"We were trying to figure out how to assassinate Obama" |
|
I walked into the local bar Saturday night and walked over to the local Chevrolet dealer and asked, "What are you guys up to?"
"We were trying to figure out how to assassinate Obama," was the reply I got! Followed by and embarrassed "No" and a red face. The local church deacon was visibly NOT on board with the comment.
What is a person supposed to do about this kind of blatant racism and hatred? I guess one thing is to boycott the business, if you do any business there to begin with. But how do we counter this and make some of these people get their heads on right?

22. I know this person! There are a few very racist people in this small town. |
|
I should be doing some serious anthropology on them!

2. For starters, you could name names. |

Embarrass them out of their rat holes.

That kind of talk is not free speech.

8. You could are report them o the Secret Service |
|
Even if they were just joking, the Secret Service doesn't take kindly to threats on the President.
At the very least it would cause those who made the comments some grief.

That's about all "conservatives" are doing these days.

11. The first rule of correcting bad behavior: |
|
Whether it's kids, dogs, or Chevy dealers, you first have to make them understand it's unacceptable.
The Secret Service showing up would definitely do that.

28. It certainly cannot be considered as simply horrific humor. |
|
No matter how bad your sense of comedy is, sane people would never say something like this to be funny. It seemed like liquor may have loosened a tongue too far, and real sentiment got ahead of the brain shifting into gear.

15. It is amazing to me that people will make comments like that. |
|
Folks who think that they are 100% patriotic while making comments about the county failing and the President being harmed. Under * I never would have spoken out on either issue for fear of being hauled in under the 'Patriot Act'. There are some awful folks out there, no getting around it. My sister refers to the President as Barry as a slam. If I could have called * what I wanted to I still wouldn't print it here.

23. The retired sheriff makes this guy seem liberal. |
|
The old sheriff is the worst racist I have ever encountered. I suspect they would just laugh.

21. I've never had any use for a snitch |
|
but I'd inform the FBI, in 5 seconds flat. That little group needs some infiltrating. Who knows next they could be sewing peace quilts. You know the kind of groups the FBI is used to spying on. Maybe they wouldn't be interested in Presidential Assassinations, plans? I wonder if they still have links to Bush and Cheney?
