Some rightwing nutbag screamed at me and called me a SOCIALIST today!

[BleedingHeartRN]

I suppose he was offended by the Obama sticker on my car. I guess it was supposed to be offensive. Poor schmuck was too stupid and brainwashed to even realize how ridiculous he sounded. What should I have yelled back? CAPITALIST!!!

[matchstick]

1. tell him to get off the drugs!!!

[dorktv]

2. how about Economy Destroyer?

[WeDidIt]

3. Nah, you yell back

FASCIST!

[BleedingHeartRN]

11. Bwahahaha!

Yeah that's it! I was caught completely off guard and actually just laughed and shook my head.

[NotThisTime]

19. That's what I was going to say LOL

[Duke Newcombe]

4. Anger is a kissing cousin to fear...

and if the loons are reacting this angrily and vocally, then they must be very, very afraid.

Good!

[BleedingHeartRN]

14. You're exactly right!

Which is why I thought it was kind of funny. It also never ceases to amaze me how they will repeat any talking point verbatim without even trying to educate themselves as to what the hell it actually means.

[deadmessengers]

5. Smile and wave.

Drives 'em positively NUTS, because they don't have a damn thing to smile about these days.

[crispini]

6. Fascist!

That's the perfect rebuttal to "socialist" Hehehehe.

[fascisthunter]

7. You Should Have Called Him an Attention WHore

or maybe just a fascist. Afterall, the Republican Party today is Fascist.

[hollowdweller]

30. Republicans are such SORE LOSERS

We democrats have had to see our candiate beat by a crazy felon who broke into Democratic Party headquarters.

An actor who stole his opponents debate notes for a debate that turned the tide.

TWO close elections where the GOP essentially stole the elections.

In all of those we shut up and got over it.

When Clinton won from the moment he took office they were SO PISSED they did everything they could to ruin him.

Now that Obama is winning we are seeing such anger and name calling.

One thing for sure Democrats are WAY BETTER SPORTS than Republicans.

[asdjrocky]

8. Just smile and say, "bless your heart."

You know, like you would do with a slow and stubborn child.

[Sparkly]

9. "You're welcome!"

;)

[Merlot]

10. In your best sarah palan voice say "Just what is it that a socialist does?"

That will stop them dead, becasue I'll betcha anything they don't even know what a socialist is. They were just told it's bad.

[muntrv]

12. Your response: "How's that Bush tax cut workin' for ya?"

[RufusEarl]

13. I flash the peace sign, and drive off.

Peace!

[grantcart]

15. if your not getting yelled at your not doing your job

I would yell back, "How dare you insult the beloved memory of President Eisenhower". When he responds you tell him that "Eisnhower believed in progressive taxation and that his top rates are twice as high as Obama's so when you call me or Obama a socialist you are calling Eisenhower, by the extention of logic, a communist."

[WorseBeforeBetter]

16. "Thank you! Would you like some of my PBJ sammich?" (n/t)

[mtnsnake]

17. You need to do the only proper thing any mature adult should do in that situation

Turn to the person who called you a socialist and tell them, "Pipe down, ya communist".

[JohnnyRingo]

18. I've been trying to get challenged, but to no avail

I'm sure I've upset more than a few motorists, as I have my DU sticker on one side, and an Obama/Biden sticker on the other side of my bumper. As a bonus I have a scrolling red LED license plate frame that says: "Had enough?...Vote Democratic".

I've received a couple smiles from those who pull aside me, but so far no outbursts of Freeperism.
What am I doing wrong? Maybe I need to get out more.

[hay rick]

20. two weeks ago he didn't know the word. nt

[Clio the Leo]

21. Today at lunch we sat around talking about how the first century Christians.....

.... were socialists (See Acts 4:32-35) after my father made a reference to it in his sermon. Seriously, he actually said "they were redistributing the wealth? Were they not?" (Which was later followed by a tangent on "what we need" is a man who will do what he says he'll do and not be all over the place.)

Go figure.

[codjh9]

22. If anyone does that to me, I'm going to yell 'Damn Right, you ignorant shithead'. n/t

[sniffa]

23. You should have yelled, "Fuck you!"

[vaberella]

24. You should have said..."And so was Jesus!!" Just to mess with them. n/t

[Guaranteed]

25. "Corporatist" is the proper response. nt

[Jed Dilligan]

26. The appropriate answer: frantically scream, "WHERE!???"

[zulchzulu]

27. I tell people like that to fork over their Social Security check to me...

If they wanna play anti-socialist, well...bring it.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

28. I grew up in an American socialistic environment

When I was a little kid during the 1950s, my father who was a career officer in the U.S. Air Force did two 3-year tours in Germany. The U.S. Air Force base had thousands of servicemen and their families and was as big as a town. We had free housing, free coal-fired heating in that housing in winter, free medical care, free schools, subsidized low-cost food and clothing in the base commissary and PX, low cost bus fares which you paid for with miliary script to anywhere in the giant base, low cost movie theaters that played the latest Hollywood films. It was great. I wonder if your right wing nutbag would disapprove.

[BleedingHeartRN]

31. That's an excellent question

The back of his car was plastered with those "support our troops" ribbons...

[dkofos]
