Anybody watching/listening to C-Span's Washington Journal?
Are you noticing a change in the tenor of the calls?

Seems to me there have been VERY few calls apologizing/supporting the administration. Lots of questions like about admin lack of accountability.

1. Except the last 2
Not a change, actually. Just a lot of whack jobs on the telephone.

The next to last "it's just a book" guy with his "it was just naked men" BS was stunning. Torture is reduced to "just naked men."

Bizarre.

7. "it's just a book"
The guy was nuts.

How can people kill over a book? I'll tell you how. Let some muslims flush the bible in the toilet and then give Coulter, Limbaugh and Hannity guns or even better - unlimited air time and soon you'll have thosands of crusaiders ready to kill every single muslim in the world.

5. I saw a 50/50 split...
as their phone rules would dictate. I also felt a very frightening willingness to not only support the chimp, but to also cast dispersions on the faith of Islam, as if it is normal. The right-wing have created a monster, and it is disgusting.

6. They were just
naked men in Abu Graib. Get over it.

See, the thing is, Muslim men just aren't ready to accept freedom. You know, the freedom where the prime military institution in the country controls the media, and PR firms run political campaigns.

I love RW C-SPAN callers. For entertainment, you can't do better. It's horror, it's comedy, it's drama. Where else can you get those different levels of entertainment in the same place?

I'm sure if a Muslim army invaded whatever it is that the US is, and stacked naked white men in a pile, I have a feeling some people might go crazy.
