"Ted Kennedy's car has killed more people than my gun"

[Catch22Dem]

Seen on a freeper bumper sticker at lunch today. My immediate response was "So has Laura Bush's" If I only had a sharpie at the time.

1. Start Carrying One With You

I will.

[Patchuli]

2. What a stupid sticker and sentiment

Ted Kennedy had an accident years ago. One woman drowned. He almost
drowned. He might have been drunk but as you mentioned, Laura Bush
caused a death with her car. What was her excuse, anyway?

Freepers are such assholes and dumb too. How can you sport a Bush/Cheney
sticker *and* a Support the Troops ribbon? Bush put those troops in
harm's way on a lie. Ergo, you either support Bush *or* you support
the troops but you cannot support both if you are living in reality.

[ohkay]

4. You just wrote

"living in reality" and Bush supporters in the same sentance!!

HAHAHAHA!1

[Patchuli]

14. Well obviously

that's an oxyMORAN! LOL! :P

[d_b]

3. haha.

He/she probably wouldn't even have gotten it.

[Patchuli]

13. Ok, that's Bowie and who?????nt

[tkmorris]

20. Well...

That looks like Lou Reed on the right and..... Tom Petty in the center? Not sure about that one.

[ghostsofgiants]

23. Looks liek Iggy Pop to me...

And I know Iggy and Bowie did work together a bit.

[datasuspect]

26. it is iggy pop

mick rock snapped the pic in 72 or so. it was during a press junket RCA had for bowie with the release of the rise and fall of ziggy stardust and the spiders from mars.

5. Oh but it's ok, don't ya know!

If someone from "their base" does something wrong they make excuses, but if it's a Dem they continue to beat the dead horse decades later. Just like they will be harping on Bill's "B.J.Gate" until the end of time, but Ol' Bulldog can service half the White House, and they'll politely ignore it. It's the ol' Repuke double standard. They can do no wrong, and everything that ever goes awry on planet earth is the fault of Bill Clinton, John Kerry, or Teddy Kennedy.

Must be nice dwelling in a bubble of denial and unaccountability.

[yankeedem]

7. It's ok if you're a Republican

but if you're a Democrat, there is no such thing as a youthful indescretion.

[Vektor]

12. Of course not...

They can do no wrong, we can do no right. Their self-righteousness astounds me.

[Libby2]

6. May I ask where you saw this?

I "know" a jerk online that uses that statement quite often.

His user name is Biff, he is from the DC area.

[Catch22Dem]

8. Oklahoma

Miles removed from the deep blue of the DC area. It's redder than red here.

[Libby2]

9. Oh damn !!

That means it's spreading.

[Warpy]

10. Actually, the fallacy is that it equates cars and guns as

equally dangerous items.

The problem with that is the purpose of each item. The purpose of a car is transportation. It is only dangerous when used contrary to ordinary, reasonable and prudent standards (like driving drunk or tired or speeding).

A gun, on the other hand, has a stated purpose of destroying a target. When it is used as it was designed, it can be lethal. In fact, it's supposed to be, which is why people own them.

That's the problem with that bumper sticker, a basic false analogy.

Plus, it's a real twit indicator. You know a lot about the owner just from the words on it.

[EC]

11. For god's sake, you're right

there is very little difference here, both got off lightly....

[WilliamPitt]

15. Best. Line. Ever.

Sorry. It is. Facts don't matter. This one was a killer.

These guys are good at it, especially when it comes to Teddy. After Teddy;s infamous 1988 speech where he bellowed "Where was George?!", the Bush campaign released a one-sentence press release in response to the whole murderous speech:

"At home, in bed with my wife, sober."

Game. Set. Match.

Love ya, Teddy, but sorry. Once you put that woman in the water, you were lunch meat for the Right. Same as it ever was.

[Boosterman]

16. Yeah

Its a pity too. Hes done good things. But frankly I cringe when they say "and Ted Kennedy said this today..."

[jdots]

17. check into that so called accident of Ted Kennedy's

remember both his brothers were killed.Before someone mentions tin foil again turn off the t.v. and read,have some inside knowledge and don't think the word conspiracy is anything more or less than history before the public relations of selfishness takes over.

[WilliamPitt]

18. .

delete

[tavalon]

19. Ouch!

But a good one!

Be a good scout and start carrying your sharpie. I think I'll follow my own advice.

[ProgressiveConn]

21. As a pro-gun liberal...

I will now have to put that on my own bumper.

If it kept Teddy from the white house it should have kept Laura out as well.

Maybe she'll try to use it to boost her street rep to get through to gang members. *pictures Laura poorly dressed flashing gangsigns with a tear tat under her eye*

[B Calm]

22. More soldiers died in one Blackhawk gunfight in Somalia

than died in two wars in Iraq! Ask any freeper, they'll tell you all about it..

[alphafemale]

24. So wait, "Guns DO kill people?"

I thought "Guns Didn't DIDN'T Kill People."

[BiggJawn]

25. Good thinking!

That's what I said to myself, too.
Need to start carrying a Sharpie myself....
