I guess that my van with a picture of OBL saying wanted dead or alive in the back window would not be welcome in New York State?

People seeing GETADOLF would scratch their heads and wonder, "What's a dolf?"

Just another sign of the weakness, the cowardice of the American political class, which is unfortunately trickling down to many of our younger generation.

Was Spitzer personally involved in this? Sounds like his handiwork.

New York, like many states, has tags on front and back of vehicles.
The offending plate. Maybe Spitzer will okay it. LOL

It’s a wonder they don’t start insisting we all get license plates like, “Join a Mosque today. Help them overthrow America.”
