My sister just said the Obamas will paint the White House BLACK!

[grasswire]

Gah!!!! Here's what even educated people are thinking; she's a retired librarian.

She said he's a Marxist because of his continued associations with Ayers.

She said she doesn't want Michelle Obama redecorating the WH.

She said he's an appeaser and wimpy.

She said Colin Powell is an Uncle Tom and an appeaser.

She said "Don't confuse me with the facts" when I argued with her and told her to stop watching FOX News.

She hung up.

This is why we never talk politics.

[sakabatou]

1. Smack her uside the head for me.

The stupid just hurts a lot...

[writes3000]

2. "Don't confuse me with facts." Sad. nt

[Arugula Latte]

22. She just coined Fox News' new slogan: "Don't Confuse Us With The Facts."

[enki23]

3. leaving aside the rest of the inanity... does she know what an "Uncle Tom" refers to?

.

[rucky]

7. hope a librarian would.

[ecstatic]

21. LOL. good question nt

[Laelth]

51. She has a point about Powell.

Especially when he was carrying water for the Bushes. His endorsement of Obama is the most un-Uncle-Tom-ish thing he's ever done.

The United States is a LIBERAL Country.

:dem:

-Laelth

[DeepBlueC]

4. must be some genetic mutation happening here

It's the only explanation.

[Catch22Dem]

5. Your sister is a fucking dumb ass.

I mean that in the nicest way, of course.

Has she see the tacky white trashiness that Pickles exudes? But she's ok with that stepford moron redecorating the white house? PLEASE!

Ask your sister to define what a Marxist is. That usually shuts their idiot mouths pretty fast.

[Cha]

10. I'm glad I have a

smart sister:)

[grasswire]

32. I told her that I saw Laura Bush's Lincoln Bedroom project...

...and I had NO fears about what Michelle would do. Ha!

[blaze]

6. She actually said

"Don't confuse me with that facts?"

Really?

[Blarch]

8. Take a bow.

[beachmom]

9. This is what happens when you only listen to partisan media.

It doesn't matter how much education you have if you insist on being propagandized.

[spanone]

11. that's sad but typical of ignorance

[doublethink]

19. You can say that again.

;)

[spanone]

dupe

[spanone]

du du dupe

[spanone]

12. that's sad but typical of ignorance

[LisaM]

Well she should have had a problem with the Bushes decorating the White House

Their taste is execrable, not to mention that the lawn is apparently dotted with T-Ball diamonds.

Although I don't know Michelle Obama's taste in furnishings, her taste in clothing is very simple and restrained, as is her husband's.

[spanone]

13. dupe

[EFerrari]

14. Ask her why Wall Street is supporting a Marxist!

lol

:rofl:

[grasswire]

40. I asked if she was ready to give up her Social Security.

She said sure, because we'll all be living on welfare in the Obama state. She said if she were black, she would get reparations under Obama. "That's coming, you know."

[EFerrari]

41. LOL! I'm sorry, grasswire.

That's sort of scary.

[LiberalFighter]

15. She said "Don't confuse me with the facts"? Must not had been a very good librarian.

Would had thought librarians had some interest in facts.

[BlueIdaho]

16. I'm sorry but this is willful ignorance. nm.

[Swamp Rat]

17. I don't care if the white house is painted purple and green as long as McPalin does not occupy it

EVER!

[billyoc]

18. How's the weather in the '50s?

Did she say? :rofl:

[jazzjunkysue]

20. I just can't wait for the first photo of Barack and Michelle and the girls in the oval office

behind "George's" desk.

I just can't wait.

[AzNick]

23. I say she's a racist and just forget it

I know people who voted for Hillary and will vote McCain because Obama is black.

What can I do against it?

Nothing, besides ignoring these people.

[expatriate]

24. In my experience, education is no guarantee of intelligence.

Sure, it takes some grey matter to get through college, but I've known plenty of people who knew a great deal about their field of expertise and were complete dullards when it came to anything else. If you work hard enough, short of being mentally incapacitated, most people can get through a four year degree, even advanced degrees. They might graduate 896th in a class of 899, but they are considered to be educated, even if they forget most of what they memorized after the exam.

Then there are those folks who just choose to be ignorant, bigoted and inflexible. There are plenty of highly intelligent bigots out there. Bigotry is always considered to be cheek and jowl with stupidity and ignorance, but it is not the case. Bigotry knows no race, no religion, no social class, no educational level. Highly educated people have made entire philosophies based on bigotry of one kind or another. Idiots couldn't have put together the highly efficient Final Solution of Nazi Germany.

[Sydnie]

25. So what if he did have it painted a different color? So what?

I'd like to see someone come in and paint it a whole bunch of colors. Have Peter Max come and paint it with peace signs and all the colors of the rainbow.

It's just a building. Doesn't matter what color it is!

[GoesTo11]

26. I say you shouldn't let politics divide family

but in this case I'll make an exception. How can you stand her?

[MrMickeysMom]

27. So....

I guess you're the pick of the litter, then.

:-) ... Makes you want to fast forward to another 5 years, after his second term and tag a current picture to go along with each of those statements, mail it back to her, and remind her that you're the pick of the litter.

HA!

[ddeclue]

28. The Rolling Stones - "Paint it Black"

:rofl:

[kestrel91316]

29. OMG. A day doesn't go by that I don't thank my lucky stars that

my sister AND my BIL AND my niece AND my nephew are ALL GOOD LIBERAL DEMS. It makes my center right BIL's dad, and my semi-fundie BIL's mom a lot easier to take at Christmas. We have the freaks way outnumbered and they don't say much about politics.

[Zgrrl]

30. I feel for you...there are idiots in my family too

One of my cousins is voting for McCain. He told me if I didn't like the U.S., why don't I just leave and go to another country? I found his remark highly ironic, considering he is a newly-minted American citizen himself. So I asked him why he hates our freedoms.

[progressiveforever]

31. Educated? She's very prejudiced.

[grasswire]

38. it started with me talking about my lunch at a Lebanese restaurant..

...my DELICIOUS lunch. "We'll all be eating Middle Eastern food soon" she said. Huh?? Huh??? "Well, aren't you afraid of what will happen if Obama is elected?"

She's sheltered out in the suburbs with little contact to the big world. She listens to Hannity and posts on Lucianne.com.

[PatSeg]

43. In this day and age, a person doesn't need much

outside contact. We have cable and the Internet. Anything anyone wants to know is usually at our fingertips. People tend to gravitate in the direction of their own choosing.

I'm saying this as someone who has "little contact to the big world" lately. It must be depressing hearing that from your own sister. Of course, I have a republican sister and I'm not sure what she's thinking these days, which is probably for the best.

[ScreamingMeemie]

33. Time for a new sister.

I'll be your sister.

[IsItJustMe]

34. Your sister is a right wing wack job. Run like hell.

[HughMoran]

35. You meant to say "your RACIST sister"

She's got issues beyond politics, sorry to say. :(

[KamaAina]

36. Oh, for Pete's sake.

Everyone knows they're only going to paint half of it black. :sarcasm:

[elizm]

37. Thank God racists are a dying breed. nt

[hvn_nbr_2]

39. The nutso gang said JFK would donate the country to the pope.

She actually said, "Don't confuse me with the facts."? Wow.

[PatSeg]

42. People are really scaring me lately

The things they say are just too bizarre.

Maybe its mass hypnosis.

[mtnsnake]

44. Is your sister's name Joe the Plumber?

[CLANG]

45. I don't want to insult your sister

so I'm just going to express my condolences.

[Ilsa]

46. She thinks the Obamas are going to be hanging african tribal masks in the Oval Office?

"So what" if they did. Bush put that stupid "optimistic" rug there.

[Blondiegrrl]

47. Send her this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dxl4lQ8tmdM

:evilgrin:

[Doremus]

48. Your sister is a racist.

Ignorance of this sort is difficult, if not impossible, to change.

Sorry.

[struggle4progress]

49. She's not reading enough. Give her a copy of The Sneetches and a subscription to Ebony.

For Christmas, give her a subscription to The Nation. For her birthday, follow up with a subscription to Monthly Review

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

50. She marry a Freep? I dunno, my mom was liberal and pretty much raised me

and my 3 brothers to be the same. One of my brothers is a long-term dater of a center/right lady who has definitely has influenced him towards the dark-side.
