Nearly got run off the road yesterday -- other driver didn't like my Obama sticker.
The challenged Republican bigots really do seem to be losing their shit.

This hillbilly/red neck/asshole/Republican driving a smashed up, rusted old pick up truck nearly side swiped me yesterday, and I believe it was intentional. He was screaming at us, giving us the middle finger salute at the same time. I slowed down and honked at him, but once he was in front of me I could see the "Bush Cheney '04," "W," and "McCain/Palin" stickers on the back of his truck.

We tried to get his tag number, but his truck was so dirty, and his rear bumper so bashed up, we couldn't read it. Shortly, he got into a left turn lane and turned left without using his turn signal, of course.

The right front tire on his truck was bent at a strange angle, I don't think it will make it very far. All of us in the car noted how typical: not only was he driving an unsafe, polluting vehicle without a properly displayed license tag, he was reckless, aggressive, and responsible for several moving violations.

Yet somehow I'm the one that's the problem. All because I have an Obama sticker on my car.

I think the Homeland Security report is more foretelling than we think. President Obama has only been in office for 2.5 months, has lowered their taxes, and they are already this angry. How long before they totally lose their shit? :shrug:

1. Who knows? Maybe he was a meth addict who bought the truck thirdhand.
Maybe he was on his way to his dealer to get a fix?

You're not the problem. He perhaps THINKS you are the problem, and that is HIS problem.

8. You know I was just thinking about stuff like this yesterday.
With all the tea-party nonsense, the wingnuts are getting all riled up. This is where the next Tim McVeigh will come from.

I say people, be careful out there. Sooner or later someone's going to get hurt. AndyA nearly got it yesterday. There's a reason I don't have political stickers on my car, considering where I live.

Yeah, it sucks, but we'll need to be more vigilant for the next few years.

12. I had a right wing co worker at work tell me today this recession is all
Obama's fault. I reminded him about what I told him before the election. How the republicans create a big fucking mess and when the people have enough, they elect a democrat to clean it up. Then just like always the cons that created the mess sit back on their big fat hemroid ass and point their shit stained fingers at the democrats!
