BayNews 9, 3/9 (Local Tampa, FL News)

A woman became a road rage victim Tuesday not because of the way she drove, but because of how she voted in the last presidential election.

...

Officers say Nathan Winkler, 31, saw a Bush-Cheney bumper sticker on Michelle Fernandez's car and showed her a sign of his own.

...

Fernandez eventually got away by hiding in a park. Officers traced Winkler's license plate to his Tampa home, where they found his handwritten message still inside the car.

It said, "Never forget Bush's illegal oil war murdered thousands in Iraq."

1. She is a right-wing thug. She is lying.

End of story as far as I'm concerned.

2. And he had to hide in a park? WTF? I just flip them the bird and

let them try to figure out if it's their driving.

[Stand and Fight]

6. She hid in a park to get away from him.

This lady's story sounds fishy to me, and his message was straight on target. This guy is simply amazing. He manages to chase her on foot, chase her in his car, and flash a dangerous message at her. This story sounds like hogwash to me.

9. I need to learn how to read better. n/t

3. Winkler doesn't sound like any of the lefties (* opponents) I know.

I wonder if this story is even true.

4. This part is interesting

Oh, here he is again, here he is again," Fernandez screamed. "I have my kids in the car. He's running after my car. He's in the middle of the street."

When the 911 operator asked, "Was that him blowing his horn at you," Fernandez responded, "No, I was just blowing a horn at somebody because I'm running stoplights and everything else to get away from him."

She's running red lights to get away from a guy who is chasing her on foot? This smells like bullshit to me...

5. maybe the bionic man is back

you're right - smells fishy

[Colorado Blue]

7. She has a very slow car.

[rzemanfl]

10. I say give her a traffic ticket or let me break traffic laws to get

away from Bush stickers and Jesus fish.

8. Nothing will happen to him...

As long as he remained silent. This shit happens all the time and when it is one driver's word against silence (or the other driver's word), there is really no case.

11. Like this would have been

written about if it were the other way around. They lie so much this isn't believable.

[Militant_Left]

12. This man should be commended for his actions...

our side needs more like him. Ask yourself this, do you know whose side you are on? Does anybody else?

We know whose side this guy is on, because he takes action and not words. What happened to the woman is nothing compared to the crimes of the people she has supported. She is guilty.

Don't be surprised to read more stories like this.

13. Perhaps I should have phoned 911 when the guy

in the parking lot pointed to my K-E sticker and called me some not-so-nice words as I stood there holding my 2-yr-old son?

This whole thing just sounds like crap to me. How does one hide in an open space like a park?

14. We are armed with pen and paper

and we are a dangerous bunch!!! What a bunch of nonsense.

15. Love that quote from tommy,I find my Kerry/ Edwards sign does it

16. Bush supporters tend to flip out alot.

They respond with exagerated emotion, fear and stunning mental contortions when confronted with the truth. It's remarkably similar to mentall illness.

Keep that in mind when dealing with working class republicans. They often explode or slip in to dangerous paranoid delusions when confronted.

17. OH THIS IS TOO FUCKING MUCH! She is one of those yellow ribbon

displayers who's afraid of their own shadows. If you put them in the field with a gun, they'd piss their pants and shoot themselves in the foot! She needs to be arrested for false reporting! LIAR!

[Ms. Clio]

18. I call bullshit--she couldn't drive to a police station

because she was afraid to stop?

She's just another lying rightwing hobag.
