Kilmeade Update
Published by Mike Stark July 17th, 2006 in UncategorizedAs many of you know, I’ve teamed up with JC CHristian and Operation Yellow Elephant to create a grassroots movement that has the goal of encouraging Brian Kilmeade of Fox News, a rabid war supporter, to enlist in the Army.
This is your update.
So far, the entire operation has met nothing but defeat. We’ve been completely shut out in our two days of attempts. They seem to be adhering to a two-prong strategy:
- They’ve stopped taking calls from liberals
- They’ve reduced the number of calls that they do take
In addition, the delay (a device they use to make sure obscenities aren’t broadcast) has been increased from about 7 second to close to a minute. I do believe that allows them to seemlessly splice out any callers that bring the subject up.
I, however, am well versed in their style of warfare. We didn’t give up after the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor, did we? No! And we won’t give up here either.
Advice for callers:
- Pretend to be a moderate conservative that agrees with the host when you reach the screener. Listen to the program, find something silly to agree with, add your own dash of spice and spit it out for the screener when asked. For instance, today’s question was “Is this WWIII?” You could have called and said “Yes, this is WWIII, and it’s about time. Israel has been so oppressed for so long - how much longer are they supposed to worry about riding the busses to work? We take so much for granted here in the US, it’s hard for us to imagine how the people live in Israel. But I know if it were me, I’d be welcoming the opportunity to finish this once and for all.”
- Hold for as long as it takes for them to take your call and then give them about half of your talking point before launching into an appeal for Kilmeade to fight the war himself. He’s damned good at cheering war on - and with all that make-up, he looks pretty doing it - but why doesn’t he put his own as in the fire?
We aren’t gonna let this go by. Climb on board and have some fun.

Just to inform you, it was Japan, not Germany that attacked Pearl Harbor. Keep up the good work! Enjoy the site.
I’m no expert, but if they’re able to utilize a full minute then all calls from now on are gonna be difficult. I assume the delay is linked to the start of the call, so that it’s as if the entire call did not happen.
1. As Mike said, make your point long so that they have to use more of the delay time.
2. If you get 2 or more calls back to back that they want to dump, they CANNOT use the delay because there was no buildup from the previous call.
So long as the calls get through, I guess the impact will be noticed. Unless there’s a way to record straight from the telephone.
Clearly, Chris has never seen “Animal House.” Of course, the end of the scene sounds like a meeting in the Situation Room at the White House:
D-Day: War’s over, man. Wormer dropped the big one.
Bluto: Over? Did you say “over”? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
Otter: Germans?
Boon: Forget it, he’s rolling.
Bluto: And it ain’t over now. ‘Cause when the goin’ gets tough… [thinks hard] …the tough get goin’! Who’s with me? Let’s go! [runs out, alone; then returns]
Bluto: What the fuck happened to the Delta I used to know? Where’s the spirit? Where’s the guts, huh? “Ooh, we’re afraid to go with you Bluto, we might get in trouble.” Well just kiss my ass from now on! Not me! I’m not gonna take this. Wormer, he’s a dead man! Marmalard, dead! Niedermeyer…
Otter: Dead! Bluto’s right. Psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody’s part.
Bluto: We’re just the guys to do it.
D-Day: Let’s do it.
Bluto: LET’S DO IT!
Chris, ever watch Animal House?

‘Forget it, he’s on a roll….’
Never saw Animal House, except the Congress and the Congress here in Taiwan. Both are quite the joke.
Had no clue it was a reference to a movie.
Killmeade is a rabid right-wing chickenhawk fanatic. I remember seeing him tear into Jeanine Garoffalo (Sp?) and label her a “Sadaam-loving liberal” just before the staRT of the Iraq war. He’s a snake who cares nothing for the American people. Treasoness f***wad!
I SUCCEEDED.
Yes today at 10:50 AM EST I got through to Brian Kilmeade.
I was very calm with the screener and told her that I believed Hezbollah was a terrorist group (it is) and wanted to know at what point the world might turn on Israel. I constantly emphasized to the screener terrorist Hezbollah, terrorist Hezbollah, terrorist Hezbollah.
When I took to the air, I started by saying that I supported Israel’s right to take out terrorist Hezbollah but quickly shifted gears and said, “take out terrorist Hezbollah and all the weapons that the republicans gave them in the 1980s.” I then asked why Brian Kilmeade hasn’t signed up to go fight in Iraq? That got the “oh my god” and whining. Then they blasted their Marine song.
One of the key talking points for Dems should be that it was the Republicans who funded Hezbollah and gave Hezbollah weapons.
