Someone did not like my bumper sticker so they...
I live in a condo development. I get up every morning at 5AM to go to the gym. I have two bumper sticker's on the back of my car, they are as follows:

1) How many lives per gallon?
2) If you're not completely appalled then you have not been paying attention.

This morning I went to my car to find the following note:

Nice bumper sticker you dumb liberal. BUSH WON! IN YOUR FACE!

How should I respond?

5. I was thinking of responding by
creating a bumper sticker on cafe press, in Italian or Spanish, languages I speak. It could say something powerful, and I know this person would definitely translate it.

2. Ignore it
you have obviously hit a nerve, which is the point of your bumper stickers. As things get worse, the clown who left this note will feel worse and worse. Don't distract him by responding in any way.

4. Flyers.
If you don't know who did it, flyer the neighborhood with a comprehensive list of voter irregularities in at least Florida and Ohio. At the end of each page, ask this: Do you still think Bush won?

6. Why need to respond? It only empowers them...
They're only trying to get a rise out of you. And by acknowledging them, they've succeeded in a) getting a rise out of you and b) making you acknowledge their views, which gives them credence.

You know you're right...why should you care what some dumbass thinks?

7. Put on more bumper stickers?
Of course, that might drive him over the edge and he might try to inflict physical damage.

Good luck. I live in a city that is 70% freeper.

8. Get more bumper stickers
Thank my lack of god that I live near San Francisco... If that happened to my car, I'd set up a wireless cam to capture the fucker's picture next time he came near my vehicle. Probably set up a remote flash and noise too, if I could...

14. Get One of those Bumper stickers that Says
Edited on Thu Dec-09-04 07:23 PM by Geek_Girl
"Don't Blame Me I voted for Kerry."

Or That Bumper sticker from Brand Dem that says
"A Democrat Balanced the Budget. We're not Afraid of a little hard work." Brand Dem

Either way it's a subtle way of saying yeah your guy is holding office but don't blame me when the economy tanks.

15. When I lived in a condo
I put a sign up in my front window declaring my opposition to the impending invasion of Iraq. As a result, someone called the homeowners association to complain and I got a phone call asking that I take it down which I did. But I also put up a new sign - the First Amendment to the Constitution declaring my right of free speech - There were no more complaints.

17. My daughter makes a point of
leaving notes on cars with Kerry/Edwars and other positive (read left leaning) bumper stickers:

"Love your bumper stickers. Keep the faith." etc.

24. My Hood Ornament Broken off in 20 year old Collectible car
My old Grand Marquis station wagon is (was) in very good condition until I put Kerry stickers on the back.

I was concerned that some Central Florida right-wing idiot would damage my car, and they did!!

My friend who lives in the I-4 corridor Orlando area had his new car keyed all over because of his Kerry stickers.

Obviously many B* voters are extremely nasty people!
