Can you cure my ignorance about the identity of the fellow in you avatar? Thanks.

Of course not, D-Ray. But you certainly don't believe photo of a bumper sticker along with the meer existence of morons in society regardless of political leanings can or should be automatically assumed to be corollary.

It may be convenient for you to do so but that just makes my point. A+B does not always = C.

The guy in my avatar is Saul Alinsky. Ironically enough, staging a bumper sticker photo like that, then throwing it out on the internet would be a tactic right out of ol' Saul's playbook.

Although I didn't see any here that I would call racist, the are quite a few that I would consider insulting.

http://www.cafepress.com/+anti-liberal+bumper-stickers

These people will even make whatever bumper sticker you want;

http://www.libertystickers.com/

And, let's not forget. With the right printer, you can always make your own.

And, I have to ask again, Ron;

Is there some reason why we should believe every conservative would be above such a thing? Any more so than liberals?

I don't believe I ever made such a statement, Dave.

I also don't know the origin of the bumper sticker and photo and I would venture to guess that you don't either.

It's funny how the actions of a handful of morons in a population of well over 300 million, and/or believe it or not, the actions of those who you would never believe in a million years to be involved, can influence or solidify opinion.

These are interesting times we live in.

Myself, I don't get too excited over bumper stickers.

Fair enough, and very true.
