VIDEO PROOF– C-SPAN Caller Who Pranked Sen. Barrasso Was Phony Republican
Posted by Jim Hoft on Friday, December 25, 2009, 11:35 PM
Here’s video proof that the crank caller to C-SPAN who said he was a “teabag protester” and a “Republican” was just a fake liberal troll trying to make Republicans look bad.
The Soros-linked Think Progress was all over this story during the voting by democrats to nationalize the nation’s health care this week.
The fake Republican has called into C-SPAN several times to toy with Republicans… He even called in as a Democrat just to harass Bill Kristol on the Iraq War.
But, most of the time he just plays a fake rich racist white Republican:
HotAirPundit posted the clips– I consolidated into one video here:
Disgusting.
There really is no depth too low for the liberals to slander Republicans and push their leftist agenda.
For the record… It was pretty sad that Obama-supporting quasi-Republican David Brooks appeared to agree with the caller on his southern racist comments.

It’s the pervasive lying that’s repelling. If all these “progressive” Progressive ideas were so superior, why the lie after lie after lie after lie?
pjean commented:
Pretty bad when one must portray themselves as someone else, just to get attention. If these liberals are so intellectual, so superior in their understanding, why can’t they just stand on their own beliefs? Could it be that they know their beliefs are NOT mainstream and this is their weak attempt to influence the minds of others?

You can’t believe anything that is said anywhere. The libs will stoop to any level to advance their cause. Its time for America to wake up and realize what is propaganda. The myth of the right wing extremist is just that, a myth. But if the left says it loud enough and long enough most of the half wits in this country will believe it. Remember the old adage, “Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see.”
Reaganite Republican commented:
Jim, this is the same as the supposed “hate speech” reported in the Vancouver Daily Sun as targeted upon Obama’s family in the Free Republic blog’s comments section in early July… where it turned-out it was a liberal journalist who posted them.
“They make me sick …. The whole family… mammy, pappy, the free loadin’ mammy-in-law, the misguided chillin’, and especially ‘lil cuz… This is not the America I want representin’ my peeps,”-he then piled it on with “ghetto trash” and “I wonder when she’ll get her first abortion”.
Free Republic claims to be a site that “does not advocate or condone racism, violence, rebellion, secession, or an overthrow of the government.” Yet somehow, the thread went down, and back up with the original comments intact, and then some… noted the Sun’s reporter Chris Parry, who supposedly “uncovered” the story…
But this was the same Chris Parry that advocated on his Daily Kos blog any number of egregious offenses, among them: posting hate speech on sites like Free Republic and blaming it on conservatives!
Sadly, similar efforts from the Democrats have been with us for some time, and in various forms. During the Clinton impeachment scandal, a then-new leftist group out of California called MoveOn.org employed a plan to get its members to dial into right-leaning talk radio shows such as Rush Limbaugh with scripted talking points falsely claiming that they were Republicans.
They then feigned revulsion and said they “would never vote for the GOP again if the case against Bill Clinton was pursued.” The same MoveOn.org is, of course, today in the vanguard of the web’s leftist-activists.
Lucky for us, a lot of these leftist charlatans don’t seem smart enough to realize how easy it is to follow their tracks in the internet era…
lyle commented:
We see this kind of behavior all over the internet, including here on Gateway. When Trolls pretend to be conservatives they are so cartoonish they are readily identifiable, but courtesy dictates that commenters’ self-identification should be taken at face value.
It’s a sign of emotional and psychological retardation, though I have to admit that all liberals sound like poorly educated adolescents to me.
Has anyone heard of a conservative doing anything comparable?
Agent99 commented:
Be assured that ”fake Republican” did not discuss anything at the Jekyll Island CLUB in Georgia. There is a Hotel there of that name but the “”CLUB”" was very, very exclusive. Vanderbilts, J.P Morgan, Rockerfeller,Pulitzer. Kellog Family members. Woodrow Wilson and others. The CLUB is ”defunct” on paper. This is where the TREASURY was supposedly created. There is a Hotel but no Official Club. The caller sounds uneducated and gross. Surely, if the CLUB remained secretely….it would not accept him as a ‘secret’ member. If so ((doubtful to the extreme)) He would be a ”traitor” with INSIDE knowledge and would be black-balled if not worse. It would be something a Club Member would never ”’anounce” publicly. Suposedly…THE CLUB does not exist at all today. ((Live in SC and have been to Jekkyl)) Be assured that this caller is ”stupid”…..just a stupid Lobotomuzed Lib from Hades. BTW if you choose…..click the link to the “Think Progress” embedded link. Shows, from their comments, how truly sick the Libs are.
Arch commented:
This guy is obviously a product of government education, because he doesn’t know his history. The Jekyll Island Club shut down in 1942 and is now a hotel. Most of the members were yankees, not toothless, inarticulate rednecks.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jekyll_Island_Club
“The Club” is in on Red Mountain overlooking the City of Birmingham. It’s claim to fame was that the main ballroom with its rotating mirror globe was the inspiration for the disco in Saturday Night Fever.
The caller would not be offered membership there either.
john commented:
If you’re looking for an entertaining C-Span clip you should look up the one with Andrew Breitbart from earlier this fall.
They took 3 calls and of the 3 calls:
-1 guy accused all Republicans of being evil
-1 guy pretended to run an adult movie shop and claimed Justice Thomas was a regular
-1 guy claimed he was a life long Republican (which in and of itself was a dead give away he wasn’t) who had seen the light and that Republicans were too conservative.
Breitbart naturally called them all out and didn’t deign to get in fights with them; he simply pointed out their idiocy.

On Christmas Eve, the Obama administration announced that it would amend the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreements “to allow the cap on Treasury’s funding commitment under these agreements to increase as necessary to accommodate any cumulative reduction in net worth over the next three years”.

When I used to watch C-span call in program, during the later part of Pres. Bush’s term, there were frequent callers who claimed to be staunch republicans and then went on to natter pure left-wing garbage. It wasn’t that they just opposed Pres. Bush on the war, it was pure liberal tripe.
Then this past election, I heard self-proclaimed conservatives raving about the wonder of Obama and could not get my head around that. Define your terms, then let’s talk.
chuck in st paul commented:
I bet this guy is the same one that used to call into The Kimmer Show on WGST Atlanta. He sounds alot like him. He was a very nasty idiot. The Kimmer called him out several times. Finally Kimmer let him have a full minute to rant without interruption each time he called. That was actually better, as it allowed this asshat to truly beclown himself.
Does anyone remember the butt biscuit I’m referring to? He would make the most outrageous accusations not supported by any actual facts. The fact this ‘new’ guy is from Georgia makes me think it’s the same guy.
Tammy commented:
And the CSPAN screeners are so clueless that they can’t recognize THAT guy’s voice? And what tea party protester would recognize himself as a “tea bagger”\?
Come on, CSPAN: Pick up your game!
You look like idiots by allowing a moron like that guy on the air over and over again. The man sounds like he’s hammered. Not surprised. Liberals are drunk most of the time.
chuck in st paul commented:
I think the clown that called into the Kimmer Show was nicknamed Commie Dave.
Anyone remember?
Nana commented:
Tea Partiers never call themselves “tea-baggers.” I knew that was fake immediately. Nice try pathetic regressives…

Phony Republicans have run Detroit, Chicago, NY, CA, etc. for 60 years.
Now, the geniuses want to do to the rest of us that which they did to Detroit.
While the economy and 18% of the people are out of work these morons are feverishly working to ruin the other 82% 0f us.

ARCH…..Good catch on THE CLUB ((of Jekyyl Island)) And to Chuck ….yes I remember “Commie Dave” does sound like him… Once again …look up The Jekyyl Island Club…

aprilnovember811 commented:
I really think the term “liberal,” has to stop being used. When someone says liberal, it just doesn’t describe these people for what they really are, “leftists, or communists.” I’ve never seen in my life this level of criminal behavior in the US Government in my life. It’s something I envision coming out of Putin or some sleazy third world dictator. I think in order to make people realize what these people truly are, the real terms have to start being used.
The Mafia at least is patriotic and loves its country. This group actually hates America and everything it stands for. They seem to spend every day holding her hostage, and wondering what new ways they can rape her, pillage her, and steal every ounce of dignity from her. They’re mentally unstable people. That includes people like Evan Bayh, who present this squeaky clean image, but when you vote for something like this health care seizure, that by the way you haven’t read, you can only be one thing, and that’s something that slithered out of a sewer somewhere.
franco commented:
Great job doing this! It is important to document these things.
As soon as C-Span started segregating calls I stopped watching the call-in shows. The left depend on propaganda since that is the only way they can gain power and influence. This guy isn’t alone in misrepresenting himself. Many of them do it badly, like this guy, and it speaks volumes that C-span can’t catch these obvious poseurs.
David Brooks is utterly clueless here (and elsewhere) as to what he’s up against. What a dupe. What an idiot.
Peter commented:
David Brooks and C-SPAN can’t be much brighter than this moron caller for allowing him to get away with the Jekyll Island references and not calling him out on it.
This guy would have never made it past the screener on any credible talk radio station.
Jamest155 commented:
Everytime I recall that I was once a democrat, I have to take a shower and keep scrubbing. Sometimes there doesn’t seem like there’s enough soap and water in the world.
burt commented:
Senator Bayh, father and son have played the “good old boy” game for decades. Home in Indiana they are “good old boys” in D.C. there somewhat left of Paul Pot.
DANEgerus commented:
‘I was a Republican But-theads’ are common on talk radio call in shows. But to echo Treacher… if Healthcare is so good why are so many states (D)emocrat Congressmen negotiating to get exclusions?

Not any longer, partner! Whenever I get some “concern troll” whoclaims to be “a lifelong Republican who *had* to vote for obama for the good of the country”, and then starts telling us how the Republicans have to act and what they need to do “to win an election ever again” — I drop on them with both feet, guns drawn. They do not deserve common courtesy, nor their “ideas” any consideration. I treat them as what they are: lying, degenerates at best, and agentes provacateur at worst.
They do not deserve my courtesy nor my good will in reading their tripe.
Ask any of the regulars who have been here a while. I am as nice as anyone else on this board when conversing with reasonable people who present themselves honestly. I can even be nice to leftists who aren’t foul and belligerant.
BUT – I am merciless when dealing with phonies, “concern trolls, pedophiles and agentes provacateur. NO MERCY!! EVER!!
lyle commented:
Solaratov,
I suppose you’re right, but it’s irritating to be forced to do it. What the hell is wrong with these immature hyper-emotional narcissistic lefties? Aren’t any of them grownups?
Militant Conservative commented:
Solaratov and Lyle, I have gotten to the Militant Conservative due to the “let’s get along” attitude.
B.S. crush the enemy as they HATE American and her ways. I will no longer tolerate this behavior no those who expouse it. They try to get in my face and that is where it ends quickly. Many have tried to denegrate the soldier @ a hotels in my presence. I told them they may have a 1st amendment right but, not in my presence while I am exercising my 2nd. End of debate.
Sickofobama commented:
Sounds like an old hippie freak and if C-Span had any integrity they would know this sicko calls repeatedly under different disguises.
I hope the old guy ODs on acid.

This was obviously COMPLETELY different than the two conservatives who taped ACORN while pretending to be liberal pimps and prostitutes.

I don’t believe that they discussed politics during the undercover filming “sessions”.
Are you implying that pimps and whores MUST be liberals? That any pimp or whore would never be considered to be a Republican or a Conservative?
Or that liberals are pimps and whores?
AtlasMugged commented:
Solartov, you need to lighten up, Francis. David Vitter (R- Family Values) would probably be a better source about the political views of prostitutes. I think the world’s oldest profession tends to be pretty equal opportunity.
I’ll take you at your word that you’re all about honesty, and assume that you’re going to condemn the two conservative activists who posted completely edited films from the ACORN offices.
Matthew commented:
If you go over to Free Republic, or any right-wing site, EVERYBODY is a liberal plant. RNC racists, liberal plants. Backwards B, liberal plant.
It’s hilarious and hypocritical when Republicans cry about slander when anything a conservative does wrong is knee-jerk blamed on liberals, but when a liberal prank caller (who is labeled a troll by EVERYBODY, including liberals) does something hilarious, it’s slander against republicans.
Just more spin from the conservative spin machine.
Matthew commented:
And, for the record, liberals definitely DID identify this as a troll. While it’s not beyond reason that conservative Christians pray for their enemies to die, and they definitely do, it’s beyond reason that one would be so stupid as to believe a prayer could “miss” a target.
That is the troll; not the fact that this person prayed for their enemies to die. Any number of conservative websites (the aforementioned Free Republic, for example) contains examples of people praying for their enemies to die, if not outright celebrations of death (Ted Kennedy).
Whine more, party of butthurt.

++++++++++++++++
Whether or not they discussed politics is irrelevant. They did it for politically motivated reasons.
ACORN, despite being supported by John McCain, is a boogeyman/strawman constructed by conservatives to justify losing the election. As such, any attack on ACORN is an attack on President Obama, and a “victory”, pathetic, Quixotic, and Pyrrhic that it is.
(It goes without saying that, of course, the ACORN “sting team” lied, and that the videos are edited, the transcripts do not match the audio, which was found to be overdubbed, and of course the laughable “murder” claim that was shown false when they were reverse-trolled).
Ah, the conservative mantra: It’s ok when WE do it! It’s ok when WE play pretend to political ends! Liberals are despicable when they do it, but when we do it it’s fine! Good catch, AtlasMugged. More hypocrisy (an anti-Biblical concept, no less) for me to index and use against conservatives.

Offer some proof that the tapes were edited “creatively”.
The tapes showed what they showed; and leftists have got their panties in a wad trying to defend acorn – because as the other troll says “an attack on acorn is an attack on “president” obama.’ (Come to think of it – that is sort of an admission that obama is joined at the groin with acorn – despite his own protestations to the contrary. Somebody’s lying.)

Oh, NOW I get it. All the whack-a-doodle gun-toting sam-adams-dressing nutjobs spouting their communism fears are really all liberal democrats… boy the depths those liberals will go to to make us patriots look bad.

Report concluding that substitute voice-overs were used.
Breitbart hussled the actual transcripts away after they proved to be embarrassingly different from the overdubbed audio, but the internet does not forget, so here’s a screenshot from Breitbart’s own big government, of the “pimp” introducing himself not as a pimp, but as a law student, and his “prostitute” as his “girl”.

Now promptly reject this for liberal bias (after all, it’s Media Matters reposting a story from Greta, and a screenshot of Breitbart’s own page, clearly a liberal plant) and go on and tell us again how ACORN is the Devil.

Oh yeah. This is the obots Mode of Operation since the beginning of the 2008 primaries.
1. Pretend you are a Republican and spout off phoney beliefs in orer to make Republicans look bad.
2. Go to blog sites and ask what people think about (whatever) acting like they care but only trying to get you trapped into a corner of your beliefs and into an argument.
3. Go to blogs and wreck the thread by getting the bloggers arguing and then leave them all upset.
The list is endless but it is the protocol of PAID obots. This is the format they are instructed to follow.
It’s designed to get people’s sympathy for the pathetic bone heads in the whitehouse.
Ya know who I mean. Every single one of them in crudO’s admin and cesspool congress.
They are so despicable I will now refer them them as the grinches that stole Christmas 2009. All we get is a lump of coal and a health care tax bill but no health care until 2015.
