Dozens Of Call Center Workers Quit Over McCain Attacks

Talking Points Memo:

At least three dozen workers at a telemarketing call center in Indiana walked off the job rather than read an incendiary McCain campaign script attacking Barack Obama, according to two workers at the center and one of their parents.

Nina Williams, a stay-at-home mom in Lake County, Indiana, tells us that her daughter recently called her from her job at the center, upset that she had been asked to read a script attacking Obama for being "dangerously weak on crime," "coddling criminals," and for voting against "protecting children from danger."

They'll be offshored for 2012.

This is the meltdown. Finally.

[tlgeiger62]

Glad to hear SOME rethugs came up for air.

Stupid McCain should have outsourced these calls to India, where people will do what they're told for less.

[LiberTLover]

HIs base would hang up hearing an Indian accent, thinking it was part of Obama's multicultural campaign!

[Sisto]

These people at least have integrady and did the right thing! They bounced out of that place! Get out the vote Democrats!

This is exactly what a great leader does. He inspires.

If the Obama team had returned McCain's slime everytime, or if Obama had decided to be as nasty as McCain was in the debates, and if his rallies were full of hate and deriisiion, there would be no problem getting the folks to read that script.

But he has been consistent in maintaining the Calm, the Peace, and in maintaining harmony,. This kind of leader is rare. How many have we had in the last 100 years, where a leader has brought a message of hope like water to parched lips under a desert sun? Something tells me that because of the character of this man, he will inspire many Americans, and make the worlld believe in us again. Perhaps his role is to show the world that we must learn to settle our differences other than through military conflict.

Yeah, but it's all Obama's fault. Because, you see, the townhall-style debates that McCain wanted in the Summer was the only thing standing between decency and dishonor. When Obama declined those meetings, McCain couldn't help himself.

[1differentdrummer]

Shoot, the RNC and McCain can outsource that to India. I expect it.

[poeticsinger]

These people make me proud to be an American. BRAVO!

These young women got their first taste of what Republicans are all about.

They are fighters and should be praised.

[InspiredbyObama]

WOW, I'm so glad they stood up for this!

Maybe this will give others courage!

Amazing!

[pjburns11]

OOoh, it's getting scary! Like some political Poe!

Happy Halloween!

Every once in a while The People stand up.

When we do, everything changes.

Rosa Parks wouldn't give up her seat on that bus in Montgomery.

And this week forty or so real Americans stood up for what is right.

I'M NOT STOPPING MY WORK FOR OBAMA. But it seems to me we may (IF EVERYBODY REFUSES TO LET UP, POURING IT ON EXTRA HARD, AND THEN HARDER FOR THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS) on the cusp of the most important socio-political sea change since 1932.

I pray it, make it so.

[DrDemon]

What do you expect when their boss is a "Losing Maverick" ?

Maverick My A$$! He is nothing but a F*CKIN' LYING HYPOCRITE!

[WestCoastWoman]

Thank you to the folks that walked out. I sure hope that everyone that is even considering voting for McCain and Palin will walk out of the voting booth with vote towards Obama! We will deliver this election to Obama! YES WE WILL! I can't wait! Peace
