How many of you have republican relatives that have gone batshit crazy since Obama won?

[Elwood P Dowd]

My 67-year-old sister says Obama is gonna' come get our guns, money, property, and anything else of value so he can give it to the terrorists, communists, and unemployed deadbeats, along with the illegal immigrants and homeless people who elected him. We are all doomed. Brave patriots such as Rush, Palin, and the Fox News crew are our only hope to get the word out before it's too late.



:crazy:

[Sebass1271]

1. oh GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ha ha ha ha!..

what is she smoking? rush rush all day??

[llmart]

2. Yeah, and he's going to.....

swear his oath on the Koran, etc. etc. etc. It's truly hard to deal with these people. I find ignoring them is the best. I know she's your sister and all, but I would change the subject whenever she starts up.

[Mnemosyne]

3. And, "He wants to kill all them little babies!"

Idiots I don't associate with anymore. :puke:

I just cannot tolerate willful ignorance.

[av8rdave]

4. I have some friends like that

Just the title "President Obama" sends them into a rage.

[peace13]

5. Since November, relations with my mother and sister have come to a halt.

I can no longer deal with their ignorant selfish beings. It is sad to know that I am related to people who are part of the problem and not working with the President to solve this nation's problems. They spit the word Liberal and cling to their bank accounts as a child would a blanket. They have let *'s fear mongering eat out their hearts. I have had more than my share. I feel your pain. Peace, Kim

[treestar]

6. Yep. It will be interesting say this time next year when none of this

has happened, what will these repukes say?

[tekisui]

7. I have found the opposite.

My grandfather said, during the primaries, "If Obama is elected, hide your guns and all your money will be taken for taxes." Since his inauguration my grandfather has said he is impressed and thinks he is making good decisions.

A conservative client of mine saw my stickers and asked me if I was happy with our new president. I said "oh yeah." He surprised me. He said, "Regardless of what you thought of him as a candidate, he is our president now, and I don't want him to fail. If he fails, I fail. We are America, we have nothing to be afraid of. I think he wants to do good. He has his hands full, but seems to be approaching it right"

[begin_within]

8. Mine are strangely quiet about it

[spanone]

9. my rwinger bro in law has been surprisingly quiet

[conscious evolution]

47. Same here

Not a peep out of him.

[Love Bug]

10. Does your sister have a nice TV?

Tell her this "unemployed deadbeat" could use a new one.

:sarcasm:

[seabeyond]

11. my repug father voted obama. i am so proud. n/t

[NNN0LHI]

12. My extremely racist Catholic aunt recently stole a quarter million dollars from my two cousins

She didn't bat an eye while doing it and says it was gods will.

And she is already a millionaire many times over.

Sick world we live in.

Don

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

52. Have her thrown in prison.

[RagAss]

54. Tell her it's God's will that you're calling the authorities !

[Natalya Slosky]

13. my brother.

He is a "conservative libertarian"(his words). He voted a straight GOPuke ticket in November and wrote in Ron Paul's name for President. After the election he bought a sweatshirt with the phrase: "01-20-09 The Obama Error Begins", to counteract my "End of an Error" shirt. I try to avoid discussing politics with him; it just gets too heated.

[musette_sf]

24. my libertarian husband said

"after we take the Impeach Bush sign out of the front window on Inauguration Day, i want to put up an Impeach Obama sign."

:crazy:

and yes, he's another Ron Paul writer-inner.

:eyes:

[tularetom]

14. Oh yeah. My 85 y.o. uncle

I'm sorry I showed him how to send e-mail because I got one a day like this all the way from Jan 1 to last weekend when I finally told him to take me off his list and not send me any more of these bullshit whiney rants. Now he's put my wife on the list instead of me and she's way to polite to tell him to go fuck himself. He's enjoyed a comfortable life as a government contractor but now misses no opportunity to trash the government in the most vile terms imaginable. Thank god he lives in Tennessee so we don't have to put up with his crap at holiday dinners. Claims he's a "libertarian" and hates all politician but funny thing we never got this kind of response from him bitching about the president for the entire 8 years of the * clusterfuck.

[peace13]

38. Show your wife the ignore button.

I have never used it until this week but I am tired of reading the rants of the insane and not responding out of polite and civil futility. Peace, Kim

[rurallib]

15. Mine have just shut up thank Goddess

no more trying to pick fights with me. And I just glare at them, but say nothing.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

16. YES! I knew they were a really screwed up people, but this has driven them all over the edge

I've lost "friendships" with Republicans. Now I've never been close friends with any Repugs (ergo the quotes), but since Obama won, the Repugs I talked with hate me because I worked tirelessly on his campaign. They cannot forgive me.

A couple sent some disgusting jokes. One sent a joke about a gorilla in the White House and I told her she was an imbecile.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

17. These numbskulls

are experiencing NOTHING like we did in 2000 and 2004. So there's that.

[beltanefauve]

28. Obama won

with a margin too big for the election to be stolen, unlike 2000 and 2004. Big difference.

[Atman]

18. It's all a matter of perspective. When THEY were in power...

...we all displayed equal hysterics, running around circles about BushCo shredding the constitution, building secret prisons to lock up decenters, stacking the courts and the administration with right-wing ideologs.

Oh, wait...so those things actually happened?

So is it any wonder that they project upon us their own fears? They know how badly their "leaders" can act. Now that they no longer have any power, all they have to do is fear. Nothing to fear but fear itself? SIGN 'EM UP! Fear is what Republicans thrive on.

[Nevernose]

31. Consider sobriety

Not that being a junkie makes you less of an ... why do I bother? And learn your homophones, okay?

[Windy]

35. You're obviously a Bush "two timer" ... voted for him twice didn't ya...

"embracing failure as hope" hmmmm, I believe that is called transference...

And if you are an Ayn Rand greed is good believer, good luck with that. Pure capitalism could never work precisely because of greed which people like you worship like a God. I find Ayn Rand ideologues to be generally bereft of any sense of decency and you don't have your feet firmly planted in the real world.

[Elwood P Dowd]

39. Your grammur an speling is knot freeper approved.

Typical.

[GoneOffShore]

42. Sarah, is that you? Enjoy your stay.

Hot gravel or asphalt?

Keep smoking that bad crack and stay in your mom's basement.

[Ikonoklast]

43. What about my life and it's (sic) destination?

Your (sic) an idjit.

Waited all that time just to post this weak as dishwater diatribe? Don't you self-abusers even try anymore?

The quality of trolls has declined dramatically as of late. I'm writing a letter, so help me.

45. IBTS!!! IM series!1!!11!***CALL CONGRESS.....

[nadinbrzezinski]

50. Free Republic is OVER THERE

As to your slave comment... look in the mirror

Oh and enjoy your stay

[EmilyAnne]

51. Jim Morrison was such a preening fucking dork, by the way.

[Not Sure]

30. Not relatives, but I work with a douche who says this crap ~nt~

[ShortnFiery]

32. Oh yeah. In fact, they want to completely end all political discussions. Super Bummed out!

All I can say in response is, "Now you know how I felt during January of 2000." :shrug:

[wildbilln864]

33. they said all the white people....

get ready to become slaves! :rofl: They claim to be such faithful christians and yet are so racist they make me cringe. My inlaws that is. :hi:

[proud patriot]

37. My lifelong Republican Grandmother Voted Obama at age 87

:shrug: :woohoo:

[Elwood P Dowd]

41. My mother is 90 and voted for Obama.

She voted for FDR in 1942 but then she also voted for Reagan in 1980.

[proud patriot]

53. All I know Is I'm sure thankful right now

:)

[Giant Robot]

40. Raises hand

My brother, lifelong Republican corporate tool (I do love him to death however) is going batshit crazy cause my President is going to tax him to poverty, taking away all his money and giving it to those lazy poor people and union workers. Don't look at me; I don't know where he gets it from.

[dysfunctional press]

44. "since"???

none of them. they're just as batshit crazy as ever.

[doc03]

46. I don't have any relatives that stupid but I certainly

have lots of neighbors like that. There's a bunch of us neighborhood guys meet every morning at the coffee shop. Out of about ten there are only three Democrats at best. It's comical to me every morning without even watching Faux News, O'liely, Hannity or Dobbs I know what they all talked about the night before or what the latest NRA issue said. One morning Obama is going to take all your guns and make a box of bullets cost $100. The next Obama is going to raise our taxes and give it all to to welfare bums (they mean blacks when they talk welfare). The next day the whole financial mess was all caused by Barry Frank. The next Obama is going to let the gays run the military. This morning it was the money they are going to spend on the Whitehouse lawn and other pork. It's no use even trying to argue with them they heard it on Faux it has to be fact.

[Bryn]

48. My repug sister says

"We will be on our knees as Obama surrenders to Russia..."

:crazy:

[gratuitous]

49. I've said it before: Make them write it down and sign it

And then, every other month or every three months, give them a call and read them what they wrote. I guarantee you that by July they'll be as sick of hearing their own bullshit as you are now.
