"If those in the anti-SUV crowd were rational, they would stop targeting SUVs and focus on retiring the fleet of aging gas guzzlers left over from the 1970s and ‘80s."

MZ Huffington can kiss my Grits.
I will now go out and buy another SUV
I don't have any breathing problems (Thank God), but I can not ride right behind one of those Gas Guzzlers, I get a headache from the fumes.

In cities across the country, SUVs have been smeared with dog excrement, doused with acid and even burned by environmental activists.

Stop calling them activists. They are eco-terrorists. I don't know what the media's fascination is with eco-terrorists that when they blow up something for mother earth they feel the need to put a nice name on their activities.

This works both ways. Elitists may regret this.

I can think of quite a few adds illustrating the hypocrisy of Babs, Arianna, Penn, etc.

The ads are so misleading that ABC’s New York affiliate won’t run them. An official from that station told The New York Times, “There were a lot of statements being made that were not backed up, and they’re talking about hot-button issues.”

This would seem to disqualify any future ads for Democrats from running on the station.

[laredo44]

Yet another example of the control freaks whittling away at liberty. So sad.

I hope they don’t realize that my ’83 Camaro only gets about 12 – 14 mpg city.

I wonder how many SUV's Norman Lear has parked in his 21 car garage (with the tennis court on the roof)? I wonder how much mid-eastern oil is burned to heat and cool Arianna Huffington-Puffington's 9000 sq. ft. mansion? Enquiring minds wanna know.

[RightOnline]

Can anyone tell me what happened to Huffington??? I mean............that wench has literally gone off the deep end. She has done a 180 in her philosophy........

Is this what happens when a woman loses her man to another man??

[bmwcyle]

Arianna Huffington's ex-husband came public that he was gay. I am beginning to think he did not start the marriage that way. She is something that rimes with itch.

Gadfly is an excellent word to describe Ms. Huffington.

My Jeep Liberty gets 17-18 MPG around the local area and 23 MPG on the road. It will comfotably carry 5 people without changing the mileage, but I want to p*ss the eco-terrorists off, so i usually drive it with just me in it.

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

The eco-nuts keep trying to use labels that stick like"road hog" and "gas hog". I don't think these labels will get past Bezerkly and Eugene.

[Destructor]

I don't care what those enviro-@$$holes say- I will continue to drive an SUV, as long as I darn well please!

[mewzilla]

I just wonder if folks who love their Saudi Utility Vehicles have any idea how Detroit sees the buyers of these things? If the buyers know just how much profit the automaker makes off of one (personally, I have better things to do with mine), and how just unsafe the darn things really are (and not just for other folks on the road, but for the SUV occupants themselves). Just curious.

SUV drivers can get gas at Marathon, I believe, to get nonMiddle Eastern gas. A boycott on SUV is not the solution against terror oil. That said, we cannot destroy our autonomy either. If that is the issue with enviro wackos, then I'm all for selling my SUVs to buy myself some nukes.

[helpontheway]

I saw a bumper sticker yesterday that said, "SUVs - Big Wheels for Small Minds." Of course, this was on a little Hyundai. Envy is so transparent.

Dear Ms. Huffington,
I am somewhat puzzled by your ad denouncing SUV owners as supportive of terrorism. Perhaps your thought process did not allow you to perceive the mote in your own eye. In looking at your residence, one is wont to profer the question how many kilowatt/hours of electricity does it take to heat/cool/illuminate that place, 24/7? I am not sure, but one can suppose that you have other properties which require heat/cool/illumination. And how many kilowatt/hours do they require, 24/7? When all those kilowatt/hours are sucked off the power grid, one can only ponder how much oil was burned to create those electrical units. Of course, they could have been made by other means, but nonetheless they all came off the power grid that also feeds hospitals, day care centers and nursing homes. Not only are you and others of your ilk supportive of terrorism to a higher degree than SUV owners, but you are also depriving children, the sick and elderly of low cost electricity by creating a larger demand.

It also requires less oil to go to the store and pick up a package of hot dogs than it takes to fly in your caviar from Russia, or than it takes to chaffeur your guests to and fro for your soirees and faux "charity" balls. Of course, you probably did not research how much oil it takes to fuel a limo as compared to SUV's. Research has no place in the journalism of accusation

You may also wonder why people in large cities such as New York prefer to drive SUV's. This is no doubt due to your lack of having driven in a large city. Not only is the view of traffic better, but one also has a greater sense of security when sharing city streets with delivery vans, trucks and buses. Even the "perky" Katie Couric admitted she would not want to be in "her Honda" and be in an accident with a Ford Excursion. One can only surmise she would likewise not care to be in "her Honda" and be in an accident with a truck or a bus. Of course, this is laughable since she was attempting to chastise Ford for making the Excursion. We all know that Ms. Perky has never set her derriere in anything other than a limo in quite sometime, and no SUV driver would want to be in an accident with a limo as only the limo occupants' lawyers would know how badly they were injured.

So if you want to "pin" a terrorist supporter label on someone by reason of how much oil they consume, look no further than yourself and your associates. And if you really want to blame someone for supporting terrorism, look no further than those who would keep the United States dependent upon Middle East oil by denying the exploration of our own oil reserves. Not only are they the true supporters of terrorism, they are also the enablers of oppressive, backward regimes that are in different time zones that are measured in centuries rather than hours.

Personally, I hate SUVs, but it's none of my business if someone wants to drive one.
