What is going on with these C-Span callers.

[drm604]

One caller after another saying they're voting for someone other than Obama.

One after another are saying things like "It was a great speech, but all hot air. I'm voting for McCain." They sound totally scripted.

[valerief]

1. RW machine is running full force.

[drm604]

24. Definitely.

If they were real most of them wouldn't have the brains to do something "clever" like saying the speech was great but meaningless.

Callers from the real Republican base would trash everything about Obama, including the speech. They don't understand subtlety.

[dubeskin]

2. Not to worry

Most of the people who would bother to call C-Span are probably hardbeat Republicans. I don't think they are going to vote for him anyway.

[PA Democrat]

3. Did you hear the Republican who said Americans are stupid if they vote for a "black socialist"?

Lots of overt racists in the Republican ranks. They don't even try to hide it.

[LiberalFighter]

The moderator should had called the guy out as a racist.

[drm604]

20. Yes I heard it.

:banghead:

4. c-span is freeper central

always has been. great coverage if you want to bypass the talking heads, but that's where it ends.

[LiberalFighter]

5. Not planned? They are Democrats? I would take the calls with a grain of salt.

In fact suggest pour a circle of salt around me.

[MichiganVote]

6. C-Span didn't do a very good job with these calls tonight.

[jaxx]

7. Pubs like pissin in the same pot.

They were probably lined up for hours waiting to whine.

[meow2u3]

29. They sure as hell like to piss in the same pot

and then serve it up as beer. :beer:

Rethugs can't tell the difference anyhow. :evilgrin:

[KingOfLostSouls]

8. they probably are

republicans spend money to control the message on newsboards, on television, on the air.


would it honestly shock anyone that the RNC has phone scams going. they used phone scams before.

[Epiphany4z]

9. RW

call room.

[create.peace]

10. i had to turn it off, it was great during the convention

but sucks now. i wouldn't be surprised if there was a concerted effort to pull the spirit down.

[and-justice-for-all]

11. It is rather odd that more McNutsacks get through..

while only a few Obama supports get through.

[Middle finga]

12. I had to turn it off after a while couldn't deal with the rightwing haters

shouldn't they be in bed by now

[ecstatic]

13. A coordinated PUMA attack? I doubt many normal people are

scrambling to call cspan right now. :rofl:

[iamthebandfanman]

14. i think its a bunch of angry republicans

its a good plan too

we should probably call in on their line sometimes too stating something like we are ex romney supporters and mccains no republican so we are voting for the moderate obama ;)

[HughMoran]

15. Yeah, they need every trick in the book, though the fellow I heard was inspired to vote Obama

So I turned it off while I was ahead :D

[tularetom]

16. That's right cspan callers. vote for the senile ol fart

But don't come cryin to me when you get evicted from yer trailer when you can't pay the rent because you goat sick and had no health insurance at yer minimum wage job.

[OwnedByFerrets]

17. Paid callers.....nt

[Cha]

18. I heard a couple of calls that

were Obama supporters who couldn't wait to vote for him.

[malik flavors]

19. 70% of C-Span callers are always half-crazy. Just listen and be entertained.

That's all these people's opinions are good for.

[Lex]

22. A CSPAN caller on Bill Clinton in 92: "He's too much for the blacks."

Heard it myself.

After that, I only listen to CSPAN callers when I want to be horrified.

[Lex]

21. The C-Span callers are usually shut-ins and dumbasses.

nt

[jwirr]

23. Pugs have hot lines they call to get people to make calls for things

they support or reject. It is a system set up to lobby congress but it works equally well against Obama's speech. Ignore them. It works by calling the minister of a church and he calls his action team and they call others and all make calls to the target person.

[book_worm]

25. Dems are celebrating, not calling C-SPAN

[elleng]

26. C-span always alternates

between dem, rep, and 'other' lines, and of course reps have got their callers going.

[Peacetrain]

27. The machine pushing back after getting a good spanking

[AllentownJake]

28. Obama supporters are too busy hugging each other

to call C-Span right now.

[drm604]

30. True

I was out at a convention rally outside the local Obama headquarters. I heard the callers because it's only a few minutes drive from my home and I came right home afterwards. A lot of strong supporters were at similar rallies rather than at home making calls.
