Got challenged tonight on the road per Sarah's "hopey changey" instructions
No, didn't get forced over. We were stopped at a light. Still have the Obama sticker on the car.

Two lanes, over, some dirtbag (in a Mercedes, no less) leaned out the window and yelled the quote he was directed by Palin to say (verbatim), "How's that hopey-changey thing workin' out for ya?"

I smiled and gave him a thumbs up, responding pleasantly, "Great. Thanks for asking."

I think he expected to take me by surprise; he didn't know he was dealing with a DUer. So he replied with a snappy retort (thought up all by himself!), "Couple ignoramuses!"

I smiled and said, "No, you must be thinking of Sarah."

He mumbled under his breath, shook his head, turned red and pulled away.

He didn't throw me off at all because we all know this could be coming, but it is a bit disturbing to think that her minions will do precisely as they are told. As he did tonight. I have no doubt that she knew exactly what she was saying when she told her Tea Party crowd to "pull (cars) over" that have Obama stickers on them. That didn't happen here. This time.

Anyway, I hope he blew a gasket on his way home. Personally, and on his Mercedes.

4. Good for ya
I tend to confuse them

I drive an 18 year old Toyota four by four with an old Support the Troops Sticker on it (and DOD stickers too)

So when they go... one of us, they are in for a surprise.

That was you, right? My SO found out today she didn't get one that she went right down to the final two on over the last month. So, a little wine tonight. At least I got to get the best of a Teabagger!

15. I just dream of once again seeing someone in a convertible with a Bush/Cheney sticker...
... so that as they're driving with their top down, I can spend several miles in front of them hitting the "spray" button on my windshield wipers.

It's almost summertime!

51. Wet Blanket Fairy sez...
...as much fun as that might be to think about? :spank::evilgrin::rofl:

Probably not a good idea to actually DO it...

Silly Person in the driver's seat of convertible might be texting, DWY (Driving While Yakking) or doing some other such thing which takes their attention from the road...then alluva sudden this red spray comin' outta NOWHERE starts hittin' them in the face...
:wow::wtf:

AFAIK, the only directions Rushbo, Billo, Weeping Glenn, Simple Sarah et al have EVER given their zombie-eyed, unthinking audience/followers/disciples on "Dealing with the Unexpected Things that Life might hand you" is to:

A.) No matter what it is, FEAR IT. It's DIFFERENT, you weren't expecting it, so be afraid. Be very, very afraid. :scared:

B)."Use this FEAR as a 'reason' for going suddenly, thoroughly mindlessly BERSERK with rage about it/them and go into HULK SMASH! mode. :nuke:

C). Blame the "libruls" for your behavior when you 'come down'.
It's not your fault you have absolutely no self-control; it's THEIRS. After all, it was their ___________ (fill in the blank here) that scared you so badly and set you off.
:eyes:





Just sayin' it could have COMPLETELY unintended and possibly tragic results. :shrug:
Not to mention that "the Lady Karma, she can be a total BITCH when the mood it takes her"...
:hide::yoiks:


Why yes, I AM somewhat paranoid. Why do you think they haven't gotten me yet? :crazy:

14. To be precise - she didn't say 'pull over', she said 'stop'. I think someone is
writing her stuff who is very careful. If anyone challenges her legally - she can defend herself by saying she meant stop to be - in person - on the ground. By combining bumber sticker she implies, but saying stop instead of pull over she protects herself. I think it is proof that it as well orchestrated as anything Rove was responsible for while working for Bush. He may still be running the show, but with Beck and Palin at the bidding of the barons.

We should try to find out who is paying her for these events. Armey? If yes, then who is paying Armey. Instead of marveling at her highly effective activities, we should track the money.

They have so many 'foundations' and 'organizations' as well as individuals (Kroc, Mellon-Scaife).

16. You're right. Checked it. But you can't "stop" something that isn't moving.
Here's the quote:

"Or that bumper sticker you see on the next Subaru driving by, an Obama bumper sticker. You should stop the driver and say, "So how is that hopey, changey thing working out for you?"

That's more than an implication. That says stop a moving car. But we both agree she and/or her handlers know exactly what that means.

28. Have you noticed that 'Subaru' has become wink-wink, right-wing shorthand for 'lesbian'?
I know some people who use the term as code. Pisses me off...

31. I am Twitterless. But I bet this is happening a lot around the country.
This one happened in Montgomery County, MD. A so-called liberal bastion. The Palinites feel somehow "entitled."

I don't think so, my fellow DUers.

Quoting Sarah Palin and following her command is a way to show your intelligence?

Real clever, dude. Anyway, he was brushed aside. But others may be more threatening.

42. Sarah may have instigated some injuries with her big mouth
There will be some people who actually get hurt over this. The teabaggers are going to start something with the wrong person and get curbstomped, or buckshot in the face.

If you think this won't happen, you better think again.

I live here and although I don't use bumper stickers, people here know I voted for Obama. I was asked, word for word, Palin's quote. I asked the guy if he could think for himself or if he relied on an idiot quitter, insane hate radio and FUX NotNews to do his thinking for him.

He got a bit flustered and stormed off.

I'm going to use that 'dopey-quitter' line, if no one objects.

. . . the problem is I might go too far! I might use some "colorful metaphors" as Mr. Spock once suggested -- the term "double dipshit" comes to mind. And, I would not want my opinion of Sarah Palin to be misconstrued as mysogyny.

55. Got that a few months ago.
Woman in front of me in line had a "So how is the change working out for you?", it's the first time I saw a shirt like that so I smirked. She turned around and asked me "so you like the shirt?" I told her yes, so naturally she started in with the Socialism, health care, Hillary, blah blah blah. I quipped back "well actually it's working GREAT for me, my bank re-mortgaged my house since my wife lost her job, a good friend of mine who has Cancer and dropped from her insurance has hope of getting covered once again, we're FINALLY getting some tax breaks" She interrupted "Well it's not working for me" I answered back "Hey lady, don't yell at me, you're the one wearing the shirt!" and she stormed out of the line. I got my ice cream that much sooner, it was a good day.
