Couldn't beat her argument with the facts? Felt like just skipping to a random beat down? And this was a family member? Nice. Do us all a favor and stay away from public places.

Last Christmas, when talk for some reason turned to politics/Obama, I said that I voted for him in a pretty flat tone, not trying to make a point either way. My aunt was like "DID YOU GET THAT CHANGEY THINGEY???" really loud. That's kind of what this reminds me of. My aunt has no idea, but that's likely the closest she's ever come to getting roundhouse kicked right in the fucking jaw.

I don't personally know of anyone that doesn't like Obama for a political reason other than he's black. I'm sure there are some out there (I hope), I just don't personally know any. He's a Democrat, [...]

Down here in Jesus-Rupublicanstan both sides of my family are old republican racists, yet somehow my mother and father broke free and taught me to think for myself. My father's brother and sister and my mother's sister are the worst. They bombard everyone with emails slamming Obama, and don't even try to hide that they're racists. I usually ignore them, but one rubbed me the wrong way and I replied with facts making them look like the racist bigot they are. I got a few replies telling me I don't belong in the family and never to talk to them again, and I got a few replies thanking me for standing up to the crap spewing. Fuck 'em, I don't want to be related to people like that anyway.
I don't vote one party, I think for myself and find the one that is closest to my views. It usually comes down to one or two issues that divide the two, and it pisses me off that I pretty much only have two choices."You can either want something to be true, or you can want the truth. Pick one." - Mr. Diety

Why what's the point? Conservatives will never let the facts stand in the way of what they believe. Has Obama been doing a good job? No. Then again he inherited the biggest mess in American history as well, so cut the guy some fucking slack, he's just a man, not a miracle worker.
No where in my comment did I express political affiliation. In fact, I don't care either way about Presidents Obama or Bush. My point was the fact that this person would immediately resort to physical violence without even expressing the difference of opinion with one of his own family members.
Next time, please take a moment and actually read what someone says rather than jump to conclusions.
Have a nice night.
I agree that wanting to hurt a family member was a bit much but I think the guy needs to be given the benefit of the doubt.
How do you reason with someone who loudly and obnoxiously spouts off a taunt that we have all heard ad nauseam for the past two years? I can't imagine that anybody else wouldn't feel frustrated and angry in that situation.
