I wrote a diary earlier today asking for suggestions about what to ask the GOPropagandist from The Path to 9/11 on the Michael Medved show. I just deleted it to write this which I will also delete if people think that I am breaking the rules. But what happened right before I got on was just plain stupid and so counter-productive that I had to comment.
Some guy from Pheonix, IIRC, got on and asked for a lot of time. That was his first mistake. A rookie one but a mistake none the less. Then he started asking beligerant questions in a rapid fire manner. You come off as a little nutty when you do that and people stop taking you seriously. But then he did something so stupid that I almost puked.
He said to the guest "I hope you die."
Christ on a bisquitt, how fucking lame can you get.
There is no better way to get dismissed outright by everyone listening then to make a boneheaded and vile comment like that. Unless you are Ann Coulter or Michael Savage you will never get away with that. Nor should you.
I have made hundreds of calls to talk radio. If you want the listeners to take you seriously you must be respectfull, clear headed and not a fucking asshole. Being an asshole like this guy only pushes the listeners farther away from your point.
And it gives the host the opportunity to tie in the next lefty caller as well as the entire left into the complete assholishness that you have used.
