You can stay classy but still get his goat. Everyday on your Facebook status, post 109...108...107 etc. Update it each day so it stays current with how many days left until election day. Then, election night, after Obama has lost, put a smiley face as your status.

Simple but devastating.

I live in a small town area where everybody knows and/or is related to everyone else. Several times on Facebook, when replying to a political question posted by a friend of mine who is a local schoolteacher, two brothers who are flaming liberals would post their snarky remarks. They eventually took to raking me over the coals and you could just see the Alinsky tactics in everything they wrote. They would start out calmly enough but would be ridiculing me in a very subtle way and get more and more worked up about it, while I always remained calm. The very last time we interacted, the one who is a college professor got so worked up, he berated the mutual friend for 'my intolerence' and insisted she unfriend me! He failed to see the irony, I'm sure.

I used their own tactics on them, naming them the 'Doobie Brothers' as everyone knows they are potheads. The name has stuck. :)

I would ignore it for the most part while making my position clear.

There is no percentage in fighting with family.

Lead by example.

Oddly, my biggest familial nemesis has become quite tame over the years as I wont lower myself to her level of debate.

I wont get into fisticuffs with family over this stuff.

Who knows? she might actually get that I am not a pig that hates the little guy at some point.

BTW, I have never seen anyone sneer at the little guy like her.

I use my facebook to report on Obama. I usually don’t make commentary...just report. “Obama just played his 100th round of golf” “The Obamas just went on their 17th vacation” Lots of people who watch MSM are completely unaware about the activities of the Obamas. It is not in your face but it does plant a seed.

I say ignore him for the most part and give him a little pat on the head now and again, without being condescending, just to let him know you’re aware he’s still alive. Some people can’t be reached, walk away.

Take him off your Christmas card list

Speaking of Christmas card list's, I really hate those Blanket Chirstmas letters.

You know. The ones where they are all like we are so blessed. I became a PHD and Bob, is now VIP at Green Corps.
Little Suzy is going to be a corporate lawyer and Johnny is well on his way to establishing his veterinarian practice...God Bless You all and Happy Holidays.

MY Father would always read those and laugh his ass off! WTF Who do they think they are fooling?!! We know these people!! LOL

But we never said a bad word in public, and they were invited over for dinner.

Good luck

All I can say to you is HOO RAH!

It really is amazing how this happened so fast. Those people worship obama. I know one who was probably the first person I heard use the “n” word and is one of the biggest racists I know. Until obama got elected. Now, because I hate obama he started calling ME a bigot. And another says this site is racist and defriended a relative and told the relative she wasn’t a Christian because she reads stuff on freerepublic. That’s how much they worship obama.

Just remove him from your newsfeed. You don’t have to unfriend. I have the same problem. But seriously, dude, as long as he’s not posting that stuff on YOUR page, you really have nothing to bitch about.

It’s a free country (or supposed to be) which means he is free to be an Obama tool if he wants.

I’m sure my anti-Obama posts on my page annoy the hell out of my sister, who is not only a supporter, she’s actively involved in his campaign.

Twitter makes you hate people you don’t know. Facebook makes you hate people you do know. Cancel both and then donate to FR- that’s gonna be my approach.

I know a guy who lives with his little sister and her half black kids as boarders in some old disabled lady’s house. They all vote obama and love him to death. Even the land lady. But that old SOB calls the kids “the N*ers” to their faces. He won’t use their real names.

That’s an obama voter for ya.

Hi there!

The following link is for your edification as well as for your poorly, misinformed relative.

Note: these fellows at the Ulsterman Report are very, very accurate. I think after reading this you will recognize what a great many Freepers have already surmised.

What you said. Kicked my last lib “friend” to the curb in 2008. Met up with him and a long time buddy who started and runs his own biz. Libpuke started spouting his leftist stupidity. Made my good friend so mad he left.

So I spent the next 3 hours humiliating him and his stupidity. Brutally. I rarely do that. It wasn’t a fair fight. I didn’t care. He got very upset. Tried to contact me after to say he was hurt but “understood” because I was going through some tough times. I said wrong, I meant every word, you’re a moron, never speak to me again.

Felt good. And while he’s tried to contact me, I haven’t responded. Screw him!

@ MALCOLM X: BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY (4:15)

You really need to start at 3:48. To fight whoever gets in our way.

I’d tell him that the grossest thing in the world to you is communism. Tell him if he sends you anything else promoting the communist for president, you will have to block him. Tell him other relatives feel the same way about being dragged through the mud of his radicalism.

I can’t stand communists. :)
