I saw a bumper sticker that really pissed me off today.
Edited on Wed May-12-10 08:35 PM by TheCowsCameHome
It was on a Chevy Denali, driven by preppy-looking clown who was leaving the local post office, and it read:

"Don't blame me - I voted for an American"

I've been seething ever since I saw it. Bumper stickers don't usually get to me, but this one did.

I hope his transmission drops out in the middle of a busy highway.

2. And John McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone!
I'm just sayin'.

Seriously, I would have helped you surreptitiously remove all the air from Preppy Clown's tires...

6. Why would you wish possible death on this person?
Edited on Wed May-12-10 08:29 PM by bigwillq
Because they don't support the candidate you did? :shrug: Because they're naive and misinformed? :shrug: Doesn't sound like a good enough reason to me.

Chill out, it's just a bumper sticker. They're free to put it on their car if they choose to. It's not a crime.

10. Well, that's a bit of a stretch.
And of course it's not a crime, and he has a right do what he wants with his vehicle. He can smear it with GOP crap until he can't see out the windows.

Haven't you ever seen something that rubbed you the wrong way?

13. Sure.
But I didn't wish death upon them as you eluded to. That was my really my only issue with the thread.

7. It is amazing how people are in terms of what they express
especially when it is stupid and racist.

If the RW continues their celebration of ignorance, bumper stickers like these will be the erudite quotes of the future. :(

And that's a scary thought.

9. Which "American?"
The one born in Panama or the one whose husband wants to succeed from the Union?

11. "Secede," friend.
And the irony there is that Alaska is just fine with taking federal dollars.

20. Thanks...

:blush:

I hope he "succeeds" with "seceding"

And the irony there is that Alaska is just fine with taking federal dollars.


According to the Tax Foundation, in 2005, Alaska received $1.84 in federal spending for every dollar paid in federal taxes.

It ranked no. 3.

16. Another bumper sticker
I thought was a bit outlandish, " November 20th 2009 a day of infamy"On a pickup truck in the lovely state of Arizona.
