1. kick

:kick:

[billyoc]

2. Looks like rather brittle plastic.

[adigal]

3. Haha!! Jerk will have to pay for the 1-800 calls, too

I am going to call and let him know what I think of his racist sign.

[Cooley Hurd]

4. This thread is likely to get locked...

I agree, this should NOT be allowed to stand, but DU frowns upon phone harassment of private individuals.

[timber84]

6. it's a business

not calling his home. He should have thought about it before he ADVERTISED his ignorance. IMHO

[RoadRage]

5. I think i'd try to find his biggest competitor who is an Obama supporter..

and then mail this guy a letter letting him know you just sent his competitor $20, and Obama $20.

After he see's that about 1,000 times, he might take the fucking sign down.

[Aloha Spirit]

7. Busy signal... ha

9. well done n/t

[Nye Bevan]

10. Something tells me

that guy may need to upgrade his spam filter.

Those "online gaming" sites tend to send a lot of emails.

11. Is it still up? An op from yesterday that had over 100 replies....

included pics of several Obama protesters standing in the parking lot with signs accusing him of bigotry. Later down the thread, a poster said the sign had been taken down.

If it hasn't, then our work is not done. If it has, still call the toll free and there is also the owner's name and email addy on the sign in the above pic.

26. I think it is down. When I asked him if it was his sign, he said, "it was"

then he told me all he was asking was for people to 'check the guy out'. When I said I had, he said, "Well, he's no American". I told him I was confused, because he was born in Hawaii with the birth certificate to prove it and that John McCain was the one born in Panama. That's when he hung up on me the first time. The second time, all I got to say was, "What is your reasoning for stating that Obama isn't an American?" and he hung up on me again.

[Ioo]

12. Sent... I will call him later.

[achtung_circus]

13. WELL,

I just spent 10 minutes on the phone with the guy.

He had never heard of the Alaska Independence Party or the Keating 5.

He did agree that GWB is a total asshole.

All on his dime.

[timber84]

15. Haha

you actually talked to him?

[achtung_circus]

17. Oh yeah

and pretended to be American, too

[timber84]

18. Judging by his sign he does not seem to be a reasonable person

how did you find him to be?

[achtung_circus]

19. Primed to the eyeballs

full of one-sided talking points.

So I made sure that he caught the AIP and Keating references. Spelled out K-E-A-T-I-N-G.

[musicblind]

16. Wow! High Freakin Five! You guys rock so hard! n/t

[jhain]

14. "We took it down yesterday, Hon."

just talked to someone there.claims it is down now...
Tuesday- 9:27 am

[KingFlorez]

20. I'd like to see a sign somewhere that says: "Sarah Separatist, Not American, Not Welcome"

[formercia]

21. Got through.

gave his associate my thoughts. Not repeatable here.

[Courtesy Flush]

22. I called too

I asked him what his definition of an American was. He said an American can speak his mind without a bunch of libs telling him he's wrong. Then he hung up.

[Left Is Write]

28. Oops, but he's wrong.

"Speaking one's mind" comes with consequences. Sometimes that means others will challenge what you say, Jimmy. And if what you say is slanderous, you could even be charged with a crime.

[The Stranger]

23. Kick.

[renie408]

24. He's not real open to discussion. I just got hung up on twice. n/t

[DevonRex]

25. I talked to a very nice man there. Not the owner. I told him I didn't like it.

He said, "I know. That's his opinion, though."

I said it makes us all look bad (in my best southern accent).

He just sighed and said, "I know."

[renie408]

27. I didn't get him. I got mean guy. n/t

[DevonRex]

29. I'm glad I didn't get mean guy. I already have a headache and

I probably would have blown a gasket if the one I talked to had been a jerk. I was kinda spoiling for a fight anyway. But I got nice guy who just sighed a lot.

[nc4bo]

30. I was very nice and got hung up on ;) Now sending email. nt

33. A good talking point might be that this type of thing is inciting violence

The gassed children in a Mosque in Dayton Ohio....

A man shouting out 'Let's Kill Him' in reference to Obama at a McCain rally...

Tell them that this type of thing could be viewed as a means to incense violence against a Presidential candidate, and you wouldn't want them to get a call the SS.

[intheflow]

34. And someone posted that the sign has been taken down.

This company had protesters out front yesterday, and the guy's been getting plenty enough local anger, imo.

32. Kick
