Yes, Brian Lamb, in an interview when he changed the phone lines stated that he did it because they were getting to many "hate" calls.

Maybe he thinks his calls now are "love" calls?
The venom they allow on those call-in segments would choke the world's most poisonous snake. But of course, it's not hate when it comes from the Left.
