Rolling coal: Possibly the stupidest-ever form of political protest

[LuckyTheDog]

It’s ugly. It smells bad. It might even cause cancer. But, it’s done in the name of sticking it to the environmentalists, "libtards” and “Obamabots” who actually believe the scientific consensus about global warming – so hell yeah!

That’s the logic behind a right-wing fad called “rolling coal,” in which owners of diesel trucks modify them to emit clouds of filthy, black smoke.

"Gonna spend a couple grand to fix my truck so it makes stinky black smoke! Yup, that'll sure show 'em! Gonna put some truck-nutz on the back, too, an' a gun rack, an' my NRA sticker. Maybe one o' them decals with the kid peeing, too. Har, har. See, libruls? See what I done? My truck makes manly 'merkin black smoke and yer stoopid girly Prius don't make no smoke at all, so my truck must be better. Proves I'm a bigger man than you. And a patriot. Bet you don't even have no gun. Go back to Kenya, loser."

Confident that he's stuck it to the environmentalists, Cletus pulls his pants up over his paunch, climbs in his truck and rushes home, spewing black smoke, arriving just in time to open a beer and catch Sean Hannity's show.

8. All that $ & trouble to say FukU to an imaginary liberal citizen-enemy (citizenemy?)

is a sign of freaking derangement.

2. Brainwashing via mass media leads to these absurb and dangerous crimes. nt

3. How prevalent is this?

It is pretty interesting and almost too comical to believe ... so I'm wondering just how many 'coal rollers' there really are out there.

The other ironic thing about this is that I know several conservative Repuglicans that own Priuses -- you know they like to save money on gasoline, too.

Does anyone know specifically what these 'coal roller' conversion kits are called?
I'd like to check it out at see how much they really cost.

Got to agree with the Young Turks on this one -- just about the most moronic protest tactic I've ever heard about.

4. Not as prevalent as the DU threads about it.

[Nuclear Unicorn]

6. I think that happens a lot around here.

People / groups / causes I have never heard of not only come to my attention here on DU but become amplified to an astounding volume. More than these groups could muster on their own.

9. Its a shame.

The "rolling coal" assclowns are just looking for attention, and some DUers are helping them accomplish that.

11. it's all over facebook as well..

in fact, it's all over the interwebs. it's not a topic exclusive to DU.

5. The stupid runs clow and DEEP with these Goobers

Damn, if Obama would just come out and say he believes every man in America must do whatever possible to keep his penis intact...Sheeitt, I'd pay a dollar to see their reaction.

7. Trolling Coal or Rolling Troll? Can't decide...

the latter maybe yes?

10. the baggers entire raison d'etre is to piss off libs..

they don't care what it takes, even if it effects their lives negatively. for instance, these mouth breathers will be spending extra money on diesel, cutting sharply into the money they use to hoard ammo. but as long as somewhere, some liberal is pissed, then they've done their job.
