Crazed Bush hater
A man apparently enraged by a Bush-Cheney sticker on a woman's sport utility vehicle chased her for miles and tried to run her off the road while holding up an anti-Bush sign, said police in Tampa, Fla.
"He told our officers that he just got mad at her, so he went after her," said police spokesman Joe Durkin.
Nathan Alan Winkler, 31, was freed on $2,000 bail early Wednesday on a charge of aggravated stalking, which carries up to five years in prison.
No one answered the telephone yesterday at Mr. Winkler's home, the Associated Press reports, but his father, John Winkler, said: "I know that he's very anti-Bush. But I don't see him doing anything like that. He's the least aggressive person I know."
Nathan Winkler told police he got upset with the woman, Michelle Fernandez, 35, after she made an obscene gesture, Mr. Durkin said. Mrs. Fernandez was taking her 10-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter to a ball field Tuesday when the incident occurred.
"Whatever gestures I made, I made them because I was trying to figure out why he was honking at me and pointing at his sign," Mrs. Fernandez said.
Police said that as Mr. Winkler chased the woman's vehicle, he held up a small sign that read: "Never Forget Bush's Illegal War Murdered Thousands in Iraq."
Mrs. Fernandez found a police officer and described the car and license number. Within an hour, police arrested Mr. Winkler at his home. Mrs. Fernandez said she is a registered Democrat who voted for President Bush last year.
