Just got this disgusting mailer in my mailbox. So I called the Indy State Republican Party
and asked them why they sent that PIECE OF CRAP to my mailbox. A young man named "Tyler" answered the phone. Tylerpuke actually says:

"We didn't send out any crap. We don't go into the bathrooms and package up crap and send it in the mail." Oh so eighth grade funny my man Tyler is.

I told him that he may as well have because the piece of paper in my hand was only going to be used as toilet paper.

I then asked if there was anyone there at the office that would be willing to accept responsibility for sending out this bullshit. He said, "M'am, I don't think there is any reason to cuss." I told him that "shit" was just another form of "crap" and he didn't have any problem using that word. To which he replied, "I didn'....uh... well...".

So I asked him again if there was anyone in the office willing to take responsibility and explain why this disgusting piece of propaganda ended up in my mailbox. He replied "No there is no one to talk to, but it's only the facts". So, I asked him, "Well since you are so familiar with the "facts", can you tell me the names of the organizations that Obama and Ayers worked on together and also the names of the republicans that worked with those same organizations." Funny thing is, he couldn't spout out anything but the name Weather Underground.

So I told him that if he was the best foot forward they could put on the phone to defend their propagandist bullshit that I had two words for him that he should have no problem understanding. EPIC FAIL.

Then I hung up and ranted and raved around the house for 15 minutes and figured I'd best just come and vent it out here.

/rant off

Maybe I shouldn't have taken it out on him, but when his first reply was of the eighth grade "I know you are, but what am I" level, I just couldn't help it.

2. Those are the people to take it out on.
The ones that actively work to promote this shit.

Maybe when you calm down you can call him back and explain the lies? Or is he too far gone? Would be funny if we all called the offices and told the worker bees the truth and they all walked out. :rofl:

5. He's pretty far gone. He thought he was one funny guy until I asked a specific question.
To be honest I was tempted to drive down there and give the whole office a lecture. Broken foot and all, lol.

I'll have to wait until tomorrow to call them back. I already tried and the lines were busy for a while and are now going straight to their automated message.

4. Are you in Indiana? I saw an absolute HORRIBLE one someone showed me yesterday
after our canvass. It was insinuating/alluding to Barack as a baby killer with practically his own hands, and it said at the bottom "How well do you know Barack Obama?" IT was the lowest I've ever seen from a politician. I've always heard of these things being sent out but not around here because it's never been a contest in Indiana.

6. "Barack Obama. Not who you think he is."

That's what is plastered all over this one.

Yea, I'm in Indy and they are absolutely freaking out here because Obama is pulling away in the polls. Second piece of nasty mail I've gotten in as many days.

7. Yeah! That's what it said! One of co-canvasser's friends received
it and was freaking out, too! The friend has been also canvassing with us although she is not as political as we are. She didn't believe it or anything but she was just mortified to see it. I'm sure it had that effect on others, too. We're just not used to getting such things in the mail! I bet it turns off a lot of pro-choice Repubs as well.

8. Of course you should have.
Edited on Thu Oct-23-08 04:52 PM by mrbarber
If he want's to be involved in a campaign as dirty as the one McCain is running, than he deserves to be called out on it.

And if it ruins his day? Good. Maybe he'll sit back and really think about who he's throwing his lot in with.

Edit: Spelling.

10. If we all did this, maybe they'll get a clue.
Good on you, JTFrog.

11. Why not take it out on him? He sounds like an ass.
And what is it with all these right-wing borderline personality-disorder McCain supporters named Tyler?
