(9,214 posts)don't deserve it. I don't think someone wearing a shirt you don't like is reason enough. That person with the shirt may have gotten it from a friend and didn't even know what it signified. You were working only from an assumption.
You just said yourself that they didn't affect your enjoyment, so why did you feel the need to continue affecting theirs? Because you didn't like the way they looked at you? I can assure you if this liberal had been in that restaurant and you were too loud, I would have given you a dirty look.
Individuals earn or lose respect, not organizations. Many "baggers" are in the organization because of their stand on economics. It is billed as a political party. You know what a "bagger" is first and foremost? A person. Some, even many are racist, but you said yourself you thought at first the dirty look was because you were too loud.
Were there other people in the restaurant? Did you observe how they reacted to your boisterous party?
What does this being a Democratic site have to do with respecting people other than it is a principle Democrats should strive for. You were disrespectful of the other diners and you are now bragging about it. You said "baggers" are disrespectful people, you may have ruined peoples meals and cost the restaurant future business. Shame on you. Look in a mirror and ask yourself who acted like a "bagger" in that restaurant, because you said we are going to have a good time and we don't care who doesn't like it. Who was the disrespectful one in this case?
