I've heard that Hannity and others have been talking about DU lately.
On Sunday 10/12 I was driving across Illinois when I heard a woman named Teri O'Brien on WLS 890 in Chicago. Teri is a predictable right wing shill who will tell any and all lies in order ro promote the Republican agenda.
She spent a portion of her show discussing DU! Like all right wing nuts, she used terms like "hysterical ranting... ...the anger... ...shrillness... ...apocalyptic... ...brink of insanity.. etc. etc. All of which I agree with fully, WHEN THE SUBJECT IS RIGHT WING RADIO TALK NUTS, but she was describing US with those terms!
She even went on to say that "I confess, I do visit the website... ...to learn what we must understand to win".
One of her dildo head callers said that he too had gone into Democratic Underground.
This caller and the host joined to give the scripted right wing speech about 'freedom of speech' 'freedom of thought' 'freedom of debate' blah blah blah, when the caller mentioned that he had been (gasp!) BANNED from Democratic Underground.
Can you imagine that? The administrators of DU ban people that describe us as insane, hysterical...?
What the hell do the right wingers think? That we have some obligation to listen to them?
Are we required to listen to them calling us baby killers, communists, anti-Americans, anti-Freedom, anti-Liberty etc etc?
The host's response to the caller's statement about being banned from DU was even funnier.
The caller said that he could no longer access DU from his home computer, but it gets far worse. He also said that he is unable to access DU from his work computer!
Dear God, is DU spreading some sort of computer virus that disables right wing computers??? I think they're coming to take our computers away!
Teri reacted with shock to the statement about denied access.
She tried to make it sound like some sort of sinister plot to silence the voices of the right. As if we were repealing the FIRST amendment.
Then she went on. She said something like, "Wow! That's scary! Do you keep any guns in the house?"
The implication being that O'Brien felt that Democrats would now be coming to the poster's house to cause them bodily harm.
Personally, I think we have enough people hiding behind couches with loaded guns in this country, without right wing radio encouraging others to do the same.
The point of my post (finally) is that they are talking about us. We're somewhere between steps two and three in Ghandi's victory roadmap.
First, they ignore you
then they laugh at you
then they fight you
then you win
