Co worker told another co-worker, "REMOVE THAT JOHN KERRY STICKER NOW!"

[romantico]

A co-worker told me today that this other guy who works with me told him last week to remove that John Kerry Bumpersticker NOW! Heres the quick version of the story

Co-worker has a car with a Kerry/Edwards bumper sticker on it. I guess ever since January or February this co worker is obviously VERY much the Bush fanatic has been razzing him about removing the sticker. This co -worker with the sticker has more or less laughed it off. He says the guy occasionally ribs him about it but nothing more. He also says the guy is pretty cool most the time. Very fair & hard working guy & pretty easy going.

So, late this summer, co-worker with bumper sticker begins looking for a new car. The car has been giving him trouble & even joked to the Bush fanatic that he's looking for another car with a Kerry/Edwards bumper sticker on it. This guy actually thought it was pretty funny. So, even though this guy is a Bushie, he seems pretty cool. Co-worker bought a new car & picks it up this Thursday. Last Friday(I was off & just heard about this today)This Bushie showed his true colors. In the parking lot told him that he had better get that Bumpersticker off NOW! He said he didn't want him trading it in with that 'liberal propaganda' on it. The guy they said was livid. He said he's been holding it in for months but thinks as long as we have troops over in Iraq thats its disgraceful to keep that sticker on. He says he see's ton's of people driving around with these Kerry/Edwards bumperstickers & what it really says is these liberals are sore losers! Get over it! Now, this guy was off today but this co-worker says he's afraid what this guy might do if he see's the sticker STILL on his car tomorrow.

Before anyone says, 'tell our boss' thats not an option. We don't wanna go running to the boss over this. Beside, he could play it off as us over reacting. Only way we'll do that is if he vandalizes the car & does something extreme. No one can figure out what has made this guy snap. But, I think ALOT of Bush loyalist are edgy lately because of Bush's F-ups & problems. Anyway, thought I'd add this to the list of Freeper tales we share here! (althought he doesn't really fit the freeper profile, he sure acted like one last week I hear!)

[cwydro]

1. how about

remind him that Kerry actually SERVED in Vietnam...while his "hero" was getting drunk....?

[Walt Starr]

2. Make sure you have a hidden video camera on the car in the parking lot

Tape it. IF the guy trashes the car or even removes the bumper sticker, prosecute.

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

3. Does the Bushie have a 'W'astika on his own car? nt

[Blue Belle]

34. 'W'astika...

that is an excellent way of referring to them. :)

[Changenow]

4. The dude needs to find a Kerry/Edwards sticker for his new car.

Does anyone know where they can be found?

[Bluzmann57]

15. I think I still have one around here somewhere.

If the guy wants it, I will send it to him once arrangements are made. Of course, I have to find it first.

[peacebird]

22. i have a kerry sticker that i would be glad to give him for the new car!

found it as i was unpacking the last boxes from our move! if he wants it, just let me know where to mail it! i'll even throw in a DU sticker!
:toast:

[NoPasaran]

39. I have a bunch

Free to good homes.

[ornotna]

48. You bet

he can get one here.
http://www.cafepress.com/lavenderliberal.16945695

Looks like this...



I'm sure the Bushbots head would explode if he saw this.

[Bandit]

5. Put a DemocraticUnderground sticker on there as well

Fuck him and the horse he rode in on.....

[politicaholic]

6. Many Democrats specialize in defiance...

he may never remove that sticker now.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. I hope the guy with the bumper sticker leaves it on and

ignores the Bushbot. And if the Bushbot says anything about it -- even a single word -- he tells him this is still America, it's still a freaking free country, I can put any freaking thing I want on my freaking bumper, and you can just shut the freak up about it. No more discussion.

[B Calm]

8. Tell him to add a few more bumper stickers..

[Stephanie]

9. MORE STICKERS!

I have a few in my drawer - I bet your friends do too. Get as many as you can and put them on the car. FUCK that interfering prick. It's NONE OF HIS BUSINESS what your friend puts on his car.

[Burma Jones]

10. Tell the guy to spit in the Brownshirt's face and then plunge

a Bowie Knife in his fucking heart.


Or Not.........

[snippy]

11. Sounds like the guy has finally entered the second stage of grief. n/t

[grannylib]

12. Man, they really must be losing what little God may have given them...

I feel really blessed to be working in a place where we do contract work for Disney; in order to operate and keep that account, the company is forbidden to take any negative action against any employee based on religion, sexual orientation, or political views, among other things. I am sure it pisses lots of the bigwigs off, 'cos it's a reThug-owned company (pays the big boys big bucks, while the front-line employees are applying for fuel assistance and food stamps, due to their pathetically underpaid positions) but tough shit!
I keep all my protest posters in the back seat of my car, and rotate them in and out of the back window, just BECAUSE IT'S MY RIGHT AS A PATRIOTIC AMERICAN!!!

This week, it's "Karl Rove, the Voice of Treason" and "Just Say 'NO' to American Empire."

[Mr_Spock]

13. That's kind of telling I think

Them Freepers are getting a little hot under the collar lately - it's almost a compliment I'd say. Talk about setting yourself up for a lot of practical jokes though - that Bushie isn't using his brain for sure! :D

[FreedomAngel82]

40. I think so too

If he's never snapped before and this is the first time it sounds like he's getting mad at everything going on.

[Cha]

14. I look at my Kerry/Edwards stickers

(Yes I have TWO!)another way..I want people to know I voted for the best team and I certainly didn't vote for the idiot, with all his lies, who squats in our White House.

Your rabid co-worker needs to take cold shower and chill.

[zulchzulu]

16. Tell the twit Bush will be impeached soon anyway...so what's the diff

I have dozens of Kerry stickers if this twit removes the one he has. I'd be glad to mail him one free.

[sepia_steel]

17. "Dear Sir:

Drop dead."

[B Calm]

18. I always try parking my car with the DU sticker next to a guys pickup

who has a pee boy sticker in the back window peeing on the word liberals. This morning I saw him staring a hole through my DU sticker.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

19. I'm a bit confused.. the Bushbot is demanding that the guy with the Kerry

sticker NOT trade in his car with the sticker still on it?

Unless the Kerry supporter is trading in the car to the Bushbot, what does he have to do with it, and what right does he have to demand anything of the other guy?

[romantico]

27. Yup!

He wants the sticker removed before he trades it in. This is what we were all talking about. He's not upset that he's driving around with it, but now that he's trading it in, he wants to make sure that sticker is removed. WHat we think this guy is up to is he wants to have a reason to remove it himself. This way, if we complain he can say you were trading it in anyway, what do you care? Its very childish, but its the only thing we can think of. Its a power play thing. This guy who bought the new car got a brand new Honda & has decided he wants to put a sign in the back window & change it on a daily basis. I showed him some I printed out from Bartcop & he liked the idea of keeping it current where as a bumpersticker is more permannent.I think this idea is much better & I don't balme him for not wanting to put a bumper sticker on a new car right away.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

28. Your Kerry supporting friend should tell the Bushbot in very clear terms

that if the car is vandalized and the sticker scraped or defaced, he will suspect the Bushbot, and the Bushbot better shut the hell up about what isn't his business or property.

He should stop talking with the Bushbot about the car at all and simply do the tradein so that one day it'll simply be done and the Bushbot can stew about the fact that someone is driving that car around, perhaps with the sticker.

[KCDoug]

20. humm

if it where me I'd put MORE Kerry stickers on the car, and tell the freeper to shove it! (I have YET to meet a repug who will back up their bullshit)...and point out that according to ALL the current polls his saviour (W) is actually the loser!

[SpiralHawk]

21. The Freeper is about to CRACK

He is having his eyes pryed open by reality and is panicking as his imaginary world falls apart and BushCo is revealed as corrupt and incompetent.

He will soon go ALL THE WAY. Then we can welcome him back as a Citizen of the United States of America, no longer a Perconality Kult Klone

[Democrats_win]

23. Joke that you've installed a tiny hidden camera if you think he might

vandalize the car. Tape his comments. If you do turn him in, know that you're doing your community and yes, him, a favor. Maybe he has mental problems because no sane person would connect a bumpersticker to anything happening in Iraq.

[hobbit709]

24. He's lucky that he didn't tell me

Free speech extends as far as you can throw a punch. Of course, on my truck a Kerry sticker would be the LEAST offensive one there.

[Sydnie]

25. I hope he can find someone with an extra brand-spanking new

Kerry/Edwards sticker for his new car!

[Der Blaue Engel]

26. You know, I never actually had any K/E stickers

Because I live in San Francisco, and it was a given that one would vote for Kerry. :D But stories like this make me feel going online to see if I can still find any and just getting a whole bunch of 'em to plaster my old car with.

[LeahD]

29. Like this car?

(Saw this in a thread in the Kerry Group.)

[romantico]

31. If I could just rent that car for one hour!

This car would make his head explode! I'm copying this picture & leaving with this Bushbot tomorrow. I LOVE IT!!!

[LeahD]

41. Since the Kerry Group doesn't get as much traffic,

I thought it appropo to post it here. Hope it brings a few grins...we need a mental break now and again.

[Der Blaue Engel]

32. Ha!

Yeah, baby! :D

[Rainscents]

36. LOL... I love it!

[cami715]

30. I have one you can have free

Just let me know where to send it.

[Rowdyboy]

33. Damn, and I thought my former co-workers were assholes!

[LibDemAlways]

35. It's time to tell the guy firmly to

mind his own business. If he keeps up the harrassment, your co-worker ought to threaten him with the police - and then follow through. Enough's enough.

[Arkana]

37. Message To Freepers:

No, we will not fucking get over it. You stole it in 2000, you Diebolded it in 2004. Live with it or leave the fucking country--you know, like you tell us to do all the time.

[Spangle]

38. Sticker on Back Window

Being polical.. I end up with alot of campaign stickers from time to time. LOL! Who would have thought! Anyway, I know your bud just got a new car and you mentioned signs, etc. Tell him to start eye balling the areas on his car where he could put his stickers on windows. You can't cover the windows up, etc. But one or two, in spots were they will not effect visual, etc.

After this guys comments, there is this sticker I've seen floating around that would be perfect. It's "I support Vets, I VOTED for one."

This Bushie guy can't same the same. Now can he?

The guy just might be noticing that there are more Kerry stickers driving around then W stickers... Aghm.....

[DiverDave]

42. He needs to look him right in the eye

and say "Nope, I'm not removing anything, and if anything IS removed I'm gonna look for YOU"

I'll bet the little sissy bushbot wouldnt dare.

[xxqqqzme]

43. jeebus when the kerry

bumpersticker car is traded in - it will be removed. Tell the koolaid drinker 2 get a life.

[rockymountaindem]

44. A friend of mine's dad had some dopey anti-Clinton sticker on his truck

I noticed it one day, but of course I didn't say anything because that's par for the course in Colorado Springs. A few months later my friend said something about how awful he thinks Republicans are. I said "I'm surprised since your dad has that sticker on his truck". He replied "oh, *that*!? It was there when we bought the truck. We just hadn't scraped it off yet!"

Just goes to show ya never can tell.

[LuCifer]

45. OH HELL NO!!!!!

I freaking DARE anyone to say that to ME! If you do, I say, in advance the following: KISS MY DICK, YOU ANTI-AMERICAN PIECE OF CRAP!

Lu Cifer, so how's DUHbya's approval rating lately?! 3%?! 0%!? WE CAN ONLY HOPE...

[kestrel91316]

46. I still have a "Defend America - Defeat Bush" bumper sticker on

my car, and my RW BF is always asking me why it's still there. I say nothing. But you can bet it will stay on until the car is no longer mine, or Bush is out of office.

[progressoid]

47. That's always scary when they snap.

Gotta keep an eye on those.

[Catherine Vincent]

49. Fuck that asshole.

And you can tell your friend to tell his co-worker that cat_girl25 said that.

[LittleClarkie]

50. Why is it so binary. Support Bush AND the troops

or support Kerry and don't.

I have a ribbon on my car, right next to my Kerry sticker. Folks don't get that. To me, supporting Kerry was more in line with supporting the troops than supporting the fake tough guy. I swear I'm going to get a magnet to put on people's cars between the ribbon and the Bush sticker that says "Pick one".

Anyway, Kerry WAS one of the troop. HE KNOWS. He cares about not misusing the troops, not underequipping them, making sure there is enough of them to do whatever job they've been sent out to do, about treating them properly when they get home. Conservatives never understand that alot of Kerry's testimony in 71 had to do with Kerry caring about the troops in Vietnam and the way they were nearly abandoned when they came home. I've met the ticking time bombs Kerry talked about. Alot of them NEVER got treatment for their PTSD.

Some of the Conservative vets I've run into automatically jump to "How dare you tell me all of the military is like Abu Ghraib! Fuck you! Kerry called us all baby killers!" Um, why do they always make that leap. No, he didn't. But that's what war does to some people. And you'd better have a damned good reason for putting a whole bunch of young men through war.

There's a reason only the chickenhawks are gungho in this administration, and why they had to either smear or discredit or get rid of anyone who was even remotely regular Army. God forbid someone should disagree who actually knows what he or she is talking about. Oh no, shut them up and get them out of here.

Oh, rant mode off.

I feel your friends pain. I was accosted by my car by a psychotic psychic who said my Kerry sticker "frightened her" and seemed to want me to genuflect at the very mention of Glorious Leader. Not much of a psychic, or she'd have known what I wanted to say to her.

Tell him to stick to his guns. It's none of his co-workers business. I know it's damned hard, and often scary. But I'm not backing down anymore. I hope your friend doesn't either.
