No joke. Someone called me that when they found out I was voting Obama.

One of my Facebook friends (an Obama voter) called me a "Fascist pig who doesn't care about people," and wrote me a message with a whole lot of curse words when she found out I was voting McCain. It was quite possibly the rudest email I've ever received.

Idiocy exists on both sides.

It's as if sending you mean messages and "articles" from websites such as (example) www.nobamanoway.com or www.morelikejohnmcant.com are really going to change your mind at this stage in the game.

Exactly - or, the fact that I'm a Republican is some sort of personal flaw. It's annoying, and I already get a lot of crap being a Republican in New England. I don't need my "friends" sending me really nasty messages.

I just told her that she was entitled to her opinion, and that I would hope she would respect my opinion, even if she didn't agree with it.
