i would rather quit than lie about obama - GoFuckYourself.com

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.

They're paid to do their job, not take a stand. Would you pay someone to not do what they were hired to do because they didn't want to do it, for whatever reason?

They're private employees, not drafted government workers. I don't see refusing to campaign for a candidate for pay as courageous or taking a brave stand, it's simply a personal decision.

I'm an idiot because I didn't read between the lines and think "well, maybe this is what he meant"? Read the sentence. It's not my place to put words in his mouth. If he wanted to communicate what YOU think he was trying to say maybe "I hope it pays off for them." would have been a more accurate statement.

You don't consider talking shit about Obama campaigning for McCain? I do.

"Some three dozen workers at a telemarketing call center in Indiana walked off the job rather than read an incendiary McCain campaign scriptattacking Barack Obama, according to two workers at the center and one of their parents."

spacedog · 10-27-2008, 05:11 PM

The reason and FACTS for the statements made in those calls are in reference to Obama's voting record on crime bills.

Obama voted NO on extending the death penalty to include Gang murders.

Obama voted against a proposal making it a criminal offense for convicts on probation or on bail to have contact with a street gang.

On a 1999 vote making adult prosecution mandatory for aggravated discharge of a firearm in or near a school, the senator voted “present.”

And in 2001, Obama voted “present” on a bill that would increase penalties for trafficking in Ecstasy and other designer drugs.

Senator Obama’s record on crime. It’s very, very weak when you look at many of the votes he cast in the Illinois State Senate, as well as in the United States Senate.

As far as protecting children, it refers to;

In 2001, Obama refused to support a bill restricting 'adult use' establishments by prohibiting locations of such establishments within 1000 feet of schools, parks, places of worship, preschools, day cares and other residential areas.

The articles related to this story conveniently fail to mention that the people whom walked off the job are all Obama supporters.

AmeriCall is a call center paid by various companies, corporations, etc that is hired to conduct calls, take survey's etc.. AmeriCall is NOT a McCain support organization.. AmeriCall was HIRED by the campaign because Indiana does not allow robocalls. The people whom walked off only did so because they're Obama supporters and nothing more!

Conveniently the articles also fail to include the entire script of the calls and puts their article out of context to distort the real truth.

If I think back to why I left, the problem was resolved, the person got paid, and the affiliate program changed their stance and terms. Seems like maybe it worked, but, being the dumbass that you obviously are, that little detail probably didn't get picked up by you.

Maybe it worked? You think the affiliate got paid because YOU swore off GFY?

Besides wasn't it disgust with the mods for deleating the thread the reason you cited for leaving? Is the thread back or is GFY still burying what went down?

You have a funny way of deciding what things should mean. I take things literally. Please explain the hidden meaning to me, or what "maybe" they meant.

Hmm, I seem to remember leaving because they were supporting a program that stole from an affiliate. Since that program no longer steals from affiliates, that is no longer true. Again, do you need pictures? Cuz, I am getting really tired of having to explain these simple concepts to you, eventually, you're going to have to be able to think on your own.

So you're telling me you don't know the difference between campaigning for someone, and reading a campaign script as part of a job?

I can't help you, I feel as though I have failed you, but sometimes, you just have to let go.

I will bump ya since you got ignored.. However, I knew that AmeriCall is a paid company and that doesn't mean they support McCain.

So are you going to list what he did vote for and/or what mcCain didn't vote for in the same related fields?

I'm sure if we look those bills up we will find plenty of stupid loop holes (which he is very against) and lots of 'extra goodies' that don't apply to the actual bill.

The program stopped stealing, GFY did not stop supporting their theft. Two different things and the one you supposedly took the mighty stand against was GFY, not the program.

I'm not fucking around searching for it. I can only paraphrase but your post was to the effect that you wouldn't support a board that supported theft. If I'm wrong post a link to your "I'm out of here" thread and I will apologize.
