I was not sure where to post this story. When I found it on one of the many blogs I read, I had to take a double take. Unfortunatley, I can't offer any humor in this story, just another moment of "Is this really America?"

Road rage, accident centers on Obama bumper sticker

Posted: Mar 25, 2010 9:38 PM PDT

Harry Weisiger is charged with felony reckless endangerment.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - A Nashville man says he and his 10-year-old daughter were victims of road rage Thursday afternoon, all because of a political bumper sticker on his car.

Mark Duren told News 2 the incident happened around 4:30p.m., while he was driving on Blair Boulevard, not far from Belmont University.

He said Harry Weisiger gave him the bird and rammed into his vehicle, after noticing an Obama-Biden sticker on his car bumper.

Duren had just picked up his 10-year-old daughter from school and had her in the car with him.

"He pointed at the back of my car," Duren said, "the bumper, flipped me off, one finger salute."

But it didn't end there.

Duren told News 2 that Weisiger honked his horn at him for awhile, as Duren stopped at a stop sign.

Once he started driving again, down Blair Boulevard, towards his home, he said, "I looked in the rear view mirror again, and this same SUV was speeding, flying up behind me, bumped me."

Duren said he applied his brake and the SUV smashed into the back of his car.

He then put his car in park to take care of the accident, but Weisiger started pushing the car using his SUV.

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.

What a sad situation that someone has so much hatred inside them that they will take it out on perfect strangers, especially a child.

And this is exactly why I took all of my stickers off my vehicles! Well, I did after the gang rape and kidknapping of the butch in Richmond, CA as on the very same night, I was struck with a large bolt thrown from a car on the freeway near an off-ramp from Richmond. It appears that the jerks that threw it at me (and broke my driver's side window) are friends with the 4 suspects in this case! They were fleeing the scene of the abduction as their friends were taking that woman!!! They saw my Gay Rights are Civil Rights sticker as they rode my bumper! Then drove up to my side and threw the bolt. At first, I had no idea if they were pulling a gun or not. I called 911 on my cell and did have the plate numbers. No more bumper stickers for me!

Actually, as a butch, I won't use BART at night alone anymore as I have to ride the Richmond routes and have had more than one incident of being subjected to anti-gay/lesbian hate on those lines. Although, I do drive to the Berkeley stations and take it from there at times and just drive home. This in the Queer mecca of California!!!

Wow, that's 10 minutes from my work and this county is primarily Democrat. Scary stuff if these things are happening here, I am so frightened at what will happen in less progressive place.

I don't have stickers on my car, I like a clean looking car and I have found one gets stopped mnore if one has stickers.

I use to love bumper stickers and I had several on my car at any given time until the last few years. But now, I would not have them on my car. I sense a ill wind and I am not sure which way it is going to shift...
