Just saw a bumper sticker that pissed me off
I was pulling out of CVS when I saw a bumper sticker on the back of an SUV (naturally) that said "Barack Hussein Obama - are you fucking kidding me?" Number one, I don't think that the f-bomb should be used at kid's eye level, where they can see it and say, "Mommy, what does F**K mean?"

I couldn't confront the owner, because I didn't know who he was. So, I came home and immediately donated $100 to Obama's campaign. That makes me feel MUCH better!

1. They're desperate.
When you compare the speeches this week from Grumpy McSame and Obama... I mean, how can one keep a straight face! That alone freaks them out. Plus, they see the Electoral Map not favoring their guy and they are freaking out of a ... Black Man!!! I mean, what will happen to all the white people??? :eyes:

2. The world sure has gotten a lot less formal.

I'm shocked by the stuff people wear/display in public.

3. He has every right to his opinion, but that's way over the top
From someone who has young children who can read, I certainly don't want my kids seeing that.

5. I've decided to seriously get in peoples faces from now on re; their stupidity
Why should I be compassionate and accepting when their stupidity causes me and the rest of the country problems?

6. I've seen it here too
But if you confront the owner, he/she will no doubt cite the 1st Amendment to you, not to mention tell you that "it aint yer car." (drawl pun intended) Donating is better.

7. Whenever they take the pain to quote his middle name
You know they are desperate.

There's no real need to read further than that.

President Obama. Get used to it. You'll be saying it for eight years.

Plus we should get our civil liberties back. Sweet!

8. Are you fucking kidding me? is what passes for a logical argument
on the Rethug side. In fact, it's one of the more intelligent ones I've heard. It's a complete sentence.

Along with, "I'm rubber. You're glue."

9. I suspect we will be seeing a lot of that and worse

11. With language like "fucking"
displayed in public, you could take the license plate number and report it to the local police. Kind of a nasty thing to do -- and it seems more a tactic a right winger or religious whacko might take, but if it really pissed you off....

12. It's illegal on license plates (at least where I live)...
...so it should be illegal to display the word on a bumper sticker.

And if any of you should confront anybody with a bumper sticker like that, ask them who named them. Sometimes, I wish old Barack had been given his mother's first name as his middle name.

Of course, the last two guys the Democrats fielded with the middle name "Stanley" didn't do that great.

13. You should print up the following and be ready to add it to his sticker:
"No, we're serious. Very serious."

14. I would have been tempted
To leave a note on his windshield to ask him how much he paid for his last tank of gas.

16. And their vote cancels out yours...
That's what kills me. You make an informed decision on your vote, and then someone else cancels it out because of his middle name.
