38. It's so refreshing to hear the truth |
|
for a change. President Gore's speech yesterday was so inspiring and today we hear more honest info re: the insane right wingers. These people have corrupted the minds of so many people with ongoing hate propaganda, obviously noted by the caller who called Brock a @#@#@#@.
I fear for our country.

6. Bush and Moon connection. Anchor says "should it not exist?" |
|
Brock says read the book. Read comments made by Moon over the years and this connection should be offensive.

|
Franken seems to be beating Bush in the New York area. It took time for the RW (Limbaugh and Hannity failed at the beginning). We must be patient and not expect immediate success for a liberal effort.

12. Never Saw Brock Before...This Is A Treat |

Finally, a good guest on C-Span.
Obviously a better writer than speaker, but that stat about the 300 hours of hate radio a day vs. 5 hours of liberal is real powerful.

I love Brock. I read "Blinded by the Right" and THAT book and David Brock are what got me involved in politics. I was SOOOOOO pissed off at the RW after I finished that book. I would have been remiss to just sit back and do nothing. The repubs are a frightening bunch of people.

31. callers like that get a sexual thrill from the hatred in their souls |
|
like when a klansman would appear on oprah, they just get an erection at the shocked audience reactions to their filth.
it's definitely a sexual charge for them to release all this hatred through the mouth, rather than another exit.

Caller called Brock "Mr. Bob," mixed up Washington Times with Washington Post, and said he wants to be "another Bob Woodruff."
How stupid are these people? And he's asking about Brock's education?!!

I'm sure the guy was blindsided when Brock gave him his background. The guy talked about Brock shaving his beard and taking off his beads...and then Brock goes on to give him his background and it's steeped in the most conservative of conservative media and groups! Brock then says that when he walked away from the conservative machine he walked away from a very lucrative lifestyle. I bet the guy's head spun completely around :)

30. We had David Brock as a guest a couple of weeks ago |
|
And he was a great guest. This guy knows the inside of the Right-Wing beast very well. He has facts and figures that can be backed up. We asked him about Richard Melon Scaife and he gave some facinating details of how how Scaife has spent 400 to 500 million dollars pumping up the Right-Wing smear machine.

34. About the poll: reporters can have liberal or libertarian outlooks |
|
but that does not mean that their personal views are reflected in the content of their writings even when the RW have tried to prove the "leftist" slant.

This, of course, "proves" that cotton plantations were mostly "liberal."

was she the one who said that "we"(the rich) are taxed too much in the country, but then stopped in mid-sentence, and said something to the effect of, "well, not we". I'm not sure that she knew that she was even herself. If that makes sense.

49. It's good (for us) that Brock shaved his beard and threw away his beads... |
|
as one of the RWingnut callers accused him of doing. Otherwise I guess Brock wouldn't be credible? And I guess since he's not wearing either, he's "cleaned up his act" and trying to look like one of them?
That was a perfect example of a smear/innuendo tactic - the object being discredited is somehow linked with THE 60's!!!
