The other day on the day of the Sign Bomb I was going out to put out my hand-made sign at the bottom of our property. (I live with my parents at the moment). My dad immediately attacked me verbally on what's he's heard about Ron Paul. Saying that a "vote for Ron Paul is a vote for the nazi party." I didn't have any time to correct his views nor did I want to get into it with him. So I went and put up the sign (which later mysteriously disappeared). :rolleyes:
Couple days passed and I talked about Ron Paul. I easily swayed my mother over by releasing little tidbits here and there, but what really sold her was homeschooling. My dad listens to Sean Hannity and Michael Medved almost religiously, because his job requires him to do nothing but drive a vehicle where he's usually listening to radio.
I asked my dad why he was against Ron Paul and why he thought he was part of a nazi party, and I wasn't surprised at his answer. Because "Hannity was slammin' Ron all the time." My dad, as an unintended consequence of the words of some jackasses, acted very hostile to me thinking I was part of the nazi party.
I put some Ron Paul slimjims on his computer keyboard today and he just came into my room and said "Well, Laura, I agree with his policies a lot.... I actually agree with them.... Too bad this guy doesn't have a shot in the world." My dad was embarrassed to admit this because I think he realized he was dead wrong after learning about Ron Paul.
When you have your own father accuse you of being part of the nazi party because some guy on the radio said something it's really damaging. But tonight gave me a shred of hope that these listeners and media-entranced people can be woken up. But, they need to do it in their own time.
