    "My neighbors can know I'm a Democrat, I'm not sure I like that"

    Used to be, a guy didn't want his neighbors toknow he was a sex offender, or a felon newly released from jail.

    But now, something else is gaining in distastefulness.

    Is Your Neighbor a Democrat? Obama Has an App for That

    by Lois Beckett
    ProPublica, Aug. 3, 2012, 3:52 p.m.

    Curious how many Democrats live on your block? Just download the Obama campaign's new mobile app.

    The app, released last week, includes a Google map for canvassers that recognizes your current location and marks nearby Democratic households with small blue flags.

    For each targeted address, the app displays the first name, age and gender of the voter or voters who live there: "Lori C., 58 F, Democrat."

    All this is public information, which campaigns have long given to volunteers. But you no longer have to schedule a visit to a field office and wait for a staffer to hand you a clipboard and a printed-out list of addresses.

    With the Obama app, getting a glimpse of your neighbor's political affiliation can take seconds.

    While The New York Times dubbed the app "the science-fiction dream of political operatives," some of the voters who appear in the app are less enthusiastic about it.

    "I do think it's something useful for them, but it's also creepy," said Lori Carena, 58, a long-time Brooklyn resident, when she was shown the app. "My neighbors across the street can know that I'm a Democrat. I'm not sure I like that."

It does not exist so that the government can take your spear, your meat, and your woman because it knows better what to do with them." - Instapundit.com

    Probably the neighbors are right-wing fuckheads who think everyone who didn't vote Bush and isn't voting Romney is an enemy and ought to be killed.

    Or the woman who was quoted, is a leftist extremist like little booboo who knows down deep she made scads of wrong decisions and is embarrassed that normal people might find out.

    ...Or the woman who was quoted could be a time traveling communist who doesn't want anyone to know she is trying to deceive the Democrat party in order to cover up Obama's true origins as a Manchurian candidate backed by islamofascist commies who forge birth certificates, badly. She's working on orders from Joe Stalin himself, and can use the app to send information back in time to the Kremlin, circa 1950. She just criticized the app to provide cover.

    Once Sherf Arpaio discovers the true power of this nefarious app, Obama and the time travelling pinko will be arrested. The sherf will go back in time, bring back Stalin, and make him eat Bologna sammiches in a rilly hot tent while wearing offensively-colored jumpsuits for the rest of his life. Serves him right.

    personally speaking, i'd not like to get into a political argument with my neighbours. it's just not pleasant.you have to live beside these people so you may as well pretend to get on and political issues are very divisive. it's not worth it.

    I like how the demotards are concerned with the privacy of information


    Scandal? The government dispatched more firepower to arrest Nakoula Basseley Nakoula in Los Angeles than it did to protect its mission in Benghazi.
