Dozens Of Call Center Workers Walk Off Job In Protest Rather Than Read McCain Script Attacking Obama
Some three dozen workers at a telemarketing call center in Indiana walked off the job rather than read an incendiary McCain campaign script attacking Barack Obama, according to two workers at the center and one of their parents.
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.

They are better than I, for my response would have been to make anti-McCain calls until someone found out and fired me. :P
"Hello, I'ld like to ask two questions;
How would you sleep at night knowing a mentally unstable, bitter old man has his finger on the nuclear button?
Howabout a fanatical, manipulistic, ego-driven, intellectually compromised political diva?"
I would have said "hi yeah I am calling from the McSame camp...McCain campaign and uh just wanted you to know that many of us here making these calls are disgusted by it so please do not vote for this fool" CLICK
=P
I remember reading a news story like this on CNN mobile last week, but involving a telemarketing firm in Wisconsin hired by GOP to conduct robocalls. Employees quit over the message they were required to disseminate.
I can't seem to be able to find this story on CNN web site now.
Here's a story about that :
