(CBS) 
List No. 1296. G. Gordon Liddy's Tough Guy Data Base: This consists of 95% men who are current subscribers to G. Gordon Liddy's newsletter or buyers of his "Stacked and Packed" calendar." We are told that they are “virile and patriotic” and live active lives which include hunting and motorcycling.

List No. 13. African Short Wave Responders: “These are individuals in Zimbabwe, The Republic of South Africa, Nigeria, and other nations who have recently written for booklets and gospel teaching tapes from Waymarks Overseas Christian Radio – an English language Christian teaching ministry based in Florida.”

Response Unlimited has acquired some progressive lists as well, proving that making a buck though shameless exploitation is not confined to conservatives.

List No. 2547. Bleeding Hearts for America Donors: “These last 18 months these $5 plus donors have a proven history of donating to at least one cause to better the future of America. Especially since 9-11 these Americans have pulled together and continue to donate to better our Country.”

And finally, my personal favorite, List No. 141. High Dollar Rush Limbaugh UGGS Footwear Buyers: "Each of these Rush Limbaugh listeners have purchased one or more pairs of UGGS – the fantastic luxurious Australian made winter boots and sandals that Rush and his wife rave about.” They tell us that the list has phone numbers available for telemarketing and that these folks are prone to buy other luxury products.

“If you are looking for affluent conservative pro-family Republicans this list is for you. All buyers, THESE PEOPLE HAVE MONEY!”

Ugh.
