Supersize Koolaid Drinker John Batchelor on C-spn
This guy looks scary. First time I have run across him. He seems to be in a b*sh trance. Loves dubby, bolton etc.

1. Gotta wonder if C-Spans drinking the same koolaid. Why is he on C-Span?
Edited on Fri May-20-05 07:33 AM by Postman
he's yet another fascist shill for the Bush Nazi's.

C-Span really showing their true colors.

2. Well it is indeed Fascist Friday..
It would be a miracle if brian put a liberal on a Friday. It does seem as though the fascism is spreading to most days of the week.
:(

6. I'm glad some of you seen this
I was about to pinch myself to see if I was dreaming. 1984
He did say he didn't like dubby holding hands with Saudi's. He said they are not our friends. I think he may have just been jealous.

5. he just blew off the UK memo question
said he knew more about it than the caller and that he wasn't going to speak to it. Of course he knows more than the caller.. thats why he's on CSPAN and the caller isn't

8. you must be one of the probably
few people in america watching this program. if fox news gets less than 400,000 viewers i bet c-span gets less than 100,000 a day.

One needs to know the monster to get an effective attack strategy.

10. He's insane.
He said the insurgents want to take over the world. I may be naive, but I believe they just want the US out of the middle east.

15. Hmm. I saw a movie last night
"The attack on my life left me scarred, deformed... but my resolve has never been stronger."

Three guesses what movie I saw & what character said it.

17. Hmmm,...
,...I don't retain names very well but a couple movies pop to my mind where a statement like that would be consistent: "Hotel Rwanda" and "Gandhi". :shrug:

Please, do tell.

45. Islam only began around 650 AD, but Mohamed shook the....
...Christian world by pointing out that Jesus was a man, that he was an excellent teacher and prophet, but not the Son of God and that Jesus was never resurrected from the dead. That has inflamed Christians for 1,400 years and will have to be settled one way or another. Two opposing truths can no co-exist among true believers.

16. He want to take out Syria
For that is where Saddams weapons are.
Has anyone ever seen or heard him before?

One caller called him a jewish propagandist and all he and Lamb did was sneer real big.
Another lady asked about all the death and mayhem and it apparently is all good in bushworld.

20. When he said, "War is horrible, awful", butter wouldn't melt in his mouth.
He was completely disconnected. Everything about him seemed,...unreal, disingenuous, detached.

Even when he smiled, he just looked like a fake arrogant PUTZ.

19. Note: this guy has a degree in divinity.
Married to a minister also. Loves blood and mayhem and sees threats everywhere. Does not inhabit a world for which it is worthwhile to seek peace. AND he is essential promoting thenotion of a postmodern crusade.

23. Where Are The AAR People?
C'mon Brian, you're just a few blocks from AAR's studio...you'd think someone would come on down and visit your little Friday treehouse.

Batchelor is another of these high brow/Bucklyites who think they're too cool and too smart for the rest of us. He lacked any real facts and just relied on the same old talking points and fear factor to insult and dismiss any critique.

How a man who is supposedly so educated can be so ignorant speaks volumes of the intellectual corruption of the right wing.

25. Brian's sole reason for living is to promote the Fox
Channel and suck up to Rupert Murdoch. He repeatedly makes a point of using their material and tracking on Murdoch's machinations, always presenting them in a positive way.

30. He Sucks Up To ALL Cable Operators
In fairness, Batchelor works for ABC/Disney, and I really haven't seen many Faux faces on Fascist Fridays.

Brian does load up on Regerny press or whatever the name of Murdoch's slimeball book operations is called...as well as other right wing publishing operations.

The one thing he really felates the cable companies. He's at their mercy...they give him lots of money and make his little cable empire possible. He doesn't pass up a chance to praise Adelphia or Comcast or Direct TV (Murdoch) cause without them he'd be selling shoes.

31. I think it was his trancelike state he would go into
When he tried to scare us with his shadow knows radio voice.
Actually the scariest part about him was the fact that he thought W was doing well in the War Without End.

29. He spoke down to every caller "uh, do some reading"
what an arrogant jerk. He must be tons of fun at a party.
He name drops more than Dowd; he wears his self-importance proudly, doesn't he!!!

The Muslim extemists want to take over the coast of France and all of Spain and Portugal.

Talk about your conspiracy theories!! "do some reading." What a joke.

36. Ok, it's not just me
After reading the comments in this thread, I realize I'm not the only one who was bothered by this guy's appearance and way of speaking. I thought of it as the enormous pompousness of the insane. I thought he was EXTREMELY creepy.

37. You are right
I went and checked his website, but it mostly just links to other neocon bs. I didn't want to click on any of it for fear of catching what he has.
Nevermind me, I'm just working my longest thread ever. I finally found a good demon to pounce on.

39. Did you enjoy hearing that WMDs and Iraq are NOSTALGIA???
I usually feel some pity for the insane, but not this morning!!! I was trying to call in to let him know that if it's nostalgia then he should take off the suit and tie and get his arrogant ass on the first plane to Baghdad!
