Do you get this bumper-sticker?

[uppityperson]

1. Could go either way, but probably "remember cheney's 'so' and vote for someone who cares"

But it could also say "look at me, I'm an asshole 'cause I think Cheney is funny. yuk yuk." What's your take?

[Redstone]

2. Yup. Impossible to be sure of which it is, at least for me.

5. i am with yawl. would suggest.... this is

what we had. lets get something different 2008. but the repugs too stupid, i could see them using it as a campaign comment

[uppityperson]

6. you posted

an anti-gun thing. And off they went.

[Redstone]

12. Oh, didn't "they." Especially the ones who don't like me, so they'll say any stupid shit

that comes to mind in one of my threads, just to try to piss me off.

But you know what I learned a long time ago? That the best ways to frustrate someone who's trying to pick a fight with you, is to refuse to give them one.

Works every time.

21. Yup,

I created an accidental firestorm over marriage in GLBT and some people there wanted a pound of my flesh. I just let it die. It was and is an unwinnable argument, anyway.

30. A quick Olive Garden recommendation... create my storm. That was before I learned to walk away...

Oh, there have been others, but I'm too disgusted to enumerate them.

However, the topics do seem to repeat themselves -- the target is a racist, or a cult member, or not properly educated or sensitive in the "norms" of other cultures, etc.

[tavalon]

34. Olive Garden?

I'm a wee bit confused.

[Redstone]

36. You may not believe this, but it's true: DU forums have had angry meltdowns

over such seemingly-uncontroversial subjects as The Olive Garden.

And, I kid you not, fried chicken.

It really has happened.

Redstone

[tavalon]

39. I just cannot imagine!

Or rather, I can. Only too well.

[Radio_Lady]

32. A wave for Redstone here...

:hi: good buddy...

[Redstone]

37. Thank you, m'dear.

Redstone

[devilgrrl]

7. My take is...

that things in this country have gotten so ridiculous that people feel as if they have no power to change anything anymore. No matter what.

[Radio_Lady]

31. Say WHO? 2008...

I have no idea.

[Liberal_in_LA]

3. Is it a dem sticker... meaning the nominee is unknown??????

[MrCoffee]

4. I have no idea what that bumper sticker means.

:shrug:

[devilgrrl]

8. It's a rip on Cheney's "So?" and McCain's "there will be more wars..." crap

eom

[MrCoffee]

16. ah. well, maybe a bit esoteric, then.

but on the other hand, what do i know?

[seabeyond]

9. devil, i want a "footprint of the american chicken hawk" bumpersticker..... except in thought

i might get beat up for it and i am a girl.... i dont like getting beat up. lol. i like that. i want a sticker of that. it is very good.

[tavalon]

19. I've worn the Friendly Fascism t-shirt for quite a while now (yes, I wash it between wearings)

and haven't had a problem. Then again, I don't live in Texas anymore. God, I love saying that! I could say that a million times and it wouldn't get old. I DON'T LIVE IN TEXAS ANYMORE!!!!!! Woot!

edited to add: Sorry, I didn't look at your profile first. Shuffling feet and apologizing, if you like Texas. I really should have looked at your profile first. My bad.

[seabeyond]

25. first i am laughing my ass off cause you didnt look at profile. my texas

son is reading this as i am cracking up about you not knowing i was IN (not from) texas. lol lol. and i am a laughin as i read further and finally i check your profile to see where you are

and man

i curse you out. seattle. my favorite place in the whole wide world that hubby said he would move to while he was courtin me 14 yrs ago before i realize TEXANS NEVER leave their friggin state.

[tavalon]

26. I was in Texas from 1983 to two years ago

I don't care to add that up. It's a really, really, really long time. I think I paid for all of my crimes and those of many of my family members in that, um, purgatory. Anyway, I spent six years shuttling back and forth between Texas and here, before finally getting it together to move her.

Come on up, anytime love. I'll be happy to extend Texas hospitality to a fellow exile.

[seabeyond]

27. oh my. oh my. i started adding how long i was here, over 15.... and i lost my breath

i am hyperventilating, grabbing my hubby, heart palpitating and i say..... how long do i have to live here to become a texan, afraid the answer might be twenty years

never baby, he says.... you will NEVER be a texan

oh, lordy, breath out. good. lol

maybe some day i too will have put in my time.

[tavalon]

28. Yep, I was never, ever a Texan, just trapped there by circumstance

some of my own making, some not. My now ex-hubby (amicable) is still in Texas, though he and his current wife dream of Seattle. Honestly, I'm not sure he'll ever leave, poor guy. At least he lives in Austin now, that is the only thing that made my last six years there tolerable.

[seabeyond]

29. so, .... you are sayin i have to divorce hubby. k. gotcha, wink. lol n/t

[tavalon]

33. No, no, no! LOL

That had nothing to do with it and I was still in Texas a decade after we split up. No, you need to drag hubby et al., up here many times until they get the bug.

[seabeyond]

35. you're funny. thanks. n/t

[tavalon]

10. I have the greatest t-shirt from you

This is too cryptic, though. To the wonks, it is clearly a blanket condemnation of the party that spawned one of the most evil people on this earth, but the people who watch Dancing With the Stars will likely see it as a statement on apathy with the political choices in 2008. Too bad, because it is incredibly biting and apropos.

[tavalon]

11. I made the assumption that you created this

Is that correct? If only his comment had been played over and over and over like Rev. Wrights comments - So? would have been seared into the public mind and there would be no question about what this is about. Too, too bad.

[devilgrrl]

14. Yeah, Wright's comments were out there weren't they?

:sarcasm:

BTW, that guy didn't say anything that wasn't true or nearly as outrageously repugnant as Fred Phelps or Pat Robertson.

Yes, I came up with this :shrug: I just thought I'd run it by everyone.

[tavalon]

17. I have your Friendly Fascism t-shirt so I'm a big fan

I just think this time around, you aimed too high (an easy mistake to make, what with Obama treating us like adults and all. It's contagious to think that the average person might, you know, think) and the average person sadly won't get it. They should, Goddess knows, but if they did, we wouldn't have such a monumental problem.

[Ichingcarpenter]

13. I don't like it

SO!?


Some people would think that the users is apathetic about 2008

[devilgrrl]

15. Why shouldn't one be apathetic about 2008?

eom

[tavalon]

18. This is why

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_9al4IQOhk

And that's all I'm saying about that because we are GD.

[devilgrrl]

20. That is fine but...

I'll vote that way but you know full well what the MSM is going to subject us to.

It's hard not to be cynical

[Ichingcarpenter]

22. Cynical is not the same as Apathetic

I'm cynical, but using SO in that context denotes apathy like Cheney, not cynicism

[tavalon]

24. Oh, Cheney cares, not about you and me, but he cares

He's the President. He is drunk on power and he doesn't want his supply to dry up.

[tavalon]

23. Damn hard, I'll grant you that

But I'm at the max dose for my antidepressant so I need to make sure not to go down that specific road. Call it mental hygiene, if you will.

[kentuck]

38. Someone wants Cheney in 2008

would be my guess? So?
