Saturday, March 17, 2012 6:40:42 AM OutWest all that effort and all you found out is that someone edited it which means next to nothing in regards to authenticity. With far less effort you could have googled renig and seen that it's all over the news and with comments from the manufacturer. |

Saturday, March 17, 2012 6:33:30 AM Ah, clever. Although after thinking about it for a while, I don't think it'd be very effective to people who give things a think. The sticker's referring to the whole slavery thing that happened in America. Bringing that up usually makes people feel sad and sorry for the people that had to go through that, and they may feel like giving Obama a fair go to make up for it. Even though he's not a descendant of any slaves from that era. |

Saturday, March 17, 2012 6:26:21 AM It doesn't even make sense. A play on words is meant to have another meaning but the meaning shouldn't conflict. On one hand we have "Don't re-elect the black guy" paraphrased for obvious reasons. On the other hand renig is to take back. With reference to Obama, don't take back in 2012. The only thing to take back is votes. So don't re-elect the black guy in 2012 but don't take back his votes and thus keep him in office. Guess I can't be too surprised that one ignorant enough to be racist is ignorant enough to use a contradictory play on words. |

Saturday, March 17, 2012 5:06:13 AM "Free speech is allowed. However so is protest, I say key the car." Protest means you can hold a sign saying you don't like the sticker. Keying the car is vandalism/destruction of property... All you brick wielding, key scratching a$$holes need to grow up and leave other peoples property alone. |

Friday, March 16, 2012 10:35:28 PM This site http://www.pskiller.com/ Results: Make/Model information is missing. Image has been compressed to JPEG twice. So.... who knows? I don't trust things like this posted on the net to be real or not to be. But again, we do have racists living here, as does every nation, society, group, etc.... |

Friday, March 16, 2012 10:17:30 PM No such luck @OutWest, it's real. AND You are correct: supporters of the 'left' have carved their own skin and even killed themselves in an effort to discredit the 'right'. So it would NOT surprise me at all if a leftist group printed and sold these. We can't find out easily since the site is off-line, eh? |

Friday, March 16, 2012 10:15:15 PM There are plenty of foul words that rightfully apply to obummer, resorting to racism is a sign of low intelligence. |

Friday, March 16, 2012 10:07:52 PM Photoshopped? The size and perspective looks off? Plus the bottom of the sticker is on the recessed curve of the door handle hardware, and yet the sticker runs straight across without indenting? But maybe it was just put on. Why are you surprised or shocked that there are racist people here? or anywhere? Heck some people would do such a thing just to get a reaction from others. Heck even an Obama zealot would post such a pic thinking they would make the other side look bad. Not only that.... the rhetoric and vile name calling flies from both sides. This past week has been really bad. But I think it's going to get a whole lot worse before November. Still looks shopped to me.... But, I am not an expert on PS. |

Friday, March 16, 2012 9:54:32 PM Even back when I was crazy into politics I would never put a political bumper sticker on my car because I was afraid of getting keyed. This guy is seriously asking for it. Negative actions sometimes attract negative responses. |

Friday, March 16, 2012 9:46:00 PM I believe in free speech. I also believe doing this is asking for someone to key your car. And you deserve it; and worse.
