So apparently Obama is a tyrant...

On a flight yesterday, I was seated in from of these 2 rabid RW, who proceeded to have a loud discussion about how Obama was a tyrant , and all these illegal things that he had done and passed while he was in office. I started to just put my headphones on, and not listen to the drivel, but it really got under my skin...I took off my seat belt, so I could turn around, and before I could...this older man from the seat across me, had calmly got to his feet, leaned down into them, and said a few things to them. They were quiet after that, for like the whole flight and I looked across and winked at the guy. I just wanted to kiss him, yes, OB supporters are everywhere, and these RW live in their own bubble fed by the likes of Faux..

What is really mind blowing is that they think if they talk loud they're "educating" people. I hope monmouth Oct 2012 #4

And that's really powerful, unless you're up against someone who doesn't want to hear about objective reality.

That is my vision of hell! I'd be trying to open that goddamn window just to escape from 'em!

Very cool story, HipChick!

a couple of weeks ago... I was sitting in the back and the flight attendants were absolutely glowing about how well Obama was doing... I couldn't help but chime in and (as much as I hate to say it) we talked quite loudly about how excited we were... we probably irritated any Romney supporters on the plane

.....people need to let them know it.

These are the people who still follow those who lied us into a war and they have the NERVE to act like they are superior.
