I’m oddly impressed that she was willing to go on camera and cop to this jackassery. What she lacks in simple decency she more than makes up for in courage! Or maybe she’s trying to prove a point about taxes. The case for redistribution made simple: When stingy homeowners won’t part willingly with their candy, the candy must be seized for the common good.
T-minus one hour and counting until the exit polls drop. Can you feel it?

Haha!! That’s f’ed up man.
nickj116 on November 4, 2008 at 4:03 PM
That is really cool of the reporters to put her name and town on TV.

Mark Garnett on November 4, 2008 at 4:04 PM
I loved the cartoon Michelle had about the guy telling the halloween kids they had too much candy, and he was gonna take half to give to the kids too lazy to get it themselves!!
right4life on November 4, 2008 at 4:04 PM
I can’t wait to hear about the skewed exit polls. Prediction: the MSM calls it for Obama by 7:00.
pmanley on November 4, 2008 at 4:05 PM
She’s had a rough few days since that video came out. Her address and phone number, which were in the phone book, were posted on 4-Chan.
SnarkVader on November 4, 2008 at 4:05 PM
Speak up, I cant hear you.
Elizabetty on November 4, 2008 at 4:05 PM
Did you believe the woman though that said her daughter cried only because the woman asked who she was voting for? Whatever
kerrhome on November 4, 2008 at 4:05 PM
Actually, can YOU feel it? Alcohol does tend to have a numbing effect.
ManlyRash on November 4, 2008 at 4:05 PM
When did we see exit polls in 2004? I seem to recall some word at this time, but I don’t really remember.
bilups on November 4, 2008 at 4:05 PM
John and Ken on KFI in LA had John’s son on yesterday and he said he went to a house where the lady would not give candy to McCain supporters.
Mark1971 on November 4, 2008 at 4:05 PM
Did you say something?
amerpundit on November 4, 2008 at 4:06 PM
Musing and laughing about it is one thing. Actually depriving little kids of candy is deplorable.
macummings on November 4, 2008 at 4:06 PM
Nobody needs that kind of support. Santa won’t be visiting her at Christmas.
lexhamfox on November 4, 2008 at 4:06 PM
I RUV HER ROTS.
seejanemom on November 4, 2008 at 4:06 PM
Definitely classy.
Rosie looked pretty upset in that video too.
The One will make it rain candies from the sky soon anyway so no worries.
RDuke on November 4, 2008 at 4:06 PM
First: THIS IS NEWS????
Secondly, the woman is a jerk, either way. Leave the kids out of this stupid crap. They don’t vote.
MadisonConservative on November 4, 2008 at 4:07 PM
Scary is Sharia financing laws coming to the U.S. The Treasury submits to Sharia.

Angry Dumbo on November 4, 2008 at 4:07 PM
Kids just shoulda said, ‘Anyone you like, lady. Now hand over the M&Ms.’
Sheesh, kids today!

“Reporting live,
I’m Andrea Obama, Obama 2 News.”
FiveWays on November 4, 2008 at 4:07 PM
“I was shocked when I stood out here and heard her telling people…”
Dude, you have a life-sized Obama cardboard stand-up behind you… You have no right to talk.
Enoxo on November 4, 2008 at 4:07 PM
INCORRECT PEACE SIGN ALERT!
“Obama 4 Mercedes”
Brat on November 4, 2008 at 4:07 PM
Last week, I told a couple of my coworkers (the more rabid pro-Obama ones) that I was going to save money on Halloween candy by dressing up as Sen. Obama and, when a group of kids came to the door, redistributing the candy from the kids with the most to the rest.
I wouldn’t have really done that, of course, but it was still fun to see their eyes bulge out.
malclave on November 4, 2008 at 4:07 PM
This is sad, I gave a beer to all of the kids who knocked on my door, regardless of their political affiliation.
NoDonkey on November 4, 2008 at 4:07 PM
It seems like with every open registration, even more dregs float in than the last time.
MadisonConservative on November 4, 2008 at 4:08 PM
Y’all are such wusses….she’s my new hero.
Halloween is, after all , the most egregious GIVE AWAY holiday evah….
seejanemom on November 4, 2008 at 4:08 PM
Don’t politicize Halloween, lady! Dang.
* hangs head *
RushBaby on November 4, 2008 at 4:08 PM
AMEN. BROTHA.
seejanemom on November 4, 2008 at 4:09 PM
We used to give out candy, but it was more or less a waste of time as all the parents take their kids to the mall. So it was either sit inside and let the doorbell ring whilst the dogs go absolutely bonkers, or sit outside bored to death freezing my patookiss off.
So I started hanging signs ever year:
2006: NO CANDY DUE TO GLOBAL WARMING!
2007: NO CANDY DUE TO HIGH GAS PRICES!
2008: NO CANDY DUE TO WORLDWIDE FINANCIAL MELTDOWN!
robblefarian on November 4, 2008 at 4:09 PM
The fat broad holding her kid certainly didn’t look like a welfare recipient……
FiveWays on November 4, 2008 at 4:09 PM
Good for her. I can’t stand the little bastards, their twee and precious little costumes and trick or treat bags, demanding I part with my Milky-Ways and Three Musketeers bars.
Last year’s tragic “accidental” porch collapse put a stop to that.
No trick-or-treaters this year. Woo-Hoo!
ManlyRash on November 4, 2008 at 4:10 PM
At first I thought it was funny but the only thing the kids will take away from this is that they have narrowed down the list of houses to egg and toilet-paper later on.
Rambler on November 4, 2008 at 4:10 PM
“no soup for you”
savant on November 4, 2008 at 4:10 PM
Yep.
amerpundit on November 4, 2008 at 4:10 PM
Ok well…as a college student – I give this woman kudos for her guts. As a child people tried to indoctrinate me – my teachers, and now my professors. She has a right to do what she wants. Today my professor said jokingly (I hope) before handing out my midterm something like ‘Republicans will get lower scores’.
I think that if the guy really wanted to make a point about candy for all – he wouldn’t have put up an Obama cut out and worn Obama pins. Instead he was just trying to show her up as opposed to doing the right thing.

Oye mi gente – vote por McCain!
bella710 on November 4, 2008 at 4:11 PM
Whoa – I thought McCain’s Internal Pollster sent out an email yesterday to basically ignore the exit polls?!?
Then factor in the PUMAs who have opted to outright lie to the exit polltakers – it’ll be a total head fake.
My drinking will start in roughly one hour, twenty minutes.
tru2tx on November 4, 2008 at 4:11 PM
Oh that’s much worse than Black Pantythers blocking a polling place..not.
Speakup on November 4, 2008 at 4:11 PM
Dude, please! I’m anxious enough.
JonPrichard on November 4, 2008 at 4:11 PM
Oh Crap a Democrat!
TheBigOldDog on November 4, 2008 at 4:12 PM
So what do they think Teachers do everyday?
What is so unbelievable about indoctrinating children where ever they are gathered. It is the Obama way.
Connecticut on November 4, 2008 at 4:12 PM
ya, i’m going to find that woman…go to her house… hide in the bushes… and snipe anyone that tries to steal her signs. no handouts for Obama! yay! I like how the mean republican made the little kids cry. so much like taking candy from a baby, but not…
anti-boomer on November 4, 2008 at 4:12 PM
Heh. Leave the deprogramming to the professionals.
econavenger on November 4, 2008 at 4:12 PM
Relax and enjoy the banter. This night belongs to McCain nd America.
ManlyRash on November 4, 2008 at 4:13 PM
My collie says:
1) The woman is within her rights.
2) There should be a moratoriaum on handing out sugar-laced candy to children here in the U.S. The epidemic of obesity that we are facing calls for drastic measures.
3) She’s right about one thing. Obama IS scary.
CyberCipher on November 4, 2008 at 4:13 PM
OMG, DID ANYONE CATCH THE OBAMA FOR MERCEDES SIGN?!?!?
budorob on November 4, 2008 at 4:14 PM
I liked the “Obama 4 Mercedes Benz” sign.
jdpaz on November 4, 2008 at 4:14 PM
only worse, if she attacks the obama kids with a billy club. good idea for a scene in a political docu-horror!
anti-boomer on November 4, 2008 at 4:14 PM
I hope she’s ready for next year’s egging.
Dave Rywall on November 4, 2008 at 4:14 PM
Well, I thought I’d hand out healthy treats this year.
In retrospect, fresh eggs were a very bad idea.
Rhinoboy on November 4, 2008 at 4:14 PM
That so hurts my eyes, dood. Ouch.
Akzed on November 4, 2008 at 4:14 PM
All people like this accomplish is to make the right look just like lefty moonbats!
If she felt so strongly she shoul have voluntered for the McCain campaign!
I hope somone gave her a TRICK…perhaps a flaming bag of dog poop?!
Liberty or Death on November 4, 2008 at 4:15 PM
So, what would you say is the vanishingly small percentage chance that this woman is an actual McCain supporter, and not an Obama plant?
gridlock2 on November 4, 2008 at 4:15 PM
What the hell?
Isn’t this what Democrats do instead with their, “I won’t give my promiscuous self away to Republicans” campaigning?
And she did this to kids?
That’s just sad.
Esthier on November 4, 2008 at 4:15 PM
I voted McCain, but this woman is DUMB. That isn’t the kind of advertising that McCain needs or wants. Besides, some nearby Obama supporter put up an Obama candy for everyone sign which made her little ruse backfire. What a stupid woman.
worlok on November 4, 2008 at 4:16 PM
Aside: I told the kids not dressed up I would not give them any candy unless they entertained me. They all did (danced, sang, spoke spanish) and laughed while doing it.
Elizabetty on November 4, 2008 at 4:16 PM
Dude, you’re lucky. They bus kids into my development. No kidding. We spend big bucks on candy! However, it’s worth every penny and I have no problem with all the kids coming here. It’s great to see them in their costumes and it’s nice to make the night special for them. We all spend a lot of time and money making it a special place for them to come and enjoy the night.
TheBigOldDog on November 4, 2008 at 4:16 PM
Did you say Obama’s giving everybody a Mercedes??? Wow, I love this redistribution thing. I’m goin’ to the polls tonight and votin’ for….
Just kidding. Already voted for McCain. HOO-rah.
manwithblackhat on November 4, 2008 at 4:16 PM
Stay outta my yard, you dam kids!
davidk on November 4, 2008 at 4:16 PM
Today Ladies and Gentelmen, we are in the valley, clad in our battlegear, awaken to the day by a force from within, a purpose, a mission, battle lies ahead!
We have been joined this “MORNING IN AMERICA” by PUMA’s, Reagan Democrates, RHINO’s, Conservatives, peoples of all faiths, of all social backgrounds, of ALL races, arm in arm, shoulder to shoulder, clinging to our God, our Guns, our Flag, our Constitution!
We are looking up at a huge mountain, with a fortress of the far left radicals inside awaiting our attack. The Socilialists, protected all the way up the hill by the MSM, and with Pundits blocking our paths, the task is daunting and will require all of the effort a human can muster!
But we are bolstered by our faith, comforted by that still small voice inside… Fortified by the knowledge that from our efforts here today our children and thiers will grow up in a FREE, PROUD, STRONG AMERICA… The America of our Founders, of our Grandfathers and Fathers, of our FALLEN HEROS who gave it all for our RIGHT TO FIGHT TODAY!
Drawing comfort from our friends, family, church and our mission we march onward, “RUSH”ing up the hill, tossing aside all the Pundits, embarrasing the MSM, confronting the radicals and leaving them wondering what hit them…
VICTORY AWAITS for all those willing to lay it all on the line today! Are you ready? Will you fight? Will you vote?
LET’s ROLL!
Mark Garnett on November 4, 2008 at 4:16 PM
I think that woman rocks. Everybody does have a choice… leave it to liberals like Madame Obesity in that clip to complain when they don’t get what they feel they deserve…
Republican on November 4, 2008 at 4:16 PM
Until acorn shows up.

Allah, please? Mercy?
MadisonConservative on November 4, 2008 at 4:18 PM
This appeals to my f’ed-up sense of humor.
I’m an asshole and I approve that woman’s message.
LimeyGeek on November 4, 2008 at 4:18 PM
Ahem. If you don’t want kids trick or treating at your house, you signal it by leaving your lights off that night. This woman set out to do this. Candy stapled to campaign door-hangers? She USED and harassed the kids to make a political point. I don’t think the parents needed to respond in kind, but then again I can’t really blame them.
There is no defense for this. This behavior was ugly and intentional, and must be shunned.
What would our dear Sarah think about this, for heaven sake.
RushBaby on November 4, 2008 at 4:18 PM
I am sorry, but I love this, it is great. I think little libs need to learn a lesson early so they don’t end up like their parents, since their parents ARE brainwashing them. Harsh, maybe, NOT. I have no sympathy for them and I am not going to be PC and pretend that I do. Frankly, I did not buy or give out any candy this year, in anticipation of a BO win. I also plan to cut down on some of my charitable contributions too, especially the ones that go outside the US to needy people there, I guess I will have to be more picky with my money since we will get our taxes hiked. No more money out to the homeless either, since BO plans to support them anyway and pay for their gas and mortgages (oh he will probably give them some republican’s houses’).
immigrantchick on November 4, 2008 at 4:18 PM
Yes! There is a nice young black gentleman in Philly who will take your name, address, phone number and tell you the delivery date of the Benz to your home. Don’t worry, you will be able to pick him out of the crowd. He’s carrying a night stick.
Brat on November 4, 2008 at 4:19 PM
Nasty and scary, but better than the razor blades in carameled apples we used to get when I was a kid
DarkCurrent on November 4, 2008 at 4:19 PM
LMAO…R-A-C-I-S-T!!! ;-)
Liberty or Death on November 4, 2008 at 4:19 PM
Gotta admire your tenacity, Mark.
How many free Starbucks have you had today? I fear a crash soon.
BacaDog on November 4, 2008 at 4:20 PM
This womanis a jackass!
But the good news is that she’ll be investigated by the democrat attorney general and any and every little personal detail of her private life will be on display. Right? Joe the plumber isn’t the only one that will be targeted. She’s next – and that’s the price you pay for being a jackass!!!!!/s
wise_man on November 4, 2008 at 4:20 PM
Even still, Halloween is a very strange holiday where kids are expected to go to random strangers houses and ask for candy. The rest of the year we teach them the opposite.
But I’m sure I have a warped perspective on the whole thing. I was raised in a fairly strict household and only went trick or treating once. Every other year it was a “Fall Festival” held on November 1st, lest there be any confusion, which of course there was, because in every way except for the date it was a Halloween festival.
Esthier on November 4, 2008 at 4:20 PM
Shhhhhh!!! Not so loud.
barry norris on November 4, 2008 at 4:20 PM
I think she did it just to get on TV.
Brat on November 4, 2008 at 4:20 PM
You are the kind of Republican that puts Republicans in jail. Shun yourself, you philistine.
anti-boomer on November 4, 2008 at 4:20 PM
Come on guys did she really hurt anyone and yes I have two children but I thought it was funny. Like someone else said, they should have sent their kids back and had them tell her I will vote for you if you will give me some candy!
Texas Dude on November 4, 2008 at 4:21 PM
Had it been a Barry Soetoro supporter this would have gone largely ignored.
long_cat on November 4, 2008 at 4:21 PM
The One will make it rain candies from the sky soon anyway so no worries.
LOL…..candy AND a mercedes.
GinaE on November 4, 2008 at 4:21 PM
She could have been cool and given out great candy with McCain/Palin stickers, buttons, somethings attached. Instead she makes her side look like curmudgeon meanies
darcee on November 4, 2008 at 4:21 PM
Mmm, mumph mmm mupmh muphm.
davidk on November 4, 2008 at 4:21 PM
Rightwing chicks are the dumbest people on the internet.
barry norris on November 4, 2008 at 4:22 PM
Um, did that guy really have an Obama cut out? COME ON. And, dumbass, was that “peace sign” just a secret alliance association for the New Barack Obama Civil Defense. The “peace sign-American Chicken Sign” has three legs.
As far as the woman. Get over it, go to another house, and STFU! I’m angry. Tired of the welfare crowd crying to the media.
HornetSting on November 4, 2008 at 4:22 PM
Which is exactly what Sarah Palin did with the likes of Ted Stevens, and they deserved every bit of it.
Parties don’t mean anything. Principles and ideals do.
MadisonConservative on November 4, 2008 at 4:22 PM
False Flag?
Kaptain Amerika on November 4, 2008 at 4:22 PM
Every block has a mean nut. Good grief. No news night wherever this is?
If she was an Obama supporter and a Black Panther on her porch, it would be OK.
Hening on November 4, 2008 at 4:22 PM
Stingy yes….but…
it’s a crime now not to give candy to kids, for whatever reason? Note how the very liberal fox 2 station in the detroit area makes damn sure everyone knows the womans name and where she lives. Gotta have the black panthers fix ‘er up I guess, eh?
It’s my right to do as I please with what I have, it’s as simple as that, no matter the reason. This is why my favorite pharmacy (small business with 15 employees) just closed their doors this week. He saw Obama’s writing on the wall and sold out while he could.
Expect a LOT more of this…and no amount of black panther drooling is going to ‘fix’ the situation.
Spiritk9 on November 4, 2008 at 4:23 PM
The woman is an unpleasant idiot but why is this news on election day?
sharrukin on November 4, 2008 at 4:23 PM
Two things…
First this is not a xerox posting site. You have posted this on most every other blog and post…knock it off.
Second: Turn off the caps and the bold, if it is a good post we will read it.
Please, respect HotAir, don’t abuse it.

For a leftwing metrosexual mesomorph you don’t fair too badly yourself on the stupidity meter, Barry.
ManlyRash on November 4, 2008 at 4:23 PM
too true. it doesn’t have to be that way. The militia should protect people like this.
anti-boomer on November 4, 2008 at 4:24 PM
Ahh, the strains of inspiration. I agree with your sentiments and am hoping for a McCain win. I reserve the right to accept the possibility of a loss though . . . with my trigger finger firmly locked on my buddies Messrs. Smith & Wesson.
JonPrichard on November 4, 2008 at 4:24 PM
Not a class act. We have our share of loons too, sadly.
jbtripp on November 4, 2008 at 4:24 PM
Another instance for M. Malkin to file under “Mercedes logo used instead of peace sign”
Brat on November 4, 2008 at 4:24 PM
Children need to learn. She could have looked into each kid’s candy bag and said. “You have too much, you don’t get any.” They’re kids and since a spanking will get a parent in trouble, this is what is left. One year my sister did not want to go trick or treating, she said it was too childish – she was at that pre-teen “age.” Well, I still had to share when I got back.
Pelayo on November 4, 2008 at 4:24 PM
Dude, you’re lucky. They bus kids into my development. No kidding. We spend big bucks on candy! However, it’s worth every penny and I have no problem with all the kids coming here.

TheBigOldDog on November 4, 2008 at 4:16 PM
All the kids from Juarez come up here in the backs of old pickups, Escalades, Hummers, you name it and its a big party, with hundreds of kids. We bought over 20 pounds of candy and most of it was gone by 9 PM.
I went out trick or treating with my little daughter and her friend and the girls came back with buckets full of candy.
The pediatric dentists in Juarez will be very busy!
Dia de los muertos, you know…
