Just heard a Republican caller on C-Spans Washington
Journal complaining about all those blacks calling in on the Republican and Independent lines claiming to Republicans or Independents. That caller speaks volumes about the Republican party. According to him you can't be a Republican or an Independent if you are black. All Democrats are black and all blacks are democrats and well Republicans are real Amurikans. He said C-Span should be named Black-Span.

6. So if you're a klansmen and you have a black friend are you no longer rascist?

If you asked the GOP or teabaggers you would be the most integrated person in our society. Not the black guy, but you since you know a black guy! (Same black guy carries assault rifles to presidential addresses)

2. They Are So Absorbed In Self Pity And Hatred
They don't even know how ignorant and outrageous they sound. The rhetoric is so fetid that it's "accepted" by the corporate media.

A day doesn't go by when there isn't some rushpublican asshat calling in to complain about how "librul" the show is (especially after giving a full hour to the shitstain head of Freedomworks yesterday) and that somehow all the lines are rigged. Yep, they are, but now how these douchenozzles think. If anything C-SPIN makes sure the GOOP talking points are out there early and often.

3. That's what the Republicans have done for decades
they accuse the media of being liberal so the media reacts by bending over backwards not to offend them, it works.

11. They quote highlighted
Republican talking points every fucking day, usually from the Wall Street Journal. C-Span disgusts me.

This morning it was a man from The American Enterprise Institute explaining the new HCR law. By the time his segment was over he had made sure the elderly viewers were good and frightened. C-Span has no shame.

4. There they go projecting again...
Edited on Mon Mar-29-10 07:25 AM by GoCubsGo
There are ALWAYS republicans calling in on the Democratic and Independent lines on C-SPAN. You can tell them by their "I used to be a Democrat but..." line. They were especially prevalent before the 2008 election. Heaven help anyone who does the same damn thing they have been doing since Washington Journal went on the air. IOKIYAR.

8. You're 100% correct. And this didn't happen by chance.
There was an orchestrated effort, (you could hear the callers reading their lines) to call Washington Journal (and other programs) and claim to be a Democrat, BUT I'm voting for John McCain. It got to be laughable as the callers all said exactly the same spiel. To the word. And the script hadn't changed much since they did exactly the same during W's campaigns.
Hey, we can see you. You're not a Democrat. You were never going to vote for the Democrat. So, just make your points in your own words and don't parrot the script you got in your email.
Right out of dirty, old Newt's playbook. Literally.

5. Yeah, I got in this morning and called him on letting that guy go on and on.
It seems someone from the left calls in and his hand just hovers over that disconnect button, but when a red neck comes on the host just lets him go on as long as he wants.

9. Yeah but that may be a good thing...
letting the idiot go on and on. It is raw and exposed that way and it may cause some to see the light

12. They even joke about
the disconnect button, sometimes acting as if cutting someone off was an accident-but always cutting off someone with a leftist position.

7. I don't know about you, but I can't have a side of racism with my cup of coffee in the morning.
That's not what I want to hear if I were watching C-Span.
