OMFG. Just got a Dick Morris Propaganda robocall followed by live right-wing pollster talkin to me

[Bombtrack]

I was ripshit, since they woke me up (I work third shift right now and need to sleep during the day, which is hard) tried to hold it together for a few seconds plotting if there was anyway I could negatively influence them by going along with their belief that I was some sort of conservative activist. But I lost my shit and started yelling at the asshole who was asking me who my favored Republican was (Michelle Bachman, Ron Paul etc). I told him to lose my number and that he was a fascist asshole. (Again, I was interupted from sleep and I'm still pretty heated but this was the perfect storm of what would piss me off). I really sounded like I wanted to rip his head off and I hope I got to him somewhat.

Anyway I'm just posting this because I want to know if this is happening elsewhere and on what scale. It's got to cost money to do this (both the recorded message followed by the live pollster) I've never heard the kind of vitriolic political propaganda on a phonecall before (I don't recall the whole thing verbatim but I can remember the words 'radical' and 'socialist' being emphasized in the recorded message from Dick Morris himself. Wish me luck in calming down. If this fuck had come to my door I would be down on assault charges.

BTW I'm living in the South Shore of Massachusetts if that helps anyones research.

1. Iowa here - just got a robo call poll for some tea party 2 days ago

I answered all the questions as a tea partier would. The recording said a live person would call me. Two days later and I am still waiting.

2. 3rd shift worker too.

Turn off phone and let machine get day time callers. Most are worthless and such a waste of time they don't leave a call back or #. Screw day time calls.

3. I usually do, I've just had family stuff going on lately and that's why I was even more on edge

I still don't feel bad about yelling at the guy. I probably could have been more clever about it though if I wasn't half asleep and stressed out.
