My friend's response to the right-wingers who drive by our peace vigil and give us the finger
Every week I attend a peace vigil outside the office of my Congressional Misrepresentative John Kline (R-MN). While we have a lot of people drive by and honk in support of what we are doing every week, we have also had some people who would extend their middle finger to us. Here is my friend's brilliant response to those people...

7. Boggles my mind
Someone named John Kline would be a war-monger. Like someone named Bob Barker being a cat murderer.

9. Very sweet! We have the same problem.
I passed this along to our sign maker, hope you don't mind! We have a big problem with people trying to run the stop light at the corner where we stand. Some of the folks just can't bare to sit in the car next to us, even though we don't make a noise. We had one young man roll down the window and say,'I'm an American soldier and that hurts my *uckin' feelings!' He had us all worried because our signs say, Support the troops, No military solution, Peace, Support the vets, Bring the troops home. We wondered if he could actually read. NGU!

Either that or he was one of the ones that doesn't like "those people" and thinks that all Americans should practice hate.
