Literally. A woman in West Virginia and a man in Wisconsin have quit their jobs at call centers rather than read a script that included the message: "Hello, I'm calling for John McCain and the RNC because you need to know that Barack Obama has worked closely with domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, whose organization bombed the US Capitol, the Pentagon, a judge's home, and killed Americans."
The Wisconsinite had read negative scripts about Obama before as part of the job, but drew the line at that script, choosing joblessness and a clean conscience over being a purveyor of incendiary lies.
Not much of a choice, that.
