RATS INVADING TALK RADIO WITH LIES, HYPERBOLE, AND DECEPTION

talk radio | 1-10-04 | DFU

[Recovering_Democrat]

Those of you who listen to talk radio have been hearing it more and more. The conversation might start out with, "I voted for George Bush, but....." or "I tend to be conservative, but....." or "I am a moderate and vote the man not the party, but....."

Trust me. As a person who listens to talk radio between 10-18 hours a day and who has made over 2,000 calls to talk radio shows, my observations are usually correct. When you hear those words, you will know that a RAT seminar caller is calling in to attack President Bush.

Heck, Doug...they're not only on talk radio nowadays...THEY'RE ALL OVER FREE REPUBLIC TOO. SOME HAVE EVEN BEEN registered for several months!

You will love this.

Yesterday a caller to Sean Hannity identified himself as a member of the Green party but that he was also "conservative".


BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

They're doing it here too.

Someone who joined 2/2/04 posted that seven factories have just closed in their town and their town isn't even very large. I asked what kinds of businesses they were and got no reply. There's conservative doom and gloom types at FR who believe this kind of baloney.

[finnman69]

You must be talking about those Moby Democrats.

That's ok...there are plenty of RW Kerry supporters over at DUmmyland who will soon find 'buyer's remorese'.

Heh heh.

They're doing it here too. Their big kickoff was yesterday. I counted over 15 newbies posting vanities and other irrelevancies.

They're also spamming newspapers all over the country with letters to the editor. The papers, of course, are only too delighted to print their childish rants. They all mention "oil", "Haliburton", the "Bush regime", "AWOL", etc. It gets tiresome, especially when the entire op/ed page is filled with the same letter with slightly different phraseology, repeated over and over again.

stop the RaTS________________________ or prepare for Civil War!

They are going to peak too soon.

Keep the faith, baby.

I'm not worried about up-front liberals who want to argue. It's the deceptive ones who are posing as conservatives. It's the "Moby" contingent that has been spotted on FR.

For those who don't know, the pop star Moby apparently boasted a few days ago about how he and other leftists were involved in a movement to call in/write in to conservative sites and pretend to be conservatives attacking George Bush.

While there are certainly things on which various conservatives might disagree with Bush, however, these folks are not interested in disagreeing or changing things by arguing: Their last line is always, "...but I won't be voting for Bush,"or "I'll vote for any Dem over somebody who is not a TRUE conservative."

Be very, very careful, folks. JR is aware of this and is doing is best to nab them, but there are a lot of them out there, trolling away.

Moby spotters should be up in the rigging right now, looking for the plume...

Those must be the sleeper trolls, waiting to be activated.

Hello? Welcome to Free Republic...........?

[LuigiBasco]

I have listened to a few of then also and you can just tell that they are literally foaming at the mouth to get their talking points in as fast as possible.
Rush does not put up with them for more than a second or two!

Rush nails them pretty quickly.

[johnny7]

Shhhh.... don't scare him away. Fresh blood!

[Poohbah]

And we have "seminar posters" on Free Republic.

Amazing what Soros' walking-around money can do, eh?

[EggsAckley]

Heheheh! Be my guest, johnny.

[WinOne4TheGipper]

We're getting seminar posters here. Hell, do a search on keyword "zot" and there's one at the top right now.

"stop the RaTS________________________ or prepare for Civil War!"

Perhaps you'd care to explain your post.

[RabidBartender]

Advocating the use of force to usurp the democratic process is a no-no.
