Why politics should never be discussed with someone you don't know

Today at work I was verbally attacked...this was the conversation:
(yes, I wrote it down right after it happened so I could tell you all, and I put it in patriotic colors for your enjoyment)

old man: who are you voting for? have you decided yet?

me: yes, I'm voting for Obama.

old man: now why would you do a cotton-pickin thing like that? do you have a reason?

me: yes, I have lots of reasons

old man: okay, name 2

me: mainly, I'm voting for him because I believe him when he speaks

old man: oh so you're voting for him because he's a good orator

me: I believe him. when McCain speaks, I don't believe him.

old man: it's amazing how many people believed Hitler.

me: ...see, this is why you shouldn't talk politics

old man: (interrupting) no, no, no. have you read up on it?

me: yes, I've followed the entire election

old man: really?

me: yes

old man: the news is so biased

(I nod)

old man: it is, don't you think?

me: definately.

...

old man: did you think OJ was innocent?

me: no.


The end. (This is Jesse, by the way)

Wow, he was going to make you agree with him no matter how many off the wall questions he had to ask first. Did he really compare Obama to Hitler? Did he try to tell you that Obama is Muslim?

Yet I bet he was voting for McCain just because he's "republican."
