's all over the internet this weekend.
I think Rachel Maddow also played it on her show last night, so the GOP dirty tricks are finally getting exposure.

(22,000 posts)6. Yeah I listened to it and realized what it was
I haven't watched Maddow for a few days, I may have to catch up online.
