RNC Routes Angry Phone Calls to DNC
The Political Wire ^ | 08/05/2009

Posted on 08/05/2009 3:24:08 PM PDT by Ultra Sonic 007

Republicans played a trick on Democrats today by redirecting angry telephone calls coming into their switchboard to the Democratic National Committee, CNN reports.

"The DNC released a Web video early in the morning accusing the GOP of inciting mob activity at town hall meetings. At the end of the video, the DNC instructs people to call the Republican National Committee to express outrage. Callers who dial the RNC's main number to voice their concern about the DNC's charges are told to press 1, which sends them to the DNC's main switchboard."

Update: The Washington Independent reports RNC Chairman Michael Steele took full credit for the phone prank.

Apparently Tom Mabe is the RNC’s newest consultant.

The DNC is clearly a group of hard left morons that don’t know where the line is.

this would probably fit good in the darwin award videos. Anyone have videos of the switch board operator. Maybe we can do a old “one ringy dingy” skit lol

Obama is probably going to have Rahm and his goons try to find the guy who invented call forwarding and have him arrested for treason.

I got a call yesterday from the DNC with a long winded recording designed to get me a teary eyed and ready to fire a check off......instead they got a long winded earful about how worthless they are about everything from running mccain to their spinelessness on sotomayor, porkulus and healthcare, when I paused to catch a breath she tried to interject as I hung up

I just donated $25. Can’t recall the last time I felt motivated. That was worth it.
