[Viva_La_Revolution]

I've had 3 hours sleep tonight, and I was trying to get back to snoozing... you people had me thinking I had made it back to sleep and was dreaming this wonderful dream about DU becoming famous.

So much for sleep. It's overrated anyway. :)

[DanCa]

2. I got up at five pm last night .

I can't sleep my system is shot. I am thinking about hitting myself in the head with a hammer to get some shut eye. Any volunteers.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

6. My problem is a hacking cough

I can actually manage to sleep through it ok, except I'm keeping the animals up. Damn dog keeps nosing me to make sure I'm ok, stupid pooch.

[DanCa]

13. Transcript from Colorado Springs caller

I thought people would get a kick out of this...

I really do appreciate you taking my call this morning I think is a very interesting discussion because this really gives people a pretty good chance to see the difference between the two sides. Now I upon a regular basis I visit two particular sites, one is freerepublic and the other is the democrat(sic)underground And usually what I will do is I will take and put up two screen on my computer so that I can go back and forth and contrast and compare. Now I only just invite all of your viewers out there to do this it will be the most revelatory thing you will experience today. Because if you will go to freerepublic, which is very much a conservative side of the debate, now anyone can come in there and register. If you are a Democrat or a Liberal or just a complete crazy person, you may come on and state your point and post on freerepublic. Now the democraticunderground they will not allow anyone with opposing views to get on there and post, you have got to be a straight ahead kool-aid drinker, off the deep end, kook nutcase to be on the democraticunderground. I just invite people to go take a look at the difference between the two sides. On the democraticunderground you will find hatred, vitriol, name-calling-- now this is the party of treason, atheism and sodomy you must remember. The party that wants to surrender and give up America’s sovereignty and find rationality in all of our enemies, but you will find hatred and vitriol-- they want to cut you off, they want to kill people, they are going to have a revolution and they are going to kill people. You will find nothing like that on freerepublic.

Peter: Thank you for that call we’ll let our viewers make their own conclusions about those two sites.

[mandyky]

14. I think Peter was basically saying

"take this call with a grain of salt" I think Peter may have seen the the "love and harmony" on Free Republic. LOL

[qanda]

16. Perhaps the caller gave it away

As he spread vitriol and hatred about DU and then went on about how loving and kind freerepublic was. Some of these people wouldn't know irony if it woke them up every morning.

[Kurovski]

35. Yes, I think the segment spoke for itself.

That Colorado caller is quite a salesman, ain't he? :-)

It reminded me of a kid snitching on someone in school for imaginary transgressions. Just adorable. He was all "hopped-up" and everything.

He did get the "name-calling" thing right. I try to think of new names for Bushco everyday, I can't help it if the most accurately descriptive monikers for Bush & company are hideous to the point of social unacceptability, now CAN I?

"Stupid is as stupid does", and all that kind of thing...

[annabanana]

15. oh I hope they DO...

then they will see which side has the LIARS!

[qanda]

17. Truly

They will certainly get an education.

[TheBaldyMan]

36. lmfao - I'm a namecalling, treasonous, atheist sodomite

and all I do is spout hate and vitriol. Come on, own up, that must be a put on.

[Kurovski]

41. One of the funniest parts of Colorado's call:

"...the democraticunderground they will not allow anyone with opposing views to get on there and post."

I think of the arguing that goes on here between members and I'm led to wonder just how often Colorado caller actually stops in to DU.

[mandyky]

18. Ok who was that Indie leaning Dem?

If you are on DU, ya did good!

[Jeanette in FL]

24. Brought up the article in WP -Diebold

being able to be hacked. Said that she got the article off of DemocraticUnderground just this morning. Very Cool who ever you are.

[qanda]

19. Another DUer talking about voter fraud

Way to go!!!!!!!

[Dinger]

20. Who Is On Now From Massachusetts?

Sounds great! Boy, Peter must be a little uncomfortable today. Too bad it isn't Brian hosting today.

[boston bean]

21. That was me!!!!!!! thanks!

[mandyky]

I knew it had to be a DUer!!

LOL

[Boredtodeath]

25. NOT VOTER fraud

The VOTERS didn't de-fraud anybody.

[boston bean]

33. You're right, i should have said election fraud!

:-(

[Dinger]

26. Excellent MassDemm!

Good job!:yourock:

[Archae]

27. Far out!

You sounded terrific.

[Jeanette in FL]

28. Good job

Got alot of information out there in your call.

[qanda]

31. Great job!!!!

[unhappycamper]

22. Dunno, but good job!!!!!!

[Archae]

23. It was a woman.

Other than that, I don't know.

[joanski0]

29. Question: Why is Brian writing down

every blog address that the callers talk about? I know I'm cynical, but why is he recording all of those blogs?

[qanda]

32. The last time they did something like this

They actually pulled up the blogs while people were talking. I believe they gave the names of the most popular blogs at the end and maybe added them to their website.

[joanski0]

34. Well, good. As long as they don't give

them to the NSA.

[TheBaldyMan]

38. he's going to be reading them himself

he might even get a ideas as well. Could this be the start of the MSM actually doing its job?

[carolinayellowdog]

30. Kudos to all! DU is getting more promotion than any other site!

and the DUers who speak sound reasonable and well informed. I bet a lot of new DUers will be born today. Haven't heard anyone mention firedoglake, which since Plameology became important has been high on my list of must-reads.

[Kurovski]

37. Crooks and Liars got a lot of mentions, too.

The segment will probably be rerun today.

[pearl]

40. Checking in

I loved getting in this am and plugging DU, Buzzflash, Daily Kos. Well done friends.

[Kurovski]

42. Thanks for getting in there!

:woohoo:

[DiverDave]

39. I heard that guy that said he had DU and freakrepuklick up

at the same time...
I wonder how come he didn't talk about banning posters at freek when they aren't in lockstep (or goose step, if you will) with rimjob?
Just wondering...

Oh, and all the callers that got thru for DU, congrats!, you are showing them that thoughtful,reasonable people come here.

[qanda]

43. I posted a transcript of that call upthread

It was truly amazing.
