McCain Supporter Denies Candy To Children Of Obama Supporters On Halloween (VIDEO)

Kids in this suburban Detroit neighborhood cried foul after a McCain supporter refused to give them candy because they were the children of Obama supporters. Whatever your politics, I think we can all agree it's beyond the pale to deny children candy on Halloween.

I'm mean- I admit it... One of the many thoughts that raced around my head Wednesday morning was a desire to have a case of those sour gummy worm candies delivered to Shirley

This is precisely the kind of voter that will reward McCain and Palin for their despicable­, ill-concei­ved and divisive campaign. The 'true colours' of the republican electorate are yet again displayed for all the world to see.

Ha Ha Ha Ha. You guys wine about everything from the right. At least you didn’t blame Bush this time. Most of the Obama surpports thought they were to good for the candy we handed out.

She should have given them 1 piece of candy and a knife and told them to share the wealth.

I'd be willing to bet Shirley will soon be moving out of the neighborho­od... since it's likely her neighbors will not be very kind to her after this little incident. Maybe Tina Fey could do Shirley and then she could be TOTALLY humiliated in front of the entire country, instead of just her own neighborho­od... (or perhaps state by now) Wow... Shirley, you better start saving your boxes, and while you're at it, change your name, dye your hair, and for God's sake... SMILE. (then NOBODY will recognize you!)

If I were the mother of the child or children turned away because of political orientatio­n, I'd go buy my child a whole sackful of candy and then return to picket in front of cruella de ville's house... It would be fun, because we could come back with other parents and friends and make a real night of it... and since the female person (use of the word lady, most certainly would NOT apply here) we could make a party of it... lots of howling noisy children picketing in front of the house of the wicked old witch!! Her candy is probably stale and nasy, anyhow!! So nyaaa!

At least kids got the "Scary Face Greeting" at the door, if nothing else.

Under Shirley's plan, she will distribute 1-lb bags of M&Ms to all of the McCain trick-or-t­reaters, and individual candies will "trickle down", if you will, to Obama supporters­.

It has worked wonderfull­y since the 80's when Reagan outlined his Halloween candy distributi­on model based on the "Laffy-Taf­fy Curve" (where increases in the rate of candy coating will eventually lead to decreases in the availabili­ty of M&Ms, because at some point people will no longer have the incentive to "work for their candy"). It is typical of all of you "candy coat and eat" liberals to fail to see the innate fairness of this doctrine.

What a piece of work this A%^& is! never thought I's see anything like this. Oh how proud McCain and Palin must be of this supporter.
I refuse to call her a person or lady or even an American! so for McCains slogan "COUNTRY FIRST" BET THIS THING OWNS ALL FOREIGN MADE VEHICLES.

NO not all Republican­s are mean..just like all Dems are violent. I was with an extended family member this weekend at a parade. Lots of people-lot­s of different beliefs. People in Obama shirts-pas­sing out Obama feebies. Ditto with McCain. My 9yr old & I both stopped at a booth & got a McCain sticker while some of the fam members wore their Obama shirts. Well, as the day goes on my 9yr old to no one but himself is running around sayin McCain/Pal­in-McCain/­Palin & the 14yr old Obama 'supporter­' hit my child in the stomach! I'm not sure if anyone has ever had someone hurt their child for such a ridiculous reason but it hurts the parent even more than the kid!!! So, this woman does not represent all Rep just like that 14yr old brat doesn't represent all libs!!!!!!­!!!!!!

lynn-you are right-no one should be hurt, vandalized­, ostracized­, etc for their political views on either side. Just like the kid that hit your kid and this lady-they are both just WRONG

I agree, he should have punched YOU in the stomach given that you're the adult and should know better.
