That photo became famous when one of my distant coworkers shared it via email at work.

It was all over national news and all of us got warned not to send personal emails, especially political ones, from work. If you work for the State, all your emails are public record and people (especially reporters) can and do get access to them and search through them looking for dirt. All you have to do is formerly request any emails (even if you don't know any of the people or their names) and you can read them.

We had to sign all this stuff with warnings after that incident.

100% guarantee it was an Obama supporter that got offended, reported it to some level of news media hoping to get the email sender in some serious trouble. You know, being open minded and tolerant and all.

Not speaking about yourself, I presume?

You seem to have great confidence in the veracity of your stereotyping? You taking bets, 10,000 to one odds?

And, because I have great confidence in my stereotyping of Utahn right-wing nutcake Bogley posters, let me help you out, since I know there are no 4-syllable words in your vocabulary:

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/veracity
Veracity:
Noun[edit]

veracity (countable and uncountable, plural veracities)

1. (uncountable) Truthfulness
2. (countable) Something that is true
3. (uncountable) Accuracy or precision
4. act of being exact and accurate.
5. correctness and carefulness in one's plan of action.

stereotyping

Verb[edit]

stereotyping

1. Present participle of stereotype.

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/stereotype#English

Verb[edit]

stereotype (third-person singular simple present stereotypes, present participle stereotyping, simple past and past participle stereotyped)

1. (transitive) To make a stereotype of someone or something, or characterize someone by a stereotype.

And what if it is an Obama supporter who complained?

Whatever the slant of the political content, in a State agency, using State resources, there should be an apolitical climate. (ahem), a climate without politics. State employees are allowed to have private email accounts, and if they want to propogate whacko right- or left-wing political fantasies they are free to do so using their private email accounts on their own computer.

What part of that is so hard for you to understand?

Oh, and here's another surprise for you: Obama won, Pallin lost. I realize the news may have not reached your corner of Utah yet...

Everybody is entitled to their own political opinions. That is one of the great things about this wonderful nation we live in. If you can handle a few gibes from "right wing nutcake bogley posters" without getting your panties in a twist, then I'm sure everyone else can handle your left wing nutcake posts as well. But insulting Sombeech will not be appreciated much by people on these forums. From all the hard work he does to keep this awesome site up and running he definitely deserves more respect from you than that.

I am not insulting , I am insulting all right-wing nutcake Bogley posters. I would not be so petty as to insult only one person.
