We’ve got our fair share of assholes in Michigan, some might argue I’m one of them, but at least I’m not guilty of spoiling Halloween for kids to promote my choice of political candidate:
A Grosse Pointe Farms woman has doled out political tricks by refusing Halloween treats to children whose parents support Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.
Shirley Nagel passed out candy Friday — but only to those who shared her support for Republican presidential candidate John McCain and running mate Sarah Palin.
Fox 2 News says a sign posted outside Nagel’s house, about 12 miles west of Detroit, served notice to all trick-or-treaters. It read: “No handouts for Obama supporters, liars, tricksters or kids of supporters.”
Nagel tells WJBK-TV that “Obama’s scary.” When asked about children who’d been turned away empty-handed and crying, she said: “Oh well. Everybody has a choice.”
And here’s the spot from FOX 2 News:
To put it bluntly, Shirley Nagel is a douche bag. To even think of asking kids what political stance their parents have before handing out candy is raising the art of douche baggery to new and unprecedented heights. What the fuck is wrong with her? Does she seriously think that by making their kids cry that suddenly Obama supporters will see the light and switch their votes to McCain? Someone get that woman a copy of How to Win Friends and Influence People stat!
Vote McCain or your kids will NEVER GET ANY HALLOWEEN CANDY AGAIN!
Yea. She has a right to her opinion and vote…but first off the United States of America has a secret vote and NO ONE has to tell who they are voting for…and second it isn’t right for her to punish anyone for their opinion. That is what this country is founded on…the freedom to choose.
I hope her house got egged and rolled.
It seems like McCain’s campaign has brought plenty of stupid people out of the woodwork:
The Minnesota woman who told McCain at a rally “Obama’s an Arab,”
the idiot campaign staffer who carved a backward “B” on her face while claiming to have been attacked,
that moron Joe the Plumber,
and now this, the Leona Helmsley of trick-or-treating.
If nothing else, the McCain campaign will be remembered for the freak show it created.
Well she does get a thumbs up for that Halloween make-up! SCARY!!
Article on the HuffPost- the best polls are the bookies (because they make their money by being right) So I looked at BetFair, plus some others. Betfair- Obama win- 90%+.
From various sites Obama approx 1/9 on (ie you bet 9 to win 1- plus stake back). Decimal odds 1.08 (bet 1 to receive a total of 1.08, ie 8 cents on every dollar you bet)
McCain Concession speech- shortest odds are between 10/11pm and 11pm/midnight (I’m guessing DC time- its not clear) No odds offered on Obama – guess no market for it!
VA- 1/6 Obama, McC- 4/1
FLA – 1/4 Obama, McC 3/1
Nevada goes blue, as does Colorado and New Mexico. In Missouri BOTH are odds on (i.e. bet more than the win)- Even the bookies don’t know (shouldn’t this be Crimson?)
Other close states to go as ‘normal’.
I for one welcome our new liberal nigger socialist muslim communist baby killing That One overlord.
I would have said I’m voting for McCain and taken the candy. Then I would have turned back and yelled “HAHA, I’m voting for Nader!” then torn up the McCain papers and pissed on them.
Don’t be too sure. This might set the standard for all the elections to come, in which case, this one won’t stand out so much.
Anyway, I expect the real freak-show will start when the election coverage today (Tuesday) starts. I’m going to vote as early as I can so I can get back home, fill up on popcorn and beer and laugh all night. It will be like watching an SNL marathon, but without the dignity.
I do too, Last Hussar. But you forgot “antichrist”.
Yes Virginia, that is why chickens lay eggs.
You know, Nagel looks sort of like a witch. Kids should be careful she doesn’t invite them in to check out her oven.
