Woman denies Halloween candy to Obama supporters
ASSOCIATED PRESS • November 1, 2008

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."

3. This sounds like a job for ...

TOILET PAPER MAN!!!

4. It doesn't affect any progressives I know!

None of them sent their children out in ridiculous attire in support of some stupid Xtian cerimony. Those people that dress-up as evil spirits thinking that they're placating these non-existant evil spirits are mentally ill.

7. Google Samhain

before you make an even bigger mug of yourself.

[jamesb2004]

9. Or samain as I learned in school...

But you're missing the point. It was those stupid, supersitious Xtians that picked-up on it and made it into a lucrative business.

24. Greedy businesses had as much if not even more to bear for turning Halloween into what it is.

For them, profit is the name of the game, and they profited by selling more candy by pushing Halloween. They also did the same thing with Xmas. Again, the profit motive is to blame there, not traditional Christians.

10. WTF are you talking about?

It's Hallowe'en. No matter the All Hallows Eve traditions some follow or All Saints Day that most don't pay attention to, IT'S KIDS.

Evil Spirits???

This is the flip side of Landover Baptist Church

[jwirr]

11. Christian ceremony? Since when?

[Richard Steele]

17. No, no,no...it's a "cerimony".

Pizza Delivery...now THAT'S a CEREMONY!

[jkshaw]

12. The origin is pagan

[Crunchy Frog]

13. Aw, I think trick or treaters are kind of cute.

I fully intend on dressing my own kids up in ridiculous attire when the time comes. Welcome to DU. :)

(BTW, I think most of them dress up as evil spirits thinking that they're going to get candy.)

[JVS]

25. LOL

[Warpy]

5. Good, those kids will grow up to hate nasty Republicans

Of course, she didn't think of that part, did she?

[CC]

6. Oh I wish I lived near her...

it would of been so much fun to stand there and explain to kids I know that she is a perfect example of why repukes are bad for the country and shouldn't be voted for. :rofl:

[gratuitous]

8. Well, in my neighborhood

She'd be able to eat for a month with all the eggs she'd have splattered all over the front of her house. And the back. And the sides. She actually turned kids away empty-handed and crying. Hardly necessary to identify her as a Republican, isn't it?

[LiberalPersona]

14. Nice way

to set an example of sharing and generosity for children.

[OwnedByFerrets]

15. But, you fucking idiot....if you have YOUR way, women WONT have a

CHOICE!!!! FU ASSHOLE

[Richard Steele]

16. Kids are impressionable, and she's taught a bunch of them that Republicans are assholes.

They won't forget it. She just turned more of them into Democrats
than a million dollars worth of TV ads ever could.

[raysr]

18. Well, it's a "trick" then!

[Horse with no Name]

19. what a sad and pathetic woman n/t

[NWPatriot]

20. This frikken' sucks on so many levels n/f

[stewartcolbert08]

21. and her "choice" is to be a BITCH!

Who ever heard of respecting individual thought anyway, psh! So overrated! :rant:

[geomon666]

22. God, what a disgusting beast.

I'm surprised she didn't include the word n***ers on that sign, that pathetic pig.

[Tabasco_Dave]

23. EGGS EGGS EGGS !!!!!!

Id love to be a teenager in that neighborhood.
