RNC Routes Angry Phone Calls to DNC


Republicans played a trick on Democrats today by redirecting angry telephone calls coming into their switchboard to the Democratic National Committee, CNN reports.

"The DNC released a Web video early in the morning accusing the GOP of inciting mob activity at town hall meetings. At the end of the video, the DNC instructs people to call the Republican National Committee to express outrage. Callers who dial the RNC's main number to voice their concern about the DNC's charges are told to press 1, which sends them to the DNC's main switchboard."

Update: The Washington Independent reports RNC Chairman Michael Steele took full credit for the phone prank.

you don't really think people being sick and dying matter do you? It's all about $$$$$$ for the GOP and Blue Cross Dems.

:argh:

To us, it really matters. We care about other people and their hurting and dying. I see no signs of such caring among the Republicans.

makes me sick

First, they show up and shout down town halls, then people with real, legitimate outrage can't even rely on THE FUCKING RNC PHONE NUMBER to actually get through to the RNC.

...the RNC let you make this decision because it doesn't require a 2nd signature on a check.

Now it's phone pranks...Uff da!

Chicken shit bastards.

and wins. Then is well-funded for the next two election cycles.

Hawkeye-X

is pulled so his party doesn't have to listen to how angry they're making people.

Yeah, that'll really sway new voters!

Press option 2!

Tell them what chicken shits they are.

Don't fall for the ringer. If they're gonna take down our town halls, we can take down their phones.

Let's call it, "The Dialing for Dollars" program. Transfer the money to Hopi Indians or refugees in Uganda, or somewhere it'll do some good.

It's "offical," I despise them.

:nuke:

Not. :eyes:

Oh well, let the Republics play games. People see them for what they are, and they're only getting worse.

You can look up your state here: http://www.gop.com/Connect/States.aspx

Bombard any wing of the Wing Nut Party you can!

No wonder nobody takes those clowns seriously.

If you click on the phone on Jack's desk, you can send a recorded message to any phone number in Jack's voice.

Oh, dear. Should this be in The Lounge?

Jack to Richard. Said in part, your team sucks, not you but your team...unless you are part of the team and then you suck too.

That's a fun little tool at that site.

to millions of people that are ALSO AGAINST ME to flood my phone line with angry complaints, I'd probably do the same thing and send the calls right back their way. Doesn't make it right, but it does make sense.

what a bunch of fucks.

Like purposefully misdirecting mail to avoid getting your bills? Isn't this purposely undermining the democratic process, and democratic participation by sending angry constituents elsewhere? Seems to me this is more akin to sending out flyers to people in heavily Democratic districts telling them that Dems vote on the day after election day than just being a simple, boyish "prank".

utility, that this sort of activity would be illegal. someone who knows more than me should answer, but on the face of it, seems like an illegal 'bait and switch' or somesuch.

and saying loudly "I'M NOT LISTENING, I'M NOT LISTENING!" Seems pretty immature.

Asshats.

They can't even answer their own phone. They can't fix the healthcare crisis. We can, with your help."
