Has anyone here ever tried to get on Hammity's program?
The one thing I hate is when a "liberal" calls into his show, and they can't seem to put a cohesive sentence together, or when Hannibot starts bringing up his RW talking points, they seem dumbfounded. Every now and then I'll hear a caller that will make me proud, that really puts Hannity on his back, sending him into his pre-programmed rants. You know the ones, you could record one of these, play it back later on while he's on another rant, and it would match word-for-word, in perfect cadence.

I know that just about any of us on DU could tear him to shreds easily. My only problem is that public speaking is definitely not my strong point, and I know I would come off sounding flustered, and then Hannity would declare victory.

1. I've often wondered if some of those so called liberal callers.........
are in fact plants. They certainly seem to help marginalize the progressive argument and serve to make Hannity look like a know it all.

3. Think so too....
These shows are nothing more that propaganda machines for the RW talking points put out by Rove every morning.

4. I've wondered the same thing
Hannity always says that he likes to put "liberal" callers at the front of the line, and take their calls first. I'm sure that some of these callers are in fact plants.

But part of it is also the fact that a lot of people just aren't comfortable talking on the radio. It really is a huge difference, I've called into a local talk show (Phillips Phile in Orlando) several times, and it really can be quite intimidating. It's easy to forget what you're going to say, and if the host senses any weakness at all, they'll go for the jugular, deliberately trying to get you flustered. Hammity has mastered this technique.

2. He exploited a woman on her death bed.

I cant stand the hermaphrodite let alone listen to the trash bag bottom feedding pissant. Hey you all can listen to him if you want but like I said I cant stand the little maggot. I'll never understand the allure of right wing radio.

6. Likely that they screen them to keep the intelligence factor of libs
from being shown.

If you're about as coherent as a drunk Larry the Cable Guy for the left, they'll probably send you through . . . especially if you babble like you've been probed by aliens several times . . .
