Here is the site for the Obama minions who don't have a thought of their own so they can call into conservative talk shows. Brought to you by Organizing for America a project of the DNC. And that would be aluminum foil hats not tin.

http://radio.barackobama.com/[/quote]I thought you were referring to liberal hecklers that call Limbaugh and others. I don't see what the big deal is here. The approach you pointing to is very common-- the GOP <a href="http://www.southdakotagop.com/GetActive/CallTalkRadio.aspx" target="_new">engages in this sort of thing</a> too, <a href="http://www.lp.org/call-talk-radio" target="_nx">as does the Libertarian party</a>.

Frankly I don't have a problem with political outreach, as long as people are promoting legitimate/accurate information. For many years Talk Radio is a hotbed of disinformation and race-baiting, the point of which is to channel support toward the GOP. At some point, the DNC has to take the battle to them, instead of being in continual reactive mode.

Also: See <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tin_foil_hat" target="_enz">Tin foil hat</a>, and if you want argumentum ad nauseam, consider <a href="http://www.worldwidewords.org/articles/aluminium.htm" target="_enz2">aluminium versus aluminum</a>.
