My two bosses (R and D) just came very close to blows in the office

[Can o Beans]

R Boss: "Kerry cannot be trusted to lead the country, he was a traitor in and after Nam, he constantly lies about Bush's accomplishments."

D Boss: (cites about 33 things from FactCheck.org and DU almost verbatim, lingers for a while on the barrage of * lies about Iraq.)

R Boss: "Those are all lies! This is a load of f-ing bullshit. You are just worried that a real leader is taking this country forward. "

D B: "This was a war about OIL. Not moving the country forward. This war got poor Americans killed so rich ones could get richer."

RB - a woman - pulled her fist back and screamed at DB.

DB: "Do it, bitch. Do it."

1. That is NOT a healthy work environment ....

This is NOT a healthy country .....

How sad .....

[Midlodemocrat]

2. I wish she had hit him

...one less repuke to vote on Tuesday if she were in jail.

[AntiCoup2K4]

21. Hey, that's not a bad idea!

Provoke Freepers over the weekend, get their asses thrown in jail, and make sure they aren't arraigned until Wednesday morning :evilgrin:

Might want to vote early yourself though, just in case they take you in..

[DaveSZ]

3. Funny and sad at the same time

[politicaholic]

4. Uh...I hope you were updating your resume while this was going on.

[Lex]

10. LOL!

Good one, politicaholic.

[incapsulated]

11. LOL

I was going to post something but you said it all.

Jeezus, this election can't be over soon enough. :(

[bushwakker]

5. AWOL - a uniter not a divider

amazing how people who've never been close to wearing a uniform will call kerry a traitor. just fucking amazing.

[Liberal Veteran]

6. That would have been the time to point out how pleased you were...

...that Bush was a uniter, not a divider (with as much sarcasm as you could muster).

[Shoeempress]

7. As dedicated as I am to winning, your office needs a No Politics

Policy. You will not get any work done.

[samtob]

8. Unfortunate

I am firm on keeping politics out of the office, still have to work with these people after the election.

[gardenista]

9. Go Dem Boss!!!!!

Wow, I can't believe that!

[annabanana]

12. All I can think is..........this would be a lot more fun

to watch than to participate in. How well do they know your proclivities?

[theboss]

13. That sounds like a great place to work

Is that company public; because I want to short the stock.

[Worst Username Ever]

14. YES

Typical of a repug to threaten physical violence.

[Sannum]

15. This is toxic.

Has it ever been this bad? It wasn't in '92?

[Synnical]

16. Tuesday's going to be scary

BOCA RATON – The mayor's office on Thursday morning announced a Voter Intimidation Hotline has been set up to handle a growing number of election-related harassment complaints in the city.

<snip>

The incidents include the stoning of people waving political signs, windshield smashings, an assault at a Jewish temple during a rally and most recently the spray painting of a city police car that was parked in front of an officer's yard that had George Bush for President signs. The signs were painted black, too, Abrams said.

WEST BOYNTON -- When an 18-year-old couldn't convince his girlfriend that George W. Bush was the right choice for president, he became enraged, put a screwdriver to her throat and threatened to kill her, sheriff's officials said.

[guntherconcept]

17. Who do you work for?

James Carville and Mary Matlin? That scene sounds like what I've always imagined their family meals are like.

[Can o Beans]

19. Given the small size of my world...

let's just say I work as an educator. And that I have enough credibility not to worry about my resume needing updating.

It was amazing watching 2 people with PhD's get ready to throw down, though. I thought RB might get 'protractored.'

This was a very healthy environment, until the "taming of the shrub".

[steve2470]

39. LOL "throw down" that made me laugh nt

[DuaneBidoux]

55. Yea can you believe those two people ever have sex?

[Downtown Hound]

18. So, what happened after, "Do it bitch?"

[Can o Beans]

20. A sreaming storm-off followed by the instant evacuation of the premises by

all of the graduate students.

The worst thing of all - RB is not a freeper. This just illustrates how detached people become from reality in the absence of media that do their fucking job.

[Jack_Dawson]

22. Dude where do you WORK?

A construction site?

[Can o Beans]

23. would you believe I am a D-1 university faculty?

And RB/DB are professors?

[LSdemocrat]

27. What department?

[Can o Beans]

30. I'd love to tell ya but I better not go there...

there's only one big school in this town. Department would make it too specific for freeper public consumption. I remember some lady got canned earlier this year when the freepers figgered her out.

[Stuckinthebush]

38. A republican professor???

Is it the school of Business or Engineering?

[Can o Beans]

47. Uh

maybe?

[loudestchick]

34. I love your sig line!!

God kills a kitten...bwhaaaa!

[Jack_Dawson]

37. Thanks!

Let's save all the kittens we can...

:toast:

[vet_against_Bush]

24. God bless America! nt

[Anakin Skywalker]

25. My Ideal Work Environment.

Damn! Sounds like fun! I wish I worked at your place :)

[grace0418]

26. DAG! That's fucked up!

So what made her stop?

[Can o Beans]

28. She couldn't even speak

after it was all over. DB laid out the case that * is a complete disastrous liar, and since such a case is totally indefensible, she had no choice but to steam away.

[seraph]

29. Did you cheer? (nt)

[Can o Beans]

36. It was such pleasure to watch I almost had to go self-gratify in my office

If only the RWers knew what asses they are starting to look like in their cubicles across our great nation...

[Catherine Vincent]

31. LOL! This was at your office??

Good lord! Politics should not be discussed at the office (unless you're in your own little circle of friends). Too many extreme opinions.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

32. Yep nearly the same thing happened here

recently and I am in education, too. Let's just say I was in a training and the trainer, who lives in DC, and I suspected is a bush supporter said that no matter who gets elected, No Child Left Behind will not change at all and I couldn't let that lie hang there so I very nicely added that Kerry wants to actually FUND NCLB and bush "forgot" to fund it. A couple of other Kerry teachers piped up agreement and this other teacher got real nasty saying "He WON'T repeal the tax cut on the rich because TARAAAAAAAYZA loves her tax cut too much." Then she muttered "bitch" and I didn't know if she meant Teresa or me so....there were words. The verbal sparring got....erm, a bit loud and went on for a few more minutes before previously silent teachers urged everyone to pipe down and sit down (we all had stood up without realizing it).


Bet that trainer wishes she had NEVER brought it up.

Oh yeah bush is SO damn good for us, isn't he? Look at us.

[steve2470]

41. I have a friend who is a RW and *ie. OK, fine. Bygones be

bygones. But he had to go and insult my intelligence about my position. That was over the line. Kind of made me rethink that "friendship"

[Homerr]

33. Bring some cookies in tomorrow for your Dem boss!

[requiem99]

35. The Dem vs Rep argument is always the same: Facts vs Beliefs.

Give me facts any day.

[Algorem]

40. Breaking!Rumble in nunnery!....

[greekspeak]

42. "Damn you dem boss...can't you shut up your facts? I'm agonna punch you"

How can you be in the same room with the woman?

[sangh0]

43. I'm can't wait until the fighting breaks out amongst the employees of

a strip bar

[Can o Beans]

48. If that happens, the whole city of Champaign is going to shut down

but I will take pics and post them for you...

[steve2470]

50. ouch - read your email nt

[sangh0]

51. You are a truly generous person

We need more educators like you

[bobbyboucher]

57. Careful, you'll give yourself away.

What city?

[Robeson]

44. Man, I always miss the good stuff!

[RedEarth]

45. Yep, the repukes are getting nervous...lol....

Can o Beans...do ever post on a sports board?

[Can o Beans]

46. I used to...but the people from my home state are too stupid for reason

so I quit.

[RedEarth]

52. Perhaps I saw some of your posts....

I also quit posting on a combo sports & politics board.....the majority of the poster were the extreme right....I couldn't handle it.

[Can o Beans]

53. Boomer

?

[RedEarth]

54. Close...

Sooner.... I posted under a different name there.

[rniel]

49. good lord

are we heading down a path to a new civil war.

[evilqueen]

56. Thanks, I needed a laugh today. You provided it. :) n/t
