GROSSE POINTE FARMS, Mich.—A suburban Detroit woman has decided to scare up the vote among neighborhood children by just offering treats to John McCain supporters.

Shirley Nagel of Grosse Pointe Farms, Mich., handed out candy Friday only to those who shared her support for the Republican presidential candidate and his running mate Sarah Palin. Others were turned away empty-handed.

TV station WJBK says a sign outside Nagel's house warned: "No handouts for Obama supporters, liars, tricksters or kids of supporters."

Nagel calls Democrat Barack Obama "scary." When asked about children who were turned away empty-handed and crying, she said: "Oh well. Everybody has a choice." Fax and phone messages left at numbers for Nagel were not returned.

3. The kids got to see a real witch

Personally I am against kids getting involved in politics because of stuff like this. It brings out the mean in people like nothing else. Leave the kids out of it.

I love Bubbles too =)

4. Twit needs a serious egging.

Especially for bringing partisan politics into a non-partisan holiday centered around children.

Nasty beast she is.

5. Jesus loves people who punish children for the voting choices of their parents

I'm sure heaven has a special place reserved for her.

8. I read on DU during the weekend

that there were Obama supporters who wouldn't go to houses with McCain yard signs. Guess the children on both sides were caught up in the adult politics.

My apologies 'mom.

19. That's ok.

I am just learning about how to use this board, and didn't think - and don't know how- about posting a link. I just think all you guys are more up to speed than me and read all the entries!!!! I'm also having trouble keeping signed in on my computer. Guess I'll learn over time.

20. you'll do fine :)

I, and the rest, are just on edge...
we have had a string of trolls from FreeRepublic, the ultra reich wing boards...
and I guess I jumped on you, I'm sorry.

13. Don't get me started on Grossee Pointee

It ain't purty

[gollygee]

14. So how did she know whose parents were voting for Obama?

Did she ask the kids as they came up? Or did she assume based on something?

15. Grosse Pointe Farms is wealthy and snobby

A lot of CEOS and auto execs live there. Plus they don't like outsiders (code for black kids)coming from Detroit to trick or treat. I bet that's why she put her sign up

16. TP her yard!!!!

Gawd, it's been forever since I "rolled" a yard!!

:rofl:
