Be Honest. Ever hassle a Bush/Cheney driver?

[graywarrior]

I am SO SICK of being sworn at, having my bumper nearly effed up the ass and being assaulted on the road by stupid, redneck, halfwit Bushlickers in Sarasota Florida. All because we have a Veteran for Kerry sticker on our crappy little Escort. I don't know one democrat who has bragged about doing that to a Bush stickered car.
Why the eff am I here in this state? To add 2 votes? God, I never thought I would despise republicans this way. First my sister, now this. Third time in as many weeks.

[hang a left]

1. I do not know if it classifies as hassling but........

I did do the finger in the throat throw up manuever.

[Sub Atomic]

2. I'll be honest.

When I pass a car with a Bush/Cheney bumper sticker, I point and laugh hysterically at the driver, then keep on going.

[Gryffindor_Bookworm]

6. I do the same thing!

Ain't it fun? :evilgrin:

[malachibk]

3. Yes! In fact,

I just got back from a trip to MA and VT and everytime we passed a car with a bush bumper sticker, we would pull up along side of the car, hold up a sign that said "Bush is a Liar", honk and wave it in their faces.

Most of the rupubs reacted with a smile (this is the northeast, after all) and we had a great time!

[funkybutt]

41. wow..that sounds dangerous

but i'm in the deep south

[DaveFL99]

No I've never done that

But thanks for the idea

[russian33]

4. I did, and was chastised for it here on DU...

5. Generally lib/progressives/Dems have a clue how to behave

Repubs don't and many of them really think it makes them tougher-which is part of the reason they buy into it in the first place.

[graywarrior]

9. Cripes. What's gonna happen when Kerry wins!!!!!

[underpants]

14. Nothing

they are all blowhards and wussies

[tom_paine]

7. Yes.

I have no patience left with them, only the infinite disgust of the Jew for the Nazi.

I don't usually tailgate, but I have been known to shout and flip the bird.

[radfringe]

8. when stuck behind one

we hiss

then try to pull up in front of them and slow down so they are stuck looking at our bumper stickers

[NewJeffCT]

10. Not my idea, but a good one...

Somebody else had this idea a week or two ago on here:

They pulled up to a young woman in a BMW that had a Bush/Cheney sticker on the bumper and said something like, "excuse me, Miss, but somebody defaced your car... they put a Bush/Cheney bumpersticker on it."

[devinsgram]

38. Yeah, and the girl in the BMW threw a hamberger at him

thru an open window, then got pulled over by a cop who saw it. What a hoot.

[funkybutt]

42. that was awesome!

very good idea...clever and not overly offensive

[SCDem]

11. Usually when I pass a car with a * sticker on it

I will pass them and then get back into their lane ahead of them so that they can see my Outsource Bush, A True Patriot Act - Vote Bush Out, and Protect our Homeland - Vote Democratic stickers. But I do not do it rudely I don't slow down and cause them to put on their brakes or anything like that. Just a subtle reminder that their is competition despite what FAUX news tells them.

[Junkdrawer]

12. No.

[sniffa]

13. i puLL in front and drop 'stop sticks'

it's a hoot when their tires bLow.

[graywarrior]

16. Love ya Sniffa

Boston brawn. I miss it there.

[Selwynn]

15. Never. I am better than they are. That's something they do, not me.

[Estel]

17. I was in the ATM line at the bank

in my little two-seater Honda Del Sol. The line started to move and the car in front of me was still rolling when a big-haired woman in the Suburban behind me honked her horn!! I turned my car off, got out, and walked back to her car. She was smoking a cigarette and her window was opened and I asked her if she wanted something or if she knew me. She threw her cigarette on the ground and started to roll her window up. About that time I noticed a Bush/Cheney sticker on her side window, so I gave her an Italian salute and told her to go Cheney herself. This happened in suburban Dallas.

[lapfog_1]

18. What happened to you

is the action of a bully.

THAT'S why we can them RETHUGLICANS!

Most I would ever do to someone with a Bush/Cheney sticker is
shake my head in sorrow.

[Jacobin]

19. Not really hassle, but

Once I was behind an SUV in a fast food line with a bumper sticker depicting a little boy pissing on the words "France". As he looked in the rear view mirror for reactions, I just shook my head back and forth slowly and gave him a disapproving stare.

He got antsy, stopped looking in his mirror and hurried off.

[unfrigginreal]

20. Gave one the finger yesterday

Yeah, I know it was childish, freeperish and every other pejorative that we use for the GOP scumbags, but I figure if the guy has the bumper sticker on this late in the game he's a hopeless case. Besides, it made me feel better.

My unofficial bumper sticker count in Charlotte yesterday:
1 Kerry/Edwards
1 W04
1 confederate flag

[graywarrior]

23. I'm making a big SHOVE IT sign for my car now

Every time I get threatened by a morAn, I'll wave that at em. Stoopid muthafukka's.

[jedicord]

21. James Carville said that he likes to pull up to people

with Bush/Cheney stickers and say "Hey, did you know that someone stuck a Bush/Cheney sticker on your car? Thought you ought to know!" and drive off.

LOVE IT!

[flamingyouth]

26. LOL - I'm going to try that some time

:D

[genius]

22. They're always trying to run me off the road.

[Nite Owl]

24. Ok I'll admit it.

I've got those Xenon headlights that everyone hates. If we get behind a B/C bumper stickered vechicle you can aim those things right in their side view mirrors and watch them squirm. We also had one pull up next to us. He looked so annoyed in his little old car and the dummy actually tried to race me. At my age I usually don't bother but for him, well he ate my dust, then we slowed and pulled in front of him to make him see Kerry/Edwards.

[flamingyouth]

25. Yes, I was riding with my dad once back from Tacoma

We kept trying to pass these old people driving a K-car, of all things, with a Bush-Cheney sticker on it. So when we finally did, my 64-year-old father and I flipped them off. They were about 115 years old, give or take.

[eissa]

45. LOL, what a warm and fuzzy father/child moment!

[jedicord]

27. Reviewing the replies to this post, please know that I feel

to each his own opinion, wrong or right. Try to change their minds with facts, not hatred. We are still Americans - one country. Showing these people you are mean-spirited will just solidify their position on this.

I was run off the road by a semi last week for my sticker, so this subject is touchy to me right now.

[veteran_for_peace]

44. My Bumper stickers haven't come in yet

But once they do I will put on my passenger window so as I pass people in my Geo Metro they can "Read My Bumper"

[newyawker99]

48. Hi flood999!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[kiahzero]

28. Nope

Just vent a little in my car... never actually say anything to them.

[chemenger]

29. Not since the election debacle

In December, 2000 when the recount was in full gear there were several groups of Repuke demonstrators with their Bush/Cheney Won posters posted on several major street corners where I lived at the time (east suburbs of Pittsburgh). The wife was out of town visiting her relatives (twas the holiday season). I stayed home because I had to work. Upon seeing said Bush/Cheney demonstrators, I took it upon myself to circle the block (and them) several times gesturing and shouting various obsenities (my favorite being "Go F*** your Bush!")at them. I did this only because, as I said, my saintly wife was out of town and I was alone.

She would have freaked big time. But only because she worries about "... you never know if they're carrying a gun. You might get shot." She's terrified if I give someone the bird so I've stopped doing it.

[VolcanoJen]

30. No... unless...

... you consider pointing and laughing "harrassment."

:D

[CaTeacher]

31. no--honestly I have not.

I am always very careful and courteous on the road--I try to keep my cool no matter what happens.

I have lost friends in auto accidents--and I know that the wrong decision can ruin or end your life. Nothing is worth taking that chance to me.

[drdigi420]

32. i do flip them off for blocking the left lane with their slow SUV

why do ppl insist on ignoring the 'slower traffic keep right' sign?

its more than a statement on the relationship of intellect and politics, it's instructional

[Tweed]

33. When I drive past, I put my thumb down and shake my head

I don't look over because I don't want to cause a huge stir. Sometimes I'm even laughing at myself. I try to keep it civil if not fun.

[UdoKier]

34. Nope. But when they give the bird, I give a peace sign.

All Republicans are extremely selfish and mentally lazy. And a large subset are just plain sociopathic. As an ex-Floridian, I know what you mean. Even without politics, Florida tends to be a pretty uncivil place.

I'm very happy to have gotten away from there.

[proud patriot]

35. nope

I only get their blood pressure up , because
at first glance my car looks simply patriotic
it isn't until you are stopped behind my car
that you notice a very patriotic anti-bush message.

I have people eager to read my stickers and throw up
their hands saying what appears to be "oh ohhh Ohhhhhh!"

:evilgrin:

But lately it's been lots of thumbs up :D

[callous taoboy]

36. No, but I was hassled the other day

by a young punk driving daddy's Beemer. He was pissed because I had the nerve to merge into the left lane at a light because the right lane was packed. (My Kerry sticker probably pissed him off as well). He comes screaming up behind me, double birds me, then pulls up beside me and gives me this glare. I'm regarding him casually over the top of my cheap Dude Labowski shades, then I just shake my head and chuckle. He speeds off, then decides to let me catch up to him, which I decline to do. Don't let these assholes get your blood pressure up. This particular nerd will pull a rant on the wrong mo-fo some day and his pathetic ass will be a greasy spot in a parking lot. For me, I don't need a record, and why let a little insignificant fart ruin my drive?

[in_cog_ni_to]

39. If possible, I pass them

to get in front so they can see my 4 stickers in my back window...IN THEIR FACE! "DUMP BUSH"...."BUSH LIED REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER"......No W....and "Kerry/Edwards 2004"....It feels SOOOOOOO good to do that. It makes me happy! I'm finished with being meek about politics....No More. :bounce:

[Karenina]

40. This thread disturbs me.

Anyone remember those old PS announcements...

A car... is NOT a toy. (Cue sirens)

[VoteDemocratic2004]

43. Back in 2000 when I still had my car I did

I am being honest I use to flip them the bird all of the time.

[GoneOffShore]

46. Not really, unless

you count the coming up beside the guy in the Lexus with the Virginia plates (I was on my bicycle and this was in slow traffic in the city) and I delivered the line: 'Hey, some jerkoff put a Bush/Cheney sticker on your car.' He laughed weakly.
I do have a tendency to pass people (if I can do so safely) who have those stickers so that they can see the 'Bush Lied, Thousands Died' poster in my back window, but I don't slow down to hassle them. That's just provoking and not good driving.

[graywarrior]

47. I met a Gulf War vet tonight at a vet meeting

After telling the group what happened today, he said he's been thinking of making up white and blue stickers that say IMPEACH and place them above the Bush/Cheney stickers on cars in parking lots.
