Cochran press conference FOOD FIGHT!!!

Cochran campaign conference call with national media degenerates into anarchy after someone starts asking why the campaign tried to harvest black votes as blacks used to pick cotton.  Talking Points Memo published the tape of the whole call.

These people are certifiable. And to you posters who'll wade in here and screech "how do you know them are McDaniel supporters," the derp y'all spread in social media and comment sections correlates with this conference call.

cotton pickers? seriously? harvest?

McDaniel is a poster child of former Jones County defendants...

The tea party's comic appeal has ceased. I am a lifelong Republican who was sympathetic to anti-incumbency. I can tell you now that I will never vote for anyone who self proclaims to have anything to do with the Tea Party. Congratulations. I am not alone.

Sickening! Juvenile! It will backfire immediately.

What is the most humorous part of it -- is that they have no understanding how conference calls work -- that numbers can be traced, that it was recorded, etc. They just sat there and babbled until one voice cautioned the McDaniel supporters they were being recorded to get off the line. Gauche, immature, and unprofessional.

5:55 -- I believe he has a job to do for Mississippi and he is in DC working. Unlike your candidate who is licking his wounds, worried about his hair, attempting to get donations, and concerned that he's not getting enough attention.

Well -- this should do the trick!

I've decided the craziness is actually a clever ploy to get the national tea party groups back into the state to pay McDaniel to shut the hell up. He'll then use those funds to produce "Brokebackbench," a movie chronicling the lives of two irrelevant STATE senators -- McDaniel & Watson -- whose love for each other is surpassed only by each man's love of himself.

In the audio around 4:05-4:16... I want to know how in the HELL does Austing know this? "We have 1,000s of Mississippians that voted for Thad on the 24th who ALWAYS voted for Thad.......many that voted for THad just sat at home....." . How in the HELL does Cochran's office KNOW who we voted for when two names are on the ballot? This is a significant statement. They should NOT know which voter has "ALWAYS' voted for THAD? I do they know that exactly????

6:44p....y'all must have been scared as hell of Jim Hood to vomit out this "Cochran Campaign" sans cochran....l sure hope the "CochranCampaign" keeps flopping around like this...and also, IF he is in DC working, it is for his master's lobby-clients (like Mexico) and NOT Mississippi...

peace and goodwill

p.s. why is it that the "CochranCampaign" insists on relying on ad hominem arguments and will not respond o the questions but instead attack he questioner?

It was a very unprofessional call all the way around. Most conference calls are set up through another source and the listeners are muted by the conference party then... it opens for questions when the conference party request it to be done. Someone did not know HOW to handle the call, set it up, and it should have disconnected the recording when the conference caller hung up ... but it kept going and going...? Very unprofessional. Also, Austin took up the first quarter or so of the call stating what we have already read - we already know numbers - that's already been stated, we wanted to hear something NEW. And...how do we know he was not going to talk the call out and leave little room for questions like Greg Harper does on his townhall calls.

Anonymous said...

After I thought about how this call... this was just too strange. Surely, folks know how to initiate a conference call (technical perspective). He kept asking people to mute, etc. just does not look good for Cochran Campaign. If they are going to have someone in charge of their campaign, then he needs to know how to handle the media and a conference call. This is embarrassing.

No one knows who the call came from so don't speculate "yet". Let's wait and see. Cock folks speculate quite often. Wonder why?

This call sounded so crazy.. .this just can't be real. Surely Mississippi folks can't be this stupid... I mean, please, leaving the recording on? Is this his first conference call? And...Mississippi idiots will hit the news again - both sides of this call made an idiot out of themselves. He handled it very well... just hung up "NOT". You have to be trained on how to handle such as well as knowing what the hell you are doing when you arrange a telecom.

I have said before that it will hurt the republican party in the short term but long term it will be good because the tea party will destroy itself in Mississippi. Democrats win either way in the General.

A day that made both Cochran and McDaniel look bad once again

Anonymous said...

7:05 -- Simple -- in the last general election Cochran ran in 2008, 766,111 people voted for him. Only 300,000 give or take showed up in the primary on 3 June. The Cochran camp felt there were 400,000+ people that they needed to bring out to vote on June 24th, for him.

One other little item to note -- that was the year Barack Obama was running for the first time, so it appears that there was cross over voting in the black community that year also -- hmmmmmmm -- guess it's not anything new and many in the black community have previously supported Senator Cochran.

Simple, simple -- people were sitting at home, who had been supporters in the past, they just needed to get them to the polls on June 24th. The Cochran camp recognized that fact on June 4th, and instead of doing a victory lap at Jones County Community College the Cochran campaign, rolled up their sleeves and went to work.

No great conspiracy theory here --- sorry!

We have a winner, I spit my cocktail through my nose. I think you need to make sure it is in production in time to qualify for the next Oscar hand out. I insist you include me on the casting call.

7:32 -- Easy to check -- all they have to do, is look at the numbers calling into the conference and check against, who they sent the conference call information out to originally. That's why you have specified numbers, pins, etc. You KNOW who has an invitation, and they are normally recorded via their phone number.

If I were the McDaniel people who called in, I"d be quite worried now since the press will go after this with a vengeance. It's just too juicy, and that's what is so sad -- these people had no clue how conference calling works, just called in per Chuck Johnson's direction, proudly pounded each other on the back when they felt they'd scored points or won. Not until someone told "All McDaniel people to hang up the call was being recorded" did we start to see the backtracking and exiting from the line.

Sophistication is not their strength.

Mississippi Democrats and Republicans who are made up of historically you're typical political stereotypes...... but that actually have Black votes included for Republicans voted Thad in. Because Chris McDaniel scared the be-Jesus out of people with his weird vocal tone that sounds like a bad Baptist Evangelist meets Jimmy Swaggert. He scared black folks and they supported Thad. This is no surprise. Chris was Scary and he didn't get the votes. Get some better photos next time that don't show you snarling like Eddie Munster at the crowd quoting fire and brimstone.

Way to go. Way to show the rest of the country of how you are supposed to act. Adults acting like children. You really believe what you did today helped whatever cause you have/had. If anything you made it worse. McDaniel needs to come out and make a statement against these loons because all it's going do is lead to more defectors. There are plenty of smart reputable people who voted for McDaniel and from the reaction that's on display will most likely distance themselves from these acts of buffoonery. It's time for both to shut the hell up and move on. I along with about 90% of the state am sick of it. The Dems.......Loving it, and all those who will vote with them out of spite and bitterness will show how truly ignorant they really are.

11:10 These folks aren't showing the nation anything. They just reaffirmed stereotypes today. That conference call was some next-level derp. Jeebus, these folks need to crawl out from under that bridge and into a library--or a kindergarten class if a school would allow it.

It's fascinating to see a bunch of ignorant hicks (I'm calling them that because that's how they're acting) hanging on to every word of some creepo blogger whose got very little credibility at best. On the plus side, the past month has been a great way to weed out the idiots from my Facebook feed.

This morning (Thursday) on MSNBC's Way to Early, the show played the recording and then reported that the McDaniel campaign is laiming the caller was a Cochran plant trying to discredit McDaniel.

Someone please tell me what McDaniel's end game is. Surely he must know he will never be the next U.S. Senator from Mississippi, not now or ever. He is tearing down the tremendous strides the state republican party has made over the last two decades.

I hope our lieutenant governor strips this clown of every senate chairmanship he holds. The irony in all of this is that McDaniel is the chair of the state senate's election committee. Apparently, he was fine with open primaries until he was out maneuvered by the Cochran campaign, or he would have sponsored legislation in the past to change the party primary system.

The Law Is Clear said...

5:47 your concluding statement is boring, old, tired, ineffective and way off base. McDaniel nor anyone else has filed a challenge of 'open primaries'.

if you bothered to understand the argument juxtaposed against current law, you'd know what this is about. What you Gallo-ninnies cannot understand is there is still a law that must be followed under the open primary system.

Please turn your cap around and quit listening to that babbling Supertalk clown.

After reading the posts and immediate reports stating this was Mcdaniel or his staff, along with this call just being plain crazzyyyy and unbelievable..makes me believe this whole call was intentionally setup....just my opinion. the media was too fast responding along with these bloggers with a lot of the comments probably originating from the same person to place blame on McDaniel. Too many wild things have happened too fast with the responses blamed immediately on McDaniel. It's called reverse marketing. But just my opinion as an observer. (Republicans just ain't what they used to be --what they they depict has changed--oh the good ole' Reagan years they don't make 'em like him no more)

Anonymous said...

was it even really the media on the call or a buncha' hired actors? Austin sounded like he was playing his own part? this whole thing could not be real! just cannot be real! and so dramatic when Austin hangs up and they leave us with the climax about the McDaniel callers to hang up. With that many people on the call and hopefully being told they were recorded at the beginning ......most experienced know you do not continue speaking even if a third party drops from a three-way call and especially if it is a recorded conference call. This is what makes me think this is not genuine as too many people participated in ignorance.

As a gesture of good faith and to show that there is no animosity toward the McDaniel campaign who has made it publicly known that they are in need of money to help fund their legal battles, let's all come up with ideas for fundraisers.

As the McDaniel campaign harped on conservative principles, I will start out with some suggestions. Old fashioned bake sale, car wash, dunking booth, kissing booth are some that have worked in the past. One has to wonder if Palin, Santorum or Woolery have sent in their $50. If they have not, maybe Woolery can come back to host some bingo games, or Palin can return for a kissing booth and Santorum for the dunking booth.

Let's all be good neighbors here and help our misguided with some more novel fundraising ideas.

You're argument might hold water if Chuck Johnson hadn't tweeted out the conference call number 15 minutes before telling his followers to "crash the call." Regardless of who it was, that call to action (along with everything else that Chuck Johnson has done over the past week) makes it easy to point the finger at the McDaniel camp.

At first I wondered if Chuck Johnson was sincerely trying to help McDaniel and just doing a terrible job, but the more he tweets, the more I realize that he is simply trolling for notoriety and cash. He found a group of crazies that are willing to listen to him, and he's using it for all of the publicity he can get. He doesn't give a flip about Mississippi or the election, he's just trying to promote himself.

Easy solution. Legislature kicks out Jones County. They become the "Free State" again. McDaniel declares himself Grand Poobah for life. Everyone is happy.

747 No, Reagan as in his Demeanor with a capital D. . These young frat boys just ain't got it. When Reagan walked into the room, there was a respectful "presence". These green eared cocky kids exude none these days. He needs some help in that department. Even when he speaks, he comes across as a smarty pants spoiled rich kid and not polished. They do have personal services to help with this and he should not have any problem hiring a good one at least for Thad's sake. ....... Now that's what I meant when I said they don't make them like Reagan anymore. Thanks for letting me explain it further. ......It was just embarrassing the way he acted and then hung up like a child.

it just doesn't make sense! if I was running for office I would not send a staffer to a nursing home and I would not send a staffer to crash a call and I would not have a staffer say something about harvesting people.......you don't hurt yourself when you are running for election. you are more careful since you have more eyes on you. so just because someone supports McDaniel this means that McDaniel is responsible? that is ridiculous! does this mean if a cochran voter committed a terrible crime that Cochran is responsible? that is ridiculous too! why not just run background reports on every voter (white collar crime versus blue collar crime) you cannot blame these things on the candidate if he did not set it up. ........ by the way, background check--- last time I checked Mississippi was the most corrupted in white collar crime- hhhmmmmm

Jones County kicked out? Who is going to get more Federal highway funds to build and repair the roads around McDenial's alma mater? (Oppo researchers miss that stuff) The funds that helped pay his Dad as an educator? Who will pay their Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid, SNAP, veteran's pensions, Federal pensions, and keep the schools afloat? I know, they did it ALL on their own with no help from other states, other taxpayers, or most of all the Big Bad GubMint. I reckon it's a time to secede, they are saying. Again. Except they couldn't even get along with that! Funny how paranoid schiz with a persecution complex turns into a campaign and Twitter career.

8:44 -- Climate of command. Old military term which translates to the troops follow the lead of the leader. If McDaniel had set a tone that these things were UNACCEPTABLE, then no one would be doing them. I think he benignly winks, nods, and says "I don't want to know" as he walks out of the room, leaving the "troops" to wreck havoc.

Blame him -- yes. These are his supporters and he has made NO active move to reign them in as of today.

Cochran understands that the primary campaign is over and he won it. There is no reason for him to be campaigning now or to be personally responding to every stupid thing that the McDaniel people do and say.

Anonymous said...

One thing Chuckie sneaked by everyone is that the media keeps referring to Stevie Fielder as a pastor even though the deacon of the church says he is not an associate pastor and the church leaders all know better than to do any business with him. This episode shows that Republicans really do not know how to do GOTV in the black community because they believe all the stereotypes and think they have to enlist hustlers. Meridian has two black city council members who are educated professionals. A Democratic campaign would have the good sense to go to them and ask them to recommend a few reliable campaign workers that they trust and then hire those people and let them hire the drivers and door knockers and sign wavers that they know will do the job and not just take the money and do nothing and then ask for more.

Anonymous said...

So, as 11:44 explains, Cackrun understands he won the primary and, therefore, has no reason to appear or speak publicly. That may be true; however, how do you explain him taking the same position prior to the runoff? Or was he still working on Katrina?

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
