So sleazy that three dozen telemarketers walked off the job today in Indiana, rather than read the script that the McCain campaign had given them:
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.
Now, if only these people, who took a real risk with their jobs, would get the same kind of attention as that “plumber.”
