I spoke out about all the Obama rhetoric spouted by my co-workers, now I'm out of a job.

I would have stayed and fought. My daughter wanted me to take this to the press, but who would listen, except maybe Fox News. And then there's the the possible repercussions to my family, my children and grandchildren.

I know this is common, too. A friend of mine was threatened at her workplace and told she would be prosecuted if her name was attached to any anti Obama emails.

Man I am so lucky. I work for a small company with hard core conservative leasdership. Many of us are CCW holders and carry to wrk. The president & CEO also carrys and encourages all of us to do so. We don't play no stinkin golf ... we shoot trap once a week.

Out of 30 or so people we do have two or three who had drunk the Obama Koolaide. We don't threaten or harass, but I know who will get laid off first if the small business tax kicks in.

If you did that in Michigan, your life would have been threatened as well

yep, I work in Detroit and if they even suspected that I was not an Obama worshipper I would be in a very vulnerable position. If I was lucky, I would get away with only vandalism to my car.

I know Mark Levin is a member of Free Republic and maybe someone who knows his posting I.D. can ping him to this thread.

Un-freaking-real....

These Obamabots are truly Nazis. That's an acronym for National Socialists for those of you with a public screwel education.

Fits, don't it?

Under a President Obama along with a Democratic majority in the next Congress, this kind of thing will definitely get even worse throughout the U.S.! There really is no way to completely measure all of the problems that a President Obama along with a Democratic majority in the next Congress will definitely create for the entire U.S.! Ignorant voters and stupid voters really could be the dominant groups on November 4, but I really hope that I’m very wrong about this prediction.

Where I work it's about 95% Obamamaniacs. I don't talk about politics at work because for me it would be a career limiting move.

Ditto, except I do speak up among peers on occasion ... at lunch ... and none of this extends beyond convertation, I'm confident.

... so how are we figuring McCain's going to win?

I’m sorry to hear that. Respect for freedom of speech is almost nonexistent for many 0bama supporters.

A labor attorney?? Labor attorneys are union attorneys and they will not help...she quit and that’s all she could have done to save her pride and dignity. I hear it all day long as well and I work with labor attorneys - one person had to take down a small 2x3 inch mccain card off her cork board but yet others can have door size obama signs on their office. Political affiliation does not rise to the level of protected class for discrimination purposes - which really sucks.

Take heart that, if Obama gets elected, your co-workers will likely be unemployed, too.

Come on down to Texas. Economy is still pretty good here, and we think straight.

Good Lord, man. Get the hell out of there. Don't wait for one of those goons to rat you out to the others. You could be putting yourself in real jeopardy there.

The THUGGERY has trickled down...
Beware of Obamaites in the workplace. They will get ya.

This whole email thing was caused by a mid level Obamaite who took it to extremes. She wanted to get those girls fired....the one who sent it and just for kicks my friend.

I told her to not email ppl at work, ever.

Kind of makes one wonder if Obama is elected ( steals the election with the aid of ACORN) and they go for the fairness doctrine..they will also go after sites like this, try to find out who is really behind all the screen names and then come after all of us and herd us off to a re education camp.
Yikes,, how much more dangerous can this get before people wake up and see what is going to happen.
He got rid of 3 news papers on the jet, went after a news anchor, Joe and probably Tito too...this guy will make the Clinton mafia look like tame animals. Let us hope McC gains his footing and pulls this off.

I am (or was) an ACTOR. While on the set of a Period Film (1937) Director said to adlib while walking into the building. The man next to me (the only other Conservative I found) said “Our Tax dollars at work,” and I said something clean but nasty about the LIBS Patron Saint FDR.

“CUT!!” came out of nowhere.. Director grabbed both by the shoulders and fired us on the spot. This was just about 10 years ago, and haven’t been able to work in NYC SINCE.
I’m still working at it.. so F that LIBERAL SCUM BAG.

Get a lawyer...not that you want your job back, but you should receive a settlement.

I advise that you withdraw your resignation. Make them fire you so you can collect unemployment until you find another job. The best time to look for a job, however, is while you still have one, so not quitting is definitely what you want to do.

Why not stick around and become a thorn in their sides? Do everything EXACTLY by the book. That always takes a lot longer than normal work. And document EVERYTHING.

It's been discussed, believe me. I work on a contract and when it's done I will be gone for a long while from Detroit.

Needless to say, if the holy one loses I will not be going into Detroit on Nov 5th.
