Calling All Wingnuts

I posted this over at Kos…  I’m not sure how I’m going to get around the repetitive diary rule over there, but all this week I’m organizing a call-in to Hannity’s show…

We want to know where Joe Lieberman has been.

Last we heard…  well, here’s the audio…  and here’s how it started:

The Lovefest
SEAN HANNITY RADIO SHOW, FEBRUARY 10, 2006
HANNITY: He’s agreed to do this program once a month, we hold him to it, he’s keeping his pledge, Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut is with us. How are you, Senator? 

LIEBERMAN: Sean, I’m great, how are you doing?

HANNITY: I’m good. Now listen, before we get into all the stuff that we need to talk about, there’s a lot of news here. I need to know, yes or no, do you want my public support, do you want my endorsement, do you think that hurts your re-election efforts, do you want me to come out in opposition of you, I want to do what’s in your best interests, you gotta tell me what you want me to do.

LIEBERMAN: Yeah. Well, you know, it’s good of you to ask me in private like this. (Laughter)
(thanks to MyLeftNutmeg for the transcription.)

It’s been 82 days since holy Joe made audio love to Sean Hannity.  It looks like Joe might’ve come to regret his promise…  Let’s not let him forget it.

Joe may want to put the past behind him, but with Ned Lamont steaming ahead and approaching juggernaut status…  Well, I think it’s time we throw Holy Joe an anchor…

Sean Hannity is one of the easier of the windbag radio shows to call.  His show runs from 3-6 on weekdays and his phone number is 1 800 941 7326.

Our plan:  Call Hannity starting at about 2:55 EST.  If you get a busy signal, just hit redial.  Eventually you will get through.  The screener will ask you what you want to talk about.  This week, there will be all sorts of interesting things to choose from. Construct any old talking point - liberal or conservative - it doesn’t matter because it’s not what you’ll be talking about anyway. Need some help thinking of something to say? Congress is back in session so you can talk about immigration…  the CIA firing will be a big topic…  so will race and the Duke rape case…  the Sunday gasbags are always good to bring up on Monday…  

Anyway, have a short and snappy opinion (email me at stark dot m at gmail dot com if you want help) prepared for the screener.  She’ll ask you to hold.  While you are holding, you’ll be forced to listen to Sean rant and rave…  Sorry, there is just no getting around it.  Every now and then, the screener might come on the line to tell you to “keep it brief”.  Keep holding…

When Hannity finally announces your name and where you are calling from, you are on the air…  you are live.

It’s time to remind Hannity that Joe Lieberman (don’t say Holy Joe or Joementum - we want all 10 million of Sean’s listeners to know exactly who we are speaking of) promised to do Hannity’s show once a month…  Why has he been absent for the last two months?  Ask Hannity why he isn’t keeping his solemn vow to his audience - why isn’t he holding Joe Lieberman to his promise?

The last time we did anything like this, we targeted Bill O’Reilly for dumping on Keith Olbermann.  That worked out pretty well.  O’Reilly really showed his ass and ended up the target of derision for weeks…

Let’s do the same to Holy Joe and Sean Hannity…

Please recommend - we need all the callers we can get.

and by the way…  I’ll be recording the show all week.  Every caller that gets through will be posted at CallingAllWingnuts.
