I donated $500 to Obama's campaign, I got a

Obama/Biden bumper sticker on a brand new car so what if I get keyed, I've phone banked and solicited, and I don't think last night's debate was so hot.
So fucking kick my ass for not adhering to the DU talking points.

A post appeared yesterday claiming their car was keyed over their bumper sticker and it would cost them $500.

Gee, how similar.

If you are for real posting this is a discouragement regarding bumper stickers and the debate.

So gee, you're not really helping "your investment".

I find it pathetic that Republicans and / or trolls would use the keying the car meme to discourage people from showing support for Obama. Just another anti-patriotic pathetic desperate act.

I've no idea what it's about.

Maybe, a parody of Romney's fake foreign affair creds last night?

Help me out here.

meaningful contribution."

I often wonder what goes through people's heads as they sit down to write these flamebait nonsense posts. And do they really feel like martyrs or something when they do the whole tired "I'm not 'adhering to the DU talking points'" thing? Do they puff out their chests just a little when they act so pathetically? I do wonder.

I can't help but to read the OP in Mitt Romney's voice.

Then... I end it with... "I'm Mitt Romney... and I approve this message."

I thought they were trying to do some type of parody of Mitt last night at first. It seemed that much like something Romney would have said to establish some fake credibility.

Now seeing the replies, and their lack of response in the thread, I guess not.

Strange days around here.

part of Arizona and haven't been keyed, altho I've been worried about it.

And I thought last nite's debate was great.

Sorry you are having a run of bad luck.
