FAT MIKE, musician
Fat Mike is not a happy man. "When I see a Bush-Cheney bumper sticker on a car, it's time to slash their tires," he says, calling from the offices of his Fat Wreck Chords label. "When I run into a tourist with a Southern accent, I tell them to get the f -- out of San Francisco. We're at a culture war. I'm angry at them."
Leading up to the election, the member of Bay Area punk bands NOFX and Me First and the Gimme Gimmes did more to mobilize progressive and young voters than certain red-state evangelists did for their delegations. He released two "Rock Against Bush" compilation CDs, launched the Web site punkvoter.com, and took several bands on tour through swing states.
"We succeeded," he says. "We got the word out. But obviously we're not as organized as the churches."
Even though his candidate of choice, John Kerry, urged reconciliation and unification the day after the election, Mike is not interested. "F -- that," he wrote in a statement posted on the Punk Voter site. "There's no f -- way I am going to come together with these homophobic, flag-waving, God-fearing, gun- toting, uneducated, isolationist, ethnocentric rednecks. We live in a country that's in a shroud of ignorance. We do not compromise or come together with them. We fight them and everything they stand for.".

ROFLMAO
,,, where I'm from that's called a loss adjuster.
Could there be any more appropriate names for a liberal band than these? Kinda sums up the totality of the Democrats agenda...
Dear Fatf#ck Mike, it's about freedom.
Remember punk rock? DIY? Tolerance? Anti hypocrisy?
Have fun with the Islamofascists. Sorry we ever did business you whiny, sissy, pr!#k.

May God grant my cars tires serenity, knowing they will never tred the serum stained steets of Frisco.
This guy wants to fight a war with people he thinks believes they are on a mission from God and posess advanced weaponry? Talk about ignorant and uneducated.
The only possible thing dumber than that would be to attack a group of people who are spread over a wide area and can't be seen, then make your own forces stand out like sore thumbs and concentrate them in very small areas. Oh, wait, they did that, too.
Launch violent attacks on us, will you? Son, we'd have you dusted up 'fore you went a mile. I'd be willing to bet nobody would know anything about it, either.
"The best citizens there are the winos who sleep in the parks."
I have enjoyed visiting SF several times, but I'm quite sure I can live a full and happy life if I never go there again. Maybe its just me but I can't see how a green-haired turd is going to enrich my life.
Hey, a$$holes, the feeling is mutual. I was in San Francisco the week before the election. They can have their dirty city with its 10,000 aggressive panhandlers and ridiculous striking hotel workers and overpriced, pretentious food. It's like being back in New York City befire Giluliani cleaned it up. A perfect metaphor for Democrat policies. Nobody from a red state needs to go there. There are much nicer cities to visit, like San Diego, which has a Republican mayor and voted for President Bush!
HEY, Mike!
CAN YOU HEAR US NOW???
lolololol
I love hearing the gnashing of teeth and the impotent howls of the enemy minions.
They probably have a combined IQ of 6
Who the heck is Fat Mike and what's he doing in San Francisco?
All your whining belongs to us.
Nah, Don't do that - thost guys LIKE things inserted in their pooters
Excellent choice of rifle, but I reccomend against AP ammo. Ball is as hard as you want to go.
So let me get this straight - the media is now embarking on a nation wide effort to interview and then publish articles about every asshole with a mental disorder that hates Bush. Right? It sure seems like it. Who the hell cares about this Fat Mike cretin? He's a louse-infested loser. If he gets hit by a Bush tomorrow, will it make national news? No. So why does he's childish inabilioty to "let it go" make national news?
He might do some thinking before he slashes tires.
Does any of this make you want to read Gary Snyder's poems about (presumably) soaring eagles and gurgling mountain creeks and whatever, or listen to Bonnie Raitt's interpretations of timeless blues?
But what if a violent crowd of these douchebags swarm me?
