Snopes confirmation

[Jimmy Dean]

Um, didn't one of the guys here take the picture of the insurance agent with the anti-obama sign out in front of his office?

wanna write to snopes to confirm this?

ran across it a few minutes ago as unconfirmed

 

[CajunTim]

All I can confirm is that it wasn't there when I went by it.

 

[LACamper]

Trust me. Its true...

I didn't see it, its definately something he'd do...

 

[Bearco]

It was not there when I went by, but you tell braces had been added to support another sign above the main one.

It's true. And I have the letter from State Farm Insurance Company thanking me for my inquiry...

Nor do I. Just doing my civic duty.

Civic duty ? Oh , I gotta hear this explanation . And don't repeat that ******** about an innocent inquiry , cuz there isn't a swinging dick on this board that will believe it .

My exacts words were "Does State Farm or it's agents endorse the use of political advertising". No complaint was made. It was an inquiry. And yes, I am happy it was removed. Firstly, because it was an obvious false statement, not even made by BO or towards BO and secondly, because it's a free country and I have the ability to speak out. Is that a good enough explanation?

 

[dantheman]

Wouldn't it be easier to just admit that as an Obama supporter , you were offended by the sign , and by bringing it to the attention of the corporate office , it would hopefully be removed ? Damn dude , I don't begrudge you for having a different opinion , just nut nut up and be honest about it .

 

[Born4spd]

Hmm.. war vs taxes.. thats a hard choice.

I've never denied I'm an Obama supporter. However, it wasn't just that. There was an error in the sign. If you know me, I'm fairly anal about stats. Not saying that being an Obama supporter didn't influence me in some way - but I didn't complain. I posed a question. I guess I scaredez themz!

What false statement ? What stats ? Ever heard of satire ?

What happened to ACLU Boy's freedom of speech position ?


(I know better than to pose these questions to a fanatic. But it's so much fun to see their contorted, irrational replies.).

 

[dragginaknee]

It was there i saw it!

 

[penguin]

go find the original thread about that and you'll see why one of the signs was wrong, I don't care to have to correct it again in this thread (it's fun watching some GOP members get upset and try to twist it when they learn that quote isn't what they think it was)

 

[dawg23]

Not responding as a GOP member, but I really don't have the time, or inclination, to research all the historical files that may have caused you to run tattle on a State Farm agent.

That doesn't reflect well on the ACLU. Did y'all run out of nativity scenes ....oh, wait ...........it's not December.

 

[penguin]

so what you're saying is is that you'd rather just take a random sign as fact than actually do any research. Fair enough.

I have never equated tattling with research.

 

[penguin]

That didn't even make any sense in the context of this thread... If you would have researched you would actually know what you're talking about.
