just got slammed by a * operative
They called me mistaking me for my mother ( a life long Republican who just voted for Kerry). The caller was encouraging me to vote for Bush. I said, "you're kidding right. . .?"

I then I proceeded to go into a litany of how Bush has trashed our economy, our reputation in the world, and our credibility. I told her he was a criminal. Then she switched on an automated recording with a nasal cartoony voice saying, "you are filled with hate, that's why you are voting for Kerry."

I hit *69 and tried to call them back and surprise, surprise, they didn't answer.

These people know no bounds.

The phone was clicking constantly and I felt Asscrack's lackies were taking notes. I'm normally not paranoid. But this was beyond the pale.

10. Bet it happens a LOT
I got into a screaming contest yesterday on the streetcorner "MURDERERS" and "YOU'RE GONNA BURN IN HELL" I screamed at them. I just hate Bush's guts.

14. Reminds Me Of The Religious Radio Listeners...
We would run remote church services and Katie bar the door if something ever went wrong or the Pastor said something someone didn't like. The phones would light up and you'd hear variations of the "Lord's Name" that one never thought could be congered.

I would instruct my people to be polite and answer "Jesus Loves You" and "Do Unto Others" and "Do Not Judge" and any cynical and hypocritical biblical verse they could come up with.

I'll bet those Bunnypants phone bankers heard plenty from us this year...and it's just starting <grin>

6. You should have tried to keep them on the line as long as possible!
Waste their time so they can't do more evil today! :)

7. Filled with hate?

Pot. Kettle. Black. That is what their entire premise is...hate. Hatred for gays, blacks, socialists, Liberals, government, foreigners, atheists, non-Christians, pro-choicers, etc., etc.

8. If you've already voted, the trick is to keep them on the line
Just string them along for as much time as you can spare. Think of it as keeping them from convincing another voter to vote for *.

Feed them shit. They're bushies, they'll love it, they've been eating it up for 4 years.

9. Hey, look at it this way, if she had to switch to a recording about your
vote for Kerry & hate for *, then that means she has grown tired of saying it so often so she decided to record it!!!

:bounce: Heehee :bounce: I say this is a good sign, a recording of hate because she got tired of the pro-Kerry responses!

:toast:

12. I love it
It is so fun to pick up the phone and find an unwanted or needed call on the other end.

Giving them hell makes them think twice about calling back anybody else, you may have also saved others the trouble of telling them to go jump in a lake, so thanks :thumbsup:

17. the number is
401 608 6120 but they aren't picking up. I even tried it with caller ID block. Oh well. It was truly unnerving. So let's see. . .I'm filled with hatred because I'm displeased that * has trashed all that was good about our country. Ohhhh pullease. I guess I'm supposed to roll over and play dead. Sorry not in this lifetime.

24. I'm not entirely sure that you'd want to
since they switch into automated incomunicado as soon as you voice any contrary opinion. Just hope I didn't get my 78 year old mom in trouble. No dissent is allowed under *. It's completely unAmerican.

Let's just hope it changes ASAP.
