Outside the Bush-Arnold rally in Ohio, Republicans railed at demonstrators
http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2004/10/30/haters/index.html

The throngs of Republicans were pumped after seeing the president and the action hero. But there was an angry edge to their elation. They shrieked at the dozen or so protesters standing on the concrete plaza outside the auditorium. "Kerry's a terrorist!" yelled a stocky kid in baggy jeans and braces. "Communists for Kerry! Go back to Russia," someone else screamed. Many of them took up the chant "Kerry sucks"; old women and teenage boys shouting with equal ferocity...

...Dave, a 54-year-old electronic technician, said that if Kerry wins, "I'm going to leave the country and go to a Third World nation and start a ranch." His wife, Jenny, laughed and accused him of hyperbole, but he insisted he's been studying Portuguese, the language of Brazil, "so we'll have an escape route." Sitting near him was Greg Swalley, a blond electrical contractor. "I think Kerry is the anti-Christ," he said, only half-joking. "He scares me."...

..."Jesus! Jesus!" screamed 26-year-old Joe Robles, pointing to his Bush-Cheney sign. "The man stands for God," he said of the president. "We want somebody who stands for Jesus. I always vote my Christian morals." Robles, a student at Ohio State University, told me that Kerry's daughter is a lesbian. I said I thought that was Dick Cheney's daughter, but he shook his head no with confidence.

Robles said that Kerry would make it illegal for preachers to say that marriage should only be between a man and a woman. In California, he informed me gravely, such preaching has been deemed a hate crime, and pastors who indulge in it are fined $25,000, which "goes to lesbians."



Wow!

This country is going to hell in a bucket with these braindead morans!

13. Brazil?
Nutzi there won't find much welcome for his ideology in South America. Most countries down there are run by democratically-elected leftists. I don't know where they're going to go -- the U.S. currently has one of the most right-wing regimes in the world. Maybe the Shrub family will find space for all these folks on the pig ranch in Crawford, since it's not actually being used to produce anything for consumption other than the hot air that comes out of the Naked Emperor's mouth.

2. If there is any way we can help
facilitate their departure, we should by all means. Good riddance!

18. I hope Kerry wins...
... just so he'll have the opportunity to learn a bit about the rest of the world.

I hope he does go to Brazil. He'll discover that the majority of the country is more to the left than the people he hates here, that he'll probably run into more licentious good times than he could ever imagine seeing on librul network television in the US.

And, lord, if he's one of those wingers who think that the white man is superior to "minorities," he's going to be in for a real shock there (maybe he has the same education as George Bush -- "do you have blacks here, too?"). Oh, what I wouldn't give to see that guy's face on his first day in Brazil. :P

23. If the chimp "wins" he won't have to leave to live in a
third world country. He can stay right here and start his ranch. The idiot!

11. Reminds me of a joke I saw over at FR
with one change, here it is:

A man enters the bar, orders a drink. The robot serves him a perfectly prepared cocktail, then asks him, "What's your IQ?" The man replies, "150." And the robot proceeds to make conversation about Quantum physics, string theory, atomic chemistry, etc. The customer is very impressed and thinks, "This is really cool." He decides to test the robot. He walks out of the bar, turns around, and comes back in for another drink. Again, the robot serves him the drink and asks him, "What's your IQ?" The man responds, "100." And immediately the robot starts talking, but this time, about football, baseball, cheerleaders, NASCAR, etc. Really impressed, the man leaves the bar and decides to give the robot one more test. He goes back in, the robot serves him and asks, "What's your IQ?" The man replies, "50." And the robot says, > > > > > > "So, you gonna vote for Bush? "

I wasn't going to post it until I saw this thread. The GOP has no shame in misleading this guy.

20. "I believe marriage is between a man and a woman." - John Kerry
But see, they'll just say that Kerry wanted to give $25,000 to the goes-to-lesbians fund anyways, so that's why he said that during the debates.
