    I just switched on the TV and randomly scanning channels when I bumped into CSpan live. The presenter looked nervous.

    As I'm watching the caller is going into the history of Palestine and Americas involvement and wanted to know if the US believed in the seperation of Church and State why did they help carve up that region. Went into some serious details.

    The face on the presenter! :D The blood was draining from his face and he kept looking to his side.

    Eventually the caller stops talking, the presenter asks him a totally different question instead of answering AND THEN CUTS HIM OFF! :D

    Haven't seen anything on any news channel yet about Americans loosing their civil liberties. Seems to be very low key.

    ... LOL.. the poor guy is getting another call he wants cut off.

    They just had some Canadian on now who asked him about the first caller and he just ignored him and cut him off too! :)

    I'm surprised that the stations screening process allowed for such an awkward question to be asked, but that's Americans for you :)

    Is CSpan like CNN or CBS or something ?

    its was my understanding that it was standard Pro-Rightie anti-civil liberty practice to include a 10sec delay on the screening of the show .... so it isn't really live just live 10 secs ago... so if they get an undesirable caller they can cut him off with out the general public knowing....


    Stupid Skynewsers and Americans

    No its like court TV except it covers the houses of congress live and continously- Then @ night there is political discussion etc. and sometimes replays of certain congressional highlights on any given day:)

    That's what I was thinking too, but I guess they couldn't cut him off in mid sentance.

    Man this station is classic and scaring the hell out of me.

    He had a woman on claiming that National ID cards are the mark of Satan. :)

    Another guy saying they don't need ID cards, instead all foriegners should wear bracelets which show all thier details.. I was contemplating ringing up and suggesting that they should all wear armbands instead. :)
