We will know soon enough and you will be wrong yet again.

So you would rather assume that the guy was just pointing at his car and giving him the finger about some OTHER thing, even though he rammed his car almost directly on the bumper sticker?

I hope you're not really so desperate to defend this guy, who was driving under the influence, because you can't believe that some people are really so fanatical about their hatred of Obama. It's not like people are trying to represent him as the average conservative or something. Some people are just nuts.

I never put political bumper stickers, nor any other kind of bumper stickers, on my vehicle. Even if I did put a political election sticker on my car, I'd remove it after the election is over. Heck, I still see stickers for Al Gore and Bush 2000.

Yes and when it turns out that was the reason.

You'll be first to tell us don't agree with it, but on the other hand Democrats shouldn't do things to make people mad.

The wife beater rational..

I put a Veterans For Obama sticker on my truck.

Never a problem in my Red State.

That just blows the right wing framing out of the park when they see a veteran with that sticker.

He rammed the guy in the rear, the bumper sticker is in the rear, so you assume he was specifically targeting the bumper sticker. I'm not defending the idiot's actions at all. I'm questioning the reason for the road rage because no where in the article does it give any quote from the police or the attacker. The victim driver is assuming the bumper sticker is the reason for the rage. Of course, it couldn't possibly be something he may have done while distrated from having kids in the vehicle. It may well be the Obama sticker but until the article quotes the rager or the police,...I'll hold off on blaming a bumper sticker.

Jump to conclusions. Didn't people do that with the 16 year old prankster who did that announcement over the Walmart speaker ?

Jumped to conclusions about racism and terrorists.

Driver says he pointed at the bumper sticker, you claim he pointed at the car. Photos show that the car was rammed specifically on the side where the bumper sticker was, you claim he simply rammed the rear of the car. If the attacker denies it, how can the cops prove it? You refuse to believe the driver, yet the police would do it for you, even though they weren't there?

Guess reasoning is simply out of the window if the evidence points to something you don't want to believe.
