27. Remember the Halloween right before the '08 election?
Thu Feb 23, 2012, 12:22 PM
Feb 2012

Some woman in upstate (I think) New York asked Trick or Treaters who their parents were voting for. If they said "Obama" she refused to give them candy. Some of the kids left her door in tears. She was a teacher, for Christ's sake!

When the media showed on her lawn, she doubled down, called Obama a liar and verbally attacking the kid's parents. No remorse.
