6. Sam maentioned...

"we have been visited by someone from a federal bureau, of investigation"....then Sam and Janeane address the agent and ask him if he wants to come on the air, apparantly he declined..

[slinkerwink]

10. that is so fucked!

did their conversation continue or was it cut off?

[Imalittleteapot]

8. Agent on AAR now.

They're monitoring radio stations. WTF?

[Postman]

11. Stopped by to "wish them well"...

he's on the air now....

We're conducting investigations, our motives are no where near how you and your colleagues in the media would portray it to be..

Sam- Why are you HERE?....agent asked Sam what they plan to talk about during the Republican National Convention...

[slinkerwink]

12. that is SO fucked up!!!!!!!!!

[NightTrain]

13. Sam Seder is fucking livid!

He REALLY didn't appreciate it when that FBI agent called him "a person of interest."

Garofalo ain't too happy, either.

[jimshoes]

14. We are living in a fucking police state

Christ almighty on a fucking crutch. OK folks. It appears to have started.

[jimshoes]

38. Never mind

Sheesh!

[Postman]

15. Will FBI "visit" WABC?

n/t

[bpilgrim]

16. this is a good sketch

:evilgrin:

peace

[Khephra]

18. I don't think this is a "Sketch"

IF so, then S & J are much better actors than I thought they were.

[slinkerwink]

19. I don't think it's a sketch

[Imalittleteapot]

22. Ya think?

[NightTrain]

25. Hmm.... You think this might be a put-on?

Actually, it is possible. After all, two weeks ago, Seder and Garofalo put an AAR intern on the air and had him pretend to be the son of one of the "Swiftboat Veterans for Truth."

[bpilgrim]

34. he's too articulate ;-)

and he'd be fired tomorrow if he was legit :hi:

peace

[brainshrub]

17. This guy can't POSSIBLY be from the FBI.

They had me going for 30 seconds... but this pisses me off. (i.e. "War of the Worlds")

[slinkerwink]

23. I think he's from FBI--Sam and Janeane sounds pissed

[brainshrub]

49. You got a better word?

:P

BTW: I love your sig line.

[slinkerwink]

51. yeah, whatever. A better bit of advice to you would be for you to

hold your tongue.

[brainshrub]

55. Are you upset at me now?

[onehandle]

20. It's a joke, you guys. nt

[LittleApple81]

27. If it is, it is excellent! If not, the FBI will have his gonads! n/t

[onehandle]

31. Or not....

:tinfoilhat:

[gmoney]

21. This guy is good...

...if he ain't real, he is good.

[librechik]

24. it's a bit, comrades

very deadpan and convincing, but a bit.

[slinkerwink]

26. how do you know? did they say it was a bit?

[ithacan]

28. dresses up as a black guy!

okay, this answers my question... This has to be a sketch!

[librechik]

32. yeah, that was over the top n/t

[DancingBear]

29. It's a parody, everyone!

Calm down...

War Of The Worlds circa 2004

[rooboy]

30. This is very funny... LOL n/t

[librechik]

39. he's gonna go on the Circline disguised as a pirate!

snarf

[Postman]

33. Man these guys are good...

I need to lighten up..........

Damned if I wouldn't have put it past this fascist Bush crowd to do such a thing.

[NuttyFluffers]

35. "i am attracted to the building..."

"like trick or treat, like a meet and greet, in clown costumes, carrying balloons..."

:D this is adorable, and quite funny.

[Postman]

48. that is too GD funny..

n/t

[Imalittleteapot]

36. Says he dresses up as a black man as an

infiltration technique. Dresses up as a hobo. This is a joke.

[in_cog_ni_to]

37. This HAS to be a JOKE!

It has to be! BUT....Janeane and Sam seems genuinely PISSED OFF. Good actors?

This has to be a joke!

[Khephra]

41. They had me until the Hobo shit

Thank goodness they pushed it into being silly. The hosts were doing "pissed off" way too well.

[slinkerwink]

42. I have no idea, but I'm pissed and don't think it's funny

[Imalittleteapot]

43. Just heard a Janeane giggle at the end of the

SKIT. Damn. They had me going.

[hlthe2b]

45. I think someone is pulling a prank on them....

maybe to make a point.....? Talking about visiting "Meet and Greets" as Publisher ClearingHouse with balloons....

Definitely gotta be a hoax, but I think the joke is on J&S

[librechik]

46. they punk'd us good--they've been reading our posts, no doubt

and know what we fear!

[onecitizen]

47. OMG!! This is too funny!

This is a joke right?

[onecitizen]

50. That's not funny!

when he said he knew a lot of black folk cause he spent a lot of time in WV.......I knew something was wrong. And The Citadel in WV? Hardly.

[brentspeak]

52. It was kind of funny, but also a bit annoying

The idea of Air America radio perpetuating a fraud about the FBI checking up on them doesn't strike me as being very responsible, however much in jest it was done.

[Khephra]

53. I totally agree

Some of us have had real-life encounters with narcs and undercover agents. It should have been funny from the start and then it would have been easier to take.

[Eloriel]

54. Yeah, I'm not amused reading about it either n/t
