Purple Heart Bandaid Wearing Repugs - My Daughter's Experience

[Sugarcoated]

She's 8 months pregnant, it was 93 degrees. She had borrowed my car, left the lights on and the battery died. She needed a jump - asked a woman to help her who pulled in next to her. The woman said, upon seeing my Kerry/Edwards sticker still on my car "I'm not going to help you start your car, you have a Kerry sticker".

I wouldn't not help a person based on their political beliefs. I couldn't believe this was for real, but, I remembered the disgusting woman, and just all the repugnants who mocked and ridiculed all military who were injured in battle, the glee on their faces.

1. what a rat!

i'm speechless.

[whistle]

2. You're either with them, or you are nothing!

:sarcasm:

[peacebird]

3. 8 months pregnant, 93 degrees and stranded with a dead battery

and the woman refused to help her because of a bumpersticker? Ah - the compassionate conservative in action... By their deeds ye shall know them, it is obvious that whilst they may carry the Bible in their hand they have never bothered to contemplate Christ's teachings.

[Fovea]

4. And Republican Jeezus looked down and smiled.

While Jesus wept.

[chalky]

11. New bumpersticker for that Repug cow:

found at The Unemployed Democrats

[earth mom]

13. Oh I LOVE that one! Totally appropriate!

I don't have any bumper stickers on my car, because I fear it will be keyed or worse, yet this is a bumper sticker I'm considering ordering...I am beyond sick of the hypocrisy!

edited to add to the OP: sorry that your daughter had to deal with such a disgusting human being! :puke:

[Fovea]

21. All this heathen can say is

AMEN!

[Fridays Child]

5. One hopes that some particularly nasty instant karma taught her...

...a sorely needed lesson.

[frylock]

6. i'm sure that some karmic retribution will be experienced..

but doubt that any lessons will have been learned.
People like that woman are clueless.

[ismnotwasm]

7. To me, this some kind of mental illness

Probably untreatable, or very difficult to treat, like borderline personality disorder.There is no other possible explaination--well maybe extreme assholism.(of course I'm working on a theory on how extreme conservative thought and the criminal mind have much, too much, in common) I'm very sorry your daughter had to go through this experiance. Anybody who would minimalize our militaries wounded like that needs to do a years volunteer work at the local VA hospital.

8. What state?

What state did this happen in?

[SmokingJacket]

9. Shoot, I'd help out Dick Cheney if it were 93, he was stranded,

and 8 months pregnant!

;-)

[Sugarcoated]

10. She called me on her cell phone

she was upset. It wasn't even her bumpersticker, she's not political . . . yet. But she will be. It was outside of Philadelphia, BTW.

LOL @ SmokingJacket, you guys are funny, as always.

[SmokingJacket]

12. Heck, I've been there.

My car died one day while I was driving home from the obstetrician hugely pregnant, didn't even have a cell phone, but some nice stranger lent me one.

Some people stink!

[Sugarcoated]

16. I guess we've all been there

That's why it's so sad and disturbing when someone is like this, that some people go the dark route instead of remembering how it feels to be in those same shoes.

[The Whiskey Priest]

14. Folks hate to disturb you, but this is total war.

I have family that are no longer welcomed in my home and whom I do not forgive for being Republicans. I would not whiz on them if they were on fire.

I am sorry your daughter experienced what she did, however if she gets mad and stays mad something good will have come of the event.

[yankeedem]

15. This is Letter to the Editor material

Call this woman out, however anonymously, to the whole Philadelphia metro.

[Cleita]

17. In a way, this is a kind of racism or bigotry liberals are

experiencing. People would often not help black people in a bind for the same reason back before the Civil Rights Movement. ("It might be a setup to rob us, so keep going.") This is the fearful bigotry that Rush Limbaugh has so successfully tapped into. It lies underneath the surface of the white audience he appeals to. He is telling them it is all right to be the superior race, to own everything and to live unmolested in their own communities,( except for the maids and gardeners of course). He and his ilk have successfully transferred that hatred and fear to Democrats and liberals.

[Sugarcoated]

19. Wow!

Superb synopsis! The RW Noisemachine and their paid Blowhards are a huge part of this problem. They WANT THIS, they say, do ANYTHING TO WIN, anything to reach their ideological goals. I just hope and pray the Faux ratings downturn and Air American, et al. are getting people to question the propaganda.

[XemaSab]

18. That's totally ridiculous

like, what would jesus do?

I'll tell ya, Jesus would jump her car and have her over for dinner is what.

[Island Blue]

20. Write a Letter to the Editors

of any and all local newspapers telling about your daughter's experience! Rethugs need to know just what kind of people their fellow party members are.

Best of luck to your daughter on her pregnancy by the way!

[kittenpants]

22. great idea. what a disgusting piece of crap thug!

[Sugarcoated]

24. I read her these responses

And asked her how she'd feel if I sent letters to the editor, she didn't want me to. I told her I wouldn't use her name, but, my name would be there, so, it would be obvious who she was. Do I have to use my name? I know it would look more legit if I did. I will probably do this.

The Repubs, in general here just outside of Philly are fiscal and not a majority, extreme. I don't think. But some are, and the further away from the city you go, it gets gung ho for Bush quickly. Maybe the both kind of Repugs need to have this mirrored back at them. It's just wrong.

And thankyou Islandblue for the well wishes, I am getting excited to see my little granddaughter. I'm gonna be a 43 year old grandma! It's weird, but cool.

[kittenpants]

25. You could probably just sign as a "Blue Mom" & give you town

or something along those lines. some specifics but not enough to give away who you are.

[Zenlitened]

28. You'll need to supply your name and contact info...

... in order to get published, but you can ask them to withhold your name and just list your town. :)

[MaineYooper]

23. the woman must have slept through the Sunday School class where

they covered the story of the Good Samaritan.

un-freaking-believable.

[Arugula Latte]

26. I'm sorry, but I wouldn't want to help someone with a Bush sticker.

If they were stranded on the side of the road, I'd drive right on by.

[dbonds]

27. If they have a "W" sticker , I am less likely to be a nice driver to them.

But if it was a need for help I would always put that aside. People come first. Just don't expect me to let them lane-hop in front of me.
