Hey I know...Let`s have a protest just for the sake of protesting...Oh wait, they`re already doing that.

[metalboy]

Hey, I saw a show on lightning yesterday that said 100 people a year get killed by lightning! Let`s break out the protests!! PROTEST LIGHTNING IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD!!! Are you with me??? LET`S GO!!! NO MORE LIGHTNING NO MORE LIGHTNING NO MORE LIGHTNING! OUTLAW RAIN CLOUDS!!

[mrs. a]

I'd be interested to see if they are all going to bicycle to the protest points...

[sgtbono2002]

These are the same nuts who had big cars outlawed and put us into SUV's and Hummers inthe first place.

[doodad]

They would probably love my camaro with full length headers, off road y-pipe, and catback (except no cats to be behind). I guess I am an unfiltered cig. Smoke up Johnny!

"Yet GM is now flooding our TV and radio airwaves with ads for the vehicles, including ads that market the monsters directly to children," the group noted in a press release.

When my son can afford a Hummer on his allowance then he can start supporting me. :O)

[VermiciousKnid]

FYI

[kidd]

Well most restaurants already have "no hummers" areas.

[sauropod]

Dealership locations?

[MadelineZapeezda]

How many people can put 20 $50,000 Hummers in their garage?

Ahh-nold can, I believe he has about that many in his garage.

[Eagle Eye]

Good thing I don't go through 20 hummers a day.

But I'd sure like to try!! But are we talking about the same thing?

[TheBattman]

ANd how do those "protestors" get to their events? They wouldn't use any sort of SUV or VAN to get there, would they? If they show up in anything less than carpools using the most efficient vehicles on the road, then they are nothing but big hipocrates.

Of course - what are their signs made out of? How many trees senslessly died to make the paper thier signs made of?

[philman_36]

Why aren't these buffoons protesting at military bases? The military has a far more numerous amount of these vehices actually in service which "contribute enormously to global warming, air pollution, and childhood asthma" than the civilian population does combined!
I guess it's just too much for them to comprehend.

[Arrowhead1952]

The Chesapeake Climate Action Network, offering a "gas-guzzling" argument, says Hummers "contribute enormously to global warming, air pollution, and childhood asthma," and thus they are "a huge threat to children and other car passengers who share the road" with them.

This could read Austin's (TX) EV Whackos. I will post a story about their garbage here.

[Agnes Heep]

I've nothing against big cars per se, but if current trends continue we'll soon see dump trucks, cement mixers and Abrams tanks at our local auto dealer.

[CaptRon]

Ah, yes, the cynical appeal to the welfare of the children always at the top of the liberal bag-o-tricks.

[CaptRon]

Dibs on the Abrams.

Hummers Are As Harmful As Cigarettes

I guess Clinton will be making more use of his XPOTUS medical benefits, then.

[PetroniDE]

OK Liberal Protestors, I will make a deal.

I will NOT buy a hummer. Instead, I will buy one of THESE (hint: don't get in my way on the road).

[bk1000]

Often need a cig after a H.....oh never mind
