22. I hope that idiot doesn't like coffee!

Seriously, what an idiot.

Among other considerations, nuclear fallout doesn't stay right over where you dropped the bomb. BUt I doubt these morans (sic) know that.

23. Right before a war ends...
There's always one last "push"--the losing side always gets more rabid towards the end.

9. I was wondering about the "Conservative Chronicle"
Here's what they say about themselves:
" In response, Hampton Publishing Company started the Conservative Chronicle, focused on viewpoints to the right of center.

Making a journalistic breakthrough, the Conservative Chronicle features 36 columnists and 26 cartoonists from a dozen national syndicates.

Every week, the Conservative Chronicle publishes an average of 40 columns and 30 cartoons in its 32 tabloid pages for subscribers in every state and Canadian province, as well as in other foreign countries.Our columnists range from Tony Blankley to Phyllis Schlafly, William F. Buckley to Walter Williams, Ann Coulter to Rich Lowry, Michelle Malkin to Samuel Francis, and R. Emmet Tyrrell to Cal Thomas. No other weekly political publication offers so many syndicated commentators in a single issue. For reference purposes, a "Topic Index" is included in every issue.

While the writers cover a spectrum of mainstream conservative viewpoints, they do not include far-right extremists. Many of the commentators have all of their columns for the week printed in full. And to get these views, you would have to spend thousands of dollars each year, subscribing to newspapers, or give up dozens of hours each week searching for their work on the Internet. The Conservative Chronicle compiles the work of these top columnists for you, and prepares it in an easy-to-read format."
http://www.conservativechronicle.com/about/

Hampton Publishing appears to be the publishers for the Chamber of Commerce, unless I have the wrong company.

I guess that far-right extremists would be commentary from Aryan Nations. No wonder some of these nutty callers think that Bush is doing a wonderful job (their lying eyes to the contrary). They're being spoonfed undiluted bullshit.

10. "Bomb them back to the Stone Age"
Edited on Sat Nov-05-05 08:09 AM by kentuck
The solution to thinking. It's always their common denominator.

11. Generally people who say that sort of crap have never seen a bomb
or the damage from one close up.

12. I am glad they are calling.
It lets normal Americans see the kind of "people" that make up the * core. The more they spout their crazy rants, the more they expose themselves.

19. I agree
Sane people watching that show will probably realize how nuts the RW is. The kooks will drive the Soccer Moms over to the bright side.

14. Because Repuke Brian Lamb has the lines divided up as democrat,
AWOL Bush supporters and "other". There is no room for any repukes who disagree with AWOL Bush to call in. Brian Lamb thinks that if a repuke appears to disagree with AWOL then that means they are really a democrat calling in on the wrong line and he cuts them off.

16. Guy on now doesn't believe in using the internet.
"What will happen to folks like me who don't want to use the internet?"

Wonder if he wears a fig leaf and lives in a cave?

17. The call-in lines encourage that.
Instead of having a "support Republicans" line, they have a "support Bush" line. That guarantees that Republicans who don't support Bush won't get the same air time as those who do. They've been called on it before, but the reason they give us that they don't want the whole show to be about "Bush-bashing".

20. In the interest of being "fair", they probably alternate calls
So, if Bush were at 10%, they would still split the calls 50/50, support/oppose Bush.

That's my guess, anyway.

24. And then the Bush apoologists lie and call in on the Dem line
I have I heard this time and time again, right-wing nuts who claim to be Dems or Independents but support Bush. Just remember one thing, these people must lie and obfuscate to promote their failed agenda. And they are driven by hate and fear, not intellect. Hate and fear will motivate a person to dial a phone a hundred times to get through. Intellect tells a person to find something better to do after the 20th attempt.

26. leaves me feeling "icky"
and reminds me that we've got to teach Introduction to Logic, Rational Discourse and Debate and Resistance to Propaganda 101 to people when they're young, otherwise they'll never quite get that they're being played like a fiddle.
