Ways in which I've vented my anger and frustration at right-wingers.
Tonight's thread from the DUer who went into a Barnes & Noble and placed pro-Kerry books in front of all the pro-Bush books got me to thinking. Over the years, I've done some things to right-wingers of which certain folks around these parts may not approve! Here's what comes to mind:

1. In the parking lot of the office building in which I worked was a pick-up truck with the bumper sticker, I DON'T BRAKE FOR LIBERALS. On my lunch break, I drove to a nearby feminist bookstore and bought a sticker that read, I'M GAY AND I'M PROUD. After lunch, I drove back to the office building and placed my new sticker on the pick-up truck's rear bumper, directly over the anti-liberal message. I still wonder how long it took the owner of that truck to notice my little gift, and whether or not it caused him any embarrassment!

2. I got behind a car with all sorts of Christian fundamentalist bumper stickers. As the driver made a left turn and I continued straight ahead, I stuck my head out the driver's side window and screamed, "Atheism fuckin' rules!"

3. I came across a minivan with all sorts of idiotic right-wing bumper stickers. SO I left the following note on its windshield: SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL ANTI-WAR, SOCIALIST, HOMOSEXUAL, VEGETARIAN ATHEIST! Shame I didn't have time to stick around to see the guy's reaction.

There's lots of other shit that I've pulled against right-winger since I became radicalized in my early 20s (I'm 38 now), but that's all I can remember at the moment.

1. Never yell at a Fundie.

Fundamentalist Christians get sexual gratification when they think they are being persecuted. You can bet dollars-to-donuts that the fundie you yelled at told everyone at bible-class that she was verbally accosted for believing in Jesus.

2. The bumper sticker ploy is most acceptable:
They already put on the original stickers which, in turn, damages the car's paint job.

They'll remove the 'new' sticker and put on the same one again if necessary. $1.50 net loss, not a problem to them.

And it's a hell of a lot more civilized than keying the car, which really is damaging others' property. O8)

But I am more inclined to distribute flyers. :D

3. We once found Bumper stickers that looked like DARE stickers,
that Said Dare to stop the war on Drugs. We'd carry them around and put them over real Dare stickers. That was fun.

In 2000 I egged a car that had a SORE/LOSERMAN in its back windshield.

I have honked a couple of times at W'04 Rapture Occupants, like on I-81 Sunday, my hubby and I honked at some dorky middle-aged woman as we passed them, when she looked at me I stuck out my tongue and gave her the old thumbs down. She was really stunned, they drove up fast next to us, but we already had them on ignore -- they were waving something out the window.

I don't care about being civil anymore. These fuckers deserve every insidious attack they get.
