Street Artist Proposes on Subway Signage
After reporting on such freaks of nature as black McCain supporters in NYC and, um, an immaculately conceived tomato, the Times has now discovered a pocket of "real America" right in the Socialist-Terrorist Obama Hussein hotbed of Park Slope! No less than four brownstones on one block of 11th Street are displaying signs for McCain, in a district that has just 51 Republicans out of 643 registered voters. 73-year-old Betty Donohue has lived there since '60s, when her block was mostly Roman Catholic: "'Now these professionals, they both work, they have nannies and their meals on wheels,” she said, using her favorite description of restaurant deliveries. 'But lovely people. To pay these prices, you aren’t getting riffraff.'" (Just elitists.) Donohue's anti-Obama neighbor Bob Olson says, "I’m a perverse kind of guy. I was going to put up a sign that said: ‘Nobama. Keep the Change.'"

When I first read "Out and Proud" in the headline, I thought they were gay and Republican. Not just Republicans.
#1- same thing. Republicans are closet gays who's feelings of angst from their christian parents made them how they are today.
Ha-ha, Bob Olson, you rapscallion! Had you put up that sign, it indeed would have been quite perverse! Your mastery of wordcraft is matched only by your rapier wit, you clever fellow!
Modern day republicans are wackos. Soon this country will hopefully be taken over by the young liberals.
everything's a smug joke to the republicans.
bob olson and his I'm a perverse type of guy. he's the type who looks for confrontation for the sake of confrontation. AKA Mr. Tough Guy.
I know a bunch of old fogies from Park Slope who are very conservative (older devout Catholics)..... Talking about Obama to them is painful and futile. Park Slope has not always been a liberal strong-hold, as you know.... there are still people kicking around from the 50's / 60's.
I would assume that people who live in Park Slope, own 3 million dollar brownstones, and do not raise their own children are republicans.
OBAMA WILL WIN!
I know exactly what you mean, Joclyn... but oddly the specific people i'm referring to raised their own kids and had blue collar jobs...
Definitely unexpected and closed-minded, Bozack! I wonder how they feel about the same-sex couples in their midst.
We have some people in Carroll Gardens with McCain signs on their windows too! What is the deal with that?
