Jumped to conclusions about racism and terrorists.
Yeah what a ridiculous conclusion for me to think that the guy who had his car rammed has a reasonable understanding of what happened.

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.
The vehicle was not exactly rammed...the alleged victim stated he saw the driver speed toward his vehicle and he slammed on his brakes, forcing the vehicle to hit the rear of his car.

This driver had his 12 year old daughter in the car and slams on his brakes. The driver wanted the vehicle to hit him, his actions put his daughter in danger.

Default Road rage, accident centers on Obama bumper sticker

Duren said, "He pushed my car up towards the sidewalk, almost onto the sidewalk."

Police say Harry Weisiger is charged with felony reckless endangerment in the incident.


Road rage, accident centers on Obama bumper sticker - WKRN, Nashville, Tennessee News, Weather, and Sports |

Why is it that the party of "Personal Responsibility" have such a hard time controlling themselves!!

They also seem to want to control what others do, think, or believe.

Because this guy doesn't like the President he feels he has the right to attack anyone that supports the President.

In the wrong city had be a statistic about now.

No evidence to corroborate the victims claim. He claims it was because of his bumper sticker, that's it. /shrug

Wow I read the story but my reading comprehension must really suck.
You see when I read it I thought his daughter was 10 not 12. I thought the perp drove up behind him and bumped his car before he applied the brakes.

Then again I'm not trying to protect some wacko that tried to kill a 10 year old girl. Maybe I read it right.

Or maybe the victim forgot to signal before crossing into the rager's path thus cutting him off. All the article has is the victim's opinion on what caused the rager. Nothing from the police or the rager.

The ironic thing is that this happened on a public road or in Republican vernacular, a socialistic road.

Why are cons using products of socialism?

Providing roads for transportation, providing police, military, and fire fighting for defense, and maintaining water ways as part of transportation are all part of a government's job,...it's not a socialistic road.
