A lady called in BAWLING, afraid Bush was going to lose on Sean Hannity!

[Quixote1818]

I am not kidding! This lady calls in crying her eyes out!!! Hannity was like "What's wrong, what's wrong???" Then she went on to say that she was so afraid Bush was going to loose!!! It was so pathetic I almost threw up! She went on to call herself a security Mom and was afraid for her children. I really don't think it had that much to do with her children that she was crying but this "security mom" thing makes me worry about the undecideds.

I will say Kerry better shore up his tough stance on Terror this last week or we may lose a number of wimpy stupid Moms who think Bush will better protect her children. To me this is Kerry's one and only vulnerability and it's just the type of thing that could swing the undecideds Bush's way if we are not careful. When people are fearful especially when Moms worry about their children they will do ANYTHING to protect them. If Kerry can make them believe he will protect them then my friends this election is in the bag.

[hippiechick]

1. Balling ? Isn't that indecent ?

Spell check ? :evilgrin:


:hippie:

[Flubadubya]

14. That's what happens to women who loose!

:evilgrin: Sorry. Couldn't help myself.

[delete_bush]

77. Not if her name is Molly

Good golly miss molly, sure like to ball.
Good golly miss molly, sure like to ball.
When you’re rockin’ and a rollin’ can’t hear your momma call.

[NMDemDist2]

2. bawling (balling is a sexual act) hehehe n/t

[ruggerson]

3. What will "security moms" think of

All those explosives getting into the hands of terrorists on Bush's watch?

[shivaji]

32. Was *Bush* watching the explosives personally or was it someone

in the military to blame?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

37. Bush didn't send enough troops so it became a "medium" priority (dropped)

[susanna]

41. Dropped to below the priority

of the Ministry of Oil.

[ruggerson]

61. Last I looked, he's the CIC

for two more months anyway

[DemBones DemBones]

80. It should have been policy to go in and protect any stores of

weapons or ammo found in Iraq. They claimed to know where WMDs were stored and supposedly had good intelligence about a lot of what was on the ground in Iraq.
Bush* appointed Rumsfeld, who called a lot of the shots, telling the military what to do, and this is probably another example of a Rumsfeld screw-up.

Ultimately, the buck stops on Bush*'s desk.

[Rjnerd]

84. They must have told the soldiers to specifically leave them

Its doctrine, pounded into skulls in basic, that if you can't secure a weapon, you destroy it. Otherwise it gets used against you.

So absent an order to guard the thing, some major should have ordered everyone to a safe distance, and tried out a fancy laser guided detonator. Wouldn't have been the first time the site blew up, according to NYT.

I forget, was rummy the one member of the team that actually served?

[bobbieinok]

82. oh yes.......can't see anyone believing W will protect them after this

and if you pay any attention to the story at all, it just gets worse.....W only learned about this recently

this is why repubs are trying to spin this as just democratic desperation campaigning

[Beaverhausen]

No sex threads

[trotsky]

4. I wonder how she will cry when he children get drafted

to fight in the ongoing oil wars.

[Doctor_J]

5. the word is "lose"

and i would recommend to this lady that she move to iraq, since she's so happy at the job *'s has done there.

[grytpype]

12. They don't teach spelling in schools anymore, do they?

[fob]

6. I hope Sean reminded her that repukes do better when turn out is

low and with the record Democratic turnout in early voting she should make sure she tells every repuke she sees to stay home and lower the turnout!!

:evilgrin:

[susanna]

44. LOL

I'm going to borrow that one if it's alright by you. :-)

[fob]

74. Spread far and wide fellow DUer. It has the added benefit of being true.

Lower turnout helps pugs.

[smiley_glad_hands]

7. You've been turfed by Faux News. eom

[AntiCoup2K4]

8. Obviously staged.

Just like all the Freep callers to C-Span after the debates, some of these people, it was blatantly obvious they were reading a script. Ashlee Simpson put on a better performance on SNL than these brainwashed Busheep do.

[MnFats]

My thought exactly!

"oh, Boo HOO! John Kerry is my worst nightmare! Please save me my fellow Americans! Waaaaah!"

Total set-up. Total.
This kind of bullshit isn't even a big deal to these people. What the hell do they have planned in this last week?

[Quixote1818]

40. If it was staged she deserved an academy award for her performance.

[Ron Green]

79. It was most likely staged;

at the end of the call, each one of them repeated the Hannity litany, "You're a great American;" "YOU're a great American." If this was not staged, they rooted out a real loser in this wench. She was the most mawkish, sentimental, simpering simpleton I've heard in a good while.

[juliagoolia]

9. We need a GOLD STAR MOM TO CALL IN BAWLING

About the damn explosives

[fdr_hst_fan]

15. Screw that-

ol' Handjob wouldn't let her on for love nor money!

[Trajan]

10. I would recommend this women gather her family in her home ....

and duct tape the windows and doors, just as Senor Ridge declared ...

THAT will keep them safe ....

Why am I thinking of Carrie's mum ? ...

[kwolf68]

11. Hannity had this staged

If I am seriously distraught about the plight of my nation that would have me to tears, the last thing I'd think of is calling some radio hack.

Hannity staged it.

[The Wielding Truth]

49. It really seems that he plays so hard at convincing his audience that the

only savior of the world is the Republican party, that it could have been staged . It still cripples me to think that this show is accepted as legit. It is as phony and crass as any Soviet or war time propaganda and yet it is being aimed at the heart of our country.
Can't we start a campaign like the one against Sinclair to get this junk off the air or get it to present the truth in response?I have asked this so many times. What about slander laws or again the responsible use of the public airwaves?

[calmblueocean]

59. I wonder that, too.

Hannity and friends have said some vile, wretched garbage that simply isn't true. Can't someone take them to court for defamation of character, slander, etc.?

[Liberal Veteran]

13. All I can say to that is.....

"Mmm, your tears are so yummy and sweet!"

[elcondor]

54. *shiver*

That episode was on just the other night!

[MazeRat7]

16. Sounds like a head case to me - typical histrionic repug voter

[Quixote1818]

23. She sounded real to me and yes probably a head case.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

17. People like that

weren't going to vote for Kerry, REGARDLESS, so I wouldn't worry about it.

Quite a few of us refuse to live our lives in fear or be manipulated into crippling fearfulness by propaganda spewed by those desperate to hold onto power.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

21. Oh and by the way

I've sat right here at this computer desk and sobbed my eyes out over Iraqi deaths, American troop deaths, lies, lies and more lies and the inhumanity of it all.

It never occurred to me to call a radio show!

I called friends and they at least got me to calm down.

[question everything]

18. I remember visiting the Nixon library some 10 years ago

and there was some middle age lady going around sniveling, especially in that room detailing the Watergate story.

[Out the Parasites]

19. Oh good grief....

What is with these people? I've felt like crying everyday for the last almost 4 years! Did you watch the CSPAN woman nearly undecided voters focus group? I couldn't believe my eyes and ears. There was only one or two intelligent women out of 14. Some of the questions were:

If you were lost in the middle of a forest, who would you chose to lead you out to safety? Some of them actually picked *!!!! He doesn't even know where his freaking heart is located in his body. It's true!!!

Ugh. I think a lot of the woman had children, if not all of them. Another telling question was:

If your child was held hostage, who would you want in charge? Some of these idiots chose asswipe Cheney! WTF>?>> He's the last person I would chose.

I say let them cry their eyes out they're blind anyway!

[calico1]

20. There are a lot of smart, informed women

out there who do not feel safe with Bush in office. The fact that she is crying her eyes out while calling Hannity should be an indication. She watches Fox and thinks Hannity is a real journalist! There you go. These nitwits will never vote for Kerry because they are stupid and gullible and incapable of thinking for themselves. But there are plenty of intelligent, informed women who don't fall for this terror thing.

[Quixote1818]

33. I agree but the polls show Kerry is struggling with women because of this

Kerry needs to not take any chances on this.

[wildeyed]

22. The idea that motherhood makes you wimpy and stupid

is somewhat offensive. Just because I have exercised my uterus, doesn't mean my brain fell out.

I don't believe in 'security moms'. They are a rove/media myth.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

27. Hee hee.

I totally agree. Hell, I got SMARTER when I became a mom!

[Quixote1818]

38. Thats not what the polls say. Kerry is struggeling with Moms.

[wildeyed]

86. Which polls?

I have seen some saying Kerry is struggling with women, and others that say no. I have not analyzed the internals of either, so I really don't know what to think.

I have never seen this 'security mom' phenomenon discussed in an intelligent publication. So it must be some weird cable news/conservative radio show meme. In addition, the idea that women lose there capacity for intelligent thought simple because they have a baby is offensive and ridiculous.

[kwolf68]

42. I agree

MOMS don't want their kids sent to an illegal war to get killed. Moms are moms, because well....THEY GOT KIDS...Kids fight the rich mans war, its always been that way.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

65. A myth, like her?

http://www.startribune.com/static/issues_2004/foreign.html

[wildeyed]

85. Well Ivy Burkhardt was probably an idiot long before she ever had kids.

And the article sites the opinion of another well informed mother who supports Kerry. Who's the security mom?

[bunkerbuster1]

88. We shouldn't even use that demographic label to describe

these women--by doing so, we're just playing Rove's tune.

Just call them what they are--ill-informed right wing females. They'd vote for Shrubya even if he were caught barbequeing fetuses during a press conference.

[wildeyed]

89. yep.

They were idiots long before they ever had a baby.

[alcuno]

24. A year from now, people will realize that they were suffering from

Stockholm Syndrome; that they were, in fact, identifying with their captors.

[snippy]

31. Interesting idea. Stockholm Syndrome had not occurred to me, but

something of that nature would explain a lot.

[MADem]

90. In the GOP, they call it STEPFORD SYNDROME

...and a lobotomy is required before you sign your voter registration card, checked REPUBLICAN.

[greenbriar]

25. I heard this ...

she said something about worried if KErry was elected...Hannity told her YOU SHOULD worry ...

[Garbo 2004]

55. Why should she worry? Where's her faith in God? Surely God will provide.

And should Kerry win, consider it God's will. She should put herself in God's hands and all will be well. Isn't that's the way it's supposed to go?

That's what strikes me so strange, so many of these people talk about their faith but then they really seem to have so little. Bush isn't her savior or king. But this Administration and its minions apparently have done a good job of scaring many people witless. I'm surprised the Bush campaign doesn't have bumper stickers saying "Bush '04: I am the way and the light. Vote for me and you will be saved." Just a step away from Jonestown, these people are.

9-11 happened on Bush's watch. He had his chance to protect the nation and failed. In four years thanks to Bush most of the world now truly regards the USA as a rogue nation that defies international law and is armed with WMD's. This makes us feared and loathed. Not safer. This Administration scares me more than Al Qaeda or Saddam ever has.

[susanna]

72. That is so true, Garbo 2004...

"That's what strikes me so strange, so many of these people talk about their faith but then they really seem to have so little."

That's been my argument to fellow Christians since, uh, well forever. "Faith, people - LOOK IT UP."

[zbdent]

26. Here miss,

have some Kool-aide; sleep well . . .

[flpoljunkie]

28. Repeat after me, please. Bush has not made us safer. Taking the country

to an unnecessary war in Iraq while leaving the actual perpetrator of 9/11, Osama bin Laden, to run free is not the man you want to keep you safe.

He has failed to secure our borders, our nuclear plants, our chemical plants, the cargo holds of our airplanes and his war in Iraq has created more terrorists, not fewer!

Creating more terrorists and creating a failed state--Iraq--to run around in does not make us safe. Lady, get a clue!

[Arkana]

29. How utterly pathetic

Seriously, are these people trained?

[deadparrot]

30. Isn't crying for "pussy libruls?"

[snippy]

34. Probably Laura. n/t

[novadem]

35. Kinda makes you believe in...

...women's intuition. This woman obviously smells defeat.

[secular_warrior]

36. The Security Moms are a disgrace to womankind and this country.

9-11 fried many of these people's brains, it seems, for them to not even stop and ask themselves what Bush did to protect us, what he did after, and what he's doing now. If they did this, they would see that the biggest terrorist of them all is sitting in the WH.

This whole situation has really ripped the facade off of a certain segment of the female population who were masquerading as "modern independent women", but who are really just scared, irrational little girls who need their husbands and daddies. Disgrace. It's amazing how many of the gains of the civil rights movement people are simply willing to fritter away in the name of "security". To paraphrase Ben Franklin: "those who are willing to trade freedom for security deserve neither security or freedom." Pathetic cowards. :puke:

[susanna]

47. You took the words out of my mouth.

"masquerading as 'modern independent women,' but who are really just scared irrational little girls."

That describes most of the so-called "security moms" I know. My husband and I were talking about it this morning (his sis is one of 'em). I told him they'll never feel safe, I don't care who is in charge. They make it a mission in life to worry about things they cannot control. They are perfect targets for *'s fear-based propaganda.

[secular_warrior]

62. It's sad, but I know several women like this

who used to consider themselves "liberals". I guess that's the thing that really hits a nerve with me. I call them exactly what I would call a man in the same situation: cowards.

Just goes to show you, it never paid to focus so strongly on the suburban vote as Clinton and the DLC did in the 90s. The most important constituency of the Democratic Party (the party of the underdog) should never be moderate suburbanites, who are basically a swing voting bunch anyway.

[susanna]

73. I do agree with you...

and feel terrible that I have no answers to this strange phenomenon. Thankfully, I've long since understood that liberty and safety are mutually exclusive.

[Elidor]

39. We'll give the idiot something to REALLY cry about next week

Buy some extra kleenex, hun. You're going to fucking well need it.

[Quixote1818]

43. Now thats a phone call I would like to hear!

[The Backlash Cometh]

45. Security Mom? How old were her children?

If they're toddlers, she takes a backseat to those of us who have children who are fifteen and older.

[lady raven]

51. I disagree...

I think anyone with children or even planning to have them in the near future has legitimate concerns. My son is four. I'm honestly terrified about a lot of things- terrorism, the impending draft, the economy, health care, and on and on. My son is first in my mind when I make political choices, which is EXACTLY why I voted and volunteer for JOHN KERRY. I feel sorry for the moms who are buying the story that Bush can better protect our children- I don't believe it for a second.

Please don't take that to mean I'm not concerned for older teens, because I am. They will be among the FIRST affected by the potential for a draft, though I believe it IS a concern for all of us.

Rebecca

[The Backlash Cometh]

57. You don't get it.

Your "concern" for teenagaers means little to me. I couldn't care less what your feelings are in this case because any stupid decisions made because people are afraid about a potential terrorist attack will have an immediate impact on my family's well being. If something happened and my son was drafted and, heaven forbid, killed in action, people like you would be the last people I'd want to see at his funeral.

This entire mess could have been avoided if we had had an honest, intelligent man in office on 9/11. But because Republicans have lived dishonest lives and have moved this nation to the right by stoking people's fears, we are were we are today. I can't help that. But I can maybe make a difference for tomorrow.

[lady raven]

63. what?

Why the rudeness? What do you mean "people like me"? So, since I'm not the mother of a teenager, I guess I'm NOTHING. Well, honey, a lot of JK supporters are NOT moms of teenagers, but we care what happens to them just the same.

[The Backlash Cometh]

64. My apologies. When people try to minimize my son's life

into debate fodder, I tend to get testy.

[lady raven]

66. you just don't get it.

Who tried to minimize your son's life? If you want to get picky about it, YOU minimized MY son's life:

"If they're toddlers, she takes a backseat to those of us who have children who are fifteen and older."

I said we ALL have reason for concern.

And apparently you missed the part where I said I was concerned that YOUR son's life would be among the FIRST impacted.

[The Backlash Cometh]

68. I guess you lost me at "hello."

The part where you said, "I disagree." I understand now that what you meant is that you ALSO have small children and feel the same as I do. Right?

If so, many pardons.

[lady raven]

69. yes

Yes, that is what I meant. I was NOT trying to lessen your child in any way.

[The Backlash Cometh]

70. Sorry, again!

Welcome to DU!

[tsuki]

46. Shore up his tough stance?

As far as she is concerned, soccer and SUV emissions have rotted her brain.

[KharmaTrain]

48. Bunnypants Will Send Your Children To War

...before he will send his. I've used this line on several "Security Moms". Yes, worrying about A-rabs flying airplanes into their school is a fear, but so is the real danger of having their kids sent to Baghdad to protect the chimpster's war profiteering.

[K8-EEE]

50. Bush HAS The Stupid, Ignorant, Coward Votes.

Luckily I believe those people buying the fear tactics are in the minority. We don't need idiots like that. They will always believe in Jesus W. Bush, they're like fucking Moonies, they don't care that the FACT is he has made everything more dangerous.

[vetwife]

52. Staged..Showbusiness. Bring the curtain down and send the

crying woman back to the Brothel and let her lay a few more neocons until Sean can pay her to say she has morals and is a concerned Mother and really cares about security. With tons of explosives missing, I think I would rethink Monkeyboy's ability to secure anything.. other maybe a bottle of Jack Daniels.

[K8-EEE]

71. You're Probably Right!

Like I say they already have the vote of all the idiot cowards who would fall for this crap -- unbelievable!

Every mom is a "security mom..." every dad, brother, friend everybody wants security but let's get real -- Bush is the last thing in the world we need if we really want to minimize risk. They guys stark raving mad with his finger on the button for Christ's sake!

[Gothmog]

53. Only the weak minded support Bush

This lady was really weak minded and very sad.

[GRLMGC]

56. Ugh

What a simpering little coward. I find that disgusting.

[Pepperbelly]

58. Hannity-watching women are not women who would vote for Kerry or ...

who would be considered by any definition undecided.

Take this trash elsewhere, please. It is stinking up the joint.

[Roland99]

60. Those scripted callers are the funniest!!

[gauguin57]

67. Hey, lady ... I start crying every time I think about four more years

of BUSH ... and the end of civilization in a nuclear cinder. Or, failing that, the entire lower and middle classes unemployed and eating dogfood. And I'm a vegetarian.

[HuskerDem]

75. She's RIGHT.......... HE IS GOING TO LOSE.................................

It's going to be GREAT!

[LoZoccolo]

76. This was Karl Rove HIMSELF, impersonating a SECURITY MOM VOICE!

Well probably not.

Kerry is stronger on terror and national defense, as witnessed during the debates. It's not his "vulnerability" except for in the minds of the deluded. I don't know how to deal with the really freaked out security moms who can't see this. Would you have a suggestion?

[LynnTheDem]

78. And does she also cry over the deaths of our troops???

Does she cry over the families who will spend this Christmas alone because their loved ones were killed in Iraq for bush's lies?

Does she cry over the children who have lost their parent(s) because their loved ones were killed in Iraq from lack of ammo, rifles, body armor, armored humvees etc?

Does she know one single dead soldier's name? Can she name just one of the 40,000 American men, women, and TEENAGERS who are wounded or sick because of bush's bullshit INVASION?

Does she have any idea how many American men, women and TEENAGERS are DEAD because of bush's INVASION of bullshit?

Does she have any idea how many American men, women and TEENAGERS are lying in comas, suffering permanent brain and/or nerve injury, suffering loss of limbs because of bush's lies?

Does she shed one single fucking tear over THEM???

[demwing]

83. Fuck no. She cries because the truth hurts.

She cries because her crystal cage has shattered.

She cries because her world is changing.

She cries not for the children, but for her own damn self.

I hope she cries on, because selfishness deserves to die.

[NV1962]

81. I'm hearing The Prodigy

...Smack That B*tch Up!

:evilgrin:

[shivaji]

91. Latest spin from NBC says when the embedded reporters

arrived at the munitions storage site with our military,
it was empty! There is a clip of actual report by Jim
Maklizewski (SIC) saying this from 2003.

[demokatgurrl]

92. Just a good actress for Bush, is my guess. n/t
