So I am at the craft fair selling my jewelry I made today.............. [View all]

And lucky me I find out I am two spots away from the crazy coin selling teabagger guy who is yelling about the end of the world that is coming when the President is re-elected and just insane amounts of anti-government don't tread on me bullshit.

But next to me seemed ot be some perfectly nice ladies one of whom I know casually from town so we were chatting on and off a bit. I don't talk politics at all in town because its a very red town and-why bother.

So, all is going well until this very nice man who is running for State Rep comes around shaking hands and when he gets to these ladies they turn in to screaming maniacs before my eyes. This is honestly what they are saying

Obama is appointing the Taliban to positions within the government
Obamacare has 21 new taxes on people and there were other equally crazy things
but the real issue was their manor was absolutely vicious and they were screaming at this perfectly lovely gentleman who was very patiently trying to explain things to them JUST LOOK IT UP ON LINE- ITS ALL THERE ON LINE DONT TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT, ITS ALL ON LINE.

I had the worst urge to say "I know its true I read it on the internet" OMG!

So after he said finally he certainly WOULD look it up he came to me and i just shook my head and said "I have no words for that" And he just smiled at me and we talked for a moment about how these teabaggers are.
