Slog - Comments on A Bumper Sticker Broke My Heart... http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/08/a_bumper_sticker_broke_my_heart I heard whispers that this damn "slogan" or whatever existed. Nasty rumors that, um, "protesters" (of what, exactly?) carry it printed on signs. Hell's bells: maybe this has even been posted here before, a million years ago, and everybody's seen it but me. But, dammit. I just saw it myself, for the very first time, on a bumper sticker. And the damn thing totally crushed me. Ugh. I feel like kicking a puppy. A fucking Republican puppy....

Punch a kitten instead.

Why not just kick a conservative instead.

I think it's lame. "Nobama - Keep the change" - a play on words with no bite.

Now "McSame, McLame, McStupid" - now those kick ass.

@3 It's funnier, but they're both the same message, and one has to wonder why the neo-cons want to bring more attention to that point.

I appreciate the tribute.

And FWIW, I'd personally like to see Dan Savage and Adrian Ryan kicking a pit bull puppy to death, on viral video to boot. Hey, that's just the kinda fella I am. Can that be arranged?

And no, I don't feel like letting it go.

You'll notice there's a lot of Republican name-calling and FUD without substance.

They're frightened!

Say you hate Republicans (or at least what they stand for-or don't stand for). I feel the same way you do when I see idiotic slogans, bumper stickers, etc. But I love animals, all animals, and man, I know you're just kidding, but it pisses me off to hear people say they feel like kicking a puppy, or kitten or any small living being. Mentally kick the fucking Republicans and just get it over with, no harm done.

Animals are smarter than all of us, just because we can't understand them doesn't mean there aren't huge ideas in their heads-if they could vote, I'm sure it would be for Obama!

Can't we all try to sound wiser and brighter than the McCain lovers out there, and work our asses off to make sure Obama gets elected?

Maybe the best revenge is to know we are carrying a much larger brain around than the people who support another four to eight years of Republican bullshit and destruction!

Bumper stickers are silly.

I was a little bummed too, but I've been enjoying unexpected "Another Mama for Obama" stickers for a year now and I guess the opposition is entitled to their stupid opinions.

One was a "NoBama", and the other the other simply said, "Shut up and Drill", with an oil rig for the 't'. I was at a loss for words.
