My husband was accosted in a parking lot over my Obama bumpersticker.

[LaraMN]

:rofl:

Some random man tried to get into it with my husband, even after he told him that "it's my wife's car; I'm don't even like Obama."

Five years with political bumperstickers and no one has ever, ever given me any crap. My husband drives my car and gets ragged on by someone he probably agrees with.

He got ragingly mad at the guy and told him "my wife is entitled to her own opinion!" and the man STILL kept harrassing him!

Political karma.
He should just give up and be a Democrat, already.

:rofl:

[Parche]

1. I Would Have Slapped That Guy

:woohoo: :woohoo: :hi:

[LaraMN]

3. I found it amusing that my conservative husband

got chewed out by another conservative, and got a nice window into the thinking of some of his counterparts of similar political persuasion.

He only THINKS he's a Republican, I swear. One of these days, he's gonna switch teams. I know it.

:rofl:

[LeftyMom]

2. Now you need to find where that guy lives, and let JackMN in the window while he's not home,

with fingerpaints, after giving him a Jolt.

:D

[LaraMN]

4. And risk getting the stench of Republicanism on him?

I think not!

Seriously, I don't know what the guy was thinking, anyway. He's completely outnumbered here. I think my county typically votes something like 70% Democratic.

[LeftyMom]

5. You gotta take advantage while they can't be tried as adults.

:D

[Pierre.Suave]

6. bookmarking

just to see who responds, and how...

Lara, I feel for your husband, I was confronted by an Irate repuglicon the other day myself, however my thread did not go as well as yours will.

[PeaceNikki]

10. Is "Irate" a nationality of which I am unaware?

[Pierre.Suave]

13. Are you attempting to find fault

where none exists again?

:eyes:

educate yourself: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/irate

[PeaceNikki]

14. Close. I was attempting humor where none exists.

You capitalized it, foo. I was playing with you. Chillax, sparky.

[Pierre.Suave]

15. Sure

...

[PeaceNikki]

16. It's not a proper noun, you know?

[Pierre.Suave]

17. ok, you caught me...

I made a typo

good job

[PeaceNikki]

19. Next time I will be sure to insert a silly smilie for the humor-impaired

I really was playing, please don't always assume people are doing something they're not.

Here's a goofy smilie, even --->

[CBHagman]

30. Irate is an multinational designation.

Believe me, having dealt with German shopkeepers, I know from irate. :blush:

[Taverner]

7. What is up with the Minnesota Republicans???

They're like the flip side of Texas Democrats!!!!

[LaraMN]

9. YOU CAN'T HAVE THEIR GUNS!

It's something like that.

:eyes:

[Taverner]

11. Oh when I was there in Roseville I called guns a "hobby" - the instructor went postal

"GUNS AREN'T A HOBBY - THEY ARE A NECESSARY PRECAUTION!!!!"

[LaraMN]

12. A precaution for what?

Attack by rabid deer?

People need to chill out. I don't get it.

[mwooldri]

25. I have the perfect weapon against deer attacks.

A Ford Focus.

I have had the regret of having to kill two fine deer specimens at the wheel of my Ford Focus. One I ploughed into at 60mph when it darted out behind a bridge on a main expressway. Smashed the windscreen, wrecked the bonnet, deployed the airbags. $4,500 of damage.

The second deer was on a local road, I was going 30mph. No damage to the car, but the deer made it to the edge of the woods.

I've killed more deer in my car than I ever will have with a gun.

(moot point: I don't own a gun, don't like guns, scared of guns, but if you want one then go right ahead. just don't shoot me or my family or i will hunt you down anyway. With a Ford Focus. Or if that's not available a Town and Country.)

[undeterred]

8. I had a "Proud to Live in a Blue State" bumper sticker

which I thought was pretty non-inflammatory. Some men I worked with saw it and gave me a lecture about the evils of Hillary Clinton... who I didn't even support. The Republicans think of her as ultra-liberal, which is really amusing.

[NewJeffCT]

27. I've seen several letters to the editor

that claim this year's presidential race is a choice between a socialist (Obama) and a liberal (McCain).

[flvegan]

18. Nobody ever gets into it with me. Why?

I've got stickers, I'm obviously a rethug-hater.

Why?

[Twillig]

20. fellow vegans, obviously.

You vegans think you're all part of a great big team even more than the rethugs. :-)

Or the idea presents itself that you could snap their necks, maybe...

[LeftyMom]

22. Oh, how I wish that were so.

I moderate a vegan message board. You think the hair-splitting and infighting here is bad... Dems have nothing on vegans/AR people.

[LeftyMom]

21. Apparently they've heard about that crazy bitch you're dating and don't want to risk it.

:rofl:

[sasquatch]

24. Also there's an air of "DON'T FUCK WITH ME!!" from a guy that regularly adopts godless killing-

machines.

[TZ]

28. Nobody ever bothers me either!

Its that intimidating 5 ft height I tell ya! They are afraid I'm gonna punch em in the knee!!!:rofl:


Actually its cause I live in a blue area of a very blue county in a very blue state.....

[BeachBaby]

33. I wouldn't want to get on your bad side.

You could do me some serious shin damage. :P

And count your blessings for where you live. You've been to my house - so you know that while I live in a blue state, I somehow have managed to rent a home in the most redneck area of New Jersey. Yee-haw!

[quakerboy]

23. Makes me glad that when I put my sticker on my car

my wife got mad and made me get her a matching one. For some reason no one ever tries to get into it with either one of us.

[JVS]

26. "told him "my wife is entitled to her own opinion!" and the man STILL kept harrassing him!"

Didn't he realize he was only digging himself deeper with that assertion. Way not to defuse the situation.

[China_cat]

29. What would have shut the guy up would have been

if your husband had said "This is my WIFE'S car. I voted for Hillary"

[Midlodemocrat]

31. Poor Mr. LaraMN.

But that is one funny story. :rofl:

[Zuiderelle]

32. LOL! I lent my car to a republican once... with my HRC and John Kerry and other assorted

stickers on it. I was sort of hoping for something like what you described to happen to him, but alas, I was not so fortunate. :)

I love the karmic aspects of your story. Very cute.
