Obama Attack Droid Road Rage

Sister Toldjah shares a story which is being seen in increasing numbers over the course of this election cycle.

Excerpt:

"In addition to a McCain-Palin sticker, I have an anti-Obama sticker on my bumper. It’s not ugly or nasty. It just reads “NOBAMA.” Charlotte is a liberal city, so you see more than your fair share of pro-Obama bumper stickers here, and I wanted to make it known to anyone who drives behind me or around me that I am most definitely not part of that camp. I’m sure there are people who get a little miffed when they see my stickers, as I do when I see theirs - but generally I look at the sticker, think “you’re making the wrong choice” and move on from it, not giving it another thought.

Last week, I was about a mile and a half away from my work and I was at a stoplight in the middle of a busy intersection. Two guys in an older model car pulled up behind mine. I looked in my rear view mirror and saw the guy on the driver’s side raise his hands up in one of those “in your face” gestures and saw him mouth the name “Obama” two or three times with his hands in the air, almost like he was chanting. The light then turned green, and I proceeded to go forward, and the car behind me started tailing me. I mean, they were so close to my car that I could barely see any of the hood of their car. I was actually going just a little over the speed limit and slowed down a bit, trying to get them to back off but they got as close as they could get to my car without actually hitting it. Had I hit the breaks hard, they would have rammed the back of my car. This went on for about a mile or so before they made a sharp right turn onto a side street, tires squealing. I know both of those jerks were trying to intimidate me over my beliefs and it shook me up a bit - the audacity of it, mainly - but I shrugged it off as the day went on, thinking it was probably a one time thing.

This morning as I started out on my route to work, I was in one of two left turn lanes on one of the main streets here in Charlotte, and noticed a car pass by me in the other left lane that had an Obama-Biden bumper sticker. I looked away as I made my left turn, thinking “wrong choice, lady.” But I went on about my business and wasn’t going to think anything else of it, until the woman with the Obama sticker on her car started driving erratically and swerving back and forth from in front of me to the lane beside me. I had no idea why she was doing this at first, because there was no one in front of either of us and she could have easily gotten in her own lane and stayed there if she wanted to get ahead of me, but she didn’t. Whenever I would make an attempt to gain some speed she treated it as though I was trying to pass her (I wasn’t), and she’d speed up just a little. Then she’d dart in front of me again. The last time she darted in front of me she an I both ended up having to pull over into another lane as there was a police vehicle on the road that had stopped a car for whatever reason.

When she pulled back into the right lane to eventually make a right turn, I was in the left lane preparing to continue to go straight ahead. Do you know what this witch did to me? I looked over at her as many people will do to drivers who behave stupidly on the road, and as I was turning towards her, she rolled her window down, gave me a look that suggested she wanted to punch me in the mouth, and flipped me off. I know this was another attempt at political intimidation, because I had done nothing to provoke this. I never tried to race her, never tried to get in front of her, nothing. I minded my own business, but because I don’t support Barack Obama, I was targeted by a coward who probably would not have done that to me had we been standing in the same line to vote, because she wouldn’t be able to drive quickly away after making her cheap, nasty political attack.

My response to her was to flip her off in return, and utter a few choice words that I normally would never say. Luckily for her (and probably for me as well) my power window on my passenger side stopped working last week, so I couldn’t return the favor by rolling my window down so she could hear the choice words that came out of my mouth. She clearly wanted me to hear her but all I could see was the middle finger, and the look like she wanted to knock me out. She ended up turning right and I drove on straight on my route to work."

Stories like these are rampant. Mrs. Bubba has several to share from her experiences right here in Greensboro.

But as we all know, all these incidents are a result of the "hate" engendered from the McCain/Palin rhetoric, right? And all these Obamabots were "just exercising their free speech rights", don't you know?
