This past Tuesday, Michelangelo Signorile, liberal activist and host of the “Michelangelo Signorile Show” on the Sirius XM Progress channel, obliterated a hateful conservative caller from Texas. Mike did such a masterful job that we asked him to make the audio of the call available, and he graciously obliged. Here’s how the call went, with our breakdown of the juicy parts:

The caller, named “John,” first stated that:



Like I told your guy there, I’m not Republican, I’m not Democrat, I’m a 100 percent American. I want to see what’s best for the country, I don’t care if it’s left, right, down the middle or whatever.

This is the classic disclaimer from conservatives who call in to liberal radio shows in order to get past the screener. The “I’m a 100 percent American” phrase gives you a hint of what’s to come:



… But you was [sic] talking about the President carrying 49 percent of Hispanics, 87 percent of Hispanics, but just like I said, it’s, uh, free money is votes, and I know for a fact, I’m a, I haul all over Texas, I see it all, I been there, done that, ….

“I haul all over Texas” was a hint that the caller may be a truck driver. If so, “John” may have been exposed to lots of Rush Limbaugh and right wing talk radio courtesy of conservative corporations like Cumulus Media and Clear Channel that flood the nation’s airwaves.

Michelangelo immediately jumps in and asks, “what do you mean, ‘free money’?” John then proceeds:

6. Oh how I wish he had jumped on this ...

How many Hispanics as you call them, come over here, and I’ll give you examples of the people that I know, that come over here and haven’t worked a day in their lives, and they’re getting welfare, they’re getting Social Security, ….

Come on, mannnn ... Social Security?

9. actually, ...

The illegals that use stolen soc sec numbers pay into soc sec, and don't get any pay out.

The fed keeps that revenue. If there are a 1 million illegals using stolen soc sec numbers, the govt is making a proft of several million dollars for doing nothing.

10. Yep ...

But don't tell them that.

[peabody]

7. Excellent!

Great take-down of an ignorant Texan. I wish I could have seen the look on his face when confronted with facts.
