i totally believe this. i had something similar happen before the election, i was picking up my 16 yo daughter at the mall in suburban VA. a car pulled up along side me and some 30 somethings, husband and wife WITH A BABY IN A CARSEAT started yammering at me about Bush, doing a thumbs down etc. They had been honking etc. and i had no idea what their problem was til they started badmouthing Bush. i looked at them incredulously and said you two really need to grow up. i had my 10 yo daughter in the back seat and the 16 yo and my girls were just grinning and laughing and doing a thumbs UP for Bush! it was hysterical, it continued through several stop lights. i had never seen anything like it. I don't blame this woman, if he was being nasty, i would have called the cops too.
You can thank Ted Kennedy, and Robert Byrd for their hateful speeches of the last few years. Monkey see, monkey do.
