Oh, dear. Apparently, I have been caught propagating falsehoods. To wit, I linked to this piece about a man who was (eventually) arrested for having a politically incorrect bumper sticker, without noticing that it was, in fact, satire, which led commenter "noyb" to stroke himself into a righteous frenzy about (what else?) the rampant, unforgivable dishonesty of liberals:
Uh, that second story about the bumper sticker is a satirical piece, you dumbass...
Look, everyone! Dan Rather reads this blog! Hi, Dan!
"Fake, but accurate" - the left's defense when caught red-handed propagating fake news stories...
Incidentally, how exactly do those articles you linked to help your side? The "victims" are all unhinged nutcases. Are they really the type of people you want as your side's public face?
BTW, that headline about the nurse being arrested is, of course, false. She was issued a ticket, not arrested. More "fake, but accurate" stories, I suppose.
In my defense, I recalled a news piece about someone being arrested for a bumper sticker, did a quick Google and took the first hit, without reading closely enough. My bad, of course.
But it's interesting how "noyb" carefully steers clear of the other story I linked to, where a man really was arrested for refusing to remove a perfectly legal t-shirt he had just purchased at the very mall he was currently in. Apparently, in noyb's opinion, this makes said gentleman an "unhinged nutcase," and one assumes that, forevermore, noyb will have the greatest story to tell at parties about the appalling dishonesty of the Left.
Provided he tells only half the story, of course. But that kind of goes without saying, doesn't it?
BONUS SNARK: It's not like "noyb" needs to be humiliated even more in public but, what the hell, while I'm here ...
noyb gets all uppity over the fact that one of the links provided by another commenter opens with the headline, "Georgia Nurse Sues Over Anti-Bush Bumper Sticker Arrest" but, as noyb points out, she was not actually arrested, merely ticketed.
Apparently, noyb is unaware that, at many newspapers, the headline is not necessarily written by the same person who wrote the story. Not to mention that noyb seems unconcerned by the fact that the ticketing is still an appalling violation of civil rights.
But I'm guessing noyb isn't going to lose any sleep over this. He strikes me as the kind of guy who, upon reading about police who stomped a citizen, breaking both arms, might gleefully reply, "That's not true. It was just one arm. They only dislocated the other one. Typical leftist lies."
Hey, noyb. Have you ever met the Blogging Tories? You'd fit right in there. Trust me.

If memory servers, during the 2004 election, a man lost his job because he had a Kerry for President bumper sticker.
I'm sure that's what you had in mind.
Actually, no, I'm not going to take the easy way out. I specifically remembered something about a man being arrested for an anti-Bush sticker, but if it turns out to have been an urban myth, I'll take my lumps for it. 'Cuz that's we Lefties do.
Besides, it was a woman and here's the story.
cc, I had thought maybe that's what you were recalling, too (woman fired, then hired by Kerry).
If you have a hard time finding the arrest story, I'm sure it would be easy to dig up at least a couple of instances of people being shot for having Anti-Bush bumper stickers.
Oh sure, CC...flip-flopping now. Typical lefty.
I was going to give you this, but if you're going to behave like an adult...
the ticketing is still an appalling violation of civil rights.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Meanwhile, deranged, frothing-at-the-mouth, Republican-hating lunatics continue to physically attack Republicans and their property. Those aren't "appalling violation[s] of civil rights," though, right? Of course not.
Oh lord, did he just bwaha? CC, I thought this was a bwaha-free zone.
You notice Noyb added..."and their property." Righties think putting a flyer condemning SUV's on the windshield is an appalling violation of propertarian civil rights. Assaulting someone's freedom of conscience? Not so much.
I wonder what rightwing soylent green tastes like?

Nice to see Jinx still stops by every now and again to drop off a spoor before returning to his self-important existence.
ti-guy,
The bwa-ha is what passes for conservative humor. It's the shrill, abrasive braying of a jackass who thinks he has proven himself superior; a form of gloating, as it were.
Sadly misused, but we can't really expect a dull normal with an IQ in the single digits to understand what humor really is.
He probably doesn't even notice when someone turns the light on in his room so they can see to change his pants.

No, but doing things like storming and/or vandalizing (e.g. throwing rocks through windows) Republican offices and damaging their vehicles' tires on an election day is.
Of course, you wouldn't know about those incidents because the MSM buries the stories (and you wouldn't believe the stories anyway).
Come now, noyb ... you don't really want to get into a contest to see whose ideological followers can be less civilized, do you?
Really, do you?
P.S. A link for these accusations of yours would be nice. Just sayin'.
Sure, let's see whose ideological followers are less civilized. My evidence against your ideology includes:
-environmentalist whackos (e.g. Greenpeace, Earth First, etc.) who burn down research labs, vandalize cars, assault people, etc.
-animal rights whackos who break into medical research labs and release the animals into the wild (and never mind that the animals may be sick/diseased or unfit to survive in the area they are freed)
-anarchists who march en masse and vandalize, burn cars, commit arson, assault police officers, etc.
-pro-choice advocates who assault, steal and destroy the property of and make false complaints to the police about peaceful pro-life demonstrators and sidewalk counselors
That's a start. Do you wish me to continue?
Continue with more lies?
I doubt any "civilised" person would.
This thread is officially over. And here's why.
Sorry it's over. With over 2000 years of violent history to draw from it would be all too easy to prove why noyb is completely full of rancid shit.
