"Annoy a liberal. Work Succeed."

[Stargazer09]

That was posted on a marquee for a beef jerky business in Plattsmouth, Nebraska. www.beefbark.com

He had posted a blatantly anti-Obama message on his marquee a few weeks ago, so I went to his website and told him that he lost my business. The title of this thread is his response. Pretty stupid, if you ask me. I wasn't annoyed; I just make it a point to not support businesses who publicize political beliefs that I don't agree with.

Thank God we only live here because of the military. As soon as my husband retires, we're moving to someplace more progressive.

I just wanted to share this with people who would understand.

1. Sounds like he speaks fluent Palinese.

[KansDem]

2. What does it mean?

I hope he makes better beef jerky than he does English sentences...

[Stargazer09]

34. I think that he meant that his job was done

He "annoyed a liberal," so he succeeded at his work. But I might be reading too much into it.

I've met the owner a couple of times. He's your typical backward NRA type, afraid that Obama is going to take his guns away.

[KansDem]

41. Oh, I see. So it's like, "Work & Succeed"

Now that makes sense. Thanks! :hi:

3. Reminds me of the Grand Lake Theater Marquee which is liberal

Let them post. We can too and it's free speech and all that. Check out the photos of the Grand Lake Theater marquee. It's a wonderful restored old fashioned movie theater in Oakland, California. I've been there many times.

6. We're too polite as a society. We should be more abrasive with one another.

It's good for the soul- let it out. Don't walk around all pissed off.

[Stargazer09]

He can post whatever he wants

But I feel no need to shop there anymore. :)

[lunatica]

14. I wasn't being critical of your OP! My remark was meant to be snark

Like saying "So what? Let them post!"

It was an excuse to insert the link to the Grand Lake Theater. It was always liberating to read their marquee, especially during the worst of the Bush Administration and their bullying tactics when anyone dared to question them.

[Stargazer09]

27. I didn't take it as criticism

Like I said, I laughed at the stupidity. And it was nice to know that I got under his skin. :evilgrin:

[NewJeffCT]

That deserves its own thread

thanks for that link!

[Mrs. Overall]

20. Love the Grand Lake Theater--I used to live quite close to it.

[TankLV]

26. We had a good one: "Our Boss told us to change this sign, so we did..."

On a hardware store on Beretania Street in Honolulu in the 80's...

[Starry Messenger]

35. Love the Grand Lake Theatre.

I've been there many times as well.

[Robb]

38. LOVE that theater!

...I think. Is that the one with the Wurlitzer?

[Laelth]

44. Those are excellent. Thanks. n/t

45. I used to live a couple of blocks...

...from the Grand Lake.
Very cool theater!

4. I'll Tell Him OK. Let's compare W-2's.

I guarantee i'll embarrass him into soiled paints.

5. He writes like he's talking with a mouthful of jerky..........

Unique talent, that.

[napoleon_in_rags]

7. The idea is that liberals don't work.

Bizarrely, I heard it used in Freepistan when some of them were arguing for secession. Others argued that the left needed the right, because the right does all the work, so the left wouldn't let them secede. Didn't make a lot of sense to me.

[Cha]

25. When it is actually Liberals who are responsible

for everything good in this country..but, they're too willfully ignorant to know it.

They just have to have something to feel good about themselves even if it's a lie.

And, they haven't made Liberal a dirty word..they may think they did but we took it back.

[Initech]

8. Annoy a conservative: use logic.

[Ikonoklast]

12. Doesn't work if they can't comprehend it.

I use hand puppets to get my point across to them. They like puppets. They keep voting for them.

[Initech]

17. Got a better one: annoy a conservative: praise Jeebus!

[Critters2]

9. Did you tell him you're military? The idea of a liberal associated

with the military will give him terminal cognitive dissonance.

[Stargazer09]

13. LOL

No, I didn't mention that. It doesn't matter. I'm just laughing at his horrible grammar, as well as the fact that he thinks he's annoyed me.

Unless I wasn't the only liberal to complain. In which case, I'm laughing that he's losing even more business over his stupidity.

[zbdent]

10. do this ... buy some jerky there ... eat in store ...

then :puke: ... loudly ... and in front of a crowd ...

[Stargazer09]

15. If the shop wasn't so small, I'd do it

You can only fit about three customers into the store, although they did open a second location along I-80. It would be interesting to do it there, if they even get customers at that location. That outlet mall is pretty dead most of the time, which is probably how they can afford the rent.

[secondwind]

11. just let him read this :

THAT SHOULD FIX IT!

[Stargazer09]

18. I doubt it

To give him a tiny amount of credit, he has posted pro-military messages in the past. But none since President Obama took office.

He's probably just another one of those conservatives who thinks that posting "support our troops" on a marquee is the same as actually supporting our troops.

[CrispyQ]

16. I figure they don't need my business.

They must be doing pretty well to flaunt a controversial position, knowing they may turn off potential customers. ;)

[Stargazer09]

23. I drive by his shop every few weeks

It's on my way to one of my favorite shops downtown. It would make me quite happy to see his business dry up, but I'm sure that he has enough local idiots to keep him in business for a long time.

[chaplainM]

39. Waitaminute! You're playing right into his hands!

"It would make me quite happy to see his business dry up"

He makes jerky. "Drying up" is a major part of his business model.

[Stargazer09]

40. Dang it!

I didn't even think of that! :patriot:

[chaplainM]

42. Diabolically clever, those Freepers! n/t

[mitchum]

19. Only cow asses go into the jerky...

the horse's ass has to run the place

[bunkerbuster1]

22. That's a good 'un.

that conservatives feel a need to drive around with obnoxious stickers like that speaks volumes about their weakness.

[sarcasmo]

32. Kind of like Lips and Hoofs into Hot Dogs.

[zbdent]

21. "Annoy a Republican: THINK"

[HughMoran]

24. Not only not buy the product

Offer a shout out on the web site ;)

[Stargazer09]

29. Unfortunately

They screen comments, and it doesn't appear that they posted my message. That's okay, though. I know I sent it, and after seeing the marquee, I know they got it. B-)

[Arkana]

28. Do they honestly think that all liberals

are dirty hippies who have no jobs and just stay home and fuck each other and then abort the babies?

Oh, wait. Of COURSE that's what they think. Their lords and masters that tell them what to think said so.

[undeterred]

30. I saw that on a bumper sticker.

It strikes me as kind of desperate.

[Stargazer09]

43. I agree

These people are imploding from their frustration over losing the election.

[sarcasmo]

31. What does a business think is the positive for posting political messages?

I think they don't think it about the negatives.

[kwolf68]

33. If I see someone like that..

I just say...

I work, I succeed and I'm Liberal. How does this work again?

They call us Liberals arrogant and elitist, but it's funny they have their own arrogance in that they have 'better work ethic' are 'more moral' and such. It's just like the PC shit, they get worked up over Liberal PC, but are as oppressive with their own PC ediface (typically revolving around nationalism and jingoism).

[SalmonChantedEvening]

36. Annoy an idiot: Tell him how to spell and use the word AND.

:hi:

[petronius]

46. The part that annoys me is that freeper-types think "Succeed" means

'Dodge your taxes. Cheat your employees. Gouge your customers. Trash the environment. Etc.'

[proud patriot]

47. Annoy a repuke , work hard, succeed and be compassionate

:evilgrin:
