THIS IS DISGUSTING!

[crispini]

A bunch of repubs are selling this bumpersticker as a fundraiser.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3930397276

It is a picture of the WT exploding and next to it the slogan saying "Vote Like Your Life Depends On It"

His email address is:
[email protected]

Let's make his email box unusable. Better yet, let's report the little f*cker to EBay.

1. Report it to the major media!

Let the Republicans defend their supporters.

2. Check out what I just listed on Ebay - YIKES!

6. why would you list that?

or did you mean you just saw it?

[hexola]

7. To make money...

I didn't make it...it's probably 10-12 years old...

[girl gone mad]

48. I wouldn't play up the plane near the WTC.

That seems tacky.

Why not just sell it as a NYC souvenir with the WTC on it? I think enough people are into collecting WTC images, etc, that you would be able to sell it without resorting to tacky marketing.

[hexola]

57. Worthless as a "souvenir"

The value of this object is in the unfortunate positioning of those two images.

I think its an ominous coincidence...but not tacky...

[kittykitty]

24. tsk! tsk!

[IronLionZion]

3. Haha, that could be spun to help us!

Republicans are so stupid! So who was in charge during the last attack? Yup, you can trust them to protect us in the future because of their stellar record? :silly:

[AlCzervik]

4. what a sick bastard

really....:puke:

[crispini]

5. Where's that thread

with all of the email addresses in it ready to cut 'n paste?

[AlCzervik]

9. i'm doing that live help chat right now

i just pasted the add into the box, waiting for a response now.

8. we need a similar one that says "Bush/Cheney did this!" n/t

[GoneOffShore]

10. Just sent a short email.

Everyone should send and flood him out.

11. Here it is, straight from the horse's ass:

Taken from E-BAY Listing



SNIP:
World Trade Center Bumper Sticker

Republican / Bush Sentiment

You can help re-elect George W. Bush President by displaying, and/or selling this unique bumper sticker.

Unless you believe that John Kerry could do more to fight terrorism and protect our country than George Bush, then this is your bumper sticker.

This sticker contains a very simple and important message. The wording on the bumper sticker reads as follows: “Vote – Like Your Life Depends on it.” Next to the text is a photo of the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center.

This will be one of the most critical elections in our nation’s history. Publicize that importance to your community. Although it doesn't mention Bush by name, the message is very clear.

You may want to keep the stickers for your own use, or you may prefer to sell some of them at community gatherings like picnics, yard sales, club meetings, etc. You could easily resell these stickers for $2, $3, or $5 each, whatever you desire.

END SNIP.

Some of us would take this to mean DON'T VOTE FOR BUSH IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIFE!

Either way, it is crass.

[WilmywoodNCparalegal]

54. Sorry, but that is sick...

Since I was living three blocks down from the WTC on Greenwich St. and I do know a few people who died. Do these people have no shame?

Please, oh please, inform the media. This is terribly demoralizing!

[mopinko]

12. well, it doesn't say bush

if i put it between 2 kerry edwards stickers, it would mean something different, eh? guess everyone knows whose only issue is fear.

[thecrow]

50. The bumper sticker doesn't say bush, but his auction listing does

AND it falls outside the guidelines for auctions for a charity or fundraiser.
This is the grounds I used when I reported his auctions.
On ebay you are not allowed to send unsolicited emails, so be careful. Besides, he can just resurface with another email address.
So, if you want to be effective, REPORT him under the ebay guidelines.
But I like signing him up for lots of weird spam stuff
:evilgrin:

[Kierkegaard]

13. Better yet.

Register him to receive some interesting things by email...use your imagination.

[hexola]

14. Is the sticker itself really that partisan...?

all morbidity put aside...

[Kierkegaard]

18. It's not so much partisan as it is offensively morbid.

To rationalize that this sticker might be of use to ANYONE is F'in psychotic.

[crispini]

15. Yes, everyone flood the media

don't spam the poster yet, he might take it down.

[AlCzervik]

17. just got with a chat session with the ebay help guy

he said the item was inappropiate and tasteless, his words not mine. I sent an emal to add he gave me.
[email protected]

[Cobalt Violet]

19. I reported it.

It violates thier rules against offensive items. It is clearly a crime scene phote not 100 years old.

It auction has ended. Did ebay pull it?

[feistydem]

20. I just sent this thread to AAR.

Someone there might find it worth talking about.

Remember how the GOP went nuts over he MoveOn contest ad comparing Bush to Hitler? But I guess cashing in on the 9/11 tragedy is okay. Afterall, Bush has done it every chance he gets.

[IronLionZion]

23. Bush/Cheney had their own Hitler ad

the coalition of the wild-eyed and Hitler was included in "faces of John Kerry's Democratic Party"

[Kimber Scott]

21. My Email to Seller

He protected us so well then, what makes you think he'll do better next time?


BUSH bumper sticker WTC 9/11 stickers REPUBLICAN USA

[legally blonde]

22. Leave it to the Repugs

to exploit NYC and 9/11. Again. And Again. And Again. This is disgraceful. :mad:

[crispini]

25. Ok, here's what I sent to the media

I'd like to draw your attention to the following bumpersticker, which I found offensive, listed as a pro-Republican "fundraiser" on EBay. I have attached the graphic. The EBay's seller's ID is decodenny (of Elgin, Illinois) and his email address is [email protected]. This is yet another example of the Republican partisan willingness to exploit 9/11.

28. I'm asking Ebay to remove now.

I have reported to Ebay in an emergency email. Should hear soon.

[feistydem]

32. The hits on that page more than doubled since DUers posted the topic

It went from 210 hits to 529 in about 30 mins. And that was AFTER the bids closed.

I'd rather E-bay leave it up now that the news is out. Links to the images won't work once they take it down. Hopefully someone in the media 'captured' the images. I think it is very telling about the crazy rightwing.

[crispini]

33. I saved the image. And the text. .

And we have his contact info captured in this thread.

[cheshire]

34. He may have others and there are completes. I put it in favorites.

[Princess Turandot]

36. If you click on 'sellers other items'..

he has a magnetic version.

[Sparkly]

29. I'd like one to put next to my Kerry/Edwards and Clark stickers

but I don't want to support the jerk who thinks Republicans did a THING to protect people from 9/11, did a THING to protect people on that morning, or did a THING afterwards to prevent another attack.

You bet your life depends on it. Bush/Cheney = new breeding ground for terrorists, new reasons to hate America, new recruitment for terrorist organizations, new opportunities for attacks on US soil and elsewhere...

I may get flamed for saying this, but I think that bumpersticker is RIGHT -- it's just that it's a pro-Kerry, anti-Bush sticker.

42. I suppose you weren't alive or conscious during his term...

He did a lot, and for it he was accused of "inventing terrorist bogeymen," using "fear tactics," and "wagging the dog" to divert national attention from the REAL big story: his sexual affair.

Do you know what the 1996 Gore commission was about? It was about airline security. If its recommendations had passed, 9/11 would never have happened. But Republicans laughed it out of committee.

Republicans said Clinton was "obsessed" with Usama Bin Laden. Yeah, that's now Osama -- they changed the spelling to make it something new.

Do you know what the Hart-Rudman report was? It was ordered by the Clinton administration. It was ignored by the Bush adminstration. Had it been heeded, 9/11 wouldn't have happened.

The Bushies were caught with their pants down on 9/11, looking up at the sky for "ICBMs from rogue nations," which was their mantra at the time. Remember? Of course you don't. It was all about Bush's recycled cabinet reviving recycled ideas from the 1980s about Star Wars and ICBMs and funding defense contractors. I remember very, very well.

They ignored terrorism, and people like you called people like me "scarocrats" when we reminded you of it. They had plenty of info, plenty of warnings, speeches, proposals, memos, reports, and intel.

And since then, they've been Al Qaeda's fondest wet dream, providing fertile ground for new organizing, new recruitment, new hatred of the US, new opportunities.

"What did Clinton do?"

Go blow yourself.

[Zookeeper]

58. Well said! n/t

[flaminbats]

62. same here...

because I am voting like my life depends on it! :scared:

[crispini]

30. Better yet...

alert the media!

What a great story!

[WillyT]

31. Fascists Have No Shame !!!

And yet they claim the moral high-ground.

George Orwell would be... sad.

:nuke:

[Cha]

38. I am voting as if my life depends upon it...

cause it does..and it ain't for any damn bush, either!

bush inc was asleep on 9/11 and the months leading up to it.

[Cha]

41. And I just ordered one of those Yellow

Magnetic Ribbons to put on my car next to my Kerry/Edwards sticker.

It's amazing how many of those are in my small town in NY..and I think it will send a clear message when I have my own.

It says "Support Our Troops"..but I think a yellow ribbon means bring them home safely..not in a box!

Shipping is free!

http://www.magnetamerica.com/Index.html

I hope it's not some freeper site..but damn it I want one!

[mopinko]

63. i saw those everywhere

when i drove to maine last month. they were everywhere in ny state especially. saw quite a few in maine, also. they are spreading.

43. bush and his cronies were sleeping up until and on

9/11...nobody in their right mind wants that kind in charge of our National Security..condi damn rice needed a few more clues before she would alert the Airlines.

[crispini]

44. kick

for the morning crowd.

His stuff's still up BTW. LET THE MEDIA KNOW!

[AIJ Alom]

45. It is even more disgusting than you think !!!

http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=decodenny&iid=3930397276&frm=284

Check out the items. He's been selling this item for months now !!!

[TexasBushwhacker]

60. And breaking copyright laws all that time

I seriously doubt this guy owns the copyright on that image, and therefore doesn't even have the right to be selling the stickers!

That's one thing that just burns me up about Ebay is that probably half the stuff that's sold there, that Ebay gets their cut on, is blatant copyright infringement.

[quaoar]

46. The best thing to do to an eBay seller like that

Is to buy the bumpersticker so that you can then leave him negative feedback. Leave a comment about how disgusting the item was.

That feedback cannot be erased and everyone who considers buying from him in the future can read it.

[Quahog]

47. Hey Guys!

So, 20 morans bought this guy's stupid tasteless sticker. So what? We need to quit wringing our hands over little shit like this and spend our emails to the media on the ISSUES.

The fact that there is an imbecile in IL voting for the monkey based on his stellar record fighting terrorism is NOT AN ISSUE! This is a waste of time.

Vote rigging is an issue. 2-3 American soldiers dying every day in Iraq is an issue. Loss of jobs with no recovery in sight is an issue.

These are the things we should be hammering. Believe me, those undecided voters out there are not going to read a news story about this bumper sticker and go, "Wow, assholes like THAT like bush?!?!? OK, I'll vote for Kerry!!"

ISSUES. ISSUES. ISSUES.

The three most important things for a Kerry win.

[crispini]

53. yes, you are right.

I agree. But wouldn't some media i.e. columnists and such be more likely to pick up a small, human interest type story? i know there is interest in such things. admittedly this is a small story but IMO an exemplar of "repubs behaving badly." ha.

OK, forget the media, let's just email ebay and get him kicked off.

[thecrow]

49. I reported two of his auctions.

and have one of them in my saved folder at ebay.
I suggest you do the same.

[NightOwwl]

51. Anyone have "the pet goat" or "If I'd had any inkling" photos?

Or any others relating to BushCo's screwup on 9/11? I'd love to see those right about now.

[LoZoccolo]

52. The GOP has a symbiotic relationship with the terrorists.

Obviously, they are the only reason they give to vote Republican. How can we trust the Republicans to fight terror when they depend on the terrorists to stay in power? Will they do their job under those conditions?

[Kazak]

55. "Vote Like Your Life Depends On It"

I fully intend to. ;)

[TexasBushwhacker]

59. Yeah, I was thinking the same thing

Better yet, we could have a bumper sticker with good ol' Planet Earth and "Vote like her life depends on it", because IT DOES!

[noonwitch]

56. Put it next to a Kerry sticker, and you can make a good point!

In 1989, I had a "My Daddy's The Mayor" sticker next to a Conyers one. A couple of guys who saw it were calling me "Miss Young" for days.

I loved Coleman Young for some of the things he said, but the whole illegitimate child thing was hilarious, and I've always liked Conyers better. They'd show pictures on the news of the kid when he was a baby and even then he looked just like his daddy. It took a DNA test to get Coleman to admit it was his kid-to his credit, once paternity was established, he paid his support and made sure he had a role in the child's life. Now the kid is grown up, he visits Detroit once in a while for events and he looks exactly like Coleman did in the pictures of him from his younger days.

[Joanne98]

61. Dirtsville is using 9/11 again........

[Spirochete]

64. how can such a bumper sticker

help *? It seems to me it would just drive home the point of who was in charge when the WTC attacks occurred. It seems like that would help Kerry more.
