If I put the following bumper sticker on my car, how long b4 I'm lynched?

[Deja Q]

"DIVIDED WE FALL" with a picture of the US flag broken down the middle?

Quite the wake-up call to the dingalings with their "united we stand" stickers...

1. Depends where you live.

So far, I have gotten by with just the darwin fish OK. But I am contemplating an upside-down flag.

2. I'll give you a week.

Still, we shouldn't be afraid of speaking our mind. I mean, this used to be America, free speech, yadda yadda. What a shame that you even have to wonder about putting a bumper sticker on your car nowadays.

3. But the right wingers wouldn't get it anyway

They would just see it as an explanation of why we need to unequivocally support Shrub, that otherwise the country falls apart. They think the only way to stay a strong united country is for dissent to be stifled, so they'd probably just think you were one of them.

6. Same Thing Happens To Me....

and my "Who Would Jesus Bomb?" sticker. hee hee.

14. i agree

they'll think it's a show of support for the war effort and for bush...

for that reason alone, i wouldn't have it on my car, just so no LIBERALS out there, would think i was supporting the idiot in chief...


so don't worry, your car should be fine...

once you go for the brazen, anti-bush stickers, that's when you should worry...

4. I want a bumper sticker

with a picture of untied shoes that says, "UNTIED WE STAND"

Or maybe:

[Bossy Monkey]

5. They'll just interpret it as a follow-on to United We Stand, unthreatening

unless, say, you put Bush pulling from one side and Cheney pulling from the other. This would be really great, but would indeed get you lynched in about 90% of the country.

7. "How Long B4 I'm Lynched?"

Would make a great bumper sticker, too

[Sushi_lover]

17. I like it

How long before I'm "detained"?

8. "I am an inconsiderate asshole"

I want to make up stickers that say this, and tag unnecessarily-oversized vehicles that selfishly take up 2 or more compact car parking spots in crowded lots.

[arcane1]

10. or those who double-park in my work parking lot!

and 99% of those offenders aren't even in SUV's! The bastards....

[Kathy in Cambridge]

13. On that note, my sister has these stickers for SUV Drivers:

"Your Luxury is More Important Than My Child's Air"
"How Many Soldiers Per Gallon?"

She hates SUVs.

[Bossy Monkey]

15. I was going to print ones reading: "I'm a pod person, and I vote"

and stick them on random Navigators, but of course widgied out.

[TXlib]

16. Ohhh! Another good vengeance sticker

to put on SUVs:

"I don't care how many die, as long as gas is cheap"

9. My advice

Which I've given many times about bumper stickers is to go to a store making business and have them chop up a square foot of their magnetic sign material into some 3 by 8 inch rectangles (or whatever size the bumper sticker will be) and put the bumper stickers on those. That way when you stop somewhere, you can pop the trunk and throw the stickers inside, and your car won't be a sitting duck for freepers to take their frustration out on.

11. That's a great idea!

And then you can cycle your stickers depending on your mood.

[CanuckAmok]

12. Thing about that is...

That it can be taken many ways. RW dingalings might take it to mean you're taking a heroic stand against thos danged libruls who are trying to tear the Nation apart with their oral sex and comfy backpacks.

AND

Progressives will see it for what it is; sensible, timely, and right on the nose.


Of course, it's location relative to any other stickers you're sporting (say "Life Begins at the Church Mixer" or "I (Heart) Communists and DeadHeads") might make it seem less arbitrary.
