Freeper Friday - Caller gives Lamb a good one
Has anyone noticed that C-SPAN has changed its caller lines from

"Support the President"
"Independents"
"Support Democrats"

to

"Support Republicans"
"Independents"
"Support Democrats"

Today, Lamb had been ranting that calls on the rethug line not favorable to * were by Democrats, and instructed them to use the "proper" line.

A caller came back, identifying himself as a life-long rethug, and saying that borne out by the latest polling numbers, there are a lot of rethugs who are not pleased with the direction * has taken their party.

:rofl:

3. Yes I was pleased with the change.
It has been a bone of contention for a long time, they wouldn't change it until * became so unpopular that they had to so they could use that strategy IMO.

4. You can't get through on the Dem line.
I've tried for months. Busy ..busy..busy.

And when I finally get a ring, it keeps ringing until I get disconnected.

5. With Stupidhead's approval numbers in the 30s
Why does it surprise the host that nobody's calling up in support of Stupidhead? You're not getting any calls favorable to Stupidhead because nobody likes him, you pinhead!

I swear, it apparently doesn't require even an elementary school education to host a show on teevee anymore.

7. Another caller had a great idea, air WJ live in the evening.
Why not add or move and existing WJ session to at least one evening per week. Sure would be better quality and content than the drivvel served up by Tweetie and O'Lielie.

8. Yes, they changed from Time Zones when Clinton was president to
'support bush' right when the war in Iraq was starting to become an issue and so many people were against the war who called, he had to change the lines to favor bush which artificially made it look like almost 50% were in favor of the war. Since they changed it to just 'republicans' Lamb is either complaining that there are not repuke callers or complains because they are not supporting baby bush. and I did hear those complaints this AM and even at times they just hang up on callers who call in on the repukes line and are not bush bots..and I have often thought..what line should a republican call in if they do not support bush?

It was great this AM!

10. Since the switch, I'm just waiting for the time that there are no rethug
callers.....but we all know the RNC would never allow that to happen, they'd be having staffers and interns calling in to read talking point memos.

9. there are two kinds of Pub callers
1. the crazies, who are so angry and full of bile they're trembling with rage as they speak about whatever

2. the talking points, who have their NRC-assigned talking points and are making them
