Vile robocall. .... My first one.

Got a call today from Liberty action PAC. 30 seconds of hate and vitriol. Obama is a socialist insanely committed to abortion a gay marriage, etc. pray and vote against him.

Normally I don't even pick up the home phone for unfamiliar numbers, but because of the hurricane, I did today, and now I have a bad taste in my mouth.

Legally, I mean. If they had mentioned his race or Muslim or something it may qualify as hate, but just spewing shit about his policies probably doesn't legally qualify as hate.

When that happens, I make them wish they hadn't even gotten out of bed. Maybe it's just a boilerroom temp worker, or maybe it's a volunteer, but if they monitor the calls, which they usually do, someone hears my rant. When I do this, I never get a call back. When I don't, within a couple of weeks, they're calling me, again.

It was silent. I was hoping to let loose on an actual "human" but there wasn't anybody there.

If you get the Calista Gingrich call, there is a live one at the end of the line, eventually.
