I thought the Right-Wing Guy was gonna' hit me.
(He wanted to)

Yesterday at Target I pulled into the parking space behind our favorite vehicle ..A Hummer two.
On the rear was this Huge poster thing (3ft by 4ft)that said:
"The King is coming..Are you Ready?"

He was just getting in his monster and looked at me and said "Are you Ready"

I swear, I should have just smiled but Nooooo..I had to open my mouth.
I said "Yeah..well, if he's coming, I hope his brings some gas with him"

Man O Man..He balled up his fist and gave me a look that would have melted steel. (Not that I truly care)
After I got home I thought that being these kind of folks are not all together anyway, I probably should learn to keep my big mouth shut...oh well...as I'm fond of saying ..If they can't take a joke, Screw um' :)

1. I thought your reply was funny!
and he brought it on by asking you the question. I think my answer would have been, "Yes, I'm ready, but I'm wondering if you are." Probably too cryptic for him to get.

3. Ahhhh-haaaaaahhh

I would love to have seen the look on his face as he balled up his fist. Good one!!!!

I can never think of a good come-back until about 20 minutes later. Good job.

5. Touche! Great reply!
Idiots like that probably don't even see the hypocrisy of their pathetic lives. If he's so "Jesus like" and all, why so hostile and aggressive?

I am generally stupefied when confronted with such an obviously confused example of sanctimony and bigotry. You however, knew just what to say! :thumbsup:

6. Awesome! Very quick response.
I almost got into a fight at the bars on Saturday night with a guy that was hitting on me and for some reason I had to ask him if he was a Democrat...he wasn't...then he started in with ...well you know the soundbites...I told him he was an idiot and walked away while he was mid sentence. Yuck. I don't even care to pretend to care anymore...I just walk away... from the big void where a brain should be.

7. Wish I'd been you for a minute...
"Are you READY?"

"For WHAT? Elvis?"

And about the time he balled his fist up, I would have had my 5-cell Maglight out from under the seat, saying "You wanna bring it on, you small-dicked SUV Bible freak? Are YOU READY to get your ASS stomped????"

Guess he was home watching the game the Sunday they discussed "turning the other cheek"....

Ah. Nothing like some moron in a Hummer gettin' all philosophic-like.

Whenever some fundy knucklehead speaks in threatening tones my standard reply is, "Didja learn that in church?"

But I guess in your case, he probably did learn that in church.

11. I live by simple rules. 1. I know I'm an asshole 2. It is a personal
mission of mine to point out to other assholes who don't know it that they are indeed assholes. If you don't tell them their assholes they are so stupid they will never know.

13. If he has a Hummer, he must know that he's not one of God's chosen.
Anyone who is taken in the Rapture, wouldn't need a Hummer.

15. You have to watch out...
He might have been referring to Elvis and Elvis would have approved of fighting. In any case, taunting people you don't know can be a bad idea. Let's be careful out there.

17. The King is coming.
Hide the bong!

Edit: I wonder which King he was referring to. Elvis or Richard Petty?

20. We all need to
follow your lead. Speak up. People are always surprised when they find out we're out here. I'm tired of people making remarks to me, just assuming I share their sexist, racist, war-mongering sentiments. I don't. And I'm not going to be polite. They're so cocky now with this administration, plus hate radio, that we need to speak up.
We had a totally freeped out Comcast guy at our house a couple of weeks ago. He started in with his rightwing hatespeak and we blasted him. He said, "well, if you know history...."and he didn't. We did. He only knew a few half-truths from wingnut radio. We buried him in history. He finally shut up and did his job.
If you're confronted by a freeper, cover him/her with knowledge. They fold like cheap lawn chairs. Hateradio parroted soundbites are no match for education. Talk over their heads. Mention people they don't know. (they'll know they should know them...but they can't respond when they're bereft of knowledge). Quote Friedman, Alterman, or Krugman. Ask questions: Do you agree with the goals of the PNAC? What about the Carlyle Group?
Good job, BlueJazz. You're our hero.

I'm glad he didn't do anything and, I have to admit, your answer was genius.
