We're consolidating all the political talk here. I don't want that thread to get derailed with a bunch of people posting stories about how the other side has been smashing up signs, tearing down posters, ripping bumper stickers, etc. On the other hand, if it does happen, it should be fair game for discussion.

So all election or political related violence, vandalism, intimidation, and general knavery can go here, along with theories about a new civil war or a rising tide of fascism.

This won't be stickied, so if you think you're going to follow this thread closely, you might want to bookmark it.

Have fun.

Some shmuck tried to imprison his gf b/c she was gonna vote for Kerry. I expect the insanity to only get worse. PEACE.

Civil War? Liberals and Conservatives? John Titor's Prophecies becoming true?


Then again, imagine the liberal army. (LOL, I am a liberal, but it's still funny)

Haha -- that always crosses my mind whenever I imagine a new Civil War.

"Come on, men -- we'll protest 'em to death!"

*human5892 is more of a liberal than conservative, but can acknowledge that there's plenty to poke fun of on both sides.

Some guy with a Kerry bumper sticker cut me off yesterday so I voted for Bush.

 

[IAmtheFMan]

When I went to go see Michael Moore speaking at campus yesterday, both Kerry and Bush supporters gave me shit. I was too tired to argue with either side though.

This thread will explode if Bush wins. It'll be an entire month of people with iPods rioting.

 

[MIMIC]

:lol If Bush wins, this thread will crash the Internet.

In the battleground states the [two anonymous liberal advocacy groups] have rented every van or mini-van in all large metropolitan areas for Get Out The Vote Operations. News has come up from Florida to Cleveland to check tires after making stops because cars have been following the vans and slashing them. (Considering this is hearsay all you on the right don't have to believe it; it's true though.)

In Columbus, Ohio the largest phone bank in the state is shared by [two anonymous liberal advocacy groups]. Last weekend some "group" accessed the phone lines and starting placing calls and telling people on the lists that they could vote Nov. 3rd and it would still count or that the polls wouldn't be open on the 2nd. There was a front page blurb about this in the Columbus Dispatch last weekend.

From a outsider perspective I hope for a repeat of the 2000 election. Fuck was that funny.

If Bush steals the election again, I'm gonna build me a bomb shelter in my backyard and wait for the end of the world.

A journalist was tackled, punched and arrested for taking pictures of people in line at a polling place in West Palm Beach.

America! Fuck yeah!!!

 

[Outdoor Miner]

Man, tension is everywhere. Even in my own family! Discussions get heated (they're Cuban, no stretch to imagine who they're voting for ), and it's like people want to punch each other, myself included.

I think in the end, I'm going to have to thank Republicans for their adamant defense of the right to bear arms.

*runs to local gun show to buy assault weapons, prepares for civil war*

I don't really care if you guys flame so what the hell.

Today I was driving through Tampa with my girlfriend and outside the Uni there were literally twenty or thirty Bush signs lining the highway all spaced out about twenty yards apart. Needless to say we got almost all of them and as we were ripping them up and throwing them in the dumpster some construction worker starts yelling at me that he is going to beat my ass. He pulls up in a truck and starts to talk all this shit, I told him we were a non-partisan sign destroying task force and we were authorized by the state, he asked for ID and I said I wasn’t provided with any and he said okay and drove off. It was funny. I love stealing and destroying Bush signs it is such good childish fun.

It sure is.

It was horrible to tear up those signs... but what you said was hilarious!

 

[ManDudeChild]

I am well aware of the fact that it is petty and childish but I don't care so.....

I also still enjoy egging people's house, doing the sprinkler in clubs, watching street fights, and laugh at people when they get hurt (in a funny way). Your comment emphasizing my own self-awareness is not much of a valid put down.

You're right, doesn't mean you're not still part of the lowest-common denominator group thoguh.

 

[teepo]

today i was running late to bio and when i was at the stairs, some really fucking hot girl was comming towards me and we gave eye contanct and then when she got behind me, she screamed at me to vote kerry. it was such a fucking turnoff.

 

[Dilbert]

Although pathetic, damaging or stealing political signs is apparently not specifically against the law, although it would probably be covered by existing laws against vandalism, theft, and/or trespassing.
