I saw a bumper sticker today....it disturbed me,
Remember the small square black stickers with white lettering saying "W The President" drivers would stick on their rear windshield? I saw one today that said "N the President" and I puzzled over that for a while and realized what it must have meant. I felt angry and sick and hope I am wrong but I don't think I am.

1. It probably means what you think it means..
They have pulled their KKK hats on for all to see and they are proud of it.

4. I think you read it correctly. The racists are alive and well in this country. IMO there
are many psychos running around and in the RW. I think these people make this country look like fools in the eyes of the world. I'm so tired of the RW hatred in this country. It is sick.

6. I didn't know whether to call attention to this or let it fall by
the wayside. It was just subtle enough to make me really think about it. Nader? Nixon? Then it dawned like a dirty light bulb. Bleh!

7. Can it get any worse
without degenerating into an all-out war? I'm really starting to wonder about that in a serious way.

8. You should have pulled them over and confronted them...
...according to Sister Sarah. But I suspect you have more then three brain cells. ;)

10. I would confront them if I could do any more than sputter
something incoherent. I just can't think of any words that would make a difference! Speaking to a black hole of gaping stupidity is futile sez my 3 brain cells. Yes, I saw the thread about Palin & the bumper stickers and am still scratching my head on that line of thinking.

Sort of related, has anyone seen the "'N' The President" bumper stickers that are modeled on the black-and-white "'W' The President" ones? I've seen about four of them over the past few weeks, and there's only one thing that I can think of that "N" might stand for (and it ain't "New").

Of course, this is South South Alabama, so it might be a local thing. I was just wondering if anyone else has seen that one. I'd really like to be able to think better of my fellow humans, but it's more and more difficult every day.

miles up the road in Satsuma Alabama. Hopefully it is an individual aberration on some racist scum's part. Thanks for posting this info & I'm thinking it IS just a local thing.


Edit for spelling

12. I've never seen the W sticker and won't be seeing the "N" version.
The window would be talking to Mr. cinderblock in this part of the country.

15. From 2004 To 2008, My Car Had A Similar Sticker On It
Except my sticker said "F The President." Oh yeah, I also had one with a picture of Bush's face on it with an arrow pointing at it that said, "I'm NOT with Stupid."
