I just kicked a racist out of my shop over Bush/Obama

[JAYJDF]

I'm still a little pumped up.

This older guy comes into my small shop and straight back to the counter.
We are closing our shop after 7 years and everything is 50% off.

So this guy asks if I'm quitting and I said yes, I can't make it through another winter in this summer tourist town.
So he said he knows things are tough but will be much worse if Obama was elected.
Then he proceeded to tell me that I shouldn't worry, it will never happen.

So I told him I'm going out of business because of Bush.
He said Bush didn't do very well but the Dems would have done worse.
I said I couldn't vote for a walking dead man and just any woman off the street.
He said Palin had much more experience than Obama.
(why do they compare a vp to a prez candidate?)

So then he asked why do we only hear about the "white" side of Obama.
I said, excuse me.
He said you know he's half black and half white.
I asked him if he was a racist and he said yes.
I told him to get out of my shop and I was on his heels all the way to the door.

Unfkn believeable!!!!

[JAYJDF]

10. Depressing

Of course I congratulate you for standing up for what is right.

But the fact that you should have an encounter like that in this day and age is absolutely depressing. Couldn't we just deport all the assholes?

12. Ed Schultz said today someone rear ended him because of Obama sticker on his car -

It is hard to believe there are those in the country who still cannot give our founding father's conviction that "ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL". The dream is coming closer and closer though! We shall overcome!

14. This is part-election, part-exorcism /nt

13. My small business thrived during the Clinton Administration

It has withered and died under Bush.

Good work with the old bugger -- he didn't have any other reason to be against Obama than the color of his skin.

15. The only unbelievable thing: he admitted that he was a racist.

Such candor is hard to come by nowadays from the racist set.

16. I lost a good friend over this shit!

She sent me one of Pat Buchanan's racist rants. I asked her to not send me anymore e-mails like that, that it saddened me to think she approved of it. Haven't heard from her since. Good riddance!

18. If I was in Estes Park right now, I'd buy you a beer...

No, make that six beers. Good job.

Sorry to see your shop close up. Estes Park is one of our favorite places to go on a long weekend, to get away from South Dakota. Hope it goes well for you after.

Cheers...
