Art: "West of the Rockies, You're on the air. Hi!"
Caller: "Yes. Hello, is this Mr. Art Bell?"
Art: "Yes it is!"
Caller: "I was wantin' to make some comments about the fact that your guest was usin' the tragedy of the TWA
bombing.."
Art: Turn- Turn your radio off."
Caller: "Yeah, I just did. Mr. Hoagland was using the bombing as another platform to say that we shouldn't
trust the government! Exploiting this tragedy! Just usin' those victims as another further-point to bring
down our government! It's people like HIM that are responsible for the terror attacks that we have
goin' on! Because they HATE our government!"
Art: "I don't believe he said it was our government."
Caller: "Well he was spreading distrust of our government! And we should not be distrusting our
government!"
Art: "I really don't think he said that. He said he had information.."
Caller: "Well he meant it! I could hear it in his voice!"
Art: "Oh, now- now- now you don't need the words, you just need an intonation.
Is that correct?"
Caller: "Well, you could hear it in his voice! And to say that there are Martians on the
Jupiter moon; little creatures crawlin' up outta there! It's against everything in the Bible!"
Art: "He didn't say that. He said there are Martians living under the surface of Mars."
Caller: "Well that too! There is no- There are no life on Mars!.They sent the probes and
they have not found a thing! The fact that you're letting this go on is blasphemy! There's
nothin' in the Bible about people on Mars! For us, God created Earth!"
Art: ('demonic') "I am compelled to do it! I am compelled to do it! I must do it!"
Caller: "I'm tryin' to have a serious conversation with you! Well I hope you know I'll be protesting your program!
I have a citizens' group called C.L.A.M.P.! The Christian Legion Against Media Pornography! And I consider
you a pornographer!"
Art: ('demonic') "..Because you love me! You love me!"
Caller: "You think that's funny that all your listeners; I tell ya, all your listeners are goin' to Hell! You're all a
buncha- You're duffin' 'em! You're all with the Devil worship; Pagan! Devil worshipper! And we're gonna
clamp down on you! I'll get you kicked off the air! And you won't be able to DO this to America anymore!"
Art: ('demonic') "Goodbye!" - "I love that guy! I love that guy, and he loves me. You know? When you really hate
somebody? Have you noticed? Even though he gets it wrong, he never misses a minute? Now, is this man
trying to inflict intentional pain for himself by listening? Am I a substitute, sir, for your getting out the 'ol leather
whip, and whoopin' up on yourself? Its hard, right? Gotta reach back and whoop yourself? So instead you turn
on the radio and you listen to me. You are compelled to listen. Every minute. Even though your poor,
pathetically twisted ears don't hear it correctly, you are compelled to listen. I really love that guy, and I can tell
he loves me too."
