I just went OFF in a Starbucks
I am doing my best to compose myself during this election cycle, particularly since Obama is doing well in the polls. But this asshole flirting with some woman near me sent me over the top.
First, he approaches and begins talking about innocuous things. Fine. Then, he asks her about the election. She demonstrates awe at its ferocity. Again, innocuous. He then proceeds to state that both candidates are awful. I flinch, but accept his point of view that the candidates don't speak to him. However, he then begins this diatribe about how Obama supporters are more or less braindead and are being fooled by Obama's hypnotizing speech.
I could have taken the high road and asking him not to talk politics as it is a touchy subject for me (after 8 years of Bush, come on..) or point out that figures such as Colin Powell, Donald Trump and the Eisenhower girl are supporting Obama.
Nope! Instead, I turn around and yell "Get the **** away from me!" to which he says, "I'm talking to her." as if this allows him to insult me within ear shot. "I said, I don't give a ****. You're talking shit and ruining people's days. You should know better than to talk this shit in public!!" He then says, "well, we disagree." To which I begin screaming while pointing at him, "YOU'RE the ****in' idiot!" (alluding to his comments that begin my coniption) At this point, my veins are bulging. He backs down, I turn around, and get this, put on my ear phones so that I can't hear him anymore! He probably thought, "why didn't you do that to begin with." Why? Because assholes need to be put in their place. I suspect he is a repig who is disappointed in the direction of the campaign. Seeing an African American within earshot, he thought he could get away with his passive aggressive bullshit. Au ****in' contraire "my friend". I feel better now, thanks for being there and letting me share fellow DUers!
GO OBAMA!!
Wow. Crazy ass blacks for Obama. Whoulda thunk?

36. good grief, another "I pwned a repub" thread
Seriously, the guy was not even talking to you, and you yelled at him to "get the **** away" from you? Sorry, but that sounds self-indulgent, at best, not to mention incredibly rude. All this insulting of total strangers that people are proudly relating in the past couple of days is WAY off base. Do you think Obama would approve?

94. Are you African American?
There have been several posts on DU lately about people talking back to Republicans spouting nonsense, or even insulting people to their faces, but yours is definitely the most extreme example I've seen.
Your last couple of sentences lead me to believe that you are African American and felt that the man was a racist who was deliberately insulting you. Is this how you felt?
Just trying to understand.

105. I think he profiled me because I am an African American
so he figured he could put in a few jabs without consequence. As you can see, there are those who would have allowed him to insult them, I am not one of those people.
Big bonfire with a lot of OMC bashing. Someone even used WWOD in the thread. It's nice they have a personal Jesus in the guy. :whatever:
-
If someone did to me what this guy did, I would call 9/11 and have him arrested. Cussing is a form of assault.
-
Why can't this happen around me sometime?
Oh that's right it never actually happens.
-
Sounds like he underlined the guy's point and then painted it in DayGlo colors for all to see!
:lmao:
-
Yet they are incredulous that we consider them to be irrational,insane and immature little children.

I think this one might be true. The guy admits to eavesdropping and verbally assaulting someone who dares to not love the messiahnfuhrer. He also admits his victim did NOT respond in kind.
A true bouncy would have reversed the roles, with Our Hero calmly "totally shutting down" his frothing and screaming rethug opponent while the entire Starbucks store applauds and gives thumbs up.

This DUmmie has a huge chip on his shoulders regarding his own race and how, based upon that, others view him. That is very clear as you read the whole incident. It's a shame that the Dems/libs have given black people no hope and made them feel inferior and in turn angry, but when your treat them like children who can't make it unless you're in power to help them, these types of immature outbursts by the ejbr's of the world are to be expected.

Yep, seems any behavior can be excused at DU if you be sure to say you're black in your bouncy.

Anyone wound that tightly is going to find himself either in jail or beaten into the ground sooner or later.

OR gay.... or an illegal... or...

Point of interest for those who study primitives as a hobby. There's a post by the haruka primitive who was TSd some time last year. She's back in Skin's good graces! It's about time for another DUmmie fund raiser.

Yeah, he was way out of line. the guy wasn't talking to him and it was none of his business to interject. Nobody needs to 'give you a break' for enduring anything. Jesus, should people talking about a divorce in line be careful because the guy in front of them is sensitive because he's going through one currently. Accept the fact you are eavesdropping, go bang your head against the steering wheel and curse obscenities when you get in your car, and then move on. Geesh..isn't hard stuff. I've never understood the moonbat liberal need to defend their view and choices to whoever will listen, nor their insistence that even an overheard comment was meant personally to them. What a bunch of narcissists.
