WA: Obama supporter's car keyed with bigoted statements

Fully expect

that when I place large "OBAMA!!" signs on my corner lot property that similar could occur to us (re: "white Power"). Or the signs destroyed, plantings ripped up.

And I will put up more signs... and more signs... and same as this woman, call the police every time.

There's gonna be ALOT of similar incidences this political season...

Guess what? They are all still there, intact.

Great! Yes, despite what so many Blenders obviously think about the South, and North Carolina, it is NOT a hotbed of "Deliverance" extras and Bible-toting Fundies. And note that the above incident happened in Vancouver, not, say, Alabama.

Every time something happens, I just add another sticker

I have several stickers on my car...  First there was a pink triangle, and after my car got keyed, I added a gay pride variant of the Canadian flag (in Michigan), and suprisingly enough, that's made it just fine.  My "GOD save us from your followers" decal just got removed last week, but oddly enough, the pride decals and the rest of the car were untouched.

So now, I'm replacing it with something more incendiary, and adding something new besides.  

I don't have a lawn, or I'd have an Obama sign on it.  This political season's gonna get worse before it gets better.

the good news is

that despite all the race and racist talk in this campaign, this is the first incident of this level i've heard of.  washington state definitely has a problem with bigots.  it is, after all, the home of ken hutcherson.  but i find it encouraging that we've gotten so far with so little racial violence and property damage.  (or should i say so little extra violence?  the racists underpinnings of our society haven't changed, sadly.)

And in tulsa the week before a GLBT Home and truck burned and vanalized

A mans Truck was spray painted and burned. His house spray painted with GMG
GAY MUST GO.  and  We will be back and Get OUT. and a Aryan nations Z with the line thru in a circle sprayed on the house.

But only one station covered this gay terrorist act. So here is a Link to the  Only TV  station  to cover the attack.

When one is in a public place one has freedom of speech. However ya can't yell fire in a theater.  I think with the volatile settings now people like  Mike Savage should be held to the grist mill for their call to and egging on these acts of violence and terrorism against  the GLBT and liberal churches.

dumb funny little story

I am a little guilty to admit that I once defaced a sticker on someone's car.

It was 2006 near my apartment building in the District of Columbia, and I was coming back from a bar, a little drunk and with friends I sort of wanted to impress.  An SUV with a "W 04" sticker on the back was parked in front of my building.  

Now, the District is 90% Dem, so I felt a little personally affronted by a person with such views coming to my neighborhood.  Of course, they didn't take the Metro, no, they had to drive their SUV up from Prince George county in VA.

So without thinking, in what I now recognize as stereotypical group male behavior, I swiped my key through the sticker.  (Not the paint! I'm not that bad.)  My friends snickered, but ... weren't that impressed.  Good for my friends.  Bad for me.

I still snicker impishly a little, though. >;)

Saw this while stuck in I-40 traffic...

On a lady's Jeep Liberty: an Obama 08 sticker with a Confederate Flag/Not Hate sticker on the back.
