McCain phone banker gets WAY racist!

TPM

Interesting anecdote and probably a testament to ground organization. I have no idea what this means. Friday night (which happens to be the start of our Sabbath) my wife answered the phone to here a man stating he was from the McCain-Pailin campaign. He asked who she was supporting. She replied that we will vote for Obama. He replied with "but he's a f-----g n---er!". Before I get to my wife's response I'll first have to say that I understand desperation and I also understand that this pitch may actually work for a few people. I also understand that there are people who are whack-jobs phone-banking for both sides. But here are some facts:
My wife and I are Black. Citing the fact that Obama is a f----g n---er as a way to sway our vote may not be a great idea. My wife and I live in Maryland... Baltimore, MD.... One of the most African American areas of Baltimore Maryland. How on earth did our phone numbers get on to a McCain volunteers phone bank list of potential voters to be calling at this stage in the game? We have never received a call from the Obama campaign.

Just weird. Not sure what to make of it... but that's not a good sign of organization. If it did anything it made us want to donate more. BTW, the rest of the call went downhill from there. My wife prayed for forgiveness after the call.

I am a critical listener, but I would put nothing past the mccain campaign and their delegates. Also I would put nothing past the racist pigs that do not want Barack to be president and that includes the pumas that now work for the mccain campaign.

I hate racist and have been told by my 'racism' professor that my strongest prejudice is against any racist and any group that spouts racist language. That includes members of all ethnic groups that do so.

If so, that point I can see.

Surely you must realize that whatever thread is two posts down from wherever you're talking about when you posted might be three posts down or up or three pages down or up by the time that I read it.

:rofl:

Sorry you all had to be exposed to this shithead.

Black Israeli's???

Don't care for your tone. eom

I believe I learned somewhere in my religious indoctrination that Christians changed the sabbath from its original Saturday to Sunday to coincide with the day Jesus rose from the dead. Of course that may be a load of horsecrap, I don't know, I'm an agnostic.

I heard that during the last election, there were GOP'ers who dressed up as fake "gay pride" stereotypes and hung around near polling places yelling at people to vote for Kerry so they could adopt children. This phone call sounds kind of similar in that it would seem more effective at energizing anti-McCain sentiment, rather than anti-Obama.

Probably some high school kids.

Kidding, but you never know...

:D

I know that, and I'm from Naptown (Annapolis).

I don't know why they bother in MD anyway...we are a blue state and that's that! It's just sad when people do ignorant things like that...

:wow: :nuke:

That's worse that weird. There's no excuse for that on any day of the week, let alone on Sabbath, no matter whose. There is no time or place, period, for hate-speech.

As a gay man, I understand something about what it feels like to be made out to be something less than human, something less than worthy. That's a feeling I would rather than no person on earth should ever have to endure anywhere, especially not in the sanctity of their own homes. I'd seriously want to wash first to get the stink of that call off, then think about donating. I admire their graciousness. Unfortunately, I'm enough of a hillbilly that I'd have to give that yayhoo a bit of an "education" first for using such language on a phone I'm paying for ("bash Mr ____ head first, think about Heaven later").

I'm working on it. G'd knows that I mean well, even if I don't always do well :)

:hug:

Well, there's no fixing stupid.
