and tells me that mom yelled "Losers!" at a handful of republiclowns.
Seems they were in front of the post office holding a large Obama-as-Hitler banner.
He was a bit shocked, but quite pleased at this unexpected outburst. He's been asking lots of questions about the RW protesters re: killing granny, socialism, etc. and has really been honing his critical thinking skills. Proud pops!

2. Beats me, she said they all looked to be in their late 60's.
This plus the banner leads me to beleive that they're ignorant, racist swine.
They're likely the "I've got mine, so screw you" types.
This was in Algonquin, Illinois.

7. On the contrary, we used to stand on the steps of the PO bcs it was the only federal bldg in town...
We used the site when protesting the invasion of Iraq knowing full well it was federal. Later a branch of the Bankruptcy Court was added to our city, but the sidewalk there was too narrow to use very often.

8. Not talking about Dems
talking about the Republicans....If they are so against Government run entities why would they pick the Post Office? Just sayin....I don't think they know...(I don't know how they couldn't know)...I could go in circles with this for hours because it makes no sense to me.

I have faith in fellow Democratic members that they know that the Post office is run by the Government.

5. I was going to use the term "pigfuckers", but thought that was over the top in a HST kind of way.
