Woman denies candy to Obama supporters' kids
 
A couple of days old, but it blew my mind.

A Grosse Pointe Farms woman has doled out political tricks by refusing Halloween treats to children whose parents support Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.


Shirley Nagel passed out candy Friday — but only to those who shared her support for Republican presidential candidate John McCain and running mate Sarah Palin.


Fox 2 News says a sign posted outside Nagel's house, about 12 miles west of Detroit, served notice to all trick-or-treaters. It read: "No handouts for Obama supporters, liars, tricksters or kids of supporters."


Nagel tells WJBK-TV that "Obama's scary." When asked about children who'd been turned away empty-handed and crying, she said: "Oh well. Everybody has a choice."


Fax and phone messages were left today at numbers listed in Nagel's name.

This woman is a nut case. I don't care who she sided with, no kid should be punished. From the interview I saw, kids started crying and had no idea why they were denied candy.

This is hate in the truest sense.

Wow, that's a whole new level of bitter. Yes, let's take it out on the children, who have absolutely nothing to do with their parents' voting. That's logical.

OMG, I know her (in the 6 degrees of separation sense, she is related to my cousin's husband)

Well, my cousin's first name is very similar to hers. When I first read it, I thought it said HER name and I was like "But they don't live in Grosse Pointe". Then I realized, it's her MIL. Her son is such a nice guy!

I'm not talking to her at the next family thing she's at!

CrackerBarrel 11-03-2008 08:32 PM

HAHAHA that's awesome. Hopefully she was teaching them what Democrats really believe and taking away the candy they would have gotten to give it to the kids too lazy to go trick-or-treating for themselves. ;) After all, it's wonderful that you are being successful in trick-or-treating, but we need to give the opportunity to eat candy to those behind you as well, I think, uh, it's better for all of us if we spread the candy around.

This makes the news why?

Can I just ask why anyone who saw that sign posted would approach her door no matter who you supported politically?

It's almost like just posting a sign that says "hey, I'm a crazy political crank. Stop by if you want to hear about black helicopters."

Why would you ring that bell?

christiangirl 11-03-2008 09:16 PM

They did a follow-up piece on the woman across the street who consoled the kids who came to her house next and insisted that not all adults are as stupid as the other lady (lol, no offense to your fam AGDee:)) :http://www.freep.com/article/2008110...035/1001/rss01

This was my favorite part of that article:
Quote:

Fleury said most of the rejected children didn’t appear upset. Rather, many walked away chanting Obama’s name, she said.
Kids are so resilient...and oppositional. :D

Exactly. That's just outrageous!!! Election or not, why would you deny any child candy or goodies that come to your house on Halloween? Hell I give kids in my neighborhood candy and goodies year round for no reason other than they are kids!!

And her house didn't get TRICKED? At least wrapped . . . c'mon, young people of America! What has happened to our cherished traditions? Trick OR Treat. Seems to me she chose trick . . .

Exactly what I was thinking.

WCsweet<3 11-04-2008 03:58 PM

Something must have happened to that house. Or will happen, maybe after tonight when we know who the President actually is. I would suggest putting all the Obama/Biden signs in her yard. Every single sign one could find would be covering her yard, but hey that is just me.

LOL the greek houses at Univ. of Washington do this after elections...except it's signs for every candidate they can find, and it's not limited to the lawn.

This country and the people in it need....something. And I KNOW it's only gonna get worse from tomorrow onward. I just know it...

hahahaha. yes this is a couple of days old. but seriously that crazy old lady not giving candy to kids.

and by the way, if they were going to go TP her house, i hope they didn't take Alabama's QB John Parker Wilson with him because last time he tried to TP someone's house (Saban's) some TP was over here, and some was over there, and some landed at the neighbor's house. :)

madmax 11-07-2008 03:22 PM

At least the woman did not try to run the kids over with her car like Albert Belle(democrat) of the Cleveland Indians.
