It's only a hate crime if the victim was one of Eric Holder's people.

I had my Ford Explorer vandlized. On my back hood, someone wrote, in permanent marker “I SUCK D**K”.
My gas station guy saw it, and seemed embarrassed to tell me, but eventually did, that some wrote “bad thing on my car”. I got out to look. I thought it was written in my “dust”, but when I went to wipe it off with the rag he gave me, I realized it was a permanent marker.
He removed it with gasoline.

Unfortunately, in the eyes of those who determine what is and is not a ‘hate crime’, this may not be so much a crime as a public service. Hate crimes can only be committed against people of certain groups, and tea party people aren’t among them.

"race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, or mental, physical, or sensory handicap."
I notice "political views" are not on the list so it's still A-OK to harass Republicans and TEA party members as long as you can show it's not for any of the other reasons.

Yes; and that's why it's a shame that for personal property and PERSONAL protection, most REAL Patriotic Americans who don't have CCW Permits are afraid to put ANY non-Socialist/Progressive/Politically-Correct bumper stickers on their cars, EVEN DURING ELECTION SEASON. The State-Run-Media will ALWAYS proclaim (often through a surrogate) that "You see a lot more Democrat bumper stickers than you do Republican" and try to intimate that "more Democrats are energized/present" than there really are.
I make it a point to tell ANY Reporter or Reporerette that nabs me in an Exit Poll that I voted straight "D", and FOR all the Left-Wing Ballot Issues.....just so they can shove their Exit Polling up their asses, as far as "Accuracy" goes.
How many on FR are packing bumper stickers that are proclaiming Freedom, Constitution, or God-referenced slogans?

"How many on FR are packing bumper stickers that are proclaiming Freedom, Constitution, or God-referenced slogans?"I sport a Gadsden Flag sticker with the slogans "Live Free or Die" and "Don't Tread on Me" on it.
Oh, and I'm in CA.

Having lived near Detroit for 30 years, I was always afraid of my bumper stickers becoming a come-on to deface my car. We did have a Viet Nam Vets decal defaced on our car recently in downtown lovable Asheville.

And when he puts up his political yard signs, rub them well with poison ivy! Worked great for me. Neighbor kid showed up to cut my grass, covered in Calamine Lotion. I told him I needed the exercise, and would handle the yardwork by myself.

That’s a good idea. I’ll have to try that!

“Ill have to try that!”
Unfortunately, you still lose the sign,,,, but if you’re lucky you’ll spot a Calamine-covered neighbor, who you can then shun!
To: Cordio
It’s a damn shame isn’t it?
The mere act of exercising one’s free speech via a simple sticker is so fraught with peril that it causes many rightminded folks to deny themselves their rights.
I’m sick and tired of it. I just want to catch one in the act, just one.

I was thinking of getting an offensive sign to liberals then covering the grass around the sign with dog crap, oily paint and some other stuff then hide it with some grass clippings. Video it and put it on You-Tube under the title, “Fishing for liberals”

Hey LIBERALS...
Sorry the days of us getting along with you CROOKS are over. Where is the RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH... you can't have it unless a RINO agrees with a MARXIST?
Sorry...now, when you MARXISTS vandalize a car, because the person DISAGREES with you...it is TIME we say SHUT THE F UP, YOU F***ING COMMIE BAST**DS!!

The left has become very emboldened by the Communist in Chief. They are pushing more and more. Personally I say ... Hold fast!

We have bumper stickers that say “Cut spending now!”
Americans for prosperity....on both vehicles. Recently in Terre Haute, IN we were driving along, a young guy with spiked hair, earrings, etc. honked and gave us “thumbs up”...now that was a surprise.
