I've told this story before, but back when I was canvassing for the DNC in 2004, I went out one morning to the farmer's market and some of the canvassers from my office were there doing some street canvassing to make up for missed days. As a joke, I walked up to them and said, "Tell me something, why do you Democrats hate America..." and just started haranguing them with Fox news talking points. After a minute or so, people started peeling off from the crowd and angrily approaching me saying, "That's not true!" I turned it into a three way argument between me, my canvassers, and the passers, and after a bit I sneaked away, leaving the passers talking to the canvassers.

When I talked to them later, the canvassers said they immediately said, "that was my boss." Frigging liberal canvassers and their moral rectitude! There's money to be gotten from angry lefties!
