A McCain support, that's who. They just reported this on my local news station in Portland, OR. The lady asked the kids and/or parents who they supported and if they said Obama she rudely told them to leave, one kid was even crying. This is the hateful people that support McCain/Palin.

2. Don't the idiots realize that that sort of behavior
HURTS their candidate? I live at the end of a dirt road in a rural area, so I don't get any kids coming to trick or treat. But if I lived in a town, I'd have my Obama signs out and would give EVERYONE generous amounts of treats!

9. I would say they are ignorant, simple-minded, empty-headed, self-important assholes
this is the lowest of the low of behaviors

I wish I knew where these kids live so I can send them some candy.

sure to go Dem so she's probably coming unhinged.

7. That's the warm-hearted, compassionate and caring right winger in action.
IMO, freepers lack the capacity to at least see the other person's point of view. In their world, it's just THIS or THAT, and never the twain shall meet.

13. There is hate in the world and it is not confined to Republicans,
but that woman (she is not a lady) probably assured that those kids will remember her attitude and grow up to be good Democrats. Otherwise, you never know.

One of my best friends is a retired man who bleeds Republican to the extent that he believes that both Bush and McCain are not conservative enough, that they are actually Democrats! He had 3 sons and his youngest son was very intelligent and went to college, graduating from the University of Minnesota. His dad laments that the university turned his son into a Liberal! Right, his dad had him for 18 years and the UM for 4, but they turned him. The truth is that even though my friend's political philosophy is conservative he did plant some good seeds in his sons that allowed them to make their own decisions.

17. I'm a horrible mommy. When we came across a house that.....
had McCain Palin signage plastered all over their windows in order to get around the HOA prohibition against yard signs (few houses have done this, but not remotely to this obnoxious extent), I pointed out a series of three houses in a row across the street that had their lights on and great decorations. Distracted my kids away from that house and somehow never managed to make it back.

20. Wow. What an ass. I think our Obama yard sign must have scared
off some kids last night. We live in a very red country. Last night was the first time we had candy left over, EVER. We normally get at least 100 trick-or-treaters. We had maybe 20 last night. And I really, really don't need to eat the candy.

40. I watched a couple skip our house.
Not many, though. We were down in numbers in the whole neighborhood, and I have two bags of candy left that I don't need to have around the house. Weird.

28. Being a McCain supporter tells me all I need to know.
McCain has run a hateful campaign. You reap what you sow. I'm sorry that the children were subjected to this kind of person.

29. better than the bastard
who shot some child to death.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7703990.stm

A 12-year-old has been shot dead while trick-or-treating with his family in the US state of South Carolina.

The boy's father and brother were also wounded by gunfire, police said.

The shooting occurred in Sumter at about 2030 (0030 GMT) when the family approached a house and a man fired on them from inside the property.

A 22-year-old suspect, Quentin Patrick, is in custody, charged with murder and assault and battery with intent to kill, prison officials said.

'Tragic evening'

As the family stood at the door of the house, they heard what they thought were fireworks, Sumter police chief Patty Patterson said.

31. Wow. My kids just refused to go to McCain houses.
They did that on their own (they're 6 and 8, and the 8 y.o. is a huge Obama supporter). I had a couple of kids skip my house, and I figured later that it was probably because of my yard signs and all, but still, that's totally wrong on so many levels.

38. My kids did the same thing.
They wanted to skip the houses with McCain yard signs. I told them that the McCain people were still our neighbors even if they were wrong about some things and we shouldn't skip their houses. They still wouldn't go.

Which station was that if I may ask.

42. I Was Very Very Surprised By My Trick Or Treaters In This VERY RED County Of Sarasota
last night. I got tired of stolen signs or having to bring them in every night, so I painted a VERY LARGE one and hung it from my roof! Most of the kids greeted me with GO-BAMA! I gave them extra candy!

I was on a "high" for a while... until I couldn't sleep last night and felt gloom & doom this AM! It's ANXIETY ATTACKS and I'm not going for the KLONOPIN during the day! HATE the stuff!

52. She's a rotten piece of shit, and will get her just desserts on Nov. 4th.
If this is how she caters to her miserable state of self loathing, by picking on CHILDREN to make herself feel superior, then she is truly a loser, and her hate is likely eating her alive like a cancer.

Knowing how miserable she must be at all times makes me feel a little better.
