Called The Kettle Black at Work
Edited on Tue Mar-10-09 08:17 PM by rsmith6621

Today the big screen at work was on CNN when they were reporting on the FREE CHOICE ACT when our department CONSERVATIVE THUG casually stood up and said.......I HATE UNIONS....THEY ARE CORRUPT.....AND THEY STEAL $30.00 a month from me and my family.


GUESS WHAT.....we are a Union SHOP!!!!!....(background) This guy does nothing but bitch about President Obama and his attempts to save America but when ask about how McCain/Palin would have fixed America he has nothing to say(end of background)


Anyhow I stood up and looked over the cubical's his way and said....You then should just quit because you will be the weak link in getting this department the wages and work conditions we deserve when the economy gets back on it's feet and anyhow why did you accept a job in a shop that was posted as a union shop.....5 minutes later he packed his back pack told the duty manager he was not feeling well and left....hopefully he wont be back....

1. Toe to Toe until they stand down
It seems that the Repugs can't connect simple things together. Oh well...I bet the rest of your day was rather pleasant after he left.

2. Awwwww......
Did you hurt the feelings of the poor little ill-informed rightwingnut? You big old kneejerk liberal eater of babies, you. How do you live with yourself?

heh heh heh

They can dish it out, can't they? But they really, really cannot take it.

Weenies, all of them.

Well done, friend!

:toast:

4. Can't take it at all, can they?
Anti-union GOP co-worker loves her 40 hour week and got pretty upset when she was expected to pull extra hours due to a crisis. We are NOT union. She just found out she doesn't get paid for any maternity leave beyond what she has sick leave for. She thought she would just get paid to stay home and be pregnant, but she HATES UNIONS because they rip employers off. :eyes:

Where do these idiots think ANY worker rights and benefits came from?

6. Go figure........
They see as far as the end of their noses, as my father would say. They are busy being angry and being anti-anything that might smack of "liberalism." But, if you were a union shop and she chose not to participate, she'd still enjoy the fruits of her fellow workers' beliefs and practices, wouldn't she? And she'd probably still bitch about unions, I'll bet.

I hope she enjoys her unpaid maternity leave.

heh heh heh

5. They THINK they don't have to answer for any of the insane crap they fling around
Sad, impotent bozos beating on their chests and trying to win (against reality) through intimidation. Too bad the idiots BELIEVED Rush when he kept telling them liberals were cowards. They just aren't coping with the fact that we fight at all. That we fight with FACTS really annoys them.

7. Obama taught a great lesson
He never apologized during the campaign. He never backed down, never got angry, never wasted a second of energy on being defensive or trying to explain his positions to those who were never going to listen.

He just stood and kept pounding out facts, and look what happened.

We're done bending over and being victimized by those who had the power. They stole it and they kept it and they abused it, they abused us, the abused our beloved Constitution, and they finally destroyed all the things that had made our country great.

Now, they've been shown to be the fakes and frauds that they are, that they know nothing, that they have no plans, no programs, no nothing.

Even the Wizard of Oz looks good in comparison.

Again - weenies, great big weenies, all of them. And they run like stuck pigs to their King Pig, Rush, when they get stuck.

Weenies..........................

9. I bet he'll be back ...
For about half of the Republicans I know, their political philosophy is rooted in their wallets. "I got mine, so screw you." Or, "I'm all right Jack; keep your hand off my stack." You get the idea. For that reason alone, I'd bet this one will return.

11. That is why tax increases are their number one issue!
It absolutely kills them to have to "donate" their hard earned money to the government.

14. Yeah, as if they get nothing in return for that "donation."
Selfish, short-sighted, brainwashed boobs.

(no offense to boobs, of which I am very fond).

10. Good for you!!
Way to stand up to that asshole.

If he hates the union so much, he needs to quit and go work at a non-union place.

I bet he wouldn't hate the union after a few weeks at the new place...

How can people be so ignorant?

15. A battle of wits against an unarmed opponent
arguing with neocons/conservatives. They either fold or yell louder when confronted with actual facts.
