1. Tell us more!

What did it say?

[heidiho]

Do you have caller ID

Call and report them to the police and the newspaper.

[salin]

5. or save them

transcribe them - and write a follow up LTTE including direct quotes of the responses to your first LTTE - exposing these folks to those who are on the fence always has some power.

[Killarney]

8. That's a GREAT idea!

Make it into a second LTTE to show how psycho they are.

[NewJeffCT]

2. yes, tell us what they said

Nice letter, by the way.

I like to quote Republicans on things like that - and didn't Teddy Roosevelt say something about not criticizing the president is un American?

[GreenPartyVoter]

3. Yikes! I can't believe someone would be that rude!

Call them back and tell them they are welcome to rebut your letter in their own LTTE.

[salin]

4. do tell

what could they possibly say? If you don't like America, move? Perhaps an altered outgoing phone message on the machine is in order...

"hello, we are unable to answer the phone... (or your standard outgoing message)...

and to those calling with a nasty response to my expression of my constitutional rights in my letter to the paper... just a question... why do you hate the Constitution and America?" ;-)

[Bozita]

7. Excellent OGM addition for answering machine

It'd add some spice to the freeper calls.

[Nadienne]

6. Congratulations!

Isn't it a good feeling to know you've ruffled a few feathers?

[TN al]

9. How did they get your number?

I get lots of hate e-mail to my LTTEs but a phone call is a little different. Did he leave his name and a number with which you can get back to him? Was it laced with profanity? Did he question your ability to live unassisted? Did he suggest you move to France?

[Rainbowreflect]

14. My names on the LTTE and I'm in the phone book.

Of course even if I was not in the book it probably would not be too hard to locate my #.

10. Quote you were looking for

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -Theodore Roosevelt

[Toucano]

11. Thank you! n/t

[Rainbowreflect]

12. My husband said the "man" said I must only read the local

paper and watch the local TV news if I could say such garbage.
The funny thing is I don't ever watch local news, too conservative. And I just scan the paper for local info, because the other news I have usually already read (on DU) and they are pretty conservative as well.

[Nevernose]

13. Translation:

You don't watch Faux News. Otherwise, you would undertand what was really going on.

Good letter, BTW.

[The Backlash Cometh]

15. Great letter!

I'm most impressed.

[Rainbowreflect]

16. I had a great deal of impute on my letter from DUers.
