Dear Man Outside of Trader Joes,

Posted by jmtb02 - October 25th, 2008


You made your way across 2 aisles of parking rows just to harass a woman about the Obama sticker on her car. She didn't ask for an argument and she wasn't there to pick a fight with you.

You may have strong beliefs, but it doesn't give you the right to be a jerk. After she told you to stop harassing her you wouldn't stop. You kept following her, keeping up with her as she tried to buy groceries. "Why are you voting for Obama?" you said. "You have a sticker on your car! Why are you voting for him?"

You should know that personal opinions can be private. Not everyone is comfortable debating abortion or gay rights with complete strangers (especially ones that are forceful and care not to listen in the first place).

And worse, your wife just stood there outside your "McCain-Palin" sticker adourned white Cadillac, watching over not saying a word.

I know you probably won't get this message since you are way above Newgrounds's age demographic, but maybe your kid or grandkid who visits this site knows you do this to people, and maybe since your wife couldn't stand up to you maybe your kids can.

And to the woman who was just trying to shop, I am sorry that I didn't say anything. You were just trying to buy your groceries, but instead you got harassed by an older man who wanted nothing more but to tell you that your choices were wrong. Whether you're Democrat, Republican, or whatever... basic courtesy and kindness to others is far more important than your need to tell someone they are wrong.

-John

that guy seriously sounds like a major asshole, i wouldve came over there and started screaming at him about what a jerk he was and then i would call the police>:(

I'm strong with my beliefs but I don't do things like that.

My opinion: We need new candidates anyway.

Dear John

You made your way across the internet 2 servers of Intel based processors just to inform Newgrounds about an incident regarding an Obama sticker on a woman's car. We didn't know about this story and we didn't log in thinking we would.

Thanks.

And I agree.

i have to agree with JonBro

And this kind of thing is exactly why Colbert and Stewart are so popular. Politics is nothing but a laughing stock to most of us now. Yet somehow America is considered one of the best countries in the world politically. In other words, JonBro nailed it.

Well said, well said John.

I totally fucking agree with you. That guy sounds like a douchebag. What can I say he is a republican. No offense to any non war mongol republicans.

LOL, if you're going to put a bumper sticker on your car supporting a candidate, you can expect adversity. I think she deserved it, honestly.

P.S I am also a nice guy. To bad all the girls in my school only like jerks. But I have a feeling the jerks are really abusive. Anyways I think there should be more nice guys in the world it would make it a better place.

"You should know that personal opinions can be private."

that stops when you put a sticker on your car, but ya he was being a jerk.

oh I'm sorry

Dear Faget,

writing a blog to a man, harassing a woman, instead of stepping up.

No one cares....

Cock jokes can be very personal.

Should of stepped up to defend her... You might have been stabbed or whatever but you would have felt better.

Your right
even though McCain is going to win
I wouldn't go up to someone and bother them for going for...Obama

It's funny, around these parts it's the lefties who are the nazis. Then again, there wouldn't be any national socialists without socialism :/

My mom works at Trader Joe's.

hey john

when is dark cut 3 coming out?
