Obama booth at state fair - my DH got into a verbal fight!
Advertisements [?]
We were at our State Fair and found the Obama booth to purchase some bumper stickers, pins, etc. and sign up to volunteer as it gets closer to election.

As we are standing there, an old man comes up to booth and says "all democrats are assholes" to a young worker! Of course, my husband is there and has not been shy this election season to speak up. He asked "why would you say that" and the old guy goes off saying Dems don't respect the sanctity of life, that they spend way too much. My DH then began to talk to the guy and he interrupted at least 3 times calling him an asshole until my husband's voice got louder. All the workers were looking and the old guy says "I'm 84 and served during the Korean war, what have you done" which I could tell, makes my DH madder - I finally pulled him away so as not to have the State Fair Police (yes, they have those too) come get my husband!

As we were leaving, all the workers looked at us and said the old guy was the asshole!
