How to Spot a “Seminar Caller”
Hugh Hewitt calls Democrat trolls to his talk show "Seminar Callers/" They call in claiming to be conservative or Republican, but talk almost exclusively from Dem. talking points. Flopping Aces has a post up of a call to Dennis Prager’s show that gets disected very well by Dennis.
The style of the caller got me to thinking. I’ve blogged about the different motivational underpinning of liberals’ arguments. They are focused on emotions, not on philosophy, faith, or facts. It struck me that when a caller starts by saying, "I’m so mad, I’m going to do something contrary to my basic philosophical or faithful underpinnings…" my radar goes off. I’ll bet that that person isn’t truly a conservative. They’re masquerading as one and attempting to get others to stop thinking and start reacting - using emotions to guide decisions, not thought or belief.
