Wait... Not watching right now. What does everyone mean by callers?

It can't be what I think it means.

C-SPAN allows people to call in and offer their opinions (or in this case, verbal diarrhea passing as opinion), and they have separate call-in numbers for people who are affiliated with each political party (and a third line for 'other'). What happens in practice is that hardcore Tea Party-style Republicans call in on all the lines and spew their vitriol and conspiracy theories all over the airwaves. Very few of the callers have anything more interesting to say than 'Obama sucks' or 'Hillary sucks and lies' or 'I want my country back!'
 
Oh my god! "Why don't we have a white caucus in congress??"

How does CSPAN deal with this shit? Why is this the only nonsense that makes its way to CSPAN? You would think people that spend all day absorbed in politics would be a bit smarter then the idiocy that constantly cals in.
 
"You can see that she's lying."

The whole thing screams conspiracy theory from all sides. Lack of evidence is actually the best evidence of wrongdoing, no matter what she says she's lying because she's a liar because they just know it. Fuck all these fucks.

EDIT: this caller is second to point out the sweat, lol

Dude it's the same mindset as the stupid birthers. You won't convince them no matter what - I'm surprised there has not been a birth certificate committee.
 
Some thoughts:
- While MSNBC covers this non-stop, Fox News has moved on to Trump and Carson. Pretty damn telling.

- I also listened-in on C-SPAN. That twinge you're hearing in a lot of calls on the GOP line? Fear. They know: she wins, and the country's political center shifts left. They likely lose the Supreme Court. Donors begin to force a change in GOP politics at that point.

- Meanwhile.. after watching >80% of the testimony, knowing that the GOP members on this panel are supposedly hand-picked all-stars? I pity whomever she has to debate next October.
 
There are times I feel like I'm listening to Grand Theft Auto political radio.

TBH Normal people dont call these phone lines so there's already a huge filter leaving only crazies to call about how bush knew 9/11 was coming and why dont we focus on bill clinton working with a known child prostitute ringleader
