A Nashville man was reportedly the victim of road rage on Thursday because of an Obama-Biden sticker on his car, the local WKRN TV reports.
According to the report, Mark Duren said Harry Weisiger saw the bumper sticker on Duren's vehicle, flipped him off and honked his horn.
"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 continued honking his horn, following him and bumping into his car. Duren hit the brakes, and Weisiger's SUV smashed into his car. And then, according to Duren, Weisiger started pushing the car using his SUV.
He pushed my car up towards the sidewalk, almost onto the sidewalk.
The local report said Weisiger has been charged with felony reckless endangerment.

not surprising. even during the election, one of my parents' neighbors kept having her tires slashed. as an experiment, she took the "obama/biden" sticker off her car. hasn't had any problems with her tires since.

The freakin' people need healthcare reform, so it can cover their mental illness payments.

To state what should be obvious but just to play it safe, since Republicans are looking for excuses to claim both sides do it, don't anybody think about retaliating. Ignore the GOP bumper stickers.

Looks like the Tennessee Republican Party has just found a new candidate!
Expect a teabagger money bomb for the guy's legal bills momentarily.

David Neiwert's "The Eliminationists" describes a situation that is nearly identical to this one -- only the bumpersticker was a Kerry/Edwards bumpersticker.
I'm surprised that I haven't heard Neiwert on Fresh Air or Talk of the Nation or a similar radio program. His book is right-on.
