when you see the oval "W" wastika on a car . . .
Just print up a bunch of these stickers, carry them with you and slap one on next to the Wastika.

15. That's as righteous a hatred as I've ever heard
But I'd hate to see an ally in the fight to be jailed for his Bush-hatred!

4. It's illegal to stick something to someone else's car
but it is not illegal to put something on their car like a flyer under the windshield wiper.


I like to put one of these card on any car with a W sticker -

It's illegal to put fliers on cars in our town.

26. even better, why not just go home, lock yourself in the closet
and silently meditate on how it's wrong to feel "that way" when you see a "w" stiker on a car

that way, you'll only be in trouble if someone is spying on you.

27. I'd feel really bad if I found out the car was made in the USA
by union labor. Not likely, but I prefer to find out someone is guilty of something first.

6. That's probably asking for trouble.
If you saw someone going around vandalizing things with swastikas, what would you think was going on?

If they respond "Yeah - I did!!" just look sympathetic and say "Oh. Oh I am sorry. I thought is was a joke."

36. Ha ha! That's a good one.
I'm going to have to try that one next time I get a chance. The trouble is, I'm finding fewer and fewer of those stickers around. They really do scream, "I'M A FUCKING IDIOT" to everyone.

20. Leaving aside the issue of vandalism...
Leaving aside the issue of vandalism, that's a fairly loaded symbol and throwing it around like that cheapens what happened. People reach for that metaphor way too easily. I lost relatives in The Holocaust, as well as The War and I would bet a lot of money that I'm pretty far from being the only one here in that category.

If that doesn't sway you, then consider this: The use of that symbol gives people an excuse not to listen to you. If you're OK with that, then well... I've got nothing.

I'M listening to you. The people reading this thread are listening to you and anyone in real life that you talk to about this will be listening to you. However, if trivializing the Holocaust makes you happy, who am I to interfere?

"Leaving aside the issue of vandalism, (the W sticker) is a loaded symbol and throwing it around like that cheapens (what is happening to many innocent iraqis and hapless americans). People reach for that metaphor way too easily (especially when their smug fat white ass is tooling around in a 8 mpg gas guzzler). I lost relatives in (iraq and afghanistan and have a nutso cousin from gulf war part I) and I would bet a lot of money that I'm pretty far from being the only one here in that category.

If that doesn't sway you, then consider this: The use of (the W symbol gives people an excuse to gloat over their allegiance to a retard, and they are so lacking in self reflexion, they can't even feel corporate america's oil and blood stained cock ramming up their ass). If you're OK with that, then well... I've got nothing."

35. smug fat white ass?
You don't combat what you perceive as racism by using more racism. Not only does it not sway the racist, it gives the wrong impression to the observer.

21. Hey, I acutally saw a professionally produced ALITO sticker today!
People are slapping fucking "ALITO" stickers on their SUVs around here... I have zero doubt they came from a local mega church. Can you believe it? Like a freakin election for the supreme court. sick.

28. Although seeing one of those "W's" on cars makes my blood boil...
...I remind myself I'm a Liberal, and need to calm down, and just accept, that there'll always be ignoramuses crossing my path in my life, but eventually, eventually the blinders do come off, and they come to their senses.

Hey, if Nazis in Nazi Germany were able to come to their senses regarding Adolf, than why not RW'ers about *?
