When you call into a radio show, have your facts straight...

[madfloridian]

The caller to the Sam Seder show misquoted Dean completely. Sam is being very sensible about this and explaining things to her.

It makes me cross when people make a generalized statement with no backup on a radio show.

She said Howard Dean in a US News interview was asked about impeachment...and she said he said no.

That is just not true. Sam did not know either.

Here is what he said.

"On impeaching President Bush

Our primary agenda is not to impeach Bush. Our primary agenda is to move the country in a new direction that's a positive direction and gets us away from six years of negative power politics that Republicans have inflicted on us. clearly have to find some common ground with Bush in order to get something done for American families."

See the harm she did by getting her facts wrong.

1. Likely she's GOP

and is paid to get her facts wrong.

It happens, more than you'd think.

2. I was on the Rush Limbaugh radio show once.

During the big Hillary health care debate.

The way to get on is to pretend you have half your brain tied behind your back. The screener will think you are an easy target.

Once on, I asked why he lied to us and I told him health care in Hawaii and Canada worked well. He apologized by saying something like "I'm sorry you think you were deceived."

So, play dumb until you are on the air, but have some facts once on.
