"I'm a Liberal who shoots back and I won't miss"

[Postman]

how do you get a bumper sticker made?

[DS1]

1. cafepress

[JanMichael]

2. Why would you do that?

I wouldn't try to announce that I own weapons; it might inspire some Fox/Limbaugh brain damaged moron to take you seriously. It's not worth it.

However, it doesn't hurt to brush up on your skills by going to the range every now and then.

[blonndee]

3. Hmm. I considered making an "Armed and Liberal" one.

But decided it would just invite confrontation.

[benEzra]

9. Do it. Make some heads spin.

I love stereotype-busting.

[fed_up_mother]

38. Armed and Liberal might attract voters

The fence sitters who are afraid the democratic party is going to outlaw guns - but who hate and are ashamed of Bush - just might realize their rights are safe with the democratic party. Living in red country, I know SO MANY republicans who can't stand Bush, and are on the fence about McCain. They think he's going to be another embarrassment.

[liberalmuse]

4. I've about had it myself.

I'm so sick of the hate-wing. 20 straight fucking years of this shit. The only anti-American terrorists I'm concerned about are the ones in our own country. A guy with 70 rounds of ammo and an assault weapon walked into a church full of peaceful, unarmed liberals and he was only able to kill two of them. Word to the right wing: No, you DON'T want to fuck with us.

On edit: 'Mo' would've worked.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

5. Well, I still have a few stickers left

They say "Bitter, white, blue collar, gun owner for OBAMA."

They were printed for me by a fellow D.U.er who I met many years ago when I inquired about making other stickers.

I have been giving them away for a few months now.

If this fits your bill, p.m. me and I will send you one for free.

If you need bunches, I will refer you to my D.U. printmaster in N.C. but she has to make a living and will probably charge you a fee to cover costs.

[graywarrior]

6. Careful....GD has therapists lurking

[hobbit709]

7. Let them lurk

I don't go looking for trouble but if it comes to me, I have a tendency to fire back.

[iamthebandfanman]

8. i remain non-aggressive

i aint afraid of no ghost.

[Lex]

10. escalating the violence and rhetoric

not a good idea

sounds Bush-like in its posturing

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

11. Do you live in fear, Postman?

Are you afraid of things, and feel the need to announce to the world that you're not afraid?

[Postman]

15. No. Do you?

Although I fear the American people are some of the dumbest people on the planet.

[RB TexLa]

12. I'm not shooting back, no way in hell. Only way I shoot someone is if they are shooting at my wife.

If there is nothing I gain from shooting, and having my wife would be the only thing I consider a gain, then my gun stays put.

[Postman]

13. Glad you weren't around in 1775

n/t

[RB TexLa]

14. huh?

[Lex]

17. yeah, I bet the gunman would've been helpful 1775 too, eh?

:wtf:

[Postman]

18. The rightwing gunman would have been the authoritarian enemy..aka the British...

:wtf:

[Lex]

20. Oh, I see you have it all figured out.

Just like the gunman thought he did as well.

[Postman]

26. Except....

I'm not storming churches, or anything else for that matter, armed with weapons and a mind full of right-wing crap intent on killing innocent people. People who embraced an ideology that helped the kind of scum that ended up shooting them down in cold blood.

It's high time the cancer of right-wing radio be cut out.

[RadiationTherapy]

19. You are the bubble boy!

inside your bubble = teh good!

outside your bubble = teh nothing!

You are so cool and untouchable. Like a virus.

[RB TexLa]

28. So your response is to insult me?

[RadiationTherapy]

31. Yes. Perhaps to also lend insight on how you interact or not with the rest of humanity.

[RB TexLa]

34. I interact fine with the rest of humanity as you put it.

[RadiationTherapy]

35. That is incorrect.

When someone feels put out because their TV watching is interrupted by amber alerts about kidnapped children that serve "no purpose" to that person, that person is no longer interacting with the rest of humanity.

[RB TexLa]

37. I was not watching television when those things happened, my wife was

and I'd prefer her to not have things she is doing interrupted. They serve no purpose for me because I don't have children so no amber alert could serve me.

[RadiationTherapy]

41. Aaaaaaand..BACK to the bubble boy!

It's not an insult and not inaccurate to describe you as solely interested in your life bubble.

[RB TexLa]

42. No, it's a lie, but seems you just want to run your smartass mouth.

[RadiationTherapy]

44. I have not ever gotten the impression that you care about anyone other than yourself and your wife.

Of course, that is just my impression; though I have a feeling many will read our exchange, nod and laugh.

[RB TexLa]

45. You've gotten that from two threads?

OK

[slackmaster]

16. Someone called "Postman" who says he'll shoot back

I don't know whether to roll on the floor laughing or be very afraid.

[LWolf]

22. My thought exactly.

I went with:

:rofl:

[HughMoran]

21. I was just thinking of the polls here on DU where the majority say they own a gun

I'm not going to repeat what you are saying, but I can relate to the sentiment.

[Lex]

24. A safe gun owner doesn't preen around talking about his gun

or making vague threats about shooting people.

[HughMoran]

27. Exactly

Walk softly...

[Firespirit]

23. I'm not inclined to advertise it,

these punks would take it as an invitation, but you can bet I'm starting a "gun fund" very, very soon. They want a civil war. They want us dead. The UUs managed to detain one shooter, but there were many of them. It's hard to take someone down with bare hands if you are a small person and you are likely to be alone, whether literally or otherwise. I don't trust anyone but myself to try to save my life.

[EFerrari]

29. I once ran off a rapist / burglar with my finger a la Woody Allen.

Never underestimate the power of your finger.

:)

[walldude]

30. Yeah but avoid the whole "carve a gun from a bar of soap thing"

That one didn't work out too well for old Woody...

[asdjrocky]

25. "Don't miss." Don't miss is better.

[DailyGrind51]

32. Great bumper sticker idea! I wish the Obama team would apply your message

to the below-the-belt slamming he has been getting from the McCain camp and "firing back"! Liberals have been "taking the high road" for too long, and losing the White House, as a consequence. Ya don't take a knife to a gunfight and expect to survive.

[walldude]

33. "It's high time the cancer of right-wing radio be cut out."

I usually stay out of "gun" threads as I don't really care if you have a gun or not. But that radio comment is just wrong. So we start by getting rid of right wing radio. Then what? Churches? They preach the same crap as Limbaugh, sometimes worse. Then what? Conservatives in general? Politicians? People in the middle? Or maybe just all the people who disagree with you. Opening that Pandora's box is not something you want to do friend.

For your bumper sticker though you can make custom stickers at Cafepress.com

[malaise]

36. Maybe you should start a thread for creative ways to

fight back.

[walldude]

40. LOL...

that would sink like Billy Ray Cyrus's career....

[malaise]

46. Not in these times

Give it a try.

[DailyGrind51]

43. In defense of the original poster (not that he sounds like he needs it),

the idea of taking the offensive in dealing with "the Right" is not harmful, as long as it is measured and applied commensurate with the threat imposed. RW radio can be "cut out" by putting pressure on sponsors, as well as ownership. Pull an offensive quote from Rush's web site and include it in a letter to a sponsor with "I heard you commercial on Rush this afternoon. Is this the way you feel about__________? I can't believe I was buying products manufactured by such a bigot for so long! This is to let you know that I am switching to (Competitor's brand)." You get the idea!;-)

[Blue-Jay]

39. Yeeee HAW!

[mmonk]

47. So the Postman is going postal?
