how did i even get a racist troll in the first place? i update like once a month! craziness, i say.
thankfully (?) canvassing had me talking to much crazier racists face to face at their own homes, so i am experienced with the wankery. this was pretty weak, to be honest.
Posting hate speech behind an anonymous address only kills your arguments. If you want to talk about politics, do so with your face. This is a democracy. We talk.
i was remembering when i tried to bring reason into a wanky argument with a troll on who_anon and then suddenly thought, "WTF? why did i just do that? *facepalm*"
now you can be on plushy pillows of comfort and niceness! the country has just rounded a corner, taken a step forward, and some other appropriate metaphor. hurrah!
I've been doing cold calls for Obama for a month now. You'd think by now I'd known that there is NO WAY for me to reason with these people. I mean really. I had a lady tell me that the polls had closed and she voted for the white dude already.
i was campaigning door to door for the past month and a half and talked to some hilariously racist folks. i had a guy who, when asked who he might be voting for, answer, "the AMERICAN!!!!" and then go onto a long, rambling racist screed about how obama was really a foreign muslim who studied with terrorists in sudan. "if he's really american why won't he show us his birth certificate?! i just saw it all on the CBS news!" okay!
