Watching now. Calls are 80% hateful liberals. Disgraceful slime.

HIGH FLIGHT

Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds -- and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of -- wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long, delirious burning blue,
I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew.
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untresspassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

--John Gillespie Magee, Jr. (1922-1941)

I had to mute CSPAN.

You would think the phone moderator would tell the hate callers that 'now isn't the time for that' and hang up.

The phone moderator was allowing some very hateful callers to ramble on and on. That is not appropriate.

[mikemc282002]

It's a sad example of what can only be described as the fanatical hatred of the left. One would think President Regan were running for reelection from some of these comments. I don't know if DumpsterU is organizing this call in effort, but it's completely disgusting.

[Texas Eagle]

"Hello American. Hello Freedom Man."

Chills up the spine.

[Howlin]

You are kidding? People are saying ugly things TODAY?

[Howlin]

Good God.

And people want to turn the government back over to those people?

[mikemc282002]

Yes TODAY - not two hours after the news broke. Hateful vicious liberals calling in talking points from 1984.

[perfect stranger]

[BJClinton]

And people want to turn the government back over to those people?

These people want the government turned back over to themselves. I think their remarks may help win back some of the 'Reagan Democrats' that might have slipped away.

[Howlin]

There are people on this very site who had sworn not to vote for Bush. They are just as culpable.

[Larry Lucido]

"as government expands, liberty contracts."

So true.

[Texas Eagle]

You can return the favor starting at 6:20. If I get through, I won't even acknowledge what the RATS have been saying. I will simply say God bless Ronald and Nancy Reagan and God bless America.

[mikemc282002]

An older woman who identified herself as a democrat actually called up crying at the inappropriate comments she was hearing. It's just scary to hear these people - within minutes of the news - scrambling to politicize this sad day. They are truly disturbed.

[Howlin]

Self portrait?

[Howlin]

Good god.

I already have this on tape. I think I taped it when it really happened.
