From my latest post at David Horowitz’s NewsReal blog:
Rush Limbaugh coined the word “seminar callers” to describe people like this, because leftists used to train would-be talk radio callers in special seminars. These trained callers learn to begin by saying, “I listen to your show all the time, and normally I agree with you/I’m a lifelong Republican/but…” then recite memorized liberal talking points. (Here’s an IndyMedia how-to.)
The tactic is perfect for leftists because it’s parasitical — and, sadly, it’s the closest thing they’ve ever ad to liberal talk radio…
It’s just another form of astroturfing, and it stopped working years ago.
