This is how petty election politics have become this year: a Republican denies children Halloween candy if they won't agree with her choice of McCain for president.

For real? Sounds like a joke! What a psycho. Well, a neighborhood of children will have bad memories of Republicans!
Posted by: Dahan | November 2, 2008 4:52 PM
I think this makes sense. I didn't give anyone any candy unless they said they were followers of the FSM.

I like how the teenager at the end (who looked below voting age) was the voice of reason and the so-called "adult" (who can vote) was the childish and irresponsible one.
Also, how effective is handing out McCain-Palin fliers to people who already support McCain? So her "strategy" is both needlessly hurtful to children *and* moronic.

Posted by: TW | November 2, 2008 5:09 PM
Bizzare and mean spirited but, hey, it is up to her who she gives candy to. How she thinks this will encourage support of McCain is beyond me, but then she doesn't look all that rational.
Equally weird, how did this make it into a news item?

She looks so happy too.
Posted by: tybowen | November 2, 2008 5:12 PM
You know, if I was undecided (and hadn't already voted) this would swiftly push me to voting for Obama. I wonder if she thought about that?

It shows that conservatives only approve of handouts when it is to fellow conservatives and elites (ie bailout package, Reaganomics).
But when it is to progressives, the poor, or children (Bush vetoing Child Insurance bill), they cry socialism.

Talk about missing the spirit (in the non-supernatural sense) of the holiday.
Here's a fun night in the life of youngsters (of just about any age), a time to dress up, and enjoy sweet treats and shivers of spooky fun. A time to have a communal, social connection from neighborhood to neighborhood.
And this lady made it all about herself.
Lady, I'm largely unfamiliar with the phraseology of much of the youth these days, but if I'm not mistaken, that's pretty significant fail. That's at least 3 standard deviations above the mean of fail.
Sad.

Between this and the kicking out of the young Republicans who looked like they might be protesters the Republican party seems to be doing a wonderful job of alienating almost anyone below the age of 25. This is different though since it is one person being crazy rather than a well-planned action by people in the party. And the scale is a bit smaller. (And I wouldn't be surprised if somewhere there's an Obama supporter doing the exact same thing).
Posted by: Bubba Sixpack | November 2, 2008 5:26 PM
Yeah, that's a great strategy for getting people to vote for McCain: tell their kids they don't get candy if the parents support Obama.
I'm sure the parents will turn right around and vote for McCain...
BTW, this "lady" would fit right in with the elite filthy rich Wall Street Repub crowd, with that outfit. Perhaps she's really a Dem and that was her Halloween character: a demented Wall-street McCain supporter.
Posted by: E.V. | November 2, 2008 5:28 PM
Oh, don't worry, this will bite her on the ass eventually. She'll never live down being the Old Rethuglian Witch who discriminated against kids (who couldn't vote anyway). We'll just chalk it up to "karma" with a wink and a nudge.
I'm sure those disappointed kids will want to be Republicans when they grow up.

I was surprised that no-one in the video seemed to explicitly raise the point that what she was doing was moronic - the kids can't vote, candy isn't gonna change the parent's vote.
Although I would find it stupidly awesome if the entire presidential campaigning process was based on candy.
O: "Vote for me, I'll give everyone a free lollipop!"
M: "No, vote for me! I'll give everyone TWO lollipops"
O: "Well, I'll give them a bar of chocolate as well. Not supermarket brand chocolate. Cadbury's."

Eric, you didn't get a better response because your comment was about as close to contentless as it could be barring it becoming a string of random letters. What are you claiming when you say that "A true Democrat would have inspected each kids bag and depending on that child's racial and social economic status,removed or added candy as required." Are you trying to refer to affirmative action or to reparations? Are you trying to refer to the use of welfare? If the first case, then the claim is stupid because most Dems don't support any form of reparations for slavery. If you are talking about welfare then the claim is equally stupid because making sure that people have the minimal amount they need to survive with dignity in a given society isn't at all the same as deciding how much candy kids get (notice the difference between essential and non-essentials). In fact, almost no one is in favor of no federal welfare programs. The question is to whom to give and how much? Moreover, the notion of a government deciding to use its tax money of the electorate in a certain way is so different than someone taking candy of a non-consenting individual by a private citizen that I don't even know how to express it.

I'm very much a backer of the democratic party, but I didn't inspect the bags of any kids or redistribute anything based on height or other criteria. Actually, I don't know anyone who does, just as I know of none of my Republican friends who discriminated against non-McCain backers. This woman is simply a moron.

Posted by: Nibien | November 2, 2008 6:58 PM
Your assumption made you a ass.
I never said, specifically, you ascribed to the beliefs of the Christian doctrine, I said you were, in fact, a good Christian.
That is, you're ignorant, unthinking, uncritical, uneducated, spiteful, hateful, spout pointless phrases that mean nothing, yet think they win the day for you, are a general ass who seems to hate everyone who is different from you.
In fact, every personality trait you have seems to fit perfectly into one of the most fundamental Christian sects there are. Your lack of belief in God, I can be assured, did not come from critical thinking and a strong intellectual background, it comes merely from either from an emotional standing, or merely a lack of indoctrination.
Also, I quite enjoy the irony of you calling me an ass, as you are undoubtedly the most disliked human beings and I use that word for you, quite "liberally" in your case (I like puns)) who posts on these forums, and for good reason.
So, ascribing to the belief in a God or not, you are a perfect fundie-Christian, or any other religious nomination you wish to ascribe all the spiteful traits to. Your lack of believe in a God is of minor consequence, because the real problem with the religious is not their belief but that hatred and ignorant that stems with it and that, you have all of and more.

"This ReTHUGlican women was mean to those children. A true Democrat would have inspected each kids bag and depending on that child's racial and social economic status,removed or added candy as required."
Actually, Eric, a Democrat, particularly a Liberal Democrat, would give candy to any child, irregardless of political view, faith or lack of it, national origin, race, gender, sexual orientation, whatever, you name it. We treat everyone equally, remember.
A Republican would only give candy to the kids of her rich cronies and tell the less fortunate tots to go choke. She's got hers and doesn't give a good goddamn about anyone else, UNLESS there is something in it for her.
The GOP motto..."If they're going to die, let them do it quick and reduce the surplus population."
Or better yet..."Yes, we'd sell our own mother to benefit ourselves, but only if we can send her COD."

You need to understand you aren't funny, so you just sound stupid. You aren't going to be the next Carlin. So if you aren't adding to the thread, just don't just try to be funny.BTW, I am not so much pro Obama as I am "not the republican candidate, whoever it may be". So I am a mild Obama voter.

Eric Atkinson - Your child molesting post at #76 should get you banned. I hope PZ sends you to the seventh level of the pit. Asshole is too good for the likes of you, at least an asshole has a function. Pervert.

Ah Eric A., you're just an unabashed idiot aren't you? Linking to LGF always a good indicator of that.

Patricia. Dr Myers has access to the information that shows I didn't make that post.
It wouldn't suprise me if you made that post.

I am going to be so happy when this election is over. I am sure there will be a whole new bunch of crazy no matter who wins, but at least there may be some new stupid instead of the same old stupid. I personally would like to see some progress WRT:
* Iraq
* Global warming
* Stem cell research
* Alternative energy
* Ending torture in the United States
* Ending illegal spying
* Bringing back the 900+ year right to habeas corpus
* More support for scientific research
* Less hate from loonies (dreaming on that one I know)
