my company hit a new low today

[backwoodsbob]

on labor day there is a Hannity rally thing close to here and they are offering to pay people for the day to go.

Much as I hate hannity this is doubletime and it could be fun to wear My Obama t-shirt there.

Will be back in a minute after I clean up from work to see what you think I should do

[hedgehog]

1. Don't put your job at risk if management can't take a joke.

[tabatha]

2. Do you think they'll take their money back if you wear an Obama shirt?

Of fire you?

Any company that pays people to go to a Hannity rally probably won't like anti-Hannity.

[tridim]

3. I would tell the boss to shove his doubletime hannity straight up his ass.

But then again, I'm unemployed.

[Juche]

4. Yay. Maybe Hannity will explain to you all why corporate tax cuts are good and unions evil

Its almost like the company has ulterior motives.

[SoCalDem]

5. I would write an anonymous letter to the home office

and ask them if they knew that location #- - - - was paying people double time to attend a hate-speech rally, and then enclose a copy of the letter to the editor that you (as anonymous) plan to send the local newspaper.

DO NOT SEND AN EMAIL...

[Kerrytravelers]

7. This is exactly what I would do.

[SoCalDem]

9. Yep..home offices are deadly afraid of bad publicity

and the threat of a LTTE is sometimes enough.

If people want to take the day off WITHOUT pay, to go to the hate-rally, let 'em, but being PAID doubletime to attend hate rallies cannot be good business..

[Stephanie]

8. Agreed - report them or expose them to the press

I'd love know what your company does but don't get yourself into trouble by telling.

[SoCalDem]

11. Massey Energy is sponsoring the event

:puke:
http://blogs.dailymail.com/donsurber/2009/08/11/sean-hannity-will-save-the-coal-industry-on-labor-day/

Sean Hannity will save the coal industry on Labor Day

snip

And so Massey Energy is bringing in Hank Williams Jr., Sean Hannity and Ted Nugent in Southern West Virginia on Labor Day for a concert and politics. Nugent will emcee but not perform.

snip

[backwoodsbob]

14. yeah thats the show

my company makes roof bolts for mines and are doing this *they say*(lol) because it's part of the coal whatever festival going on there

[bullimiami]

15. wow that is a triple shot of super assholes.

[backwoodsbob]

13. the head of the company is the one who is doing this

we are a privately family owned business.The owners are the ones doing this

[SoCalDem]

16. Then just send the letter to the editor

if not your own paper, then perhaps a nearby one..or call the UMW office & let THEM ballyhoo the paid attendance..so you don't lose your job..

If I were you, I would go, say nothing, but take lots of candid shots..especially of the signs..and maybe a video camera too, to record what's said.. then send it all to YouTube

[Catshrink]

6. Go...

and hold up a sign pointing to the birthers or whomever with a message like -- "has no clue what socialism is" or "he's not against health care reform, he just hates black people" or something like these. Just do us a favor and use spell check!

This is my inspiration for this post:

[ieoeja]

10. Your Obama T-shirt would be framed as, "look at this guy; even former Obama supporters..."

"... were at the rally to register their disgust with what Obama is doing to our country."

An "O'Reilly is a Liar" t-shirt might work.

[madrchsod]

12. go--take pictures and interview people

play it straight to get people to open up to you. you have great opportunity ..ya can`t pass up it up!


maybe you can get another picture of sean`s wife!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x6254681

[orleans]

17. i second what madrchsod said

interview people, get it recorded,

find out what they're thinking, what they think of the brainless fox boy--but i would not recommend starting a pissing contest with these asswipes or the assholes who own your job and are helping to sponsor the event.

you don't need to lose your job at this point in time.

[LiberalFighter]

18. Tell them they have to file a campaign expenditure report with the FEC

It might make them nervous.

Tell them it may be a violation of prohibition against contributions by a corporation or labor union.

Telling them it might be a violation of federal law may push them to contact their corporate hdqtrs and they may put the clamp on it.

[formercia]

28. Let them spend the money first.

Give the working stiffs a paid day off. The 'Deathers' are already zombies.

[onethatcares]

19. take the "I'm being paid to be here" sign.

you'd be telling the truth.

[Sebastian Doyle]

20. A Hannity rally on Labor Day?

Isn't that about the equivalent of a KKK rally on MLK's birthday? :puke:

[backwoodsbob]

25. pretty much

sort of a neo nazi rally at a holocaust memorial feel to it isn't there.

Ok..I'm going and outwardly playing nice and wearing my work clothes as requested by management and bring a camera and charging the ole cell phone for pics ;-)

And over my wifes *your nuts* objections and inspired by the sign subthread I'm taking a *I'm with stupid* poster with me

[RagAss]

21. Eat Beans the night before and Fart Fart Fart !

[slampoet]

27. +1

[deaniac21]

22. You need to rethink your employment. Money isn't worth working

for polluters.

[Ikonoklast]

23. Don't do anything to jeopardize your employment.

As another poster above stated, get a video camera of the nitwits spouting their hate and discontent, and put it on YouTube.

BTW, Massey is a fucking evil empire of a company.

[Octafish]

24. Go undercover.

Pretend you like Hannity with everybody and then say something like:

"I really liked how funny he was when he talked about the Death Panels.
What a hoot! Then I remembered my cousin's insurance company was like a Death Panel
when they denied coverage for her chemo."

There are many more examples of ways to distribute the antidote to Hannity, truth.

Good people will remember.

[slampoet]

26. Wait. Your company is so suck ass they don't pay you for Labor day w/o hannity?

[backwoodsbob]

29. no we get holiday pay

they are offering people 8 hours EXTRA to go at holiday pay rate which is doubletime
