Bill Frist's phone is busy.....
I have been trying to call and vent about what a fool and a cretin Bill Frist is for participating in this Justice Sunday thing. It has been steadily busy for over an hour. I pray that it is people calling to say rude things.

I love my state, but he is an embarassment of the worst kind.

15. "Donations to FRC are tax deductible. " - They are non-profit?
They sound like a freaking PAC to me. Shouldn't these folks have their tax exempt status ripped from them?

3. Justice Sunday
I got wind of it from the Faithful America group, here...an exerpt from the email i got.

In an unprecedented display of bravado disclosed in an article by the New York Times , an ultra-right wing para-church organization, The Family Research Council, has organized a telecast scheduled for Sunday, April 24 that will portray those who oppose certain judicial nominations as "anti-Christian” or “anti-faith.” The event is entitled, “Justice Sunday: Stop the Filibuster Against Faith.” Senate majority leader Bill Frist has agreed to participate in the event!



Let me repeat. Your U.S. Senate majority leader Bill Frist has agreed to participate in an event that portrays those who oppose their choices for judicial nominees as 'anti-Faith' This must not stand, and we need your help to change it.

9. got that
I have all that info, in fact just finally got thru on the phone and gave them what for. I was trying to talk to the little snit who answered and while I was talking she began talking to someone else..

I went off and accused her of not responding properly to a Tennessean with concerns and told her to get this....Bill Frist is much more dangerous to this country than any terrorist ever.

Gosh, I hate to get so mad at someone not in reach.

20. I wrote him - the sleeze bag
Sen. Frist,

You should be ashamed of yourself! Your pandering to the religious right in an attempt to 1) get notice for yourself and 2) try to totally erase the line between Church and State.

I am a Christian - a real one and not a Pharisee who shouts his/her faith on the corners. You need to read the Bible a bit more before you do things like this Family Research Council telecast on April 24th.

This is akin to changing money in the temple, Senator Frist, and you know how Jesus felt about that.

You should be ashamed of yourself, Senator Frist. You are using the name of Jesus Christ in the most blasphemous way - and blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is the one unforgivable sin.

5. he must be making over-the-phone diagnosis
since he has shown his uncanny ability to diagnosis an individual by watching a few minutes of them on video, it is only logical he's able to treat people by phone now . . .

13. Nah, he caught wind of a new batch of kitties delivered to the local pound
And he's on the phone to the staff there, trying desperately to convince them he really wants to adopt them all for loving pets--a difficult thing to do when scalpels and knives are dancing in the back of his demented mind...

8. Until you can get through
pretend that this was your phone call to Frist's office:

http://www.dailykos.com/comments/2005/4/22/13313/5227/95#95

I asked if I could post his/her thread here at DU, but 'imatlas' hasn't replied yet, so you can read it for yourself.

16. I just called his Memphis office and told them
I would never vote for him for President, that he and the Family Research Council and those people are trying to turn this country int
a one religion country and that flies in the face of the constitution,that religion has no place in American politics
that he and the house of representatives are destroying this country and the constitution, that the lobbyists and the drug companies are running the country, that he has no business appearing with the Family Research Council about judges, that there is meant to be balance and checks and 3 separate branches of government and they are destroying that, that THOSE people are crazy and destroying this country....AND I DONT LIKE IT, and that although I'm not from Memphis, I'm an American and he still represents me.

17. Thanks and good for
you. As Senate majority leader he represents everyone to some extent and is in a position that has too much power for such an ambitious, unscrupulous piece of horse sh.t.

21. I hope you're right -- I hope all those calls to THE CAT BUTCHER --
-- are from citizens of a constitutional republic who like separation of church and state and are threatening the little weasel unless he withdraws from that damned Justice Sunday event.

This man is a slime.
