I salute this fellow. Apparently, not all the Vikings left on the long boats. While there are people like him, there is still hope for them.
A SALUTE TO LARS OLSSON...WHEREVER YOU ARE!

Vandalism, attempted break-in and in the end the theft of the car itself. All this after Lars Olsson put a Bush-sticker on the car.
(Dagbladet.no): Wednesday last week Lars Olsson putt his sticker in support of Bush on his Chrysler Voyager: «George W. Bush. Saving your butt whether you like it or not.»
Vandalism
-Already the same day I started to notice the reactions. There was some honking and stuff, Lars says to Dagbladet.no
-Then, Thursday morning I discovered that someone had broken off the window wipers at the rear of the car. I had to fix them, the 33 year old Bush-supporter says. The car was parked over the night in Villaveien in Asker, where he lives. The next morning he was met with new destrictions.
-Someone had tried to enter the vehicle. The handle on the sliding-door on the side was torn off, Lars explains.
Car-theft
Lars fastened the handle with a waier, and the car, with some loose parts but with the Bush-sticker well attached, was as good as new.
-Then, on Friday or Saturday morning someone took off with the car. -Because of the sticker? -Yes, at least that is my theory. I think it would be odd if all these things happen to occur right after I put on the sticker, Lars says.
Bush-admirerer
Lars is self-employed. He runs two web-sites and is a columnist and an innovator, according to himself.
-Why do you admire Bush? He has a strength of character. He does things that are unpopular if he thinks it is right, although it doesn’t pay off politically on the short term, Lars says. -You don’t look especially sad over loosing the car? -No, I understand that this may be a funny story to some. It is impractical to loose the car, but I don’t mind it that much. -If it can lead to more sympathy for Bush in Norway it would be worth it, Lars says.
Asker og Bærum police confirms that the car has been reported stolen. They have no theory about the motive behind the car-theft.

Great idea for a web cam.
Take a car with a Bush sticker and park it on the street in San Francisco. It would be like a honey trap for libs.

A SALUTE TO LARS OLSSON...WHEREVER YOU ARE!
Something tells me this guys was looking for some insurance money....
What do you expect from the country that gave us a new word... "QUISLING"... which means cowardly traitor.
I live in an exurb of Cincinnati where virtually every other car still sports either an oval "Bush-Cheney 04" sticker or a "W is Still the President" sticker!
FYI: As a university professor/administrator, I love nothing more than driving my appropriately 'stickered' car to the UC campus and parking it adjacent to a Marxist-loving/Clinton-supporting 'professor'! . . . Lars is an inspiration!
You really have a license plate that says "666WWW"? Wow... You must really think that GWB is the Anti-Christ!
Don't quite understand why leftists around the world are filled with such venom and hatred....Can't even tell you how many times my mother, with her "Pray for the Troops", Bush/Cheney 04" and "Support the Troops" stickers had people give her the finger, or cuss and shout angrily at her. Same thing with a friend of mine, she had a Bush/Cheney sticker....we just smiled and waved at them:) Made them even more pi$$ed! Luckily they both had garages to park in at night, or they, too, might have thought twice about putting them on their cars.
LOL...No...I just altered the plate in a whimsical way...never a good idea to have your license plate online! Ain't Photoshop great?
Indeed it isn't.
Pretty brave guy, he has my respect.
I gave that same bumper sticker to Jim Robinson
Amherst? Northampton?
Must read post!
LOL...no...the entire state! Actually, it is Cambridge that is really on par with Madison and Berkeley. There are some normal people up here, as hard as it may be for people to believe that.
Am I ever glad I left for the real world.
This story reminds me of the time my daughter placed a "Native Texan" bumper sticker on her Corolla in Maryland.
"Gee, Nils, I'm kinda on the fence about whether to support Bush or not, but now I've read that 'Rockinright' on Freerepublic doesn't think we Norwegians support Bush. Therefore, I will now refuse to support Bush."
Are you compulsively perverse, or compulsively stupid? Or both?
Yep. Make it a nationwide trap, and
don't just use cars. Make sure there are a few cameras that are strategicly placed to get good
pictures of the vandals faces..approach,
and departure so that hopefuly *their*
License plates can be recorded for
prosecution of these brownshirt thugs.
