Vote
With Halloween so close to Election Day, how could I not expect to see such a poster in NYC? So, running it a few days late, it serves my purpose on Election Day. If you haven’t already, Happy Voting. It’s worth the wait.

Not to infringe upon your constitutional right to a secret ballot, but… who did you vote for?

Stoopid Question.

Haha–wow, nice poster! In a manner of speaking.
Hope all voted! First time ever at my little elementary-school-polling-place where I stood in a long line to cast mine–and we’re in a state that’s always ignored as factoring in by the media(not counting propositions). Very exciting and nervewracking.

The school I went and voted at had more voters than ever before I was told. I just hope it was young people and not racists.
Go Obama!!!

A small handful of old people aren’t racist. Some of them are even from the South.

Hey, my 90 year old grandma voted for Obama, so you don’t have to tell me that.

Out here in California we usually watch the rest of the nation go crazy until it gets to us. But I drove across LA today, and I was impressed seeing at every major intersection bunches of people waving political signs and cheering to passing traffic.
Like the old saying goes, Democracy is not a gift, but a responsibility. It’s good to see so many people getting excited and involved.

And some older racists may even preside over churches in Chicago.

There are racists in all professions. Believe it or not, I’ve even met a few working in animation.

Imagine if you will the OUTRAGE, if the above poster had the Messiah’s face (obama) in there instead of Sarah Palin. The left is so filled with mean spiritness, an Obama presidency truly scares me .

Perhaps you weren’t paying attention to the rallies of the “Right” when Sarah Palin declared Obama for “Pallin’ around with terrorists.” Or perhaps you didn’t hear the opening of the Bernard McGuirk radio show at 1Am (less than 30 mins after Obama gave a speech besseching those who didn’t support him to give him a chance) wherein the first 10 mins were speech clips of Rev. Wright – uninterrupted. I also know that Rush Limbaugh and Hannity don’t spew “mean spiritness.”
By the way, John Gross & Hank Irving, you seem to have enough aliases. Just call yourself “anonymous” if you want to go the cowardly way.

The difference is that Reverend Wright is REAL. William Ayers is REAL. Even if you don’t like it Michale, these are REAL PEOPLE whom Obama had close relationships with.
Whereas Sarah Palin is not a vampire. Do you see the difference? One source is citing actual facts and a poster like your is nothing more than an overt insult. Thats why you are getting flack. So get off your high horse and come back to reality.
I also like how you deleted my post where I stated that I sincerely hope that the political hated will subside now that the election is over. Its telling that I made an effort to be gracious and you deleted it.
Throw stones at posts you don’t agree with all you want, but that sir strikes me as a consummately cowardly act.

I deleted NO posts of yours, DanO. There’s only one person whose comments I have eliminated, and I told that person in advance that I would no longer post his comments. If you think any comment of yours didn’t make it, it had nothing to do with me. Sorry.

I’m working really hard right now, but I quite sure that yesterday I left a single sentence post after the Hank Gross one which read:
“Heres to hoping the mean spiritedness dissipates now that the election is over.”
Whatever happened to the post, there’s my honest sentiment. Sorry for the confusion.

Hey DanO
Thanks for sticking up for me. You responded with exactly what I was going to reply. Michael answer DanO’s question: “The difference is that Reverend Wright is REAL. William Ayers is REAL. Even if you don’t like it Michael, these are REAL PEOPLE whom Obama had close relationships with.
Whereas Sarah Palin is not a vampire. Do you see the difference?

Unfortunately, I’m not sure you are a real person, Hank Gross, so my response to an “anonymous” person would be futile. You also act like I should be arguing with you. There’s no point. Sarah Palin is gone, and she’ll probably stay gone. Your party lost, and I have no reason to want to fight you on my blog.
By the way, Sarah Palin isn’t supposed to be a vampire, werewolf or zombie in the poster. She’s supposed to be spewing the vile and ignorant vitriol that came out of her mouth for the last three weeks of the campaign.
