YellowLinesandArmadillos Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 He had an Obama bumper sticker on his car. The guy is harmless, yet some idiot decided to vandalize his car in Connecticut. This is politics, not war... if you guys want to continue act that way in the real America, sign up and go to Iraq where there is plenty of unjustified violence, go for it. If you don't have that much guts, show up on a local hockey rink... and view my moniker. Cut out the crap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UConn James Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 If you think that's bad, you should see what we do to people with Syracuse University stickers! Whoever was stupid enough to park that thing on campus, and then, during basketball season, and then the week we were playing them.... well, I don't think they'll ever be doing that again. (Note: I was not party to the destruction of the vehicle, nor do I condone such activity --- just saw the results as I was walking to my car after a night class.) Politically, tho, up here in NE, it'd usually be the other way around if/when stuff like that does happen. Have heard from relatives around the state of cars with 'W' stickers being keyed, tires spiked or deflated, etc. That phenomena does seem to be confined to cities and large towns rather than suburbia and the sticks. Out here the most I've heard of is the taking down of lawn signs. Just isn't as fervent, at least in the Quiet Corner and even up into Mass.

So it's ok to vandalize someone's car just because of a Syracuse bumper sticker or more on their car? This is the stuff that makes sports seem stupid.

Sign stealing and defacing is harmless, but a rock is another. But the stuff lately reminds me of the Bobby Knight firing at Indiana, when despite the guy being a fink, though a great strategist, it was time for him and his temper and ego to go, his supporters were calling in death threats and acting out because they were not getting their way. The LW crazy anarchists in Seattle are the worst with the World Bank crap, but it is the same mentality and the McCain's camp seems to be playing up the jealousy and fear angle demonizing the other side, making it okay to attack them. Despicable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABills Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 It goes both ways. You've actually had liberal groups attack Palins motorcade in the last couple of weeks, of course the mainstream media doesn't support her, so they don't report it. Or what about the groups that assaulted the police and supporters in Minn, during the RNC. they physically attempted to storm the proceeding, and injuring several police, and staff in the process, hence all the teargas. The obama groups actually did quite a bit of damage over the weekend here in VA, damaging numerous homes and businesses because they had Mccain signs up. Quite a few houses where sprayed painted with Fuvk mccain, or various other profanities. Of course the media also reported that several folks had obama signs stolen or torn down. We all know having your sign stolen is the same as having several thousand in damage done to your house or business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know having your sign stolen is the same as having several thousand in damage done to your house or business. If I remember correctly there was a guy painting a hammer and sickle on Dem signs in Alexandria when I was there and another with a pick-up truck who just went around collecting Dem signs, he was caught and I think had to pay a $50 fine, he laughed and kept doing it. But it is the physical violence that I was referring to and I don't think that is appropriate. Paint can be washed off, signs replaced. Keying shouldn't be tolerated, though I have seen quite a bit of that lately and it would be hard to catch. Just stop it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olivier in france Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 It's something that is really surprising for an european visting the US during a campaign: All those signs on cars, lawns.... Political opinions are things we don't share as much as you do in America... We keep things more private in Europe... I'm not sure anyway i want to know who my neighbors are voting for...

John Adams Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 If your car gets bombed because you put a bumper sticker on it, it's on you. No crime. No police report. No insurance. You're just a buttnugget. It has nothing to do with free speech--the government isn't locking you up for your bumper stickers--it has everything to do with bumper-sticker people being douches. Doesn't matter what the topic is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YellowLinesandArmadillos Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share Posted October 27, 2008 I love the hypocrisy of the left. Actually I didn't, others did, but I laughed and yes I was insensitive, get over it. In my younger days, GT was the enemy, no matter what, no holds bar. Ewing took down the Pearl, and the Pearl got up and punched him in the Nuts and dropped him. It is college BB, get over it. Makes politics look tame.

Are you just assuming this because it makes a nice rant? Maybe it was an Obama supporter who was upset that they couldn't afford a car themselves and thought your cousin should have spread his wealth around instead of buying a car. Why should he have a car if others can't afford it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
