"thought this hate was an issue of the past'. These last couple of months have my head spinning with issues we thought were settled years ago. But I am glad to see it only took one day to stop these guys.
Compare those racist, disgusting and crude teaparty protests and town halls with the protests in Wisconsin, for example, and we see who the good guys are.

Not all republicans are racists, but all racists are republican.

There are many horrible racist democrats here. We don't have a republican party in my city. So if a teabagger wants to be
elected they run as a democrat.

... not true in New Mexico, either. There's some places where the Big Tent is a little too big.

Come to Alabama if you want to see reality.
Nice people here, overall, but I can tell you I know several Dems who are very tone deaf to their bigotry.

What is really sad is that there's people out there that bought this stuff and actually put it on their cars. When there's demand like that, you know there will be others selling this evil crap.

Most have rules against hate speech, etc and will shut such sites down. Glad someone found the info and did it!

I had hoped we were past that but in parts of the south it's like the civil war never happened. I am still amazed that people think that way but old habits die hard.

before the site was pulled i clicked "add to cart" to get the email linked to the paypal account used at stumpy's stickers; it was masterpeg@aol.com. this is the person who made those stickers:http://www.bustedmugshots.com/florida/tampa/robert-kowalchuk/21622991

However, this link has been pointed out to me, which does provide some confirmation.

That mugshot is highly likely to be the same person. Full stop.

Just kidding, I don't know how many, there may be more.

My issue at the time of posting was that we only had the poster's word that that name was the name of the person responsible for the site. It was a post with no supporting evidence included.

Judge Eric Moye, who has an impressive bio, brought the bumper stickers to the public's attention
http://www.dallascounty.org/department/courts/civildistrictcourts/14th/bio.php

Belows is part of the story quoting Judge Moye from WFAA.com that alerted others to these racist bumperstickers:

It's one thing to use a racial slur under the anonymity of the Internet. It's another to put it on your bumper.

But both are cropping up in North Texas, in material opposing President Obama's re-election. Bumper stickers for sale on the Internet play on Obama's race.

One uses a confederate flag, emblazoned with the phrase "Don't Re-[a shortened version of the 'N-word'] in 2012." Another uses the same phrase and a caricature of the President. A third uses the Obama campaign symbol with the phrase.

"I think they work on some ignorant people," said Dallas Democratic judge Eric Moye. "I think they're calculated to play to the most base fears that people have. And I don't think it's unintentional - it's as coordinated as the use of the SuperPacs."

Not openly selling Obama Lynching Ropes.

Whomever the GOP picks to run for POTUS will get 45-50 million votes just by blowing the racist dog whistle.

and the complete disconnect from reality that this bunch of yahoos have regarding whose administration that Seal Team 6 got Bin Laden.

Wow they are racist....should they be invited to talk to a California University???

Racist Bumper Sticker Targets Obama, Shocks Community

Now that we are in the campaign season, many slap on bumper stickers to show support for their candidate. But, there’s a bumper sticker out there now attacking President Obama that even Republicans won’t put on their vehicle.

The bumper sticker says “Don’t Re-Nig in 2012,” and underneath it reads “Stop repeat offender. Don’t re-elect Obama!” This bumper sticker went viral Thursday. It is all over the internet and soon it could be seen on cars across the country. It’s political play on words takes the word renege and misspells it to the point, it’s unmistakably racist.

One of the posters there did it. So funny from a drug band message board but true it is. The original thread was taken down to racist rants. but I watched as the guy got it taken down and reported on some of his other items , most of which carried a trademarked logo...

...

The ISP took them off line.

That's why the First Amendment should only be available to progressives because we never do that.

Government intervention is not necessary in this, nor was any government present.


This was a business decision by these people's Web Hosting service. They were in violation of the service agreement. They were shut down.

There is nothing stopping them from hosting their site with someone who is willing to provide them drive space and bandwidth.


Political persuasion has nothing to do with the First Amendment. Neither does this issue. Neither does Rush, etc. The First Amendment has to do with governmental powers, not what a service agreement between a service provider and a racist fucknut can contain.

Presumably Stumpy's sticker can find another place to host his racist site, as numerous other racist sites are online. Likewise, there are other ways to arrange payment besides PayPal.

Some sort of hate or offensive law?

And then of course there's the obvious. Your car or your life are at risk if you think you can drive around with that on your car and not get taught a harsh lesson.

Here's the real story: guy who understand a few basic things about technology is able to shut down a racist website by complaining to Paypal and the website's host.

The fact that he saw the site referenced on a friend's facebook has nothing at all to do with it. How did the facebook poster find out about the site? Is there a story there? Maybe someone called on the phone and told him about it. Inquiring minds must know! Maybe there's a whole cell phone technology angle here!

Paula Smith of Hinesville, Georgia has a company called Stickatude.com. And they’re selling their own version of an anti-Obama bumper sticker that reads “Don’t Re-Nig 2012.” Ms. Smith told me in a telephone conversation on Saturday afternoon that the bumper sticker has been in their inventory since June 2010, but just in the last few days it’s started selling. The price is $3. Ms. Smith insisted that the bumper sticker is not racist. I asked her about the “N” word, for which “nig” is the shortened version. “According to the dictionary [the N word] does not mean black. It means a low down, lazy, sorry, low down person. That’s what the N word means.”

In Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary, the word is defined as “member of any dark skinned race. Taken to be offensive.” Dictionary.com says the word “is now probably the most offensive word in English. Its degree of offensiveness has increased markedly in recent years, although it has been used in a derogatory manner since at least the Revolutionary War. Definitions 1a, 1b, and 2 represent meanings that are deeply disparaging and are used when the speaker deliberately wishes to cause great offense.”
