Va. bill floats Tea Party license plate
November 11, 2010 - 1:35pm

RICHMOND, Va. - A state lawmaker is proposing a bill to create a license plate for Virginians to express solidarity with the spirit of the Tea Party movement.

At the request of constituents, Henrico County Republican Del. John O'Bannon has filed legislation to establish a "Don't Tread On Me" license plate. The plate features the rattlesnake emblem and yellow background of the historic Gadsden Flag, which has become a symbol for the Tea Party movement.

The Virginian-Pilot reports that about 600 people have expressed interest in the plates through a group tied to the Virginia Tea Party Patriots federation.

Before a specialty plate can be issued in Virginia, 350 prepaid applications must be submitted to the state Department of Motor Vehicles. Virginia has issued more than 200 different specialty plates over the years.

[bobbolink]

19. !!!

:rofl:

Gotta love it!

[Blue_Tires]

21. pays EXTRA...don't forget!

[blondeatlast]

28. Gotta love it (or band your own head against a wall till it bleeds). nt

[gateley]

4. "I'm A Dumbfuck" plates. nt

[Dr.Phool]

36. Or one like a DUer's sig line, sith the snake and electric bolts.

"Don't taze me bro".

[struggle4progress]

5. I wonder if we could have plates celebrating the Country Joe Fish cheer

[AsahinaKimi]

6. Actually

Thats a legitimate historical American symbol. Its just that the tea baggers have latched on to it, to represent them. It should represent all Americans, not just the idiots in the Tea party movement.

[GreenPartyVoter]

17. +1

[JVS]

7. I love that people who are ostensibly afraid of big government overstepping its bounds...

have voluntarily registered for a state tag that declares their politics. The only thing that could be funnier is if the ACLU got its own plates.

[DJ13]

8. Im waiting for the anti banker plate with a guillotine on it

[JVS]

11. how about an anarchist plate

[madmax]

15. Now that one I could go for.

[Barack_America]

9. Sounds like DUers in Virginia could have a DU specialty plate.

If they wanted to. ;)

[spanone]

10. are states permitted to put politics on license plates?

[sellitman]

12. These are that plate

Its just how you pronounce asshole.

[Solly Mack]

13. OMG! Snake! Help! plates?

[scarletwoman]

14. Oh, this one is too easy. Every liberal and Democrat in Virginia should get this plate, too.

Mount them proudly on their vehicles -- along with their Darwin Fish, Peace Symbols, COEXIST stickers, Hands Off My Social Security, Wiccan Pentacles, Kill Capitalism, or any other good old liberal bumper sticker messages.

Render that license plate absolutely useless as a Tea Party message.

I like the Gadsden Flag, no way we should cede ownership of it to those assholes.

41. That plate, personalized

with "NOTEA4ME".

[slampoet]

16. "I'm sick of these mother fucking snakes on these mother fucking plates!!"

[Lisa0825]

18. LOL

:rofl:

[laughingliberal]

20. I think we've got some here in NV who want those, too. But we did tread on them.

Their batshit candidate went down in flames here. :)

[DainBramaged]

23. I would bet that if a Support Gay Marriage or Legalize Marijuana plate

were suggested, a LOT more than 600 would show interest, but I also bet it would cause the Fundies head's to explode.

[Historic NY]

24. It will certainly identify them...ROFLMAO

[madinmaryland]

25. Snakes on a Motherfucking Plate!!1!!

:yoiks:

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

26. Makes me embarrassed that I live here.

[lunatica]

29. Looks like a snake in the grass to me.

[Jester Messiah]

30. This state is going down the shitter with alarming rapidity.

My gaze is drawn longingly Northward to Maryland... or Canada.

[Odin2005]

31. Why not? there already are "my kid beat up your honor student" bunper stickers.

[jancantor]

32. Reminds me of New Hampshire's official motto

which is also on their license plate:"Live Free or Die"

[Kingofalldems]

33. Hmmmm. Very familiar.

[beac]

34. Gah! How did i just KNOW this was going to come from my f-ed up state?

I thought our official "I'm an Asshole" plate was the "Sons of Confederate Veterans" one. Looks like we might have two to choose from soon. :puke:

[RB TexLa]

35. They sell University of Alabama Crimson Tide ones, nothing is more offensive to see on the road than

that.

[csziggy]

37. Does Virignia have specialty plates for other political parties?

If not, why start with one that advocates the overthrow of the US government?

Why not drop back to the old standby for that, the Stars & Bars and advocate for the Confederate States of America?
:sarcasm:

[Raine]

38. LOL the irony

I loved that motto when chimp was prez and was going to get a flag to fly with that on it. :think: Then a fellow DUer told me I would be mistaken for a survivalist, SIGH. :yoiks:

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

39. What do you mean, "next"? That IS an "I'm an asshole" plate. -nt

[Bjorn Against]

40. I saw a great sign a couple weeks ago that said "Don't tread on anyone"

Perfect counter to the selfishness of the tea party.
