They've descended to actually taking candy from children.

Mich. woman: Supporting Obama? No treats for you

A suburban Detroit woman has decided to scare up the vote among neighborhood children by just offering treats to John McCain supporters.

Shirley Nagel of Grosse Pointe Farms, Mich., handed out candy Friday only to those who shared her support for the Republican presidential candidate and his running mate Sarah Palin. Others were turned away empty-handed.

TV station WJBK says a sign outside Nagel's house warned: "No handouts for Obama supporters, liars, tricksters or kids of supporters."

Nagel calls Democrat Barack Obama "scary." When asked about children who were turned away empty-handed and crying, she said: "Oh well. Everybody has a choice."

Fax and phone messages left at numbers for Nagel were not returned.


What a fucking bitch! I really hope the publicity this is starting to get snowballs on her and really ruins her life. Taking out political revenge on kids out for candy? I think the local Obama supporters should have a victory party on her lawn Tuesday night.

FWIW

Our kids didn't have to sign any "Loyalty oaths" to get candy. Even most McCain supporters are not that vindictive.

BTW: [livejournal.com profile] filkertom has video, from the local Fixed Noise network no less.

And from what I've gathered, via that entry and that video... the local Faux News affiliate was quite careful about getting her name and location right....

I admit I'm torn. On the one hand, retribution and vengeance is not justice and the liberals are supposed to be the 'forgiving' type.

On the gripping hand... karmic retribution has apparently been undertaken by /b/. May her god help her.

You've never heard of how the French Revolution went? Or the Great Railway Strike of 1877? We can be stone bastards if you get our dander up.

You make a darn good point there. =) I guess I meant 'liberals in modern American politics.' The liberal democrats in particular seem to have been the whipping boys of the legislature.

But yeah. The 'leftist' French Revolution was NOT a very 'forgiving' action!

Looking back at British history, liberals in control didn't make for happy times in the colonies either.
