...yet another good reason not to have a confederate flag on your vehicle.

Flag hell. Up here in the bastions of liberalism, this could happen to your car if you have a Bush/ Cheney sticker on it. Wanna' test it with your car?

Although I don't remember any Southerners on that thread damaging anyone's property ...

What do you expect from uncultured yankees? Northern aggression never ceases.

I'm from the South and prefer the United States flag (Stars and Bars).

People who fly the Confederate Flag seem to me to be the same as those who fly the Mexican Flag.

Agreed. That's why I generally don't put any stickers on my car. I made an exception during the Presidential campaign.

Some people up here display the Confederate flag to show a message of intolerance toward certain races. Unlike in the south where its usually innocent. Here you may send the wrong message and get more attention than you bargain for.

Perhaps, but I notice you don't say that you are Southern.

The Confederate Battle Flag is not the "stars and bars" - you've got your flags mixed up.

Tucson is a bastion of liberal "tolerance and diversity." I drove in Tucson all the time with a George W. Bush sticker on my truck. Of course, it probably helped that I had an NRA sticker right next to it. And if anybody had messed with me they would have met Mr. M1911.

Hate crime here?

What crime is not a hate crime?
I robbed your store because I just felt too much love toward you?

Hate crime laws = hogwash

Which candidate? The good car? Or the beater? And did you back the car out of the garage? :)

If the car had been sportin' the Bonnie Blue that woman would've just walked on by...clueless.

Had a project a couple of years ago in Waterford, NY
The Stars and Bars were displayed on my truck and I had several folks ask me what country's flag that was.

Actually, I put stickers on both my cars. I did not have any problem, but I was very nervous about it. Someone tore off one of the stickers, but that's as bad as it got.

Lived in Texas all my life. In my haste, I confused "Stars and Bars" with "Stars and Stripes".

I don't like Mexican Flags being paraded around our state.

Out west is different. Arizona didn't have a dog in that hunt. What makes a lot of the west different, IMO, is that it was settled by a mixture of northerners & southerners. Problem with a lot of the midwest/ upper midwest is that the population has been stagnant and certain attitudes are a part of the old moldy fabric.

You bring your flag up North to our home and we're the aggressors? Keep the damned thing south of the Mason-Dixon line where it belongs.

You're lucky. When I moved to Wisconsin, my car had an old Bush/ Quayle sticker on it. The 'toon had won the election even & my car got keyed. And I know it was the bumper sticker that triggered it because the sticker had been keyed rather maliciously also.
