My little, old, sweet, church going, Southern Mom just wrote "F-- you"

[Misinformed01]

on a piece of note paper (probably Crane) and put it in the self addressed stamped envelope to the RNC...

I am forty; I have NEVER heard my mother talk like that in her entire life!

Are anyone else's elderly relatives acting strange since Edwards joined Kerry???

Granted, we are native North Carolinians, and I knew she couldn't stand Bush, but wow!

[ChickMagic]

1. At least she wasn't on the Senate floor! n/t

[Misinformed01]

2. She would NEVER say anything like that in public

retired elemtary school teacher...I am telling you, I am shocked!

btw, I told her to go ahead and mail it; it will make her feel better-

[Bozita]

3. She should have taped that envelope to a brick

Addressee pays postage.

[sweetladybug]

21. I think we need to send as many elderly folks to the senate floor as

possible. I worked for years as a case manager for senior citizens. These folks are angry (very angry) I have seen many cry because of the stolen election in 2000 and it's breaking their hearts to see what is happening to our country. They were not conned by Bush and his crime family. We all need to get the money and busses together and get as many seniors as possible on their way to Washington and let them give Bush and his crime family a good old fashion ass whipping.
ELECT KERRY AND EDWARDS 2004!!!!

[yardwork]

4. Wow. That gave me a huge smile

down here in North Carolina. Tell your mama that she rocks.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

5. We're gonna have to send her back to finishin' school! It's not F*ck You!

It's "How nice!"

[Misinformed01]

7. Seriously! I mean she was giddy when

she called to tell me about it!

The RNC sent her one of those stupid "I can't believe you have forgotten us and we want a donation" letters....(why they are wasting their time with anyone in my family is beyond me) and Mom just snapped, I guess!

I was so shocked I had to call Michael at work; he thinks it's hilarious!

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

10. Good on Mom....I kinda wish they'd send YOU one

:D

[Misinformed01]

13. Oh, they did

Needless to say, I have been removed from the list. They actually sent me an autographed numbered photo of that little jackass on the ship...when he was playing pilot...

My God.

[ronnykmarshall]

17. I LOVE that joke.

[Dorian Gray]

22. "How Nice."

Well, I'm a Yankee, but I was told by some of my Southern friends that "My, My, My" could fill in as the old "Fuck You!" for the gentrified and countrified Southern Belles!

[Mandate My Ass]

6. WTG!!!

Sometimes enough is enough. Seems like Mrs. Misinformed01 reached her breaking point and nothing but the F-bomb would suffice to vent her outrage.

I've been thinking about my deceased gramma a lot lately. She was also sweet, demure, never missed mass on Sunday and was utterly unflappable. However, she also had her limit. That sweet old lady in F9/11 who laid it out against Bush* reminded me a great deal of her.

Of all the demographics in the country I think the seniors are least taken in by the charlatans who are running the show right now.

[Misinformed01]

9. Mom's favorite President was Roosevelt

and she feels like Bush is especially bad for African Americans and the public school system (again, retired teacher) but, I damn sure never saw the "F" thing coming!

[Bozita]

12. Tell her that I admire her choice of presidents and of language

A+

[Hubert Flottz]

8. Bless her heart!

ROTFLMAO! I just talked to a preacher today who voted for Bush and he was REALLY PISSED! He was foaming at the mouth about Cheney's remark! We gave the bastards the rope and it's hanging them for us!

[napi21]

16. Interesting reply from your pastor. I wonder how many

voters did the same thing. I mean, they were pissed at Clinton and decided to give the Pubs a chance. After all, they kept hearing how much better they could do if just given the opportunity. Well, they did, and they're not happy with the results! That's why I don't really believe this election is going to be that close. I've just heard way too many people who said things like, I thought I'd give then a chance, or I didn't realize they'd be THIS BAD.

[Hubert Flottz]

27. The good Reverend said that nobody in his church was going

to vote for Bush this time! And yes your are exactly right about Clinton being the reason they gave Bush a chance! Clinton's adventure and the gun deal cost Al Gore Wv last time! I doubt Bush will carry Wv this fall! The unemployment alone will do Bush in here! The preacher was also mad about Bush lying all the time!

[camero]

11. Rage makes you do funny things

Maybe she is in a rage about Bush attacks on seniors, women, children, the disabled, and minorities. Good on her. I can understand her rage.

[calico1]

14. Please tell your mom:

:yourock:

[GoneOffShore]

15. Your mom rocks!

Give her a big old hug from us here at DU!!

[tandot]

18. I am so enraged with everything that is going on with these criminals

that yelling "f*ck off" or "go f*ck yourself" whenever I see those scumbags on TV has become a bad habit.

I don't know her but your mom sounds like a cool lady. :thumbsup:

[blm]

19. Hahah. That is priceless.

How long will you keep a grin on your face over that one?

[Misinformed01]

32. I am still laughing and in shock

:)

[Liberal Veteran]

20. We should all do that with right wing mail...

Just write on it "Go fuck yourself", Hugs and Kisses, Dick Cheney.

[SunDrop23]

23. North Carolina here too!

Good for your mom. I am sure she is not alone.

[wryter2000]

24. Good for Mom!

Tell her next time to say "Go Cheney yourself." That way she doesn't have to use the F word.

[Misinformed01]

26. That's what Michael (the Cutest Husband Ever)

told me to tell her; I think it just made her feel good to finally just write "F!"

I am serious, she is burned up!

[progressivebydesign]

25. I'm roaring with laughter!

That "Crane" stationery thing was too funny. Good for your Mom. My Mom has been a roaring liberal since I was old enough to know it.. Gloria Stienam (sp?) was my idol when I was in Jr. High.. I even had the glasses!

Good for your Mom! Edwards is just too cool for the room!

[catmandu57]

28. I just scared the cats away

Laughing so loud, way to go mom.

[Hamlette]

29. My 80 year old mom called at the crack of dawn yesterday

thrilled about Edwards! She is a dem and always votes but she didn't like Kerry and wasn't got to work for him this year or send money.

I think she'll be back knocking on doors this year with Edwards on the ticket, and I bet she'll send the full $2K too.

[Squibbie]

30. My 85 year old mom just told me that whenever B*S*

appears on TV, she shouts out, "You goddam sonofabitch!" and mutes the sound. My 88 year old Dad saw F911 even before I saw it. His response -
"I hate Bush and Cheney even more." We live in Missouri. I've got a couple of cool swingers for parents.
Keep the Faith.

[nomatrix]

31. The prescriptions "drug plan"

and the underhanded, theives increasing the cost of prescriptions have pushed the seniors over the edge.

Edwards, is the least of it.

[redqueen]

33. Wow!!!!

When even sweet little old churchgoing ladies are cussing you, you *know* something's seriously wrong with you!

Your mom sounds like one heck of a cool lady. :)

[jukes]

34. good for her, Mis!

you come from good, liberal stock!



:bounce:

35. Reminds me of my mother a few years ago,

I was over visiting her - she was about 78 at the time. She was sitting crocheting a baby blanket, the very picture of a demure grandmother, with the TV on while we sipped from our dainty china teacups. One of the infernal anti-choice bills was on the ballot that year, and one of their TV ads came on, with all the rhetoric about sweet little babies and whatnot. I held my breath, not knowing whether my mother had gone and turned rightwing in her old age (she's the mother of six and the grandmother of...jeebus, I don't even KNOW how many nieces and nephews I have now). She looked up from her crocheting at the TV and growled, "That's the biggest crock of shit I ever heard in my life!" and went back to her baby blanket.
