From today's Chicago Tribune online:
Boo! Who? Supporting Obama? No treats for you

GROSSE POINTE FARMS, Mich. - A Grosse Pointe Farms woman has doled out political tricks by refusing Halloween treats to children whose parents support Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.
Shirley Nagel passed out candy Friday -- but only to those who shared her support for Republican presidential candidate John McCain and running mate Sarah Palin.
Fox 2 News says a sign posted outside Nagel's house, about 12 miles west of Detroit, served notice to all trick-or-treaters. It read: "No handouts for Obama supporters, liars, tricksters or kids of supporters."
Nagel tells WJBK-TV that "Obama's scary." When asked about children who'd been turned away empty-handed and crying, she said: "Oh well. Everybody has a choice."
Fax and phone messages were left Saturday at numbers listed in Nagel's name.
Thanks to Dr. Monkey, here's the video!
Great! Let's punish the children!!
ReplyDeleteIt is so McCain-ian anyway.
UGH.
Is there an accompanying article about a burning bag of poo found on Ms. Nagel's porch? Anything about toilet paper in her trees? Eggs smashed on her windows? There are risks to refusing the treat.
