Bile flowing freely in my office today

[apnu]

I'm thrilled and excited, over the moon today. Its as if a breath of fresh air has entered my life after last night. My faith is restored in America, and I no longer feel compelled to apologize to everybody for the last 8 years.

But the these feelings are juxtaposed with the demoralized bellyaching and open racism flowing freely in my Republican dominated office today.

He's is how the sore losers are coping today:

"His first executive order will be to call the White House the Black House"

"Air Force One now officially called the Soul Plane."

"The Black man is taking all our money now."

"The economic collapse is because of the mortgages to the poor. And now Obama is making me pay for it."

[skooooo]

1. You should play them this video...

[yeswecanandwedid]

2. That's pretty sad. I'm sorry you work with those types of people. Keep your head up.

[apnu]

8. I'm fine, my head's up.

Its only a job, not my life. I am, however pretty shocked to see the unlocked racism tho.

[chelsea0011]

3. I put on RW radio this AM for a laugh and the first caller I heard

was that since we are now a communist nation do we have to address everyone as comrade? That's all I could take and shut it off.

[bunkerbuster1]

6. See, I was lucky. My first AM talk radio experience this morning...

well, it was Bill Bennett, who is usually a class-A douchebag. But he said some very gracious, positive things, like that he was praying for Obama and that he hoped Obama would answer to his centrist leanings rather than his leftist leanings.

I really can't complain about that.

[GreenPartyVoter]

33. I am praying the opposite, but yeah, that wasn't such a bad thign to say.

[texpatriot2004]

4. Such hatred and vitriol. I suppose they consider themselves to

be "Christians" too eh?

Maybe they should remember Thumper, "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all."

Good luck and don't let them bring you down.

[Wednesdays]

5. "...And now Obama is making me pay for it."

Number one, Obama isn't even in office yet.

Number two, how many times does he have to repeat, he's not raising taxes on anyone making over $250k per year??

(Unless those people are making over $250k per year, in which case: :nopity:)

[apnu]

15. Well they're commodities brokers they make well over $250K/year.

But yeah, they're all acting like Obama is the sitting President now. They've been talking this way for some weeks now. Total lack of understanding of how our Presidential process works.

[uponit7771]

7. Do you have any blacks in your office? If so if they over hear this crap let them know it doesn't...

...mean the company supports it or the country supports the people who say these things.

I've been there...

[bunkerbuster1]

11. Seriously, there's going to be a living, breathing EEOC under Obama...

and these racists are going to have to turn the overtly hostile office chatter down a notch pretty soon if they don't want their asses sued.

[AspenRose]

31. YES

And not a moment too soon

[SoonerPride]

9. Just smile at them and tell them America disagrees with them.

They and they're losing mentality of divisveness are losing sway and they can feel sad and bitter and hateful or they can act like grownups, roll up their sleevesand work with us to fix the problems we face.

Or they can wallow in their own shit.

The choice is theirs.

You choose to move on and work for progress.

[smoogatz]

10. What a bunch of racist assholes.

If Bush hadn't flushed the economy down the crapper, I'd say quit and find a job at a more enlightened company. Sheesh.

[apnu]

17. Yeah, that's beginning to look more attractive to me. (nt)

[Patsy Stone]

12. Assure them that this was the plan all along

and you, for one, welcome our new Socialist overlords.

[Renew Deal]

13. All you need to say is: "Support our president"

:D

[GreenPartyVoter]

34. Heheheheh

[Ganja Ninja]

14. Fucking lard ass in my office was fretting over the name Obama

and wondering out loud if he was going to be sworn in on the Bible or the Koran.

8 years of Bush/Cheney & cronies looting the treasury and this idiot is "concerned" about this stupid shit.
:banghead:

[gkhouston]

19. Tell him that neither. It's going to be an Aztec ceremony -- would he like to donate a heart?

:evilgrin:

[renate]

28. bwahahaha! good one! n/t

:rofl:

[Ganja Ninja]

29. I hope he grows a huge afro and swears in with one hand on the Koran

and the other raised in a clenched fist black power salute.

[redwitch]

43. He doesn't have one.

:-)

[gkhouston]

47. Whoa, I didn't know that Cheney had been steppin' out on the missus. n/t

[CrispyQ]

16. This is just the beginning.

But we all expected it, didn't we? The next four years, they are going to blame everything from the last 30 years on Obama. :eyes:

They are poor winners & even more poor losers.

[apnu]

21. Yes its expected, still annoying to hear tho. (nt)

[codjh9]

18. Don't pay attention to them. The MAJORITY has SPOKEN! Don't let 'em ruin your day. YOU

were in the right! F--- 'em all!

[Ozma]

20. GET a new job... ASAP! Those idiots don't deserve your talents and

skills and compassion!

They are not worthy of you!

[genna]

22. Fighting words. Sounds like the kind of provocation that will make me go off

Bush has no responsibility for this economy? How about McCain voting for this humdinger. Now it is all Obama's fault in the most stark racial terms?


Where is the shame?

[kenny blankenship]

23. Ugh.

It's no reflection on you but it seems you're surrounded with a bunch of racist assholes. All they all 5 years old? They sound like it.

[susanwy]

24. "Air Force One now officially called the Soul Plane."

I actually think that is funny, Air Force One is kinda stuffy! I can see some good Motown and R&B blasting in the speakers of AF1 and dancing in the isles!

:rofl: :rofl:

As for the rest, F 'em, they will wallow for a while and then they will either recognize the issues facing this country or stick their stupid heads in the sands of hate.

[mgc1961]

32. How 'bout a little...

...Gap Band?

Tinted windows, lowered suspension, and spinners. Then hit 'em with this:

[mgc1961]

John Kerry played...

...Love Train when he stopped in Nashville in 2004.

A great tune!

[sandnsea]

25. That's called racism and I beg you to tell them

It ends now.

[Fla Dem]

26. Here's what I got...So did they break out the Colt 45's? I had no

idea what that meant. I thought he were referring to guns. I was then informed that it is the favorite brew among blacks. I told him that was a totally uncalled for comment and was disappointed to see his racism surface. His response...hey thats not racism, it's a fact and I was making a joke. I said it was a bad joke and walked away from him. This from a man who in the office preaches Jesus' love and mentors a little black boy.

[Teaser]

27. sounds like they need a cockpunch

.

[4_Legs_Good]

30. I'm just going to laugh this stuff off

and I'm not going to gloat.

As far as I'm concerned, we NEED to come together to fix this mess George Jr. is leaving us. I'm not making any more enemies and I'm personally going to try to mend all the fences I can.

I know they've been shits, I know I disagree on a fundamental level, but I'm going to try to move passed it and work to build a better nation and world.

[JimWis]

35. Just hang in there. They are a minority. I have been watching

various news networks all morning and everyone seems excited and renewed.

[hamsterjill]

36. "William Ayers will be director of National Security"

That's the comment that I heard this morning.

Me? I just smiled... In fact, I've been smiling all day!

[zulchzulu]

[ratherunique]

39. old ladies at my job still hung up over muslim accusations

one of them said that she couldn't believe america let a muslim be president

[AuntPatsy]

40. My husband attempted that same rhetoric, I calmly said to him, your better than

that and you know it...eight years of bush and watching faux news honestly did him some damage like you would not believe..but he stopped and grew silent for the first time in days...and on to other news...its a start...honestly, he never used to say such ugly things...

I not only got my country back, I think I got my husband back as well, the one I married, he is on the road to recovery I can tell just from his abrupt silence....thank God...thank you everyone.

[reflection]

41. My wife is acting this way as well.

She is absolutely livid that McCain/Palin were rejected. And she is none too happy with me. But I love her and I know she loves me. We'll work it out.

[AuntPatsy]

42. Exactly how I feel, I have hope...he is none too happy with me either

but his abrupt silence was proof to me that we will definately work things out.

[VolcanoJen]

45. Exactly.

:hug: AuntPatsy :hug:

Just remember, you guys... we are better than this. Just smile. We're not like those assholes. And thankfully, in our beloved country, there are more of us than them.

I even took down my Obama signs this morning. (Only after I noticed the neighbors had removed their McCain signs, mind you ;-) ) No sense in gloating... but, I will add, the bumpersticker is staying on!!!

[AuntPatsy]

46. We are better than that as is President Obama, its why he won, its why we will

continue to win, regardless of the hate filled straglers who will refuse to give up that hate for whatever reason, they are not the majority any longer, last night, America's majority spoke up...and the majority voted for no more of the same...the only problme they face on the far right is finding a way to lose the hate that lives inside them...

[ratherunique]

44. my racist co-workers are passing around racist joke emails

about obama. and obviously leaving me out of CC

[rdublue]

48. Actually, 'Soul Plane' is kind of catchy

[Bake]

49. Just wait until you get the "Hallmark Christmas Ornament" email.

That one's floating around here. Extremely vile. I won't quote it, but the "punch" line is something about everybody being able to hang a n****r from the tree ...
