HA! Finally got to confront a chickenhawk!!

[GaYellowDawg]

When I was driving back home today, I was worked into a bad mood because I was driving on fumes and was afraid I'd run out of gas. Of course, that meant that the car next to me had a Bush-Cheney sticker and a "W Still the President" sticker.

But the confrontation wasn't with him.

I pulled into the gas station, popped the card in, and started to fill up. Amazing how fast those numbers run nowadays. Anyhow, it was $31.50, the most by far that I've ever paid at the pump. $2.59 a gallon. I looked at the next guy over and said, "I can't believe I just paid $31 to put gas in my car." He grimaced and said, "I just passed $30 myself." I said, "well, I have one consolation. I didn't vote for the dumb ass that caused this." Then I heard the voice float over from the next pump over. From here on, my voice is blue, his red.

"Traitor."
"What's the matter, there, buddy? You enjoying your sticker shock from W ?"
"You're a traitor. You don't support the president during wartime."
"Hate to break it to you, bud, but it's a basic American right to disagree with any president, any time. Anyone who wants to dispute that right is the real traitor."
"Yeah, well, you're not a patriot."
"Excuse me? So you think you're a patriot?"
"Yeah, 'cause I support the president in wartime."
"So you support the war?"
"Yeah, I do."
"How old are you?"
"22."
"Oh, I'm sorry for your handicap."
"Huh?"
"I said, I'm sorry for your handicap."
""I don't have a handicap."
"Oh, you don't? Then why haven't you signed up for the war if you support it so much? I'll tell you why. You support the war right up to the point to where it's you that stops the bullet. You're a chickenhawk just like your president."
"Mutter, mutter."
"What was that? Bud, I just paid $31 for a fill-up, I'm ready to take it out of someone's ass, and my pacifism doesn't extend to Republicans just this second, so you want to step over here and repeat that?"

He turned his back at that point. I said, "Chickenshit." I'm pretty sure he heard me, but I know he didn't reply. Then I got in my car and drove off. I know, it was an immature thing to do... but it felt so good. And the guy who was standing between us was chuckling at the chickenhawk, although he did look a tad alarmed at the last couple of lines.

Edited for a typo

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

1. Immature? Perhaps.

But warranted. He earned it. After all, it was his mouth that started first. Where is it written that you have to take the guff of lUs3rZ like him?

[JohnnyBoots]

2. "You ever had your ass kicked by a liberal?" would have been

appropriate as well.

[walldude]

23. YUp.. I notice alot of these people

run around calling liberals pussies and wimps until they see one face to face. Just another form of chickenhawk.

[JohnnyBoots]

84. It has become a definite stereotype

[Roland99]

101. BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!

[immoderate]

3. Forgive me, but I loved it!

[cdb]

8. WELL PLAYED!! congrats! n/t

[annabanana]

4. that sounds very satisfying...

I'd have like to have seen his face when he realized that he didn't have a leg to stand on (oops.. maybe THAT was his handicap!?)

[eleny]

5. Life after the tipping point is a little bit sweeter

At one point, you would have been the minority of 3 people.

I've also noticed that my grocery expenses have taken a leap, too, btw. I almost always shop the sales and do very well. But even when I've saved between 20 and 30% on my bill, the total is a shocker. I'm the queen of buy one and get one free. But still, it's the price of delivery from farm or ranch to processing to grocery store.

[Nite Owl]

6. Good for you

I don't see it as immature really. It's time we start standing up for what we believe in stop with the smiles and politeness. Who knows maybe you planted a seed, maybe you got him to think. For sure he'll think twice before he opens his mouth with any of their we aren't patriotic stuff.

[raccoon]

44. What he said. nt

[KarenInMA]

7. it's NOT a war!! It's a "global struggle against violent exremeism".

Didn't he get the message?? He's going to bed w/o kool aid.

[adigal]

9. You brightened my night!!!

We have to stand up to these chickenhawks - although it is harder and harder to find anyone who will publicly support Bush, and I live in a very red part of NY state! People are embarrassed to say they still support him around here.

Great job defeating his absurd attitude - 22 years old, supporting the war, and standing in a gas station in the safety of the USA, filling up his gas tank. Hypocrite chickenhawk.

[trogdor]

81. I'm in Oneida County

That's pretty red. How red is your area?

[adigal]

104. Warren County - very red, yeech.

[ornotna]

10. immature, maybe

Fun to read, hell yes.
Good for you for putting that coward in his place.

[Inland]

11. "I just paid $31 for a fill up"

yeah, that's pretty much all it takes.

[Rude Horner]

12. You rock!

That was awesome! Sometimes ya just gotta rip into some moran, ya know?!

:headbang::toast::yourock:

[Evergreen Emerald]

13. Even just reading it was gratifying

So, I imagine it was even better in person.

[stepnw1f]

14. That Is What's Going to Change Things

There needs to be confrontation, and yes sometimes it takes what you did. Cuz things will get even worse if we wait for politicians.

I do not condone violence... I condone standing up for what you believe in and not worrying about things comming to blows. They need to know we are pissed and more than willing to confront them. They are living in a fantasy...

Time to burst their bubble. BRAVO!

[kiraboo]

15. I think I love you.

Gawd. I wish I could be that quick on my feet. An encounter like yours would cause me to be so immediately suffused with rage that I couldn't be coherent. I admire your talent. Keep speaking out.

[ChiciB1]

16. Naw... You Did Good & I Bet You Were In A Better Mood Too!

I have loads of bumper stickers on my car in a very Repuke county, and every time I get out of my car and see someone looking "off kilter", I give them a "I just DARE you stare"! If they keep looking at me without saying anything I just keep staring at them. I have yet to have ONE person get in my face!

Take that back, I was driving on the Interstate BEFORE the election and some guy on a motorcycle flipped me off, as HE SPED by. I just laughed at him and waved!

[YOY]

60. I give them the 'Thumbs-up'

and a big smile. It pisses them off more by a thousandfold.

[Seabiscuit]

86. It's a lot safer. Some of these yahoos carry guns in their pickups.

[proud patriot]

17. Well Done

:yourock:

[cmd]

18. Well done and thank you n/t

[JAbuchan08]

19. aside from the chickenhawk and dumbass comments

I think that this is as civil as anyone should be expected to be. That wasn't rudeness that was honesty. Good fer you!!!

[PatrioticLeftie]

20. Well Played!

But that seemed awfully dangerous.

[bearfan454]

21. That would have made me feel great.

You did fantastic !

[EST]

22. Thanks!

I needed that!

[blue sky at night]

24. All I can say is Fuckin a.............

way to go GaYellowDawg......damn great job, you are the MAN...or Dawg that is!! I was told by Bob "Gunny" Newman himself that "Hatred for people who you disagree with is no way to live your life, son." Well I agree with Mike Malloy, anger and hatred are a useful tool, besides the old idea of the Liberal as all niceness and light have been shit canned in my book. Way to Kick some Freeper "chickenshit" Butt!!

[City Lights]

25. Well done!

:toast:

Not immature in my book. Chickenhawks need to put up or shut up. You shut one up. :thumbsup: Nothing wrong with that.

[DIKB]

26. That was great

You just completely demolished him. Hope he stews on that for a while, but I doubt he will, there's not a lot of thought going on there atm.

[KerryOn]

27. I don't think it was immature....

... but you probably did come close to the line.

This was the best part: "Oh, you don't? Then why haven't you signed up for the war if you support it so much?

You may have got his brian thinking a little. In fact I'm sure he steamed over it for a little while. I think its good that we can have these little contractions, to let the blind know how we feel. But just be careful, because there are a lot of crazies out there.

[Zenlitened]

28. Well done! Nothing immature about defending yourself...

... against a loudmouth who thought he'd found someone to bully.

You shut him up beautifully! :applause:

[Guaranteed]

29. That was AWESOME.

NICE job.

[cindyw]

30. "why aren't you there?" is the best arguement by far, wins all fights.

or the variation of, why aren't your children there.

[LibDemAlways]

31. Absolutely the best thing you said was

"Sorry for your handicap" because not having a good reason not to serve made this idiot look like even more of a moron and a hypocrite. Good for you!

[TomInTib]

32. Right on...funny how it seems that the neocons,

have taken over the PC thing that they accuse the libs of. Mustn't speak ill of "The President" during wartime. OH REALLY? Can you possibly imagine what would be spewing from the right if a Democrat president had landed us in this quagmire (not that that would have ever happened, of course, but just let us use this as an example)?

Let's just ask them, "Well, what if Gore had lied us into this war? What then? Would you be supporting him as a "war president"? Huh? Wouldja? Seems like you were all over Clinton when he went after Osama during Monica-gate and were accusing him of "Wag the Dog". Well, Clinton was right and Bush ignored the threat.

What about Bush's lies (Thank you Cindy, for bringing that up!). We need to revive the old "When Clinton lied, nobody died" mantra. I don't think that Bill would mind.

[leeroysphitz]

33. You must feel like a CHAMP tonight.

And deservedly so!

[Glenda]

34. You're my hero!

:loveya:

[KarenInMA]

35. Morning kick of awesome story

handbells!

[Hubert Flottz]

40. You did a fine job!

LMAO!

[in_cog_ni_to]

41. Damn! That was GOOD!

They haven't come up with a response to the "why haven't you enlisted? why aren't you in Iraq?" question yet! Know why? THERE'S NO EXCUSE FOR IT! Excellent, excellent dialog! :yourock:

[magellan]

42. GaYellowDawg, you rock!

And you just gave me another reason to love Georgia! (My avatar is Reason #1.)

[Lost4words]

43. Maybe the chicken shit will think about it, I hope he joins up!

Clinton told a sex lie and gets impeached, Bush never tells the truth and little minded traitors suck it up.

[Gabi Hayes]

45. handbells?

[txindy]

46. Good for you!

:applause: Why can't I get these opportunities to share some truth? ;) And I live in good ol' Texas, too. The state where the W stickers on cars seem to be slowly, yet surely, going AWOL - just like W, himself.

[TexasLady]

79. I have noticed this as well

Even here in 'bushbot' country.

[tnlefty]

47. Excellent!

:thumbsup:

[powergirl]

48. SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO LET IT OUT!

I think it is great. That's how you can always break down a Freep. Ask them why they didn't sign up to fight the war. I do stuff like this all the time. But I usually pretend I'm an ignoramus and say stuff like "Uhh, did Bush find those hijacker dudes in Iraq yet?" It really makes them mad. :evilgrin:

[ElectroPrincess]

49. Kudos to you!

I've noticed when you challenge Right Wingers one-on-one, they tend to fold like a cheap suit and/or try the change the subject.

Good for you! But watch out for the kool-aide drinking kooks that like to travel in pairs or groups. They just love to kick up the sh*t and pile on individuals. Any sense of shame for "not playing fair" totally escapes them. No surprise that they vote for thugs (right wing republicans) against their own economical best interests. They seemingly love authority figures who parade their unbridled power. If/when the Bush Administration sees justice, these smarmy people will then DENY that they ever supported them.

But TODAY, you did us proud. Thanks again for your courage. :hi:

[meganmonkey]

50. "I'm sorry for your handicap"

[Ganja Ninja]

51. Ahhhhhhh! That hit the spot.

I love it. I am so sick of young Bush supporters that won't go and fight the fight they cheer for. They truly are lower than scum.

[truebrit71]

52. Absolutely brilliant!!!

Fuckin-A-Right!!!

I am soooooooooooooooooooo tired of these right-wing bully-boys that think they can frame the debate with their cries of "traitor" anytime someone voices dissent about Lt AWOL.

Good for you!!!

[Mad_Dem_X]

53. You are my hero.

[FreeStateDemocrat]

54. Thanks for pushing back, we have taken far too much BS from jerks.

These people are mouthy and mean-spirited and think this country belongs exclusively to them. You showed a of lot restraint IMHO and spoke logically to someone that was verbally demeaning your character. You did everyone a favor next time he may try thinking before opening his mouth and removing all doubt.

[derby378]

55. Here's a song to sing for the chickenhawks (especially at Camp Casey)

Take it down from the mast, Cindy-haters
It's the flag we Americans claim
It can never be flown by you traitors
For you've brought on it nothing but shame

Why not leave it to those who are willing
To stand with Gold Star Families for Peace
All we want is to stop all the killing
We demand the occupation must cease

Take it down from the mast, Cindy-haters
It's the flag we Americans claim
It can never be flown by you traitors
For you've brought on it nothing but shame

Why not leave it to dear Mrs. Sheehan
And her hard-working friends from Code Pink
And the brave souls who staff Crawford Peace House
As they stand in the ditch with her and sing

Take it down from the mast, Cindy-haters
It's the flag we Americans claim
It can never be flown by you traitors
For you've brought on it nothing but shame

Why not leave it to Democratic Underground
And the Pastors and Veterans for Peace
And to those who will stay 'til Bush meets Cindy
Only then can this grim vigil cease

Take it down from the mast, Cindy-haters
It's the flag we Americans claim
It can never be flown by you traitors
For you've brought on it nothing but shame

For you left it to chickenhawks and toadies
Now we're governed by fascists and slaves
And a coward has mowed down our crosses
And dishonored the home of the brave

Take it down from the mast, Cindy-haters
It's the flag we Americans claim
It can never be flown by you traitors
For you've brought on it nothing but shame

For you left it to folks like Rush Limbaugh
Bill O'Reilly and Hannity and Colmes
For they don't give a damn for Cindy's heartbreak
They don't care if our troops make it home

Take it down from the mast, Cindy-haters
It's the flag we Americans claim
It can never be flown by you traitors
For you've brought on it nothing but shame

For you left it to Wolfowitz and Rumsfeld
As they schemed up a fictitious war
And they screamed "Weapons of Mass Destruction"
And they made our hallowed Congress their whore

Take it down from the mast, Cindy-haters
It's the flag we Americans claim
It can never be flown by you traitors
For you've brought on it nothing but shame

Now we stand with the families of the fallen
As we clean up the mess you have made
For asleep at the switch is how we found you
Now your nation is utterly betrayed

Take it down from the mast, Cindy-haters
It's the flag we Americans claim
It can never be flown by you traitors
For you've brought on it nothing but shame

If you stand against the people, take this warning
One day soon, Bush's tyranny will cease
Your defeat will be our brightest morning
And America will greet the world with peace

Take it down from the mast, Cindy-haters
It's the flag we Americans claim
It can never be flown by you traitors
For you've brought on it nothing but shame

Take it down from the mast, Cindy-haters
It's the flag we Americans claim
It can never be flown by you traitors
For you've brought on it nothing but shame

[Mr_Spock]

56. Beautiful!! I couldn't have said it any better myself!!

I don't consider it immature to challenged the twisted beliefs of these mindless trolls. EXCELLENT!!!

[Patiod]

57. OOO!!! Thanks for the vicarious thrill

"Sorry for your handicap"

:rofl:

[ElsewheresDaughter]

58. no it was NOT immature it was the CORRECT thing to do...thank you

[YOY]

59. Not Immature

Actually physical fighting would be immature. Just like calling someone a 'traitor' or a 'non-patriot' or even 'unAmerican' based on your misinformed POV is not only immature but ignorant.

[checks-n-balances]

98. Exactly. HE started it, with name calling ("Traitor!")

Besides that, this business of "not supporting our wartime president" stinks to high heaven w/GWB. Why, someone may ask? Because if this president could have his way, his "wartime" would go on indefinitely, and furthermore, I guess he would be happy if every president in the future would be a "wartime president" too, indefinitely.

As long as it's considered to be a "time of war," it would keep the military-industrial complex going strong, and it would prevent anyone from being able to criticize the president

[Southpaw Bookworm]

61. That warmed the cockles of my heart

Thanks!

:yourock: :applause: :yourock:

[BiggJawn]

62. Wish I had been there.....We'd have tag-teamed the little snot-nose...

"You support the WAR? You'd better be filling up so you can get to the recruiting station...What? You're NOT? what's the matter, punk, go no BALLS??? You support this fucking war enough to comeover here and call a old fat man a 'traitor' to his FACE? Do ya, PUNK?"

We could have had the chickenhawk crying for his momma, I bet...

[leesa]

63. That was very sweet! Asking him if he had a handicap was

brilliant. I see so many early twenty something BushBots...all they do is play, play, play. I guess they are playing for the war effort. It's amazing how so many Americans haven't a clue as to what patriotism really means.

91. See, The Point Is To Have An Open Mind

Your less than clever screenname, and your unbrilliant post would indicate your forgot to open your mind. This isn't the first time such confrontations have been described here, and it won't be the last.

As long as chickenhearted young conservatives shoot off the mouths without a fact in support or a thought in their head, there will be those of us here who simply won't take it anymore.

If that fact is too difficult for you to grasp, then you're in the wrong place.

[malta blue]

65. Good for you!

I was harassed in a local grocery store parking lot by an elderly man who was offended by my anti-chimp bumper stickers and decided to make a stink about it in front of my 6 year old daughter. I did manage to maintain composure (you know, kid and all), told him I felt the shrub was a thug and when he finally walked back to his Lexus SUV my kid gave the last jab by pointing out "Hey Mister, no one needs a car that big"!

And usually that's met with the same "mutter mutter" you encountered.

[LeftyElvis]

76. Anyone who hasn't

served has no right to be a war hawk. Until these chickenshit freepers have put on a uniform and been in battle anything they say supporting this bogus war is immoral.
