Revolting bumper sticker I saw today.
It was the letter W and it was at least twelve inches high by twelve inches wide (across the top) and it was red, white and blue, with stars and stripes like a flag would look if you cut one up into the letter W. I saw it from a distance, but I'm assuming it was probably magnetic. Has anyone seen one of these before? All I could do was to shake my head and say "what a dumbass". (Followed of course by a bunch of other cuss words.)

2. My response would have just been a laugh...
If his bumper sticker got you to cuss and get irritated, then you've done exactly what he was hoping you would do by putting that on his car.

4. Yeah, I've seen "W - The President" stickers...
...that take up the entire back window of the car.

But "VIVA BUSH" is still the worst of the worst. Like he's some kind of two-bit Central American dictator we're supposed to worship.

6. Actually you need to tell the driver that he put his sticker (magnet)
upside down.
It's really supposed to be an "M" for moran.:rofl:

8. I haven't seen that one in particular...
but I did see a station wagon recently adorned with flags and ribbons with a big 'ol "WE LOVE OUR PRESIDENT!" written on the back windshield. I pondered heading into the drug store to buy a magic marker to write "You are idiots!" in response, but the happy, shiny, clueless family descended on the car, so "confrontation avoided."

I write on the glass of Freepmobiles all the time in dry-erase.

11. LOL...do you really? Good tip, BTW.
I don't normally go around writing on vehicles, but these idiots and their votes for Smirk are responsible for my brother and sister-in-law's brother getting sent to Iraq/Middle East and our families have had enough!!

14. That is awesome
I get so mad when people are parked stupidly. But I'm too nice to do real damage to the car, but dry-erase eliminates the damage part. I have a new goal in life, thank you OG.

15. OMG! The Bush FISH... what was that about idols and false gods?
Is Bush now the intermediary between the world of man and the world of the gods? Why not just call him a Pharoh and get it over with? Divine right included.

Religiously insane fruitcakes, all of them!

22. VIVA BUSH beats the Bush Fish, I think.
Literally translated, means "Long Live Bush" as if he's some kind of monarch.

23. Last night, I saw a very beaten Geo Metro plastered with Bush stickers.
Apparently, the driver used his tax "refund" to buy them all.

The ironic thing was that this was in Los Angeles.

25. It's okay, it really isn't a "W." They just had the "M" upside down.
bush is an all-American, red-white-and-blue bona fide moron, and so is anybody else who puts a bushit "W" on their vehicle.

Was it an American-made car?

26. These assholes should read Title 36, US Code, Chapter 10...
with amendments from 1994 and 1998. They scream about how much the Flag means to them, but desecrate it at every chance they get...:grr:

Here is a link to the US Code, i think everyone should read it, if for no other reason than to beat these assholes over the head with their insane shit:

http://www.hospitality-1st.com/PressNews/FlagCode.html

It also has recommendations as to how to act towards the playing of the National Anthem.

Few things irritate me more, than to see RW assholes desecrate our Flag by sitting their asses into flag motif chairs, farting all over the place from too much beer and hot dogs; or people that dress up as Flag draped pseudo-patriots...:grr: If I EVER thought of burning a flag, it would be one that some asshole dressed himself in, while he/she was still in it!!!!!!

28. While that bumper sticker is awful......
Edited on Sun Jul-24-05 06:44 PM by TheCutter
I don't think I'll ever quite recover from one I saw last November:


"Osama for Kerry"


Unbelievable; prior to seeing it, I honestly didn't think anyone would be that stupid to actually put it their car (giant SUV in this case).

besides, the karma she was creating by going around pissing so many people off will catch up with her 'Security Mom' ass eventually.

31. I saw a better one
Driving just outside Parkersburg, WV we espied an especially nice, big pickup truck with the following painted across the width of its tailgate in huge white letters: BUSH SUCKS!

We gave the driver a thumbs up and he acknowledged our support. :)

Another DUer came up with that in the GD-P forum. I think it's BRILLIANT!

It's by Vinnie from Indy - http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x1953539

36. The Swatzika of the New American Century.
Kind of like the 1000 year reich.
People in this country have been scared and dumbed down to the level of Germans in the 1930's.
