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.

I just forwarded all my spam mail to flag@whitehouse.gov. When they look at all their “Ratting for Obama” stuff they will find spam for Amazon, Acai berry and even a colon cleanser...hope they take that last one to heart.
Lets flood them with loads of “fishy” spam.

Bravo Mr. Steele!!!

Okay children, here is our chance to begin the training of the RNC. This trick got coverage for them. Now let’s send them a little token $$$. Like Pavlovian’s dog, we reward them when they do something right and withold when they don’t. Maybe they will learn. Be sure to tell them why you sen the money. Doesn’t have to be much. Just a “treat” for a good trick.

“Now let’s send them a little token $$$.”

I did just that. After seeing their new ad on the failed Obama experiment I’m sending more tomorrow.

Proves they don’t care what the public wants - just wear them out and let them slink home.

With that mindset (Obama has this too), we need more action to stop this. When our views mean nothing, our actions need to remove those people in office. Get ready for 2010 and the elections. There must be massive numbers voting them out no matter how much the dems user voter fraud.

Wow! I am liking this!
It’s way past time the GOP abandoned the Marquis of Queensbury rules and went for the jugular.

Actually, her original email was friendly and polite, and it seems her response to the error was sincere (she offered apologies twice). Simple mistake.

I've gotten some truly incoherent garbage over e-mail in my day.

Let's hope this young lady escapes from The Dark Side. She's too polite to be a liberal.

ROFLMAO
Obama is getting slammed with his own book of dirty tricks.

They didn’t listen to the tea parties, Obama said he never even heard of them. Pelosi called it astro turff.

Their problem is although they have mastered Ansky’s play book, they don’t know what to do now that they are in power. They are going crazy with power now and do whatever they think that they can.

I am SURE at this point that they are saying that they have more people than they do who want health care by far.
The adds they are making show me one thing I am more convinced of now than ever, democrats are afraid.
Obama is afraid that he can’t get his agenda through and he bit off more than he can chew.

The MSM will start questioning him soon because they have lost so much credibility that people are turning off their televisions.

BIG mistake by the DNC playing hard ball with the population. They could get away with it if it were true that it was just insurance companies, but it isn’t and they have stepped over the line.

They have stimulated the population like never before.

Have to give them credit for one thing, they have raised the consciousness of everyday average americans who really do not want the governments involvement in their lives.
They have started a revolution against their take over of our freedom and they will not like the end result.

>Dude ! What are you doing ? This is a PRIME opportunity to infiltrate the enemy camp and inflict maximum damage !<

They don’t need any help, they are doing a fine job of destroying themselves.
What we really NEED o infiltrate is ABC, MSNBC, CNN, The NY TIMES etc etc etc and stop the Obama propaganda machine. We need to just let people know what low down scheming lying backbiting arm twisting falsifying double dealing race baiting anger projecting fascists are running this country.

If the MSM would be fair, report as they should we would NEVER have come to this day.

You can’t ask the guy to risk his livelihood to be a secret agent. Sounds fun though. :-D
