Washington Journal C-SPAN inundated with right wing calls.

[Humor_In_Cuneiform]

They were talking about the domestic surveillance, then Alito.

The talking points were all they had to say, as usual.

They must be rallying their troops to call in massively.

There really was an underrepresentation of our pov.

1. Typical RW tactic. These peoplecall in daily after the talking points

are handed out for that day.

Did you hear the screamer who called in to "speak" with Louise Slaughter the other day? His head was about to explode. The congresswoman handled him well. Even the CSPAN host seemed a bit embarassed by this particular caller.

3. ahh the pleasantries of the religious right

4. I missed that, I can only stand to watch occasionally. n/t

[RethugAssKicker]

2. I stopped watching WJ.. primarily because of that

I don't want to hear the BS rethuglican point of view.. Its total bull shit!

Although WJ is fair and balanced (1 call from each side).... I myself, don't believe in their right to be heard anymore.... Its war now! as far as I'm concerned.

5. I'm suspicious that some call in on the Democratic line and say

stuff like that they used to really support the Dems, but blah blah GOP talking points.

[underpants]

6. Damn! only 12 people watching now

:grr:

[GR]

7. C-SPAN Changed Call-In Criteria To Instigate This...

They used to have "support Bush" and "support democrats" now they have "democrats" and "republicans" This is an open invitation to "registered democrats" who vote republican to call in and that's just what's happening...

We need to complain and make them go back to the old labels...

[Humor_In_Cuneiform]

13. Yea, I noticed that change.

Maybe that would help.

8. I often wonder

if there is some office building somewhere filled with nothing but people paid to do thing like this. They all call in to these shows, vote on polls, and go disrupt recounts. They all say the same thing and obviously have no mind of there own, so is it really far fetched to say that they have been given a script, directions, and $300?

[CottonBear]

9. It is not farfetched at all!

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[Catchawave]

12. I totally agree !

And welcome to DU Dragonbreath :hi:

I even think that happens on DU by virtue of the number of people tombstoned on a weekly basis :)

I know it happens in Corporate Amerikka that infiltrate liberal advocacy groups to make them look bad. Especially those opposed to animal rights issues.

[Humor_In_Cuneiform]

14. Not farfetched!!

During the election, someone posted info from the GOP web with a list of stations to call, national and local, along with talking points and pointers on how to get on the air. And what to say, like "thanks for taking my call," etc.

[0007]

10. You noticed that too, eh?

[goclark]

11. Always is more THEM than US nt

[GalleryGod]

15. I Stopped Watching CSPAN Call-in Shows When Susan Swain

allowed Right Wingnuts to call-in and TRASH Jacqueline Kennedy after her death:puke:

FWIW:think: When Jerry Ford ascended to the Presidency in 1974 his
Tranisiton Chief Was?*
