Summary: Cenk plays and breaks down a clip where a racist conservative calls in to C-SPAN to complain that there are too many black callers on the network. You can http://wbztv.com/entertainment/cspan.black.callers.2.1602059.html|read about it here>. There is also a direct link at the end to Cenk's recent in-studio debate with a conservative who says 'blacks are lazy and immoral'.

1. There have been callers spouting the same racist BS on Stephanie Miller,

on Thom Hartmann, on Bill Press and on Randi Rhodes. It's always about C-SPAN callers being mostly African American. The other talk show hosts were polite but Randi let them have it. It must be a chapter of the KKK who is making these calls.

3. The interesting thing is that he could have made pretty much the same point another way.

If he would have simply counted pro-Obama people on the Republican line for a few days he could make the accusation that Democrats are trolling the Republican line and not discredited himself.

4. "Republicans are thinking about going someplace else"

To another country, I hope.

5. God, that was the best part!

As if C-SPAN gives a shit about this guy's infotainment dollar.
Republicans are notorious for leveling absurd threats.
He may as well have said that if C-SPAN doesn't mend their wicked ways, they'll be smitten down by God's wrath.

6. Excellent point, Cenk.

The right-wingers think we worship Obama because they worshiped Bush or whomever their leadership tells them God appointed. Little do they know about all the criticism of Obama on the left. Excellent point.

7. I'm surprised the caller didn't go on to say how angry

he is that he keeps getting pegged as racist!
