CSPAN ^ | 04-20-02 | GRRRRR

[Morgan's Raider]

Good job, Kristinn! I know it's hard to think and respond to the commies' insanity off the cuff when they have been rehearsing and rehashing their rhetoric for months. Notice that once they start their spiel they don't stop or take a breath, just like a telemarketer reading his script.

Thanks Jim,

"There can be no real peace while one American is dying some place in the world for the rest of us. We are at war with the most dangerous enemy that has ever faced mankind in his long climb from the swamp to the stars, and it has been said if we lose that war, and in so doing lose this way of freedom of ours, history will record with the greatest astonishment that those who had the most to lose did the least to prevent its happening. . . . If we lose freedom here [in America], there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on Earth."

Ronald Reagan(October 27, 1964)

Kristinn just finished; I didn't want to interrupt my concentration on the conversation by trying to 'Post' at the same time..................................

All in all, Kristinn did an incredible job!!!!!!!! The commie with the knitted-brow tried to look very intimidating and came off as constipated. Kristin was straightforward, honest and truthful. Damn, I'm proud!!!!!!!!!

Becker says, Kristin decides WHO gets to use WMD's in the Middle East.

I am sure Kristinn will excercise his power responsibly. :D

[hellinahandcart]

You did great. Thank you, thank you. It can't be easy to talk over insane people and stay on message. If it had been me I wouldn't have been able to keep myself from reaching over and twisting Brian Becker's nose.

[CaptSkip]

F*** C-span for not taking my call(I speed dialed all three lines)...and only putting on lib F***'s, TYPICAL (except for the black woman, the ONLY anti-left caller I heard).

F*** that leftist F***, hope he and his get a face full of pepper spray today. Move to "Frog-land" and get on your knees.

I'm sure folks on DR are wetting their panties, Women AND Men.

Sorry to be harsh JR in the face of obvious bias.

Yea, FreeRepublic.com is Right! ...rto

Time to ask CSPAN why the FR rally isn't being covered.

viewer@c-span.org

[healey22]

C-Span was censoring callers today. I got through on the Republican line and the screener asked me if I was a Republican and I thought, duh, I am calling on the Republican line. She asked me what my comment was and I told her I was going to comment on the demonstrations today and was waiting to comment. She said ok and then hung up on me. I have called C-Span many times and they have never asked my ahead of time what my comment would be before they put they put me on the air. C-Span was intentionally trying to slant the view in favor of the blame America first crowd today. Patriots were getting through on the lines but they were screening the calls and hanging up on us.

[Mudboy Slim]

Great job, kristinn!!

FReegards...MUD

[alisasny]

Profanity is NOT going to change the bias.

[hellinahandcart]

I just heard one caller ask why the ANSWER rally was being covered and the Patriots' rally was not.

Does anyone know when coverage starts? I hope I get a chance to see some of it, though I probably won't get another chance to be online today (there's an 85th-birthday party that requires my presence later).

For those who missed ANSWER's rally on Sept 29, try to catch some of this one. These things are freak shows (and at the same time, most instructive).

[M Kehoe]

That Becker guy would actually be funny if he wasn't so ugly.

I know, ad hominem attack.

[CaptSkip]

Trying to calm down now...C-Span is supposed to be for the public good, public trust, and all that FCC stuff. BUT THEY'RE NO DIFFERENT THAN NPR!!!

[alisasny]

It is probably that the commie rats were calling the Republican line and saying all kinds of nasty stuff so that they would not take legitamite calls for the Republican line.

Did any of the "republican" line callers say something that was meant for the "rat" line?

Did the "rats" purposely block up the GOP line?

My guess is yes.

YOu know Beckers crew were manning the phones for all 3 lines. This little show was their 15 minutes of fame. : ))

[CaptSkip]

"Profanity is NOT going to change the bias."

Yes I know...my bad...but since I can't bust heads...I sometimes curse. SORRY. Those at DR don't even use the *..., even in their post titles.

[Piquaboy]

I just completed an e-mail to C-Span expressing my disgust at the host for allowing that socialist Brian Becker three times as much time to spout his anti-American garbage as Kristinn was allowed to speak in disagreement.

[Piquaboy]

C-Span allows the conservatives to be out numbered in that the liberals have two lines to call in on which they take advantage of. They call in on both the Democrat line and the Other line.
