Calling All Wingnuts

Aside from Hannitys endorsement offer , I especially love the part where Lieberman agrees with Hannity that the Dems have been co-opted by a “hard left” component… And then goes on to criticise Democrats for being weak on national security… I think he pretty much says that Dems arent willing to use the government to […]

After yesterdays Hannity fiasco, I had a real hankerin to get back into the fray with the Fightin Dems… I got my chance in OFalafels second hour, when I was the first caller… It was great, because he had an intro piece about his French boycott and falling French wine sales here in the US… […]

Man, I really screwed this one up.
I called Hannity today, but I’m afraid i didn’t make very much sense at all. You see, Hannity had me holding for nearly 40 minutes and when he came to me, it came as a complete surprise. I had a mouthful of grilled chicken sandwich (and when i say […]

I trimmed the beginning and ends of this call… We talked about the launching of the blog in the beginning and he plugged it again at the end.
Before I get on with the show, just let me say this:
Thank you Tony. This might not win me a lot of friends on this side of the […]

One of his favorite topics, it seems…
Let’s see… when a cartoonist calls Rumsfield incompetent, it’s undermining the war… if you are on the left, you can’t possible love your country, so you must be out to undermine it… I wonder how O’Reilly reconciles that belief with the fact that many more Dems are veterans than […]

The title pretty much speaks for itself, but at a time when everyone gets their panties in a bunch every time the traditional media casts conservatives in a bad light (even if the facts are…. oh, what’s the word??… uhm, BAD)… well, it’s just silly that O’Reilly makes this an issue.
Then again, he’s got an […]

This call is demonstrative of the power of framing. Hannity set the scene: “Name one thing democrats have done in the last five years that has improved our national security.”
What was I supposed to say? Stood out of the way as the Patriot Act was passed (without having been read or debated)? Voted to give […]

This wasn’t the best Limbaugh work I’ve heard, but again, I hope it penetrated some of the simian noggins atop the shoulders of those that make up his listening base….
What was particularly nice about this call, however, is his response – a quintessential non-response. The point of my call was that the same folks that […]

One of my favorite objectives when calling talk radio is to make ditto-heads’ heads explode. I’m not sure how successful I have been (conservatives have the remarkable ability to ignore evidence they don’t like – I believe it’s an evolutionary adaptation that has allowed for their very survival – just don’t try to tell them […]
