Some three dozen workers at a telemarketing call center in Indiana walked off the job rather than read an incendiary McCain campaign script attacking Barack Obama, according to two workers at the center and one of their parents. Nina Williams, a stay-at-home mom in Lake County, Indiana, tells us that her daughter recently called her from her job at the center, upset that she had been asked to read a script attacking Obama for being "dangerously weak on crime," "coddling criminals," and for voting against "protecting children from danger." Williams' daughter told her that up to 40 of her co-workers had refused to read the script, and had left the call center after supervisors told them that they would have to either read the call or leave, Williams says. The call center is called Americall, and it's located in Hobart, IN. "They walked out," Williams says of her daughter and her co-workers, adding that they weren't fired but willingly sacrificed pay rather than read the lines. "They were told [by supervisors], `If you all leave, you're not gonna get paid for the rest of the day." The daughter, who wanted her name withheld fearing retribution from her employer, confirmed the story to us. "It was like at least 40 people," the daughter said. "People thought the script was nasty and they didn't wanna read it." A second worker at the call center confirmed the episode, saying that "at least 30" workers had walked out after refusing to read the script. "We were asked to read something saying [Obama and Democrats] were against protecting children from danger," this worker said. "I wouldn't do it. A lot of people left. They thought it was disgusting." This worker, too, confirmed sacrificing pay to walk out, saying her supervisor told her: "If you don't wanna phone it you can just go home for the day." The script coincided with this robo-slime call running in other states, but because robocalling is illegal in Indiana it was being read by call center workers. Representatives at Americall in Indiana, and at the company's corporate headquarters in Naperville, Illinois, didn't return calls for comment. source
That is pretty much the facts, I think most people would agree. Obama is "dangerously weak on crime," "coddling criminals," and for voting against "protecting children from danger." Throw in palling around with domestic terrorist William Ayers and spreading hate with Rev Wright. oh I almost forgot counterfeiting birth certificates.
Geez ! It is hard to believe that even you believe the stuff that you write. Who the hell in their right mind would be weak on crime ? Do you really think that Barack Obama wants more crime ? Come on man, don't you ever sit back and look at how stupid you sound ? If you are going to quote records and policies, PLEASE get it right and quote ALL of the issue not just select words from the paragraph that mis lead, like some kind of ransom note cut out of different magazines. You sound like the dumb asses that circulate fliers telling Democrats to vote on the 5th of November. It's not so sad that it's only republicans practicing voter tampering, and intimidation, but that the bone head tactics they come up with wouldn't even confuse The Three Stooges. Is this the education level of your party ?
Examples of these types of campaign excesses are exactly why so many have fled from McCain's campaign.
