"You haven't heard the last of this hippie!"

[HEyHEY]

a little taste of Earth first post.

What kind of stuff have you had yelled/said to you by neocons?

For me while riding a bike "Get a car fag!"

I didn't know that riding a bike had anything to do with sexual orentation...thank god I know that now.

[boobooday]

1. While I was protesting the Iraq war . . .

"Don't you watch TV?"

And:

"Go back to France!"

Among other things.

3. WTF?

WTF would that have to do with anything? :shrug:

[asthmaticeog]

12. "Don't you watch TV?" ?!?!?!?

Because everything on TV is real...

[Taverner]

44. "Another Commie for Kerry"

And this happened just the other day. I drove up to Stoneridge Mall in Pleasanton, and had my kid with me. Some fuckers in a parked car noticed my Kerry sticker on the back of my car and said it when I pulled up.

So I got out of the car (side note: I look like I can fight, even though I don't) and I got in the assholes face and said

"You got a lot of NERVE asshole, to say that to a man with a baby..."

The asshole was speechless and drove away.

[liberalhistorian]

2. Actually, I think that

wingnuts, rednecks, and assorted other right-wing dings use "faggot" or "homo" as a general epithet, it doesn't necessarily mean they think the person's gay.

Kinda like how they used to use "nigger", but they can't do that anymore so they just use "fag" or "homo" generically.

[Amerpie]

4. Too many to choose

While riding my bike "Nice tights freak"

While protesting:

"Coward" (I'm a vet)

"Four more years" (of death and destruction?)

"Support the president" ( I did vote for Gore)

"Pathetic" (to which I answered, "So's your Mom", making the Freeper get out of his car to come kick my ass but the cops intercepted him and someone hit his car, what a great day!)

[TheMightyFavog]

38. Ahhh, yes...

Instant karma can be wonderful sometimes, eh?

[HFishbine]

5. While in an anti-war march

walking past a childrens' museum, a father yelled at us, in front of his two children and wife, "Bomb the shit out of 'em. Kill 'em all."

[liberalhistorian]

6. When I had anti-Bush and

anti-war bumper stickers on my old car, I'd get both positive and negative reactions. One really negative reaction was a note stuck under my windshield, at a COLLEGE no less (supposedly a place of enlightenment and education), that said "Take these anti-American stickers off your car before I blow it up, you filthy French whore!

[PROGRESSIVE1]

14. The Right-wing, like Adolf Hitler, believes in silencing all dissent.

[JVS]

7. If you were wearing bicycle shorts they may have assumed you were gay.

I think it is because the similarity of biker shorts to hot pants.

[HEyHEY]

8. nah, I was wearing jeans

Just out for a little boot.

[DS1]

9. Get a Job! Yelled to numerous DUers on a Saturday

in Cambridge

[Kathy in Cambridge]

11. The T workers, right?

Last night we saw a Bush sticker on a Cambridge Police car, and we were going to call and say that we don't want our tax money to pay for political advertisements. :evilgrin:

How can anyone in a union vote Republican? Not to mention that the police and firemen in the Northeast are getting mere pennies of the homeland security budget, while their brethren in Wyoming have state of the art technology.

[DS1]

35. The one that I'll never forget was the freeper couple

Driving some beat up old piece of shit, with some crap hanging from the rearview mirror and the passengers feet hanging out the window, stinking up the town no doubt.

Although the T workers were quite vocal.

[tigereye]

36. that's what I was thinking

Republicans have rarely been pro-union as I recall. :eyes:

[grannylib]

39. Not only union, but how can any female, African American, Christian etc

etc etc...anyone but a greedy rich white guy vote repuke???
I will never ever understand it.

[EstimatedProphet]

10. What is this brownshirt crap these people are doing?!?

And they get pissed when people refer to them as Nazis! Maybe if they didn't act like Nazis they wouldn't have to defend themselves about it.

[ScreamingMeemie]

13. Why don't you go home and make another welfare brat???

This to me with my children along. FWIW, never been on welfare. :hi:

[camero]

15. Just the "America love it or leave it" thing

To which I ask them if they'll pay for my ticket out. Actually I'm quite an asshole when dealing with Bush supporters and they don't get to say much at all. Cause I'm usually calling them Satan.

[cally]

16. "You should be charged with treason"

for having anti-Bush pins on my purse. Of course, 'get a job' and 'faggots' at protests. The "Get a Job" always makes me laugh. What does that have to do with anti-war protests. FWIW--I do have a job.

[TheMightyFavog]

42. The whole get a job thing....

A lot of right-wingers believe in the stereotype that people who attend protests are nothing but spoiled rich kids or lazy slobs who have nothing better to do that go from protest to protest. :eyes:

[liberalhistorian]

45. Ask them then if THEY should have

been charged with treason for their anti-Clinton rhetoric and actions during his presidency! Then you'll get the, "well, that's not the same thing" bullshit. Then ask them why it "isn't the same thing" and have fun watching their two brain cells try to figure THAT one out! It's amazing to me that they just don't see the total, complete hypocrisy in that.

[Blue-Jay]

17. My DU sticker prompted someone to call me a "liberal faggot"

a few months ago. I smiled and replied, "OK, wanna fight?"

"Huh?" he muttered.

"I asked if you wanted to fight me. Then you can go home and tell all your dumb buddies that you just got your ass kicked by a liberal faggot."

He decided that it was a better idea to just drive off.

[Amerpie]

28. Good one

I like to tell people that my opposition to the war in Iraq doesn't mean that I'm a pacifist.

[CanuckAmok]

18. Protesting Albright's presence at a speaking engagement in Vancouver...

Someone told me to "get a job"...which was kind of funny, because at the time I was making so much money at my job, I was probably paying more in taxes than they earned in a year.

[HEyHEY]

19. I get so mad when I meet Canadians that support Bush

Luckily that's only 14 per cent of the nation.

[CanuckAmok]

20. My current line producer supports the war...

But he's from Duncan, which explains alot.

He's an anachronism. Big-time pot-head, loves to ride his BMW touring bike through South America, and he's a very intelligent, very nice guy, but he supports Bush's war.

Weird.

[HEyHEY]

21. maybe his last batch of weed was bad

It could have fuck em up real good

[fudge stripe cookays]

46. And I think they all live in southern Alberta.... n/t

[proud patriot]

22. Let's see

"HIPPY" as if that was insulting :eyes:
"You're fucking Crazy"
"You're an idiot"
"everybody deserves freedom" quite odd comment actually
"long live bush"
"democrats are traitors"
When I had Veterans support Kerry on the back of my car
this dude said "don't imply that all vets support Kerry
I'm a vet and I don't support him" I had time to respond so
I asked "do you support the Constitution" he said "yes"
to which I responded "so you don't support bush" He quickly
rolled up his window to keep his child from hearing
anymore truth from me and zoomed off.

This other guy scowling at my car in a parking lot
was walking by , I asked him if he even read the stickers
to which he replied "It doesn't matter you drive a Volvo:crazy:

I have no idea what that was supposed to mean ..

On edit I almost forgot ....Someone (who I actually
should thank for giving me the idea to use window chalk)
wrote on my windows of my car "Bomb Iran" :shrug:

[HEyHEY]

23. It means you're a sweed lovin librul bastard!

[proud patriot]

24. LOL .....

Does that mean that everyone who drives a volvo
is a liberal becuase I know Repukes that drive them .

They are safe cars that the reason I got my volvo

[HEyHEY]

25. One thing they bitch about

Is people not buying American. This way of thinking is contrary to their whole "Freee market rules" bollocks. Hey, if Vovlo makes a better product, they have the right to sell lots. But noooooo, it's not American you treacherous bastard. SHows the hypocrisy in their thinking.

[St. Jarvitude]

29. I would really prefer to see people buy American carsbu

But more and more, American car companies (which, by the way, is only two now: GM and Ford) are making crap vehicles that hit the fan as soon as the warranty expires. So, more and more, I'm encouraging people to buy American less and less.

I'm definitely leaning towards a German-made, or even (western) European-made, car for my first. Probably a VW or a Volvo (yes I know they're Swedish. Support socialism!).

[TheMightyFavog]

40. Don't get a new Volvo.

Volvo's been owned by Ford for awhile, and their quality has gone downhill somewhat.

[St. Jarvitude]

48. Ooh, ouch

Kind of like the hit Jaguar took when Ford bought them out?

[fudge stripe cookays]

47. I thought about this for awhile before I began buying Japanese

Nowadays, what's the difference between buying an American car that may be shit, or a car that may be owned by a Japanese company but is made by American workers at an American factory (so is still giving jobs to Americans).

I doubt they consider that much.

[proud patriot]

49. Well I bought used from an American owned used car lot

Reduce Re-use Recycle ya know what I mean ..

Me own a new car ? hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

The car before my volvo was a 89 Chevy SW that I loved
but the framed had been weakened by getting rear ended
so Just as soon as we could afford a different vehicle
that wouldn't fold like an accordian if it got into another
accident we got it .

The car before my Chevy was a 1967 Lavender VW :-)

Before that (we still have it just don't drive it) a 1958
VW California Camper :-)

[tigereye]

37. makes you wonder if it is some kind of class thing?

sonetimes it seems there is a class subtext to some of this, fueled by the right wing radio fodder.

[NightTrain]

26. Reading this thread makes me glad I live in a relatively liberal state!

We do have right-wing yahoos in Connecticut, but they tend *not* to fly off the handle when they see left-leaning signs and bumper stickers. Hell, from time to time, I'll even encounter one who congenially tries to get me to "see the light!" :eyes:

Since there are so many out-of-the-closet liberals in the Nutmeg State, I guess the neocons must be used to seeing "all that left-wing garbage" on signs and bumper stickers!

[Blue-Jay]

27. I live in a mostly Democratic area.

Not "liberal" per se, but Democratic. There are still an overabundance of yahoos around here, sadly.

[proud patriot]

50. I live in The SF bay area

The right has no qualms about being just as
opinionated as those of us on the left .

[Earth_First]

30. It was incredible I tell you...

he was shaking his closed fist in the air at the top of his lungs!

[HEyHEY]

31. Maybe he was practicing for a play

or somehting ;-)

32. Scooby Doo does Washington

"...and I would have gotten away with it if it werent for you meddling liberals, this isnt the last youve heard of me hippie!"

[DietVanillaCoke]

33. I'm Going To Hell

My religious beliefs (or lack thereof) have resulted in my being told I'm going to hell by several people. I ride a bike but have never been called a "fag." And if I were, it'd take it to mean I was a cigarette, making it a compliment regarding my thinness?

[mwdem]

34. "You'd better stop this peacin'"

while standing in front at an anti-war rally last year. This gut in a red pickup keeps pulling around, yelling at us, and finally he pulls in front of me and yells this. My fellow protesters and I look at each other and say, "whaaaaaaaa?". Also, when we marched around the area, a guy from a car yells. "you God-damned hippies!". There I am, a middle aged woman, surrounded at the time by nuns, priests, and young families. What a world!

[m-jean03]

41. Hey, they yelled that at me, too

Join the "I've experienced first hand that Freepers are complete idiots" Club!

[Van Helsing]

43. I was told...

to "go back to France" when I protested the Iraq war.

that I was committing "treason" because I protested the Iraq war.

that I was a "treasonous bastard" because I used my First Amendment right to question Dubya.

by a repuke that "you're a fag" and "you're a fag lover" because I support gay rights and equality.

that I was a "tree-hugging hippie" because I care about the environment.

There's others, but I don't want to lower my IQ by typing all this sh*t.

51. "You 'Libbies' need a TARGET tatooed on your foreheads..."

"...so real Americans can keep track of you."

Spoken by a Quality Engineer at work who was then and is now a Reservist. Since his unit was activated and he has been on alert 24/7, he does not talk so loudly.
