Kerry's botched Joke issue is Getting serious Radio Air Time in Chattanooga TN

[Geek_Girl]

I've been hearing about Kerry's remarks every time I get in the car and listen to the radio. One caller even called into a radio show and talked about how Kerry's comment made him make up his mind. He's voting for Corker. He said he was undecided because Corker froze his wages while he was Mayor of Chattanooga.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. This person personally got screwed from Corker and now they plan on voting for him because they didn't like what Kerry said. I wonder how many other dumb ass americans are going to vote against their own self interest because Kerry botched a joke.

:wtf:

1. It might be some freeper

trying to influence the vote (sent by the RNC). Besides, they don't need Kerry's remark to change the election outcome... they own Diebold.

6. I'd agree with you

except this caller went into too much detail about Corker freezing his wages.

[ramapo]

2. Hard to believe

People aren't that stupid, are they???

Please don't answer

[Rockstone]

3. It's fake, but damaging

the right coordinated a campaign the attack all radio shows and call in and express phony outrage over the distorted version of Kerrys speech. Sam Seder, after not getting any right wing callers for weeks all of a sudden got bombarded by callers.

They are trying to mislead people at the last moment.

I think it will backfire. It doesn't change the other 999999 reasons to vote for dems. And in consideration of that, I think most will see that is more of the same non-policy oriented bullshit that they are sick of from the Bush crowd.

[blm]

4. Did you swallow that whole? Those are exactly the kind of calls that come from

RNC headquarters.

8. You don't know the mentality around here

[blm]

15. heh - I live in NC and spent 4 years in SC.

And yes, I truly understand the difference, even with my Ohio/NY/LA ears. But I have been to many a reunion and wedding and funerals around here, and MANY military people are loathsome of everything Bush is doing.

And that is RECENT talk from a large family of Air Force and Navy men from current Iraq war, previous Iraq war, Vietnam and WW2 vets.

16. Chattanooga unfortunately is a very conservative area

Most of east TN is and people just have some strange ideas. I honestly think there are quite a few people around here that believe that education makes you uppity.

[southerncrone]

21. Yep, I do know the mentality 'round there....

that's why I left Chatt'nooga when I graduated from HS as fast as I could!
:yoiks:

26. We did however

have a democratic mayor before Corker though and of course Corker is taking credit for the waterfront project that the previous mayor did. :eyes: I personally enjoy it still here in Chattanooga and we have a pretty good democratic active party.

[THUNDER HANDS]

5. anybody who would vote for Corker for that reason

would have voted for him anyway, if indeed that guy was telling the truth, which I doubt.

9. Never underestimate the power of stupid people

n/t.

[depakid]

7. Never understimate the stupidity of Americans

or the ability of the far right media to propagandize them into voting against their interests.

11. correction - He didn't like what the White House told him not to like.

And this is why this country is in the shape it's in. Because people like this guy are so easily duped by Rove and his ilk.

12. Jeeze, which local radio shows...The Morning Press, Dumb and Fatass

Dumber that follows, Styles, Robert T. Nash, which ones? I don't listen to local radio anymore; I listen to Air American on the satellite.

14. Jeff Styles WGOW

n/t

[tnlefty]

19. So was Styles the one who had it on his show, or was it a carry over

from earlier, or did his callers bring it up, do you know? Makes one long for the Navy vet, Max Hackett, that was fired from 102.3 and that's when I quit listening for the most part.

[Geek_Girl]

22. Styles was talking about it

and had callers calling in to discuss it. I also heard a DJ on 96.5 talking about it. Which is was pretty odd.

[SlipperySlope]

13. Sheep

Sheep, that is all they are, don't take time to educate themselves, and let themselves be led to slaughter. Disgusting.

[Uncle Joe]

17. He was probably already going to vote for Corker,

and is throwing monkey dust up in the air because the current Republican Leadership are morally bankrupt and this is all he can do.

18. Botched joke vs. Botched war...you decide which is worse...

Actually Bush is a walking, talking, botched joke, but that's another topic.

20. kicking

23. delete

[Clarkie1]

24. It's unfortunate, but I'm sure there will be other votes lost by Kerry's misstatement.

Morons get to vote too, after all. It is unlikely that it will be a determining factor, but anything is possible in a close race.

[SouthernBelle82]

25. What a bunch of shit

I bet this guy already had his mind made up. Corker is a total crook and here this guy is going to vote for a crook because of something someone else who is not running? :eyes: What a total moron! I'm in Chattanooga too. :hi:
