Randi's getting tons of freeper calls today
They're all calling about the General who said it was fun to shoot at people. She's handling them pretty well but I can't help but think that there is some kind of organized calling thing going on with them.

11. They are Juveniles, that's what!
Well, mentally anyway. Part of it is the redneck, religious fundamentalist culture that disrespects and is contemptous of other lives on this earth.

3. let them call
she's not only handling them well, but in so doing she's disseminating perspective that IMHO needs to be out there.

4. She is doing an awesome job
I used to not like her much- I was wishing Franken was on her time slot so I could listen to him instead. :( (Live on a later time schedule than most)

But I have been pleasantly surprised the last couple weeks, and I really enjoy her show now.

5. I've said this before
...but I think there is a COORDINATED attack going on by the GOP, with the stated goal of grinding us into the ground so we can't get up. The piling on when Ron Reagan said that he was UNCOMFORTABLE with the parading of the dead Marine's parents at the SOTU was beyond friken belief. The aggression when anyone protests the fearless leader's plan to rape and pillage social security....

This isn't grassroots, folks. It's astroturf. They're too damn lazy to even use their own language; hell, they're reading straight from the GOP crib sheet.

Will the media investigate? Will pigs fly?

7. Yep - and they're probably paid with taxpayer money too.

If they've muddied the waters, or better yet turned legitimate listeners off, they probably get nice bonuses.

8. It's great, for two reasons:
1) It means they're listening.
2) It will boost ratings and give her more exposure.

9. If Randi Rhodes didn't want freeper calls,
she wouldn't put them on the air. Randi is a professional (the only one on Air America).

I love her show. The best on AAR.
