Did orders go out from the right wing to call liberal talk after Obama's speech?

[wildflower]

I heard two callers in a row tell Ed Schultz that Obama is a socialist. One referred to his plan for "Global Socialism." (Huh?)

ON EDIT: Now a third one just called! This one asking why Obama doesn't visit the troops.

Sounds like these are the talking points we should be watching out for.

1. I love asking plutocrat-enabling RW asshats to define socialism

They never come up with anything remotely coherent.

3. One was talking about "redistrubution of wealth"

I think implying that it would be redistributed from the U.S. to other countries. I hadn't heard that one yet.

6. Like that isn't already happening?

Is that person completely unaware of how foreign countries hold most of our national debt? Not to mention foreign companies and individuals sucking up property and natural resources like it's a friggin fire sale.

7. Well, that's business, so it's okay...

It's all part of the free market, right?

I don't know. Ed made a deal with the one talking about global socialism to come back tomorrow and read from the parts of Obama's books that supposedly show him to be a socialist. I don't know if he'll come back tomorrow or not, because he apparently wouldn't give Ed his number off the air.

I'm curious to know if any other talk shows get similar calls.

10. We already do that

its called the trade deficit :shrug:

4. I know. I've tried to get one to explain exactly what makes Obama (and McCain, of course)

Socialists. They have no clue, or mutter about "Big Government" but without really understanding what they are parroting.

Sad, really.

11. They repeat what they hear without knowing what it means.

My mother complained that Nancy Pelosi was "so far left, so far left." I asked her to define far left. Silence. :eyes:

[YOY]

2. They are grasping at straws.

They cannot come up with a positve but are kings and queens of the negative.

5. Yep, third asshole calls about visting troops

and caught big Eddie off guard.

Fortunately, he was a total asshole and called Ed names.

somebody needs to email Eddie with teh article about WHY Obama didn't visti the troops. He was being CLASSY.

8. Do you have a telephone number for the show?

[wildflower]

9. Here, from his Web site (show's over)

1 [phone]

The show is over now (these calls occurred in the last half hour). I wasn't too surprised when I heard the first caller, but the second and third made me start to think this was a result of a mass e-mail or something telling people to call after Obama's speech.
