Repub guy on Franken show was a lunatic

[KelleyKramer]

Just heard a Repub guy on Frankens radio show and the guy was a barking lunatic.. Said Bush has a good environmental record, said global warming was not based on science.. He got more ridiculous from there.

Also said he was worried Bush would move to the left in a second term.. WTF???!

Im working at the same time so didn’t catch his name.. Anyone know who that was?

1. Boosh Moving To The Left Really Worries Me

I don't want that idiot giving the left a bad name.

2. he is Ben Stein

used to be a host of a game show called win Ben Stein's money.
He also donated money to Ralph Nadar with other slimy republicans

6. I think he's talking about the guy...

...Franken talked to AFTER Ben Stein. I caught his name but I've forgotten it already.

[Gelliebeans]

8. listening to air america on internet

so I apologize if I was misinfomed but he is on the internet right now

[KelleyKramer]

13. The guy that was on after him ...

According to a poster below, it was Rich Viguerie... the guy was a raving loony!!

Said something to the effect that Democrats were selling baby body parts.

[skypilot]

3. Are you talking about...

...the "baby parts" guy? That was just so damned surreal.

[Skidmore]

4. Yeah, and he kept referring to the

Democrat Party. I wrote to Franken's show and ask them to correct people when they do this.

5. Stein is a Judas for the republicans

He is an unfunny comedic actor and fake intellectual.

11. Stein spoke to Parents

Weekend at Rochester Institute of Technology last fall. My wife and I went to hear him. His conservative spin received some applause from the parents....very little support when he spoke about Bush if i remember correctly.

[sui generis]

7. that "bush moving to the left" thing

This is where we need to seize the advantage. The really radical rabid right republicans really do believe that Bush is only "faking" being a conservative, by reason that he hasn't rounded up all the pinko terraist homos and A-Rabs and put them in concentration camps.

We need to exploit that if we can . . . anybody up for a good lurk in freepworld? The more we can associate today's republicanism with the complete loony tunes nutjobs that support them the better.

I for one don't want them to seem even remotely moderate - because it will scare away the lunatic fringe.

9. "Baby parts" guy is direct mail evil genius Rich Viguerie...

... and yes, he was plugging one of the few right-wing books worth reading, because it's the communication, stupid!

Among Viguerie's sane and lucid comments was one stating that Dems and progressives have done a better job organizing on the 'Net than GOPers and Cro-Magnoservatives. Eat that, Jim Robinson!

[KelleyKramer]

14. Yes, THAT guy

Yeah, it was the direct mail guy, and when you put together that he is a complete nutt and has mailed literally millions of pieces out.. thats almost scary to think about.

Thanks for posting his name.

[Cleita]

10. That was Ben Stein. You know "Win Ben Stein's Money".

Franken got him to admit he got his points from "The Heritage Foundation", which is part of the neo-con cabal. Most of what they say is researched can be discredited if you take the time.

[Gelliebeans]

12. He is also a spokesman for Visine

--will buy another eye drop--

[Athletic Grrl]

23. which is why I buy

Clear Eyes. :hi:

[GRLMGC]

24. I think he advertises for clear eyes

I'm pretty sure he does.

[realFedUp]

15. forgodsake, get some fun liberals on....

Maybe because they are trapped in the RNC
media center they can't get anyone who
doesn't have credentials....but this is
painful to listen to.

[KelleyKramer]

17. Fun? The selling baby parts was funny as hell

And the guy was totally serious.. I love it when he puts those people on.

Hopefully he'll have Hannity on again at this convention too.

[realFedUp]

16. Norm from AEI??????

ohforgodsake. If I wanted to listen to
these guys I'd watch Faux

[realFedUp]

18. Forget the AEI guy, put E.J. on

oy

[realFedUp]

19. GepTart on now....

Bet Gep gets a job in the new administration.

[realFedUp]

20. Al asks Gep why haven't republicans mentioned bin laden...

yeah.

[realFedUp]

21. Bush flip-flop on "winnable" war on terrorism

Gep says maybe a half-sommersault. tongue in cheek.

[realFedUp]

22. Hey Al, ask Norm about that Congressman from Virginia Beach
