No Treats for Obama Supporters

A Grosse Pointe Farms woman is accused of pulling a political dirty trick. Instead of giving away treats to every child who knocks on her door, parents say she's only giving them to kids who agree with her choice for president. FOX 2's Andrea Isom talked with the woman accused of denying children candy.

3. Curiously, on my block...
The best candy came from a guy with a McCain/Palin sign in his yard, and he was wearing a McCain button as big as a saucer during trick-or-treat. Nevertheless, he was giving out full-sized Snickers and Butterfingers.

With that kind of incentive, I may have to reconsider my support for Obama!

6. What a cruel, nasty, hateful, arrogant POS
Once again, another video that I hope is preserved for history. I hope someday that future generations will be able to look back on this time in history and be appalled at the hate that the McCain supporters have shown.

22. The hate didn't start with McCain, it's been there festering for a while.
Hate is a GOP virtue.

11. We did too, but for a different reason
We weren't going to be home and we didn't want anyone either stealing our signs or egging the house if they happened to not like our "No on 8" (or Obama) signs.

20. I'd love to meet a liberal that would even THINK of doing that
to children of McCain supporters, much less actually do it. I can't even imagine the kind of mindset that would come up with an idea like that, to actually bring politics into something as good-natured and benevolent as giving out candy to kids on Halloween. What a sick minded beeeyootch.

I have plenty of suggestions for "tricks" on that woman's house next year for anybody that lives nearby.

35. I don't remember which poster it was, but someone here last evening said that every T or T'er got
an Obama sticker with their candy. That, to me, is also politics injected into what is supposed to be a treat for kids. I'll try to find the post.

I would just ask that individual, are you trying to get out the 6 year old vote? But even so that's just a very misguided attempt at campaigning. What this woman did was downright nasty.

"You judge a book by its cover, and we've been waiting for that chance with her," said Nagel, dressed in a hockey jersey like the rest of the Michigan delegation. "We want to see how tall she is, if she wears heels, how she wears her hair. That's stuff us Republican women need to know."

25. SHE'S A DELEGATE-----SHE WENT TO THE CONVENTION

ST. PAUL, Minn, Sept. 3 -- In the front row at the Xcel Energy Center, Michigan delegates Shirley Nagel and Nancy Cassis leaned into the aisle, scanned the stage and waited. Past 10 p.m. and still no sign.


It felt, Nagel said, like waiting for the appearance of a bride.


Nagel, a retired schoolteacher from Detroit, had anticipated few events as eagerly as she did Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's speech Wednesday night. Ever since Sen. John McCain named her his running mate Friday, Nagel had watched clips of Palin on television, read stories about her in the newspaper, and learned enough about her family -- the new baby, the pregnant daughter, the daughter's boyfriend -- to feel, Nagel said, "like we've known each other for 20 years." All that remained, she said, was a formal introduction.

"You judge a book by its cover, and we've been waiting for that chance with her," said Nagel, dressed in a hockey jersey like the rest of the Michigan delegation. "We want to see how tall she is, if she wears heels, how she wears her hair. That's stuff us Republican women need to know."

When Palin finally did make her introduction, Nagel approved of what she saw -- and heard. Nagel once coached a high school speech and debate team, and she liked how Palin defended her family without sounding defensive. She stood up on her red folding chair at the end of Palin's speech and leaned in to take a picture. "She started with the family and then moved on, just like everybody should do," Nagel shouted above the roar of the crowd. "She's a woman, and she showed she's tough. She attacked Obama. She touched on all the issues. We love her."

Said Cassis, a state senator from suburban Detroit: "This is history. The Democrats had a chance to put a woman on the ticket, and they punted. Not us. is elevating women just by her presence. I will always remember this."

I’m not convinced Shirley is a McCain/Palin supporter. I smell another “B carved into my face” scam.

3 posted on Saturday, November 01, 2008 4:33:51 PM by LiberConservative ("Typical white guy")

She should have asked which children’s parents were voting for Obama, showed them the candy she was going to give to them, and then redistribute it to the other children. “See, kids? Hope and Change! Wheee!”

It's not funny nor extreme. It's the attitude and behavior every patriot in America should display.

Libs should be made to suffer omnipresent stress.

Change this to “razor blades and rotten apples for supporters of McCain” and it doesn’t even make the news.

There is an ideological WAR, and only one side is fighting it.

Time to stop being so generous and charitable to libs.

They intend to stifle our liberty, our speech, and our right to property. Treat them accordingly.

43. another a**hole thug halloween story - west palm beach this time
one of my customers took her kids out last night.
the thug who answered the door asked who each kid
supported in the election. one said obama and one
said mcshame

so she gave the obama kid one piece of candy and the
mcshame kid a whole handful.

she said to them "this is called sharing the wealth."

these bottom-feeders are human refuse.
