Just as the McCain/Palin desperation flop-sweat starts to really stink up the country, good news arrives in this afternoon's release of new polling results showing Barack Obama and Joe Biden are widening their lead over John "What Economic Problems?" McCain and Sarah "I can see Russia from my House!" Palin.

Not only did Palin lie, she was in fact partly or wholly responsible for the failure of the effort she now claims credit for. She's a cheeky monkey donchaknowit youbetcha!

At the heart of the scandal was Keating's Lincoln Savings and Loan Association, which took advantage of deregulation in the 1980s to make risky investments with its depositors' money. McCain intervened on behalf of Charles Keating with federal regulators tasked with preventing banking fraud, and championed legislation to delay regulation of the savings and loan industry -- actions that allowed Keating to continue his fraud at an incredible cost to taxpayers.

I looked at a bunch of the other stickers on the site. Boy are they barking moonbats! I guess they don't care about the truth. "Jesus was a liberal, Hitler was a conservative"?!? Come on! What a bunch of BS!

That is very scary. I haven't seen that specific one, but many similar stickers.
I like:

Mark Steyn wrote a column about this very bumper sticker a while back. Look at the fourth paragraph for a somewhat more detailed treatment than Jay Tea's.

I'll believe that Islamic nations believe in "coexistence" when there are churches in Riyadh and Jeddah.

Thanks for pointing that out to me, Billy. It's nice to see that I can, sometimes, think just as well as Mark Steyn -- if a couple months behind.
The car I saw was in Massachusetts, with MA plates, but wouldn't it be ironic if Mark and I had seen the same Toyota and had the same thought about the bigger-than-the-rest crescent?

Back in December, the Saudis held the fifth in a series of "National Dialogues". It focused specifically on the issue of tolerance. You can read more here.

I gotta say I do enjoy pulling in front of these people so they can read my Jeep's backside.
"Peace Through Superior Firepower"
"Don't Tread On Me"
"Crime Control - Not Gun Copntrol"
"Massachusetts - Live Free or Here"
"Gun Owners Action League"
"RKBA"
And, I don't know why I didn't pick up the "Ted Kennedy's Car Has Killed More People Than My Gun" sticker at the gun show a couple weeks back. It was only a buck.
I'm surprised no one around here (Boston) has called the cops to report me.

I forgot to add this:
As much as I despise left-wing bumper stickers, in general they're more creative, engaging and clever than a majority of right-wing bumper stickers (yes, they do exist).
Right-wing bumper stickers just lack...um...chutzpah. Magic. Pizzaz. Any semblance of a design element. Clever thought. Poor font choices. You name it. And who would want to put many of these ugly stickers on their nice car(s)?
So here's just a nutty, turn-the-tables-on-them thought:
Maybe our hosts could have a Best Right-Wing Bumper Sticker contest. Choose 20 or so of the best ones, print and sell them for a few bucks and give the proceeds to charity (yeah, yeah, I'm being a goody twoshoes). Might be kind of fun, though. I've got few friends in the print business, and more than a few designers at my call.

I haven't commented here for a good long while but I am still a daily reader. Wizbang is my blog of choice for many reason.
I work with the biggest group of liberals in Raleigh NC. One co worker was denied a state inspection sticker because of all the liberal bumper stickers that adorn his rear window (lending credence to the fact that liberals are idiots because the are BUMPER stickers) and the one that gets my dander up is the "A village in Texas has lost its idiot" I swear I just want to snatch up his 28 year old ass and smack him around a bit.
He sports the Greenpeace tee shirts and a "why can't we all just get along" mentality that makes me want to hurl.
I cculd create a novella about the boy and his misguided interpretation of why liberals are idiots but the comment section would probably run out of space.

I've seen that sticker here in this very blue city of mine, and it pisses me off no end. I can tolerate the moonbattedness required to be into Goddess religions, but when you try to tell me that Islam would be tolerant of hippie polyamourous Wicca chicks with tattoos and bare flesh, you're just insulting my intelligence.
Bruce, I'm with you - I enjoy passing such folks, although my stickers are not as numerous nor as impressive as yours (I agree with Peter that we need more witty stuff). I just have a little red-white-and-blue elephant symbol and a "Fight Terror/Support Israel" sticker.

Are you people blinded by your predjudice? The point of the Coexist sticker is to promote peace between the groups...not add fuel to the flames of hatred. Do you enjoy this ignorance?
