Who is watching Washington Journal
It's a Rove morning. Great call on now attacking Rove.

1. Been watching for about 45 minutes - it is Lamb's Fascist Friday
First segment had 3 to 1 calls from the repugs slamming the Generals for coming out against Chucklenuts. Wonder what happened to supporting our troops? Guess their real agenda is supporting Chimpy and whatever he wants to do and forget, smear and denigrate any and all military personnel who doesn't parrot the party line. Their "support the troops" is classic BS for this bunch of a$$wipes.

Now we get to listen to Hate Spewer Rove? And there are people who actually think this jerk has anything honest to say? Lamb will give Rove's speech unlimited re-play in a high viewer portion of the show.

I've learned that C-Span just isn't worth my time when Lamb has the show.

2. While I agree with you 100%, we have to realize that as founder of this
program, Lamb is most interested in keeping it on the air, so it is not surprising that he would kiss a lot of Republican ass. After all, the GOPs are in power in DC and if Lamb doesn't toe the line, we will see his show taken over by the likes of Abramoff.

I, too noticed this morning that far more GOP callers were getting through on the phone lines than liberals...it's not hard to detect when this happens.

Funny that he would put Rove on this AM, sort of comparing him to Christ? Will Rove be back on C-Span on Easter Sunday for the Return from the Dead?

3. On Your Comparison . . .
Remember that Good Friday was the day Christ died. Just leave it at that.

5. Rove is a raving lunatic
It's way too late for him to prop up this sinking ship of corruption and incompetence. Fugg all of them. Go Fitz.

6. Well in one way I do not go with Rowe. The Reds were the same
After all that was just an ideal and moved into a world wide thing for about 100 years. It was a religion to those fighting the battle. It also was not in one country with an army, until that took over the country, it was an ideal that went world wide and any means was with in its thinking to win. Many people were also blown up under it trying to move this belief forward. Can the Middle East be any worse than Russia and China were? Maybe that it is a belief wrapped in a religious coat, that makes it seem so bad, where we have sort of the same group, in their own religious coats, with the power trying to fight it. It is so like Churchill's Mo. speech and he was always fighting the Reds. It is all great for business also. My children were told to get under tables!!!!!!! One needs something like this to keep that military power working and a man some thing to run on.

11. I resisted the temptation to turn it on
I told myself I'd be disappointed and that it would start my day out badly. Seems I was right.

More and more of those callers seem to be trolls or operatives. Like they can't let even a small media audience alone.

there were very few calls that did not sound like Rove operatives.

13. The hosts have been talking about diminished calls from R's. Perhaps
there was an appeal that went out to those believe-anythings just as we get requests to catch a show or vote.

I recognized two people who have called in within the last 30 days.

I have this contradictory opinion about Lamb.

He approves coverage of some events that I was thrilled to watch and listen to.
He seems to be fair in the reruns. They say they repeat events three times.

Then there are his Republican agenda promotionals on Fridays.
And none of the other hosts ever have Democrat agenda promotional mornings.
Peter seems to seethe at calls and guests who promote Dems.
