9. You sounded nervous at first, but calm after you got going!!
I can't believe she didn't know that Wolfie said "they're so black". Send her a link to that screenshot of the words if you know how, I don't know how to send a pic.

You did great!

11. You did really well, When Randi lets you talk like she did
it means she's impressed with what you had to say.

:yourock:

Great DU plug, too.

I haven't been on DU much lately, but after hearing you plug DU on Randi's show I wanted to check back in here. You made some good points, and Randi was nice to you (she can be rough on people - even people who are trying to agree with her.)

Good job!

I appreciated the shout-out to DU, and you sounded like a guest rather than a caller...I mean that in a good way, of course! You were clearly confident in the message you were delivering, and you even schooled her in something she wasn't aware of!

37. Good job!
I was on Malloy once. I thought I would swallow my tongue so I know how you felt.

Didn't know you're a Southerner. This Midwesterner hates region-bashing so I stopped participating on 'red vs blue' threads after last November. Don't even read them.

You made really good points - glad I heard them.

39. You sounded nervous, but that's good. It shows
it was a call from a "real" person. A really slick call sometimes sounds like a plant. You had all your facts and you did good. First, and foremost, you made sense (sometimes I can't tell what some callers are trying to say).

52. No, you sounded a little breathless, but
I think it might have gotten you a little slack with Randi. (or maybe it was the kids in the background, she felt sorry for you;)) She didn't talk over you or cut you off. She won't stop playing that Blitzer clip! You did really good. :toast:

also to let people know that the south has come along way.

It was hard to think straight.

"You simply get chills every time you see these poor individuals, as Jack Cafferty just pointed out, so tragically, so many of these people, almost all of them that we see, are so poor and they are so black, and this is going to raise lots of questions for people who are watching this story unfold."

You were coherent and informed. She liked you. You gave her information she didn't have. I understand completely how nervous you felt. I got through once too. It's nerve wracking being on hold hearing her shift gears, and suddenly, BAM, you're on the air. You handled it very well.

Well done! Pat yourself on the back. :)

She would have cut you off and talked all over you if she hadn't.
Besides, you have a very nice radio voice and came across as knowledgeable..she responds well to clarity and honesty. :)

71. Of course.
I never use the "Sarcasm" smilie, especially for sarcasm. Using that, to me, is the same as having "Get it?" as the punchline of every joke.

And if people don't know that I'm being sarcastic? Well that's the sign of really good sarcasm.
