Recent call-in to C-Span
Some woman claiming to be an African American woman who's neither repub or dem is being convinced more and more by the partisanship of this comission to vote for Bush. It was pretty obvious that she was full of shit with everything she said. This is going to sound racist, and I don't want anyone to think I am, but I don't think she was even african American. That's how sick these fuckers are. they'll call in to these things claiming to be something with hopes of convincing others that might be on the fence.

1. I agree. . .
Angry white woman trying to threaten the black vote. Full of shit. I thought she was going to implode before the phone call ended.

5. It's the kind of hysteria that comes with recognizing that you have been
"snookered" lied to and that you are on the wrong side.

2. I thought she was lying too

Who calls and first thing they say is "I'm an African American". And what's this, "My husband and I are independant voters, we vote independantly." Yes, I'm very proud of you being able to punch your own ballot without his help...

3. Yeah! I spotted that too!
She says she's "independent" but obviously shows blanket support for the repubs and condemns the Democrats.

What about honesty, what about the truth?

4. Luckily, only you, I, and a maybe 1,000 other Americans...
... were watching C-SPAN at the time.

Don't worry. This person might feel pretty good about themselves for the next few hours; might even boast about it on some right-wing message board. But the whole world wasn't watching.

Best just to blow this kind of self-important tampering off.

10. I love it when they call in, saying they used to be democrats
then start RIPPING the "democrat" party, with lines straight from Hannazi or Limpblow

who do they think they're kidding

I called in once and said I used to be a neo-Nazi, but they were getting too liberal, so I was going to vote straight republican this time, cause they were much better at doing the things the real, authentic Third Reich used to do.

I started a thread here on it, but they locked it for being too inflammatory!

It's a good one to use on CSPAN.....you should have seen the look on Pedro's face.

8. This is the hysterical period before they just shut up.
The evidence is so plain now that bushco are incompetant, deceitful, disrespectful (I could go on) and previously wishy-washy people are tipping into the anti-Bush camp.

Result: right-wing denial and hysteria.

But, if the flood of revelations continue, they will quite literally get tired... and disillusioned. They may not even vote this year.

And they won't even be watching C-Span.

11. That is standard freeperism.
"I have nothing against gays but ....................."
"I'm a Democrat but ..............................."
"I didn't vote for Bush but ........................"
"I don't consider myself a racist but ......................."
"I'm all for afirmative action but .........................."
"I voted for Gore in 2000 but ..........................."

and the beat goes on.

13. There are professional operatives calling in all the time....

They start out thanking C-Span, then turn it around so that Clinton is responsible for everything and Bush is a saint. My credibility guage goes off whenever they start that pretention that they used to be Democrat. They are as polished as Tom DeLay.
