That...isn't even clever. To renege on a deal or something would be to break it or go back on one's word. If anything, they're saying the opposite of what they're suggesting; I'd say voting against the president rather than giving him a second term would be closer to reneging than not.
That's stretching it quite a bit, it's mostly just a fcking retarded sticker/statement that probably came from some idiot saying 'Well gee, I don't know what that there 're-nig' means, but nig kind of sounds like I am a racist!, and re means to do again, so...' and eventually decided to tie it to obama. Of course any literate human being would be embarrassed to have this thing on their car to begin with, so I think it's safe to assume the fact that they butchered the definition isn't going to cause too much of a problem. |

'you have to tolerate idiots like this'
Actually, I don't think racism should be tolerated. But I can say that, as the First Amendment does not apply to me. |

"I will actually key this off of any car i see"
So, you don't believe in free speach? Only if they say something you like or agree with? Yes, this is stupidly racist, but they have a right to be stupidly racist if they want to. Despite hate-crime legislation which is inherantly unconstitutional, Freedom of Speach means you have to tolerate idiots like this. If you don't then you are as bad as any other censor out there. |

So basically the owner of this bumper sticker is against Obama because he is black? That is his/her argument? At least you can tell which idiot drivers to stay away from on the road... |

This is stupid and uneducated. I'm sure it means to renegotiate. What idiot thinks renege is re-nig. Yup, racist. |

Hey fancy, I submitted this. Couldn't I have at least gotten credit for it?
Not how it works @paperduck! All submissions go into a big pile (file?) and Mods look through them for good stuff!
However, Mods find stuff on their own and post it too. Especiall @FancyLad since he runs the place, but a couple of others too.
Multiple submissions happen all the time, only the "first picked" gets credited.
Is that close @Fancylad?
@Edgarska19: @Crackr didn't say "Buck Fush" was "racist" he said it was "tasteless" (obviously!). Both are, correct? |

@CrakrJak
So you're saying we were being racist against white people with the Bush sticker?
Or how did you come to the conclusion that it's the same thing. |

[quote">Re-Nig is not the word renig[/quote">
That's right, because if you were to spell correctly, it would say "Re-Nig is not the word renege" and that's true, it is not.
Your spelling error is racist |

Legal ? Barely. Tasteless ? Definitely.
Any worse than the 2004 'Buck Fush' stickers and posters ?, No.

@darkmagic14n: It is their right to speak their mind and to post whatever they want on their property. Just don't be surprised if someone decides to punch them in the face over it... or destroy the said property the message is on. Not everyone is so reserved in holding their anger back, or just using words instead. And though it is illegal for them to punch someone in the face, I doubt I'd feel bad if the the said person had kicked the poo out of someone who would post something so pathetic and juvenile on their vehicle. |

Protected by the First Amendment? Yes.
Socially acceptable? No.
Eventually, this person will find himself in front of a carload of people who don't like it. |

"they can shoot me on sight?"
they MIGHT shoot me on sight. Fixed.
Look, if you want to be aggressive with your speech, know how to defend yourself when someone ignores the law and is aggressive with their actions. Not that complicated. |

you give up the right to complain when someone keys your car
interesting logic, by doing something legal you give others the right to do illegal things.
so, if I call someone a wetback, I wave my right to life and they can shoot me on sight? |

It's arguable to say it's covered by 1st amendment rights. However, if you display this bumper sticker, you give up the right to complain when someone keys your car. I'm no Obama supporter, but essentially calling the man the N-word on a bumper sticker is not what I would consider a logical argument against his reelection. Honestly, this just perpetuates the racist, redneck stereotype of the TEA Party. I prefer the "One Big A$$ Mistake America" bumper sticker myself. Funny, and only offensive to grandmothers. |

Not too far. It's retarded, but we all have the right to say what we want.
I personally think it's a shining example of how shallow American politics has become. |
