Should I kick this fundies ass?
Edited on Sat Nov-06-04 12:17 AM by RummyTheDummy
Just got an e-mail from my wife saying she was in tears over something a Repug said at her part time job tonight. She's not very political and not willing to stand up for herself. This guy is a total fundie.

The question is should I her husband confront this POS and tell him to cease? It's a fairly cushy part time job that pays well, but sometimes you have to draw the line.

I dunno?

I could kill the guy so I had better be careful. I'm 6-2, 290 and I do a lot of weight lifting.

1. When it is back up, send her to the Christianity page of my site
Even if she won't throw this stuff in his face, it may comfort her.

*hugs to wifey; I too have had bosses who made me cry.*

FIGHT! Take this country back one town and state at a time!

2. Face him politely.
Edited on Sat Nov-06-04 12:35 AM by Azure
Let him know in no uncertain terms that it won't be tolerated. If he backs down and apologizes, walk away. If he gets mouthy, drop him.

There's also the possibility of harrassment charges. One way or another, the guy should be confronted.

It's time to start standing up.

ON EDIT: Don't worry, he won't get mouthy in any case. These types who pick on women will be the first to back down at the slightest challenge. It wouldn't take 6'2" and 290 to scare this guy. I'm 5' 11" and 160 and I know he wouldn't say shit to me, much less a very large weight lifter like yourself. Tell him what's up and watch him trip over himself to apologize. These guys are bullies and chickenhawks. You won't have to do much more than show up to get him apologizing like crazy.

6. Tell him that You wife take no abuse from no one PERIOD then
ask him what part of the Bible does he not understand when Jesus said to Love they neighbor as thyself ! Watch him crawl away as most of these people have no scripture to back up their talk. also Tell him in the King James Version it says the one thing that God hates most of all is Sowing discord among the brethern ..that includes women. It is an abomination, then tell him to look it up. I alsways suggest throwing scripture back to them as they have hijacked religion.

4. I wansn't there and she didn;t get into many specifics
She walked in and started taunting her in front of the office "hey how about that Kerry" and "Go Kerry" she said he went "on and on"

If she was mouthy and political herself, I wouldn't care as much. But she's not that type at all, the complete opposite.

5. Well, I'd definitely confront him
for your wife's sake. You can't let people do that kind of shit to her.

15. unacceptable
you have all the right to confront this guy and explain exactly as you have here on this board why what he did was out of line. Tell him to leave your wife out of it and if he has a problem he can take it up with you. There is no excuse for bringing the fight to someone who hasn't asked for it (and thats on either side of the aisle IMO).

7. The thickneck side of me...
...would suggest kicking the fucking shit out of him with a brick.

But you should direct her to the HR department for harassment. Keep the power in her hands to not defang your wife.

8. I think you should
Sometimes in this life certain things pop up that we have to stand up for. There is no better time then the present that we Democrats stand up and show these repuke cowards just who has the ideas and attitude to lead America. Our biggest problem during this last presidential election was to not show just how tough and at the same time well thought out we are. The repukes very successfully painted us as a party of so called girlie men that would run away at the drop of a dime.

It's time to show who the real cowards are. The shrub's, Cheney's, Limpball's, Rove's all having so much in common. The biggest common bond isn't the fact they are draft dodgers but draft dodgers that beat their chests for this war and chicken shitted out when their turn came.

We have Kerry, Clark, Kerrey, Mc Peak, Rangel, Mc Dermit, Cleland, the list is endless. We don't see these men out there beating their chest showing the world what great heroic warriors they were because great people who do great thing Don't have to play make believe.

Stand up and start spreading this message to other fellow Dems. We are a tough lot but a tough lot with a deep heart! Who could ask for anything more?

10. Well said.
We have to reframe the debate in regard to this ridiculous idea that dems are wimps and girlie men. Nothing could be further from the truth.

9. If you do confront him, walk up to him real slow & ask him if he'd like to
repeat to you whatever it was he said to your wife that made her cry.

It really does depend on what he said and how he said it. If he was simply gloating about the election, then that's one thing....maybe just scare the shit out of him and teach him a lesson. But if he said something personal to your wife, or if he was picking on her in particular, then that's totally a different subject and would take further consideration.

11. If your in VA, I got your back.
I am ready to drop some fundies. My wife works for them, she has been trying to find a new job ever since she started, it was her first job out of college. Unfortunately, her field is IT---so if she wants a new job we have to move to India. I told her today, fuck it, quit whenever you want. She has overheard her boss say shit like "All Liberals should have been drowned at birth". Fuck it, I'm over it, let the ass kicking begin!

17. Hidden tape recorder good than like do what one poster said...
walk slowly up to him with a slight slagger and a slight grin, carefully put your face close to his all the while making sure this will be heard on the recorder and ask him nicely why he felt it necessary to make your wife cry...

When he denies it, which he will I promise you, look him straight in the eye, and ask, still calm, "Are you calling my wife a liar?" and when he begins to stutter saying it was nothing more than a bit of kidding, which he will....

Then tell him slowly but firmly, smile lost, if you ever so much as look in my wife's direction, you will not only hear from me, but you will find yourself in a lawsuit that will quailify as sexual harressment and before you are through, once again smile slowly...

After all is said and done and your out on your collective ass looking for another job, I'll be waiting on the corner..

When you get home be sure to listen to the recording and be prepared to erase the last part...

You'll need it in court...you hit them where they hurt first, in the pocket book, the physcial pain can come later when no one is around to bear witness....

All you need is to step within 2 feet of him ...At 6'2" and 290, that should send the message with no violence.

Shake in your pants, stupid fundie!

18. Listen
Handle it the way that would make you feel most comfortable, but do like the mob does, wait until things have completley settled, when the guy doesn't expect it, then wham in the kisser.

Good Luck.

19. The 3 words that make any manager cringe are....
"Hostile Working Environment". That is code lingo for illegal harrassment at the work place, and a not very veiled way of saying, "I'm pretty pissed about this and might just call an attorney if you don't do something about your chimp-lover RIGHT THE FUCK NOW!" (ok, don't use the F word).

24. Good idea
Edited on Sat Nov-06-04 05:58 PM by Cyrix
Get jail time, a law suit, AND have your spouse lose her job.

Let's also not forget that since part of the motivation here is religion you'll probably get charged with a hate crime, which will probably see to it you're put away for quite some time.

Plus if you actually do kill him since you post here would probably be considered pre-mediated maybe your spouse can watch you fry in the chair? Wonder how much that will make her cry.

Glad to see the adults are around.

25. Go and bring your wife some coffee/candy/whatever.
Edited on Sat Nov-06-04 05:59 PM by tjdee
If you can go now, go now. Plus, since she's upset, I think she'll be happy to see you.

Greet your wife and get a look at this guy. Then be like, oh, YOU'RE the guy who's all fired up about the election--and then let him get a look at YOU.

I'm sure he'll back down on it, as men who like to make women cry are usually punks, especially if they're emulating King Punk Ass.

28. Be careful. The police are mostly Repubs
and will side with the guy if they are called there. You don't want to be arrested and charged with assault. They will haul you away pretty easily especially if you do anything where he works. If you do anything, make sure you do it in a dark alley.

Also, I would find out first if this guy was just doing what many folks do in offices: playfully taunt their fellow co-workers. I remember when Clinton won in 96, I did the same thing to Republican coworkers, even worse (made fun of Dole at the same time); it was all in fun.

However, if he really was taunting her and harassing her - see dark alley solution above.

34. A little friendly intimidating would work...
Just show up, introduce yourself to him and let him know you don't appreciate him taunting your wife.....be sure there are people around. Then tell him you think there was fraud involved in the election and ask him to help spread the word...
