Exactly my point!:laugh:
Not sure about that. She wasn't an agent of the government so no one's right to free speech was being violated. She was actually expressing herself just like you were.

Vandalism is not an appropriate way to express yourself.

The other part is just semantics. She did not violate his first amendment rights, because that only applies to the government. But she did attempt to prevent him from expressing his opinion, which certainly is ironic considering that she brought up freedom of speech.

If that was a permanent marker and she marked the paint I'd have stayed and filed a police report, but I don't like bumper stickers on my car.

Someone used a key or something to scrape off my wifes Bush sticker at safeway. That one pissed me off.

Wait...white trash usually support Bush.

And is "Safeway" another name for Walmart?

Your story doesn't make sense at all...

Maybe I too have the reasoning skills of a baboon, but what does Walmart have to do with this woman's actions?

Would you have been more enraged had it been outside <insert your upper-class department store of choice>?

Well obviously this would not have happened at a Target store, because Target is a French company (Tar-jay) masquerading as an American company based in Minnesota. And we all know that only a liberal would shop at a French store, because the French do not support our war on terror. Liberals of course would be less likely to be offended by the OP's bumper sticker, because it attacks a Republican administration.

Walmart, on the other hand, is a store that you shop at if you have a giant American flag + eagle decal on the back window of your pickup truck.

1. She shouldn't have done that.

2. You shouldn't be such a wackjob to think 9/11 was an inside job.

If that's the case, then why did all the large stores in Iraq get replaced with Targets?

hahahehehe... heh heh.... Ok, not really funny...

Im saying the store is irrelevant. There are nutjobs on both sides of the fence. You do realize that using the term "white trash" is no better than someone using the " N " word don't you?

I'm wondering if the OP made this story up just so he can start another thread about 9/11 being an inside job without the thread being locked. What's sad is that my faith in Connecticut's education system has been crushed. I thought they taught people decent thinking skills. To think that someone could believe the wackjobs and their conspiracy theories - I figured only high school drop-outs with no critical thinking skills would fall for those theories.

Actually, that's likely to get you shot around here. ;)
