Who exactly is this Church Lady freak that Randi is...

[skypilot]

...talking about? The one who put her fingers in her ears on Ron Reagan's show to block out what the callers were saying. This is fascinating.

1. Janet Parshall. She has a RW talk show. n/t

[Spazito]

2. Her name is Janet Pashall, a right wing religious nutcase with her

own radio show. Randi debated her on CSPAN Saturday and wiped the floor with her!

5. You can watch the whole thing on C-Span.

Randi and The Church Lady were part of C-Span's 25th anniversary of call-in programs. Really fun stuff.

6. Thanks all.

And thanks for the screencap, Spazito.

7. She's one of the Femi-Army of Republi-stepfords

They must have a warehouse somewhere. Most of the repube spokes'ladies' are just like her..blonde,prim&proper,and all posess the ability to filibuster a yes/no answer. they are trained to "eat the clock"..That's why I was so pissed at c-span for making Randi share her time with that freak..Drudge got a full hour, as did 99% of the other rightwingers who were invited to the 25-hr special on cspan..

Parshall has every right to speak, and thta's not my issue. I just wish they would give each guest a specified amount of time to speak, and then their opposition can have the same amount.. I hate the "tennis-match interview" style.. Nothing of any consequence gets discussed, and it's all blah-blah-blah fromt he right, over-talking, interrupting and just plain rudeness is all the contribute to any "discussion"

8. I don't think that Randi should have been on against a RW religous lady

Maybe there are no secular RW radio ladies. :shrug:
It was unfair. Randi was discussing politics and the church lady was discussing religion.

[liveoaktx]

9. The lady represented herself as CONSERVATIVE radio

so she was fair game.

[CottonBear]

10. I suppose. The fingers-in-the-ear move rendered me speechless.

:eyes:

23. What did Randi say to elicit that childish response? (I don't have time

to watch the video just now.)

[CottonBear]

24. The woman refused to acknowledge that * repealed the Davis-Bacon act

(from the 1930s). Th law makes contractors pay workers the fair, going rate for hourly labor. *'s repeal lets the Katrina contractors pay $8 or $9 per hour to workers ued to making $15 - $20 (and more) per hour.
:(

25. So plugging her ears makes the facts go away? *lmao* Oh, man.

[Zinfandel]

26. Kick!

[Zinfandel]

28. Kick!

[Beaverhausen]

11. Randi just said Parshall is in her 70's!!!

I assumed she was maybe late 50s...yikes!!!

[Nimrod2005]

13. Did I just hear Randi say she was on MSNBC?

Does anyone have a link please?

[never cry wolf]

15. Randi's web site says it will be up there soon

27. Go to the Crooks and Liars website for video. Here's a link:

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[meow2u3]

19. That old bag must be 71 going on 2

Parshall, that is!

[Nimrod2005]

12. JP is just one rightwing bitch

You love to hate - one of THEM!

[doni_georgia]

16. Janet Parshall has been moving up the RW food chain for a while

She used to cohost Focus on the Family with JAmes Dobson, then she replaced Beverly LaHaye (Tim LaHaye's wife) as president of Concerned Women for America - a hate group if ever there was one. She is a bigtime theonomist.

[LaPera]

17. Will this rerun on C-SPAN?

[slor]

18. She is the Creature from...

the White Lagoon.

[LaPera]

20. Randi's body language was so composed, self-assured and positive...

on the clip I saw on C-SPAN...

Randi is so correct about the NY Times...

It's seems only after the story has been on Internet sites and blogs for days or weeks or even month's that's when the NYT might, pick it up...The Times NEVER offers any controversial news (until it's safe or if other papers are already doing it). The Times as most dailies offer little in any real investigating, hardcore reporting...

The Times offers almost nothing except for the same mainstream news as all the rest.

Proof is in this slimy corrupt administration and the republican party...The Times hasn't pounded and broke open any stories, they just go with the accepted Bush bashing of the day.

The NY Times, time has come and gone.

ALL that they offer now, is some excellent columnist (Krugman, Herbert & Rich)). And some interesting opinion and commentary, now and again...That's it nothing more.

But even that, (save, Krugman and Herbert), there is much finer opinion and commentary all over the net...Consortium News for one, Crisis Papers for another...

The Times for the most part offers only second hand news and opinion, as do almost all the other dailies in this country...

[Zinfandel]

21. I didn't know Randi was such a hot, nasty and sexy liberal...Man,

this Italian boy has been smitten, here in Humboldt County...

Randi, has the facts stored in her pretty head and can reach for and articulate them in a heartbeat...She is great!

(By the way, does Randi have blue or brown eyes? I couldn't tell from the video).
