I Just REAMED My Brother In Law

[rsmith6621]

My brother in law called to basically tell my wife that I am a LAZY person because I lost my job because my ex employer who laid me off 3 weeks could not pay its bills or its employees.... then he could not help himself and invoked President Obama in to the conversation and said.. YOU CAN THANK HIM FOR YOUR LAY OFF.

I grabbed the phone out of my wifes hands and said "how is it Obamas fault my ex company couldnt handle it financial affairs responsibly?...ahhhhhh ahhhhha ahhaaa is all he could say.

Then he launches into a bunch of BLATHER about politics and how bad things are so I asked him the following..


Who is the President of The US
Name one US Senator from Washington State
Who is your Congressman
Name a State House Member
Who is the Mayor of your town
name 2 city councilpersons
name 1 school board member

What are 2 issues that confront your town right now.

He could only answer me with... President Obama

I told him to stop bitchin and get involved that he is a part of the problem not the solution..

[bvar22]

1. It is ubiquitous.

There is a member of our volunteer rural Fire Department
who never passes up a chance to blame Obama for the pot holes in front of his house.

He is now a little more hesitant to do this in front of me.

[LiberalFighter]

14. Have the phone number for him to call for the pot holes.

And then point out that it is a local number to whatever local unit of government it is.

[xtraxritical]

34. I alienated an old lady at our local pool because she was totally FOX, she complained

that her taxes had gone up (in her pay check) under President Obama. I said Republicans that hate paying USA taxes should go to Somalia. I should have said the temporary moratorium on SS withholding had expired but these FOX dips just piss me off.
Stick with Democrats...

[Xithras]

43. Gah. I have a brother in law like that.

He's like a trained parrot at a bellyachers convention. No matter what they're complaining about, he'll sqwawk back a "Blame Obama!"

He once tried to explain to me how the civil liberties violations imposed by the Patriot Act were somehow Obama's fault. Seriously.

[wildeyed]

2. HAHAHA!

Oh burn! You nailed him.

[ceile]

3. excellent! n/t

[quinnox]

4. wow, nice brother in law

jeezus, nice of him to express his sympathy that way --"You lazy so and so! Its that damn President Obama's fault too, now how do you feel for voting for him?"

[gasser85]

25. Great

thanks!

[Liberal_in_LA]

5. k&r

[Cha]

6. Thank you, rsmith! The lazy person always

blames the President for Everything because they haven't bothered to do any research and actually learn about how government works. Or maybe the government is not even involved.. no problem.. "WAH WAH.. It's Obama's fault!" [url=http://freesmileyface.net][img][/img][/url]

[LiberalFighter]

15. That's why there are so many regulations the federal govt is responsible for even though

most any that really effect them are done at the state or local level.

[Enrique]

7. i thought this said "i renamed my brother in law"

i've been reading this for 45 min. trying to figure out what you renamed him to.

[Canoe52]

24. LOL Your're not the only one...

I thought that's what it said the first time I saw it also!

[gasser85]

27. Dickhead

We named him Dickhead.

[Marrah_G]

8. What a nasty person

I would tell him to never call my home again.

[LeftofObama]

10. Me too, Marrah_G.

I have had it up to here with these idiots and I won't tolerate them anymore!

[Marrah_G]

16. It's not even about his politics really

It's about being a nasty human being who kicks their family members when they are down rather then offering them even the tiniest bit of support,

As a society we've been slowly losing our humanity.

[DMNinFL]

9. I love it!!!

The next time my Brother In Law gives me a hard time for voting for President Obama, I am gonna ask him for the $3,500.00 back that I lent him to save his house when all of his "conservative" buddies refused.

[Mnemosyne]

37. Just understand, when you piss one of them off, it cancels their debt to you! At least that's what

I've learned dealing with them.

Welcome to DU! Enjoy the ride!

[sheshe2]

11. Spot on...

rsmith! Righteous Rant~

[Initech]

12. Tell him to turn off Fox News and think for himself.

[GoCubsGo]

19. That doesn't work.

His ilk think liberals are the ones who are "brain-washed". I know. My brother was body-snatched by someone just like that. His attitude is identical to rsmith's BIL's. When you point out the facts to them, they sputter and obfuscate and change the subject. They'll never admit they're wrong, and they will never admit that all they do is parrot talking points from Fox "News" and the like.

[Initech]

21. That's the kind of hypocrisy I love from the right.

They always say we're the brainwashed ones yet they'll parrot literally every talking point made by Fox News and Rush Limbaugh without fact checking their lies and slander. Right and I'm Elvis Presley.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

13. First, I'm sorry about your job.

My hope is with you to find another soon.

Second - Damn, that was one excellent rant you laid into him with! Good work! Maybe next time he'll think twice before spouting off crap when a person is going down a rough road.

[Ernesto]

17. My WBI (worthless bro in law) made his final mistake.......

Tried to give me advice on MY character development....
Asked him just who the F**K do you think you're talking to ASSHOLE?
I think I broke his ignorant lil' fundy-repuke heart..... Haven't seen him for a couple of years now. (works for me!)

[gasser85]

29. Thank you

for your service.

[freshwest]

42. Aahhhh! Don't make me laugh, it's waking me up! Trying to get some sleep! LOL!

[ReRe]

18. Oh...your B-I-L is gonna' get it one of these days (Karma)...

..."God's going to get him for that." Kicking a dog when he's down. That's about the lowest thing anyone can do to you. Just hang up on the SOB if he acts that way. Fuck him. You have more serious things to worry about than stand there and take his ridicule. Just tell him "Fuck off, (insert first name)!" and then slam the phone down. Then walk away and forget about it. Do you hear me? (Talking to yo0u like you're my son...)

[Warpy]

20. Nit wit asshole right wing brothers in law

were put on this earth to be reamed, especially when they blame you or the president for the fact that a company's management fucked up.

I have to admit I don't know the city people. I only pay attention to those if the meetings erupt in gunfire or they start to foul things up. The schools aren't great, but that's more a reflection of how poor this state is, overall, than poor management.

I sincerely hope you find a new job quickly and it pays twice with the nit wit asshole right wing brother in law earns. Or more.

[Canoe52]

22. Good for you!

My SIL was complaining on FB about their company raising their health care costs, "I thought health care was supposed to go down now" she wrote.

Her husband (my brother) is a big Faux news fan and of course they are oblivious to the fact that very little of Obama care has started yet. I told her to write the company president to complain, the government has nothing to do with what the company does.

My dear nephew (brothers son) wrote how it was all those lazy people on unemployment causing health care to go up. Rather than tell him what a twit he was (several other stupid comments in the past like that one) I just blocked him from being able to post on anything I write.

[busterbrown]

23. This is my favorite piece as an explanation for the recession. Simple, but reams one out there!!!

[BlueJazz]

26. Damn...I don't even know the fucker and I hate his guts.

[Bay Boy]

28. I'm going to guess that your brother in law's job

is a lower paying job than the one you lost. Yes?

[rsmith6621]

32. He is on SS Disability and has been since he was 57..

[Bay Boy]

35. I suppose he's gone on a nut

about how welfare recepients should be drug tested. Am I right again?

[lumberjack_jeff]

38. Geez, you must be me.

Brother in law? Check
Ignorant? Check
Washington? Check
Disability since age 57(ish)? Check

It's projection. They project their own weaknesses on everyone else.

It is sooo frustrating to listen to a guy on medicare bitch about "socialized medicine".

[SheilaT]

45. Wow. He's on disability.

You should just tell him since he's obviously too lazy to work, he may as well starve in the streets.

On disability. Who the hell do he thinks is making it possible for him to NOT be starving in the streets?

On disability. No one, but no one who is on disability should EVER complain about social programs.

Don't get me wrong. I firmly believe that we are all here together, and that social programs, including disability ones, are necessary for a decent society. I don't begrudge anyone who actually is on disability. I just wish they'd understand exactly how the system is working. It's not magic money. Only some small portion of it would have come from them. They deserve to continue their lives in dignity, and they should understand that if the right-wing had their way, then they would be starving in the streets.

[Kalidurga]

30. I don't want to go down that rabbit hole...

It makes no sense what he is saying. I wouldn't talk to him anymore. I would encourage the wife to not talk to toxic people either.

[shenmue]

31. You win :)

Well played, sir.

[LaPera]

33. A purposely uninformed 24/7 Fox 'news' pigman Limbaugh junkie no truth or facts-Just fear & hate

[Spitfire of ATJ]

36. I bet this guy believes Obama is to blame for flat tires....

EVERYBODY knows the Soviet Union had inferior products and our wonderful tire companies had to try to survive under his Socialism so they had to switch to bubble gum.

[blues lover]

39. Here in the South

I swim in an ocean of these ignorant meatsacks. To save my sanity and keep my blood pressure from blowing the top of my head out, I usually respond with fake horror and tell them that I just heard that Gay, Muslim,Socialists were coming for our guns and when they get them all we will be forced to have abortions and get gay married. It's truly enlightening to see how many take a looong time to figure out the sarcasm...

[Angry Dragon]

41. Tell them you heard it from me that the NRA is setting up a special fund so they can help

working minorities buy guns so they can protect their homes and families ..........

[Ian Iam]

40. Um.....

........durec

[onethatcares]

44. I called a friend yesterday

to see if he wanted to go fishing when the weather calms down. In the course of the conversation I told him I had been fishing lately
and could not believe that bait shrimp had gone to the price they have. ($7/3 doz). He started in with, "I knew it, the minute Obama
got re elected everything would go up in price".

I told him to shut up, that he was being stupid and President Obama has nothing to do with the price of bait shrimp in Florida.

I'm not going to call him again when I do go out, my stress level isn't what it used to be and I'm afraid I'd toss him out of the boat.

[WoodyD]

46. Hey, that reminds me

of an experience I had just after Obama was first elected. I was at a small, locally owned hot tub shop in Kalispell, Montana - gorgeous area but loaded with Tea Party types. I picked up a couple of replacement jets and when I paid for them I noted that they'd gone up from $18 to $22. The response: "Well, what do you expect? Obama's president now. Everything will be going up. Better stock up on guns and ammo now, because they'll be coming for that next."

I had no idea the president controlled the price of replacement hot tub jets. That dude is powerful! Since this was right after the inaugural, it must have been his very first act. "Lilly Ledbetter be damned! Let's get on this hot tub jet price thing!"

[onethatcares]

48. it's really the regulations he's passed and

the executive orders that have made everything from bait shrimp to hot tub jets more expensive

[Puzzledtraveller]

47. I always knew reamed to be something else.

[MrMickeysMom]

49. I could kiss you, resmith6621!

That is the most intelligent way to handle people, especially the ones who bitch about some gossip which often has nothing to do with the truth, but they believe it. I am going through this on the local end.

They definitely wouldn't be able to name the last 4 ones!

[nobodyspecial]

50. What an ugly person

I would not interact with him at all. I have a brother who is a horrible person. I am never mean to him or make scenes but just avoid interacting with him when we are in the same room. If he asks me something, I am polite and give a short answer and walk away. I don't want to cause family drama, but I would never spend time with him if we were not related.

[Freddie]

51. I must have the worlds only "good" BIL

DH's brother is a long-haired leftover hippie type who's even "lefter" than I am. Not so lucky with a few cousins.

[patrice]

52. K&R for RESPONSIBLE citizenship!
