Cindy Sheehan's hotel room in Denver bugged?

[DixieBelle]

I think the Crawford heat fried her brain.

Gotta love the mental gymnastics Doug's Ex and proud2badumbass go through everytime a Hugo or Saint Cindy thread pops up.  First they both sign-up to the idea that some mysterious telephone repairman is planting a phone bug.  After a hundred posts back and forth that basically say that it's ridiculous that a phone tap would be planted in the manner described, they go into super-secret "we have information you don't have" mode.  Of course, they keep implying that the original article has some really subtle message that only the "pure" can decipher.  Of course they can't reveal that secret message.  Finally, after 300 posts, somebody gives them an out and asks if the phone was being bugged or was it a room bug.  Proudtobe2anidiot does cart-wheels because she has an out for her stupidity.

325. I am glad you have moved from the phone to the room
 Looks like you are starting to get it

So the big secret these two have been attempting to reveal to the unwashed masses is the subtle distinction between having the phone bugged and the room bugged.  They couldn't just come out and say it.  The lesser beings needed to obtain that knowledge on their own initiative.  The fact that the story still doesn't make any sense is lost in their little minds.  They honestly believe that reality can be twisted, stretched and molded like taffy (or Saint Cindy's neck wattle).  I don't believe it's possible to be so delusional without the benefit of serious psychotropics.

2. The story she tells of walking in on someone using a
   
screwdriver on her hotel room phone... would be appropriate for a 1960's "bugging" op, nowadays there are MUCH easier ways to plant bugs (hell, you don't even need to ever risk going in the room).

Sorry, wrong again.  Ever since the invention of the step-switch phone dialing system it has been much easier to just bug the line going to a phone rather than the phone. 

If you want to bug a hotel room, you would just plug something into an outlet that isn't exposed or even better, put the "air freshener" right out in plain sight.  These are the really simple obvious ones.

Now the story is that they were bugging the room and wanted to use the phone as the power source.

And leave a small electrical device exposed to ring voltage?  Those lines only have two wires.  The DUmmies clearly also have no knowledge of how telephones work.

Or the fact that it could have easily been just a repair man.  LOL!  Cindy's so paranoid, I'm surprised that she's not on a heavy dose of medicine.

It's so much more reliable to have a sensitive listening device exposed to relatively erratic and potentially excessive ring voltage, then, oh I don't know, batteries?  He-he.

Cindy Sheehan's hotel room in Denver bugged?

Yeah.  They crawled out of her coochie.

Oh, no, you didn't!

[jinxmchue]

They probably just figured her dinner order for room service was going to be so big they needed it recorded.

They must've heard she was on a diet again.

Most modern hotels use a PBX or key system with digital phones.  Ring voltage is a thing of the past with these types of phone systems.  The phones beep, or chirp, just like a cell phone.

That's what's so funny about the DUmmies claim that somebody was trying to place a bug in Sheehan's phone.  Anyone who can operate an alligator clip can tap a PBX.  And key systems can be easily digitally trapped.  Neither system require physical placement of any listening device.   Everything they know about surveillance they learned reading Ian Fleming novels.

Quite true.

     This is literally what DU thinks a villain looks like:




On that basis, any impression they have of espionage or surveillance is suspect. And funny.

Fixed.

LOL.  Good fix.
