Super!

Of course, that simpleton Brian Lamb will have to flood the show with Liberal DNC callers who use his insipid "Independent" line who will begin their call with:

"Good Morning. I want the audience to know I have been a life-long Conservative, but...........................

I don't agree with your assessment of Brian Lamb, but that's the beauty of FR - - we don't have to agree.

Of course Booknotes is not a call-in type program. At the end of each program they used to put the date on the screen when the hour-long Booknotes had been taped. His sit-down with Ann Coulter has probably already taken place.

My bad. BookNotes is not call in. And yes, we don't have to agree on everything.

I am glad C-SPAN is giving Ann Coulter some air time, but her book is #1, so I would expect nothing less.

Brian Lamb was instrumental on C-SPAN changing its call-in format. I am given to understand he sought this change for the following reason: his liberal guests began to scream bloody murder, because they were being challenged too frequently by callers.

Now C-SPAN has this ridiculous Conservative, Liberal, and Independent format, which is abused and rarely enforced. Moreover, it makes a mockery of what C-SPAN said was its original charter.

Couldn't agree with you more. I've emailed and phoned endlessly to suggest C-Span's call in lines should be designated with either AGREE or DISAGREE. The geographical and political party lines make no sense whatsoever.

I agree 100% that C-Span morning show, 'WASHINGTON JOURNAL' has been ruined with the 'politically correct' phone lines.
Tragically, it's gone from 'must see' to 'must miss!' It's incredible that such a small change could do SO much damage.
BOOKNOTES continues to be a wonderful show. I've asked my
cable station to stop funding WASHINGTON JOURNAL now that
it's nothing but a DNC scream-in.

Brian Lamb was intrumental in creating C-SPAN some 25 years ago. He is obviously one of my heroes. Like Don Imus, I think it is impossible to tell where Brian Lamb is coming from politically, although, I understand, he was a low level employee in the Nixon Administration after leaving the Army as an intelligence officer. As for the lines split the way they are, I think it gives the libs enough rope to hang themselves. Most C-SPAN viewers know the score, and in the end, the democrat and seminar callers make themselves look foolish. IMO

I think the main problem with the callers is that due to C-Span's non-partisan format, there is no call screener. This means that there is a succession of tedious wackos on the line.

Okay, where are the Ann Coulter pictures? :D

You know that posting a thread about Ann Coulter requires that it include pictures. It's in the Free Republic MOU.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't see that as a problem. Just more hangin' rope.

Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right
by
Ann Coulter

The immutable fact of politics in America is this: liberals hate conservatives.

Ann Coulter, whose examination of the Clinton impeachment was a major national bestseller and earned widespread praise, now takes on an even tougher issue. At a time when Democrats and Republicans should be overwhelmingly congenial, American political debate has become increasingly hostile, overly personal, and insufferably trivial. Whether conducted in Congress or on the political talk shows, played out at dinners or cocktail parties, politics is a nasty sport.

At the risk of giving away the ending: It’s all liberals’ fault.

Cultlike in their behavior, vicious in their attacks on Republicans, and in almost complete control of mainstream national media, the left has been merciless in portraying all conservatives as dumb, racist, power hungry, homophobic, and downright scary. This despite the many Republican accomplishments of the last few decades, as well as the Bush administration’s expert handling of the country’s affairs in the wake of the worst attacks on American soil and of the war that followed.

With incisive reasoning and meticulous research, Ann Coulter examines the events and personalities that have shaped modern political discourse the bickering, backstabbing, and name-calling that have made cultural mountains out of partisan molehills. She demonstrates how the media, especially, are biased and usually wrongheaded and have done all in their power to obfuscate the issues and the people behind them, bending over backward to villainize and belittle the right, while rarely missing an opportunity to praise the left.

Perhaps if conservatives had had total control over every major means of news dissemination for a quarter century, they would have forgotten how to debate, too, and would just call liberals stupid and mean. But that’s an alternative universe. In this universe, the public square is wall-to-wall liberal propaganda.

Refreshingly honest and unerringly timely, Slander continues where Bernard Goldberg’s number one bestselling Bias left off.
