I almost came to blows with a freeper at the gas station....
I'm paying for my gas, and he walks in, looks at a newspaper on display and says: "Oh, a car bomb killed a bunch of fucking Arabs, good!" I lost it, and turned and told him to keep his racist comments to himself, and all hell broke loose. I was yelling at him to stop listening to Limbaugh, and what a disgrace that 1000 US soldiers had died to fatten Cheney's bank accounts. We were in each others face, (like 6 inches away), as we walked out and continued it in the lot. His passion for the subject was not equal to mine, so he slinked off muttering something about Kerry. What a fucking jerk!

Haven't come that close to a fight in a good long time.

1. Was that the one where 7 Americans were killed or...
the one where only one G.I. was killed?

Even if he doesn't care about Iraqis, what about our own soldiers?

5. I think he set me up....
Now that I think about it, he probably saw the four bumper stickers ("Democratic Underground", "Vote for Kucinich", "Dude, where's my country", and "Impeach Bush") on my truck, and made the comment just to fuck with me.

6. Maybe they all moved up to Humboldt county?
That would certainly explain reggae on the river.

8. I am gettin' this notion...
that no matter whoever wins this election there will be heavy polarization. This is starting to seem like there might be a war here in Amerika between the Neo Fascists and Left leaning &/or Leftists. Even Paleo-Conservs and Libertarians are starting to feel like they are on notice from the Neo Fascists. Can we all just get along? Seems like we cannot.

10. I Believe The Hudson Institute Released A Study Earlier This Year
Predicting significant social unrest in the next twenty years.

I read social unrest to mean civil war!

12. Thank You!
I am getting the same way now. For way too long I've let wingnuts make comments without saying anything in response. I took the mindless Clinton bashing in stride. The Chimperor has changed that. Nobody says shit around me without getting called on it.

It's time for our side to make a stand!

17. After his 'killed a bunch of Arabs' comment
would have been a good time to first, look totaly SHOCKED, then say naively, But I thought we were in Iraq to "Liberate" Iraqi's from murder, tyranny and torture?

Then quickly give em the 'thrust' :evilgrin:
Or don't you give a crap that your president lies to you again and again about the reasons we are there and Americans are being killed every single day because of those lies? Guess that makes you an unamerican, non-troop supporting, traitor to your own country! You're a Saddam Lover.

heh heh ;-)

Oh wait, you want to a-VOID a fight. Well then, nevermind ;-)

Good for you for calling him on it. Glad it didn't get physical, though.
