"When I watch the news people stand here and tell me that I am a member of a hired mob, that I've been called up by the Republican Party, they only wish they could have done something like this. I've never been contacted by any organized group."

So fabulously stated a caller during Saturday's "Washington Journal" on C-SPAN in a monologue that is likely to go viral throughout the Internet and possibly make the speaker America's next Joe the Plumber.

The same could be said about my husband. Then recently he kept asking me “what are they saying on Free Republic, etc.” 3 days ago he became a freeper. :) He used to say, “NOthing we do matters, they will do what they want to.” Now he’s saying “Let’s fight this!” Now if I can just get him to D.C. on Sept. 12th, I’ll be ecstatic.

She was terrific! I loved watching the expressions of the C-Span hosts—esp. the younger one—Priceless ;)

[Marysecretary]

OOOHHHHWWWWWEEEEE. She’s great. She said it all. The one guy was very uncomfortable, LOL. I love it.

2 news reader dick heads. What did you expect from them ?

[MayflowerMadam]

I love how she brought up the race issue — pointed out that BLACK guys from SEIU beat up a BLACK protestor.

Is this great or what....telling this just like most Americans throughout America feel...

[STARWISE]

She is AWESOME!

“they have sent in their paid thugs”

AT 0’s and SEBILIUS’s REQUESTS to hit back hard. What would the media have done had Pres. Bush incited his supporters to do violence to those who expressed “patriotic dissent”?

[loungeSerf]

Oh man, that was terrific. Leah just yanked the program out from under phony ad hominem of Pelosi and Boxer types along with those two bobble-heads. That was beautiful!

[meyer]

Great job by Leah. And she’s absolutely right. These so-called elected representatives have jumped the shark - they’re no longer capable of carrying out their constitutional duties. Nearly all need to be removed from office.

[popdonnelly]

Yeah, dressing up like clowns and playing the fool has long been considered making a statement by some people.

[maica]

What an excellent caller. When she identified herself as independent, the cspan host must have been expecting something entirely different. She really got in under the radar.

[Vicki]

She was so right on about everything. The looks on the guy on the left was priceless. Wonderful video.
