Crazy rightwinger confronts cars w/Kerry stickers -- in Maryland!!

[Sparkly]

My husband was out doing errands this afternoon in our Blazer, which has a "Kerry-Edwards" sticker (and a Clark04 one).

Stopped at a red light, a minivan pulled up beside him and the driver started screaming and yelling like a maniac. "How could you live in this beautiful area and vote for that slimeball" and nonsense like that.

My husband asked him if he was a Christian fundamentalist. He said no. So my husband said "Then you must be a Nazi!" The light changed, and as my husband was turning right they separated, screaming -- my husband yelling "F*** you, Nazi!!" as only he can.

What's crazy is we're in Maryland -- a true "blue" state. If he's going to go ballistic at every Kerry bumpersticker around here, the guy's got his work cut out for him.

[blm]

1. Mr. blm and I were in Baltimore for a convention last weekend, and

there was a white van on the feeway with HUGE painted red letters denouncing Kerry as a traitor and a terrorist.

It was a real "Deliverance" type rube driving.

[Cha]

15. Oh they are going to be sooooooooooooo

Pissed when Kerry/Edwards Delivers us!

[ScreamingMeemie]

41. We have a silly man who puts hand lettered placards in his pickup

truck window. It's rather funny. :hi:

[Feanorcurufinwe]

2. While I applaud your husband's passion,

I don't think yelling "F*** you, Nazi!!" was the proper response.

[Irishladdie]

8. Your right it was the wrong response..

He should of said, Go Cheney Yourself!!

[Ms. Clio]

47. LOL--that's exactly what I plan to say, if I ever get the same opportunity

[fudge stripe cookays]

9. Good thing they

weren't asking for your approval then.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

10. Just as

I wasn't asking for yours, lol.

:hi:

[fudge stripe cookays]

38. Yeah. That's why we all post here.

No feedback or others' opinions. No sirree bob.

Sanctimony. It's what's for dinner!

[Feanorcurufinwe]

49. No we do it because of

last-word-itis

[tom_paine]

11. Yes it was.

[frylock]

24. f*** you, nazi asshole would have been the proper response..

her husband must be lazy!! ;)

[el_gato]

25. what the fuck, I guess he should have said "Oh, I'm so sorry"

"Fuck You, You Nazi piece of Shit" or any other response was justified.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

28. I agree that is was justified.

[WilliamPitt]

31. O fa chrissake

Two moments:

1. In a controlled setting where debate and fact can win the day;

2. On the fly, potentially dangerous situation where its a face-off and the loudest person wins.

This was a No. 2 situation, and homeboy burned that motherfucker down. I say cheers.

[11 Bravo]

35. I'll be Cheneyed if I can think of a better response.

n/t

[jeff30997]

3. Obviously that guy have mental problems.

[democracyindanger]

4. hehe

give your husband high five for me. nice response. :)

[wryter2000]

5. Oh, Lordy

He's going bust a gusset before November. :bounce:

[glitch]

6. I like it - keep it simple! nt

[vivalarev]

7. This type of shit really pisses me off....

when i see a bush/dickehead cheney sticker on a car all i do is just laugh to myself...of course its usually accompanied by a pro-life sticker as well. i just figure these people for idiots and dont even bother with them. but can someone tell me what in the hell these zealots hope to accomplish by yelling at kerry supporters at red lights, on the road, in parking lots, etc.

There have been too many of these stories on DU lately and its starting to make me sick. have these people no shame? goddamn i cant wait til November 3rd!!!!

[arcane1]

14. Bush supporters hate freedom

it's that simple

[Cha]

19. Exactly! I haven't seen any yet in my small town in NY...

but I have seen pro-life and religious stickers so I know where they're goin'

It's just their mentality and mind set..they are the let's go bomb Iraq after 9/11 armchair warriors. And when they see something that might want to take that away from them..they get violent on the road.

[blondeatlast]

36. I just smile and ignore them, which seems

to piss them off just as much as yelling. It's a no winner, so do what feels right to you!

[Cha]

12. Good on your husband!

How strange that we can't help but yell "nazi!" at our Kerry/Edwards sticker attackers..

[DancingBear]

13. Oh shit - that was YOUR husband?

:) :) :)

[Bozita]

16. "my husband yelling 'F*** you, Nazi!!' as only he can"

I'd love to have heard that!

Perhaps not politically correct, but I bet it made him feel a lot better.

[Lex]

17. The Repukes are getting desperate. They read the polls too.

They know that Bush* sucks, even though they deny it like hell.

They are getting more and more aggressive I think. Be careful out there!

[mom cat]

18. The closer we get, the meaner they will become. Get prepared

for some really irrational anger folks. Remember all of your non-violence skills. We are all going to have them tested.

[CBHagman]

20. Where are you? Thurmont? Frederick?

I work in D.C. and live in Maryland, and Kerry and/or "Redefeat Bush" stickers/buttons/yard signs are beating Bush-Cheney items probably 15 to one, from what I've actually noticed. I had to go to DELAWARE to see the first Bush-Cheney sign of the season, believe it or not.

By the way, I'm going to start a thread on how to respond to those who confront us about our Kerry-Edwards gear. I don't want my fellow DUers to wind up in the hospital (or worse) over an encounter with Bush-Cheney people. I have seen actual freepers up close, and they are not people I'd want near my family or friends.

[Sparkly]

23. Howard County

I work part of the time in DC, too. I see the same thing -- mostly pro-Kerry. (But I have seen the occasional confederate flag up here.)

[bigtree]

40. This is my county

Chills

[bigtree]

45. We held a weekly vigil on the side of the road every week for months

along with the Friends who held a silent one. We had a mix of responses, mostly positive. There were some jokers though. A schoolteacher had a bottle thrown at her there. Creeps.

Howard County Coalition for Peace and Justice, formerly the Howard County Coalition Against War, reporting in.

The day the war started, at 6:00 pm, we gathered at Little Patuxent and Broken Land Parkways, (near the Columbia Mall) Columbia, MD. The Howard County Coalition Against War, a recently-formed activist organization, planned a “Walk for Peace” in Columbia to coincide with a likely U.S. invasion of Iraq. Organizers sought to provide an outlet for the strong sentiment against the war held by a number of citizens and elected officials in our area. This is the location where a silent peace vigil had been held on a weekly basis since October 2001. Black armbands were be provided as an expression of mourning for the lives that will be lost in the war, both civilian and military. Walkers were also encouraged to bring candles or flashlights. The Howard County Coalition Against War is comprised of individuals and members of various lay and religious organizations in Howard County who are opposed to the war against Iraq.

[liberal N proud]

21. The response was great up-to the F*** you part

This is a fine example of the conservative base that Carl Rove has instilled in the Right Wing. I bet the people in the mini van had right to life bumper stickers and go listen to a right wing church service as well.
These people are desperate, they know how stupid the dub is and they must try to justify their vote! Good republicans never change their mind, even when it is wrong.

[tandot]

22. "F*** you, Nazi" ... I love it. I hope you have a fast car...

These freeper morons seem so crazy, I'd be worried that they lose it and chase you down.

There are some sick bastards out there. I hate those Bush/Cheney bumper stickers but I wouldn't do sh*t like that. People have the right to show to other drivers that they are stupid enough to support that incompetent asshole...

[zulchzulu]

26. Just say "Kerry in a landslide" and smile and wave

Cussing at these thugs brings it down to their level.

[WilliamPitt]

32. SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!!!

Jinx!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[zulchzulu]

34. Actually that would be good to do: Be a O'Reilly Mime

When someone tries to insult you about your Kerry sticker, just do a Bill O'Reilly mime act and say "Shuddup! Shuddup! Shuddup!"...

[skygazer]

27. What gets me is the "beautiful area" remark

Anyone who values the beauty of any area should be running as far away from BushCo and their environmental policies as fast as they can!

[rullery]

Gee, I thought that Alan Keyes had moved to Illinois already!

[bleedingheart]

29. I love your husband's reply...hahahaha I have to use that one

[Maddy McCall]

30. I live in Mississippi, travel all over the state, and have yet to be...

confronted over my Kerry-Edwards or Somewhere In Texas stickers. I also have a fake state license plate on the front of my car that says KERY4PREZ. The only reaction people have had thus far is to ask me where I got my Democratic stuff.

[kimchi]

33. I would've said "Beautiful because of liberals lobbying for environmental

standards, you @#$%ing @#$%!"

Tell your husband I'm sending him a cyber high-five.

39. I've got mine alongside my DU sticker

Bring it on!

[drdigi420]

42. I had my bumpersticker stolen

but that was out in rural georgia

I have to travel out there to work (I live in Atlanta, which sports a LOT of Kerry/Edwards stickers)

Click the link below to help a recently laid-off IT Geek by purchasing a bumper sticker, t-shirt, or even some of my music.

[drdigi420]

43. I like to give those types the one finger wave

anyone want to guess which finger I use?

[osaMABUSh]

44. I spent a weekend in Columbia, MD w/ friends who suppport *

I drove down from PA and I had my Kerry sticker on the car so I set the tone early at this suprise birthday party. These are all white, upper middle class people who live in MD but, I'm guessing, Columbia does not at all represent the rest of MD. They blindly love Bush but too bad for them that their votes will get drowned otu in that state. The only allies I had were a mixed race couple (white male / black female) who. like me, despise Bush.

[DaveinMD]

46. Columbia

is actually a very liberal place. Its where most of the Howard County Democrats live.

[bigtree]

48. It's a beautiful town. Lots of activism

[osaMABUSh]

50. I guess the crowd I was around was not representative of

Columbia, MD.

Maybe they were pissed at me because I am one of them (white, upper middle class) but supporting Kerry.
