I just had a blow-up with the freaky fundie lady at work.....
Edited on Fri Oct-24-08 02:06 PM by marmar
I, and most of my coworkers, generally just avoid this woman, who's an extra-crispy bucket of crazy. She prowls the right-wing sites on the Internet all day, and listens to Rush on her headphones.
The election polling of late has been putting her in an increasingly foul mood, and the revelation of the faux attack on that campaign worker in Pittsburgh has really ruined her day today.
Anyway, I was talking to a colleague a few minutes ago about what a phony Sarah Palin (who the fundie lady thinks is the best thing since Ju-heezus himself) is, and how much damage she's done to McCain's already sad campaign.
That was too much for Fundie lady, who butted into the conversation and yelped, "You sound just like Michael Moore or MoveOn.org."
I responded, "You know, you're confused enough to think that is actually an insult."
She slinked back into her cubicle. I got high fives.
I suspect she may be calling in sick on election day.

6. I'd think she'd call in sick the day AFTER election day
until the vote counts come in, people like her still think McCain can win.

Congrats on your fundie smackdown.

8. Ouch, that's going to leave a mark
Too bad it probably won't result in any increase in intelligence for your co-worker.

10. Just wait.
She'll show up at work with a backwards "R" (for maRmar) carved into her face and claim you assaulted her because you hate Jesus.

17. I'm stealing that "extra crispy bucket of crazy" line.
It just went into my novel, due out in May. I'm putting "marmar" into the acknowledgments, if that's okay.

19. I'd need a calculator to work out your percentage--
let's see, five words out of 76,888 is how much, exactly?

12. just make sure that, if she does show up on Guy Fawkes Day,
that you have the bomb squad on speed-dial ... especially if the weather's nice and she's wearing a large coat ...

16. Excellent!
Your comeback hit her right where we need to be hitting. We need to stop allowing the right-wingers to define and demonize OUR beliefs be they liberal, progressive or whatever.

Despite crazy right-wing lady, it sounds like you work with some cool people!

24. How deluded do you have to be to think sounding like Michael Moore is an insult?
You mean I sound sane and honest? You mean I love my country so much that I spend my time and money and subject myself to open hostility to stand up for the American people?

Why, thank you!

The United States is a LIBERAL Country.

25. This is going to get worse before it gets better. They're fallin' and they're pissed.
Alot of these people have associated with the GOP simply because they usually are the winners.

They got stung when Cliinton was popular, but were assuaged by the Lewinsky crucifiction.

Then, they all got drunk on GOP power hoarding.

Now, alot of them have lost their investments, their retirements, some their jobs, and mostly, their favorite identification: "WInner."

Now, they're not only losers, but the economic collapse is making them sinister predators, and associates to a crime.

They're not even getting started with their anger, yet.

Alot of them really don't believe they can lose.

There's gonna be alot of ugly out there in a week. THe fake attack is just a taste of what's to come.
