phpoSQazUPM.jpgLast week McCain/Palin supporters outed themselves in Park Slope, and it resulted in a friendly, neighborly discussion internet bashing over at the Brooklynian message board. One republican poster claims, "I think there are more of us out there than you think, we just know to keep our opinions to ourselves around Park Slope and NYC in general. Y'all can be pretty intolerant of dissenting viewpoints." Another righty delcares, "Sorry to burst your defeatocratist bubble but a lot of us Republicans have been here a long time..pre-Reagan. Long before entitled liberals started showing up and buying their million dollar brownstones and whining for free health care. So if anyone should leave it's you." The gloves are really comin' off now! Luckily, one local served up this solution when the thread got a little heavy on the abortion topic: "Abortions for some, miniature American flags for others." Hear, hear. Have you seen any campaign signs up lately? [via NYMag]
