So here's the thing about McCain supporters, or at least the ones I know (I wouldn’t want to generalize too much). They are immature, ignorant, and have no ability to see anything as good that doesn’t involve Republicans. They refuse to see any good in Obama, and if you’re a human you can admit that there is some good in everyone. And there is some good in everyone, I can see good in McCain, I just don't think that he is the best choice to run the country.
So, one ignorant McCain supporter I know just responded to something I'd said and it got me all riled up…and really I should probably take the high road and let it go, but it’s really hard for me to let ignorance go unanswered. There’s got to be some justice in the world.
Basically I said that it is unfair to judge someone by who they know (The Obama and Ayers conversation). Hell, we all know some pretty unlovable characters. I sure don't want people judging me based on the people I know. At any rate, this ignorant bastard responded to me by saying that "Perhaps Obama will name Osama Bin Laden to his cabinet." I responded by telling him that was an ignorant thing to say. And seriously, what the hell? How immature do you have to be to say something like that?
I don't give a crap who Obama is friends with, just as I wouldn't want someone judging me by my friends. I mean I like my friends and all but I don’t want someone saying I’m a drunk because I have drunk friends or that I am a Republican because I have Republican friends or whatever, fill in the blank, that I am a ______ because my friend Sally is a ______.
And more importantly, my friends don’t tell me what to do, so even if I have a terrorist friend, that doesn’t make me a terrorist…and this is all conjecture anyway. This is even if Ayers and Obama are close, which Obama says they aren’t. So let it go…
So here's the thing about McCain supporters. If you want to support McCain, fine do what you like, but don't come at me with your ignorant jargon and act like it's acceptable dialogue.
