I think my white trash neighbours are dressing their 4 year old as an Obama Joker for Halloween. I will explain why after the fold. I am concerned that thousands of other folks across America will ruin Halloween, by using their own children as political pawns for their own sedistic fun.
On Saturday, I saw my neighbour, Aiden, a 4 year old boy, running around with Joker make-up. It was done in the same style as the deceased actor, Heath Ledger. I asked his aunt, "getting ready for Halloween"? She said, 'yes, I am practicing." I didn't think much of it, but then I remembered how my son kept telling me Obama was a Muslim, during the election last year. He said that is what the neighbours told him.
Now I can't confirm he is dressing as the Heath Ledger Joker, or the Obama Tea Party version. But I do know my neighbours are the ignorant type that believe whatever Fox News tells them.
I also think it is seriously wrong to use the political hate posters that you see at Tea Party events, and make your kid dress up as those signs.
So I thought it would lead to an interesting debate as to think of things to say to these children if they show up on my door step on Halloween. Should they get their own special bag of treats, perhaps full of stickers for support of the Public Option, a note (what should it say?), or something else.
I want to hear your ideas, so I decided to diary this. If I see one Hitler mustache at my door, I should.........PLACE IDEAS BELOW.
